In total, police visited three fish markets in the vicinity of the dumped shark, with each sharing a similar story of two men attempting to sell the shark for a sum of $10 to $20.

Jorge Sanchez of Casablanca Fish Market told WPLG reporter, Roger Lohse;

"It was still moving. The gills were moving and the eyes were moving. It was two homeless (men), and I said, 'What are you guys doing with this shark?' He said, 'I got it myself. It's 87 pounds. I want $10 for it.' I said, 'That's not good. I'm not going to buy it.'"

As news got out of the shark, a passenger of the city's Metromover train came forward after realizing they had snapped a photograph of the then, still alive shark, but unfortunately did not capture the two men traveling with it. Police are trying to determine whether security cameras picked up the faces of the fishy duo after reviewing blurry surveillance video near the scene of the dumped fish. They currently have no leads.

Officer Jorge Pino of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said;

"In my 20 years of law enforcement, I've never seen a shark in the middle of the street anywhere. It doesn't surprise me in Miami. I've seen all kinds of weird things, but a shark in the middle of the street is something completely unusual. It's not a major crime here. It's something unusual. It's something that we certainly would like to get to the bottom of."

It's been determined that the Nurse Shark was not a protected animal or on an endangered species list and was thrown back into the ocean late Tuesday night. Please, people, don't leave sharks in the street.

Almapp BBDO of San Paulo, Brazil created this interesting spot for the South American VW SpaceFox. At the end of the ad a tagline is shown saying the SpaceFox can be "anything you imagine," but its not quite a hybrid so we're a bit confused by the connotation. If it could be anything we'd imagine, we'd make the SpaceFox a fauxrrari and promote it with the way more badass hybridized human-dog. Regardless, its a creative piece of advertising that somehow makes us crave sashimi after watching.

Don't stand by me little dog-fish, you're creeping me out.

Artist Seith Weiner created a tech-ceptual piece that offers the waterbound mobility on land — a vehicle driven by the movements of a fish in a bowl. How did he do it? Lessee: A fish, a bowl, some wheels and a bunch of really complicated stuff like cameras and software. Needless to say, it's one short roll for fish (sorry, Terranaut), one giant burnout in the parking lot for fishkind.
