A "squiggly shark" with an apparent tail deformity was discovered in Titusville earlier this month – and researchers have revealed a possible explanation as to why the big fish looks the way it does. On June 3, Brian Tittle and his son were fishing in the backyard of their home in Titusville when they hooked a young bull shark. "It took us an hour to reel it in," Tittle told FOX 35. "As soon as I seen it's tail, I knew something was wrong.
"I figured it had a tough life already," he said. Tittle said FWC researchers told him the shark had scoliosis. The research team also posted its findings on Facebook on Friday. Florida officers hilariously arrest alligator at 104-year-old woman's home: 'Leave the grandmas alone' "The shark appears to have some form of scoliosis or spinal deformity affecting the vertebral column," researchers wrote.
