Saw this in the Post, no idea if true or not but sounds as though a lot of sightings. Bust out the gear!

Honestly I don't know what's worse. The way some of these companies advertise with hoaxes, or just how many people fall for them.

That would have been one hell of a swim for a bullshark!
To enter the Larry and swim to Mallorytown......hmmmm several thousand kms I think?
Also, bull shark need to be in 15c (minimum) water temps. Or they DIE.
Big swim for a month or two I'd say.

They go get Greenland sharks up the St. Lawrence in the winter time. Wouldn't be too surprising if one year one made it's way down a little further, still a long trek though

A bit of a tight squeeze up the eel ladders at the hydro dams.
