ENGLISH:
Dying shark washes up on New York Gilgo beach

Eager to scrutinize a species with few samples available for study, researchers Tuesday sliced up the carcass of an enormous basking shark that washed up on Gilgo Beach in Babylon, with plans to send samples of the animal around the world.
The barely alive 26-foot shark startled beachgoers when it appeared on shore Tuesday.
It's not clear why the shark died, but researchers speculated it was ill or had been injured.


GERMAN:
New York: Riesenhai lag auf Badestrand

An einem der beliebtesten Badestrände der Stadt New York wurde ein toter Riesenhai angespült. Der Hai war etwa neun Meter lang und wog 45 Zentner.

Der Schreck der Badegäste war unbegründet. Der Hai stellt auch lebend keine Gefahr für Menschen dar. Er ernährt ich nur von kleineren Fischarten und Plankton.

Es wird noch untersucht, was zum Tot des Hais führte. Sicher ist, dass das Tier nicht von einem Schiff gerammt wurde. Es existieren keine äußeren Wunden.
