And, In Hammerhead News
Scientists have discovered
a new breed of hammerhead shark in American waters, a rare species that appears to make its home off the coast of South Carolina. It better not swim to Florida, where some
bonehead "sport" fisherman might try to catch it just to prove that he can.
It's too late for this rare hammerhead...
but perhaps not for others.
Also in Florida news, the state fish and wildlife conservation commission has officially removed the manatee from the endangered species list, now calling it only "threatened."
Good news, you say? Well, no. The commission is stocked with cronies of Jeb Bush—no environmental governor, he—who want to make it easier for developers to build along the Florida coastline. (Yes, there is some Florida coastline left.)
