Seward, Alaska
A dead Pacific Sleeper Shark washed ashore on Afognak Beach
recently.
On Sunday, a crew from the Alaska Sealife Center was able to haul it
above the high tide line and secure it until a boat could haul it to the
facility for study. The shark, about eight feet long, was thought to be a
juvenile female, about 80, that’s right, EIGHTY years old.
Coincidentally, the ASLC plans to study Pacific Sleeper Sharks next year as not
much is known about them.
What a fascinating discovery in Resurrection Bay for the ASLC crew
and science!
