New York City residents were treated yesterday to a reminder that it’s Shark Week on Syfy, only this one didn’t involve a cat riding a Roomba.

A transit authority conductor came across a dead shark aboard a subway in Queens on Wednesday, asking passengers to exit the train car so the unusual item could be removed.

When a supervisor got a closer look at the animal, he noticed a cigarette in its mouth with a fare card and Red Bull can nearby.

So it’s likely that a Shark Week fan was simply playing a prank, but it still begs the question: Where does one find a shark to kill in New York City?!?
