When a shadow began plummeting towards golfers in California, they may be forgiven for suspecting a bird was the cause. Thus, when a two foot long leopard shark landed in the tee box, they were rather bemused.
The shark, which had puncture marks all over its body, was subsequently placed into a bucket of water and transported back to the sea, where it was released back into its natural habitat. Water. Not air.
Onlookers were astounded that the shark had not only survived the fall, but that it swam off quite happily when placed back into the ocean.
Early speculations as to how the shark came to be falling towards the golf course suggested that it had perhaps been carried from the nearby coastline by a predatory bird, perhaps an osprey or a falcon. Since then, however, others have considered the possibility that it was part of an elaborate prank.
If this is indeed the case, then I will say only this.
Well done, sirs, well done.
