Subway commuters in New York City had the pleasure of the company of a dead shark on Wednesday.
The deceased fish was spotted lying on its back in a Queens-bound N train by tipster Mary M, who mailed images to the Gothamist.
She explained: "I board a car that's not terribly full and as soon as I enter, a stench hits my nose.

"It's not the typical urine/trash smell, it's ...fishy? I look down to the end of the car to see a dead shark on the floor.
'I think I stood there for a good minute just staring, thinking 'Is this for real'."
She added that passengers were eventually moved from the train.
A Metropolitan Transport Authority spokesman bizarrely told Huff Post: "Looks like a good promo for Shark Week on the Discovery Channel."
Erm...
