Can This Salmon Shark Walk on Land?
Posted October 15th, 2007Question from Brian Lindsat:
One of your salmon sharks seems to be cruising through the Kluane National Parkland Reserve at 1 mph. Pretty far inland, too. Could it have been caught? Or is your Web site's Flash just a bit buggy?

Answer:
Please see the attached map. It has the actual satellite points along with the track generated by the smoothing program.
The shark went right up to the beach, and then a few days later appeared right next to another beach, and the line the smoothing program drew crossed some land that jutted out between the two hits.
