It’s called a double-bogey.
Some golfers in the outskirts of Los Angeles had shock of their lives when a live Leopard shark fell from the sky and landed in the midst of the 12th tee.
“It was just wriggling around,” Director of Club Operations Melissa McCormack told the Capistrano Dispatch. “Honestly, this is the weirdest thing that’s happened here.”
The two-foot long shark was immediately loaded into a golf cart and was taken to the club house, where it was placed in a bucket of water. It was later released into the Pacific Ocean, located five miles off the gold course in San Juan Capistrano.
The employee who drove the shark to the Pacific Ocean, Bryan Stizer told the Dispatch when he put the shark into the water; he just lay there for few minutes, before shooting off into the deep waters.
Experts think the shark would have been snatched by a bird because it had punctured wound near the fin and little blood.
“I have seen peregrine falcons and we do have ospreys. Between the two of those, ospreys are probably more frequent. Those are the only two that would’ve had the strength,” Chief aquarist of the Ocean institute, Julianne Steers has said.
