A dead shark has been discovered on the subway in New York City, transport officials have confirmed. The unlikely passenger, about 1.2m (4ft) long, was found under a row of seats on a Queens-bound train.
The conductor asked passengers to leave the car and closed it off. The train continued to the end of the line, and then a supervisor placed the shark in a garbage bag and put it in the trash.

Photos on the blog Gothamist depict the shark on the subway. It appears to be about 4 feet (1.2 meters) long.
It has a cigarette in its mouth with a fare card and Red Bull can nearby
At least one passenger added props such as a cigarette and a train pass to photograph with the shark's carcass.
