Chisholm said that porbeagles are a cold water species, so would not have died from the icy temperatures."The reason it was frozen is due the fact it was already dead and on the beach when the arctic cold blast hit the region over the weekend."
Porbeagles are one of the closest living relatives to the great white shark and can grow to over 11 feet long, weighing up to 507 pounds, according to The Wildlife Trusts in the U.K. The species is common in Massachusetts, although they are usually not found so close to the shore.occurs for various reasons," Chisholm said.
Medeiros' photos show what appears to be a severe injury on the shark's side. It is unclear what caused these injuries. In the days following the stranding, Medeiros said that the shark began to deteriorate as the weather warmed up."He did not smell at all on that frozen day, but I hear the next warm day, he was stinky and sadly people took his teeth."
