it just blows my mind to see all the time what we dont know about our tiny oceans, but we know what the heck is going on on planets billions of miles away. maybe some rethinking would be in order how to spend research ressources 
KAWASAKI -- A 4.8-meter-long great white shark was found floating in a canal here Wednesday morning, local government and police officials said.
At around 10 a.m., a factory worker found the shark floating in the Chidori Canal near his workplace in the Yako district of Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki, and alerted the local government, according to officials.
A company commissioned by the Kawasaki Municipal Government used a crane to recover the dead shark.
The municipal government's port and harbor bureau and local police said the 4.8-meter-long shark is believed to be a great white shark, and had been alive shortly before it was found.
The canal is located in a waterfront industrial district near the Port of Kawasaki and is about 100 meters wide.
"We've never heard of a shark near here. I'm surprised to learn that sharks are living in the Port of Kawasaki," said an official of the city's port and harbor bureau. (Mainichi)
