According to news sources, fishermen in Bremen, Maine, discovered a dead shark the size of a pickup truck on their coast on Tuesday (January 5). Tanner Fields, who was one of the first to spot the stranded shark, shared video footage of the stranded giant with the Maine News Center. Officials from the Maine Department of Marine Resources identified the gigantic specimen as a male basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus, roughly meaning “largest marine monster”) and measured eight meters in length.
