NECROPSY BY MIAMI UNI SCIENTISTS ON BEACHED LEMON SHARK

When a 7-foot lemon shark beached itself on Virginia Key, Florida, the turtle nest observers that found her there called in a team of scientists from the University of Miami's RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program. Dunlap program director Dr. Neil Hammerschlag decided to film the necropsy to use as a teaching tool.
