It's understandable that land creatures such as rats and bats might make their way into our dear beloved subway system—but it's an entirely other thing when sea creatures end up down there. Which is why a baby shark inside an F train station in Manhattan caught the eye of one straphanger last night.

Max Roder was on the uptown side of the Second Avenue F train station around midnight on Tuesday when he spotted it: "I was heading home from doing some work, and was walking down the stairs at the F train station and there were a couple people there," Roder, who took the photo above, told Gothamist. "Then they moved out of the way and I saw the baby shark. Just lying there dead. It was sad and gross at the same time."

Roder didn't think the people gathered around the shark were to blame for it being there: "It definitely wasn't them, they were as shocked as I was. My theory is someone bought it to eat and it fell out of their bag and they left it there."

Roder couldn't say whether the shark is still there today, but it appears the NYCT Twitter account hadn't heard about it until this morning. They sent out a meme to express their feelings:

Oh my - can you let us know exactly where this is so we can send someone to remove it? Until then... ^SS pic.twitter.com/DMtKTQ7mwZ — NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) June 5, 2019

You might recall that a dead shark on the N train became a viral sensation in the summer of 2013. Funny/insensitive photos were taken with the shark, the Taiwanese animation team immortalized it in a short film, and the Discovery Channel issued a statement denying that it was planted there to promote Shark Week. Ultimately, a tipster told us they believed the shark had washed ashore in Coney Island and been taken from someone there.
