A 5-foot long dead shark was found in a St. Augustine Walmart parking lot last week, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies tell WOKV the shark was found by the owner of an RV who was staying in the parking lot. The man says he heard a loud noise around 7:30 a.m. on March 3 but thought it was made by store employees pushing carts.
The man told deputies he got out of his RV to go to work when he noticed the shark on the vehicle’s hood. He then took the shark off his RV, laid it on the ground and went to work.
Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were called to the scene, and picked up the shark for disposal.
According to the incident report, deputies reviewed surveillance footage from the store but the location where the shark was found is not in view.
