Shark falls from sky onto California golf course 鯊魚從天而降落在加州高爾夫球場

Golf club employees in Southern California came to the rescue when a shark dropped out of the sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.

當一尾鯊魚從天而降,在12洞發球處附近拍扭著身體時,南加州高爾夫球俱樂部的員工及時出手搭救。

San Juan Hills Golf Club operations director Melissa McCormack says a course marshal found the leopard shark Monday afternoon and brought it to the clubhouse. It had puncture wounds where it appeared a bird had snagged it from the Pacific Ocean, about five miles (eight kilometers) away.

聖胡安山高爾夫俱樂部營運主任梅麗莎.麥柯馬克說,一名球場巡場員週一下午發現這條豹紋鯊,然後將牠帶到俱樂部會所裡。牠身上有啄刺傷,顯然一隻鳥從5英里(8公里)外的太平洋叼走牠。

They stuck the approximately 2-pound (1-kilogram) shark into fresh water before somebody remembered it came from the sea, so they got some sea salt from the kitchen and mixed it in.

他們將這尾重約2磅(1公斤)的鯊魚放入淡水,直到某人想起牠來自大海,他們又從廚房拿來海鹽,將之溶進水裡。

Another employee rushed the shark to the ocean where McCormack says it was very still for a few seconds before twisting around and speeding off.(AP)

另一名職員趕緊將鯊魚送到大海,麥柯馬克說,牠在海上直挺挺地靜止數秒,然後周身扭動、快速揚長而去。(美聯社)
