Bull shark found dead in puddle after Cyclone Debbie

A bull shark has become an unexpected victim of Cyclone Debbie after it was found in a puddle after flooding in north Queensland.

WIN News Townsville journalist Philip Calder found the metre-and-a-half bull shark on Thursday morning in a puddle in Ayr, just north of where Debbie made landfall earlier this week.

The shark was found dead after possibly becoming stranded as water surges through the area caused pockets of flooding.
