Blue shark found decomposing in the woods in NH

[August 08, 2011]  MILTON, N.H. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating the discovery of a decomposing blue shark in the woods of New Hampshire.

Police say they found the 6- to 8-foot shark Thursday night after someone reported smelling something decomposing.

Police tell WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/n9ithU) that they believe someone caught the shark and later decided to get rid of it by dragging it into the woods in the small town of Milton, about a 45-mile drive from the ocean.
