A 28-foot-long dead basking shark has washed ashore on a Rhode Island beach. The Day of New London (Conn.) reports that a homeowner in the Misquamicut (mis-KWA’-mih-cut) beach area of Westerly reported the shark to police on Sunday morning (April 28th). Biologists with the Northeast Fisheries Science Center are expected to perform a necropsy to determine the cause of death. (SF Chronicle)
