A Mobile, Alabama, woman received a stark surprise in her yard this week after a bout of heavy rain had caused some flooding.

Whitney Constantine discovered a dead shark had washed ashore onto her property after the rain, which was some of the worst she has witnessed in the area, she said.

Insects were crawling on the shark when cameras arrived. Constantine's husband will "most likely bury the shark," according to a news report.
