Cornish shark

Just read this story about a thresher shark being washed up on Hayle beach in Cornwall. I was near Hayle last year and it isn't the sort of beach you expect to find any large animal washed up on. When I lived in Newquay on the Atlantic coast we used to find large eels washed up a lot and once in near by Watergate bay a huge whale was washed up. By the time we got to see it all that was left was the huge rib cage, a truly awesome sight. I do like sharks a lot, and it seems a mystery why a shark like this would wash up.
