They've been trying to get him out and yesterday there were a couple of news stations there. Here;s an article that tells more about the shark.
Wildlife workers are trying to catch a shark in Brevard County, however it's not in the ocean but in a park pond.
"It's not often you hear about a shark at a park. I mean, it sounds like a sci-fi movie," said Billy McDonald.According to trapper James Dean, he believes someone dumped the 4-foot bull shark into the pond at Gleason Park in Indian Harbour Beach."The shark doesn't belong in this type of water, and we truly believe that somebody did release it in here," said Dean.He said it's not fair to the shark because it can't get out unless someone catches it, and that is what he plans to do.On Monday, Dean attempted to catch the shark using chum and mullet but reeled in nine turtles."I've never dealt with something like this," Dean said. "It will be difficult and time consuming. We want to get it out of here."Dean said sharks can adapt from salt water to fresh water but it is unique for it to do that."It is not a public safety issue as long as the media is putting it out there and people keep their children, their dogs away from the water," Dean said. "This shark is not going to jump out of the water like an alligator does."Dean said he is not sure how long it will take to catch the animal, but once he does, he will drive it to the Indian River and release it.

If you go to the video, you can see MOM being interviewed.
If you don't want to watch the whole video, Dad did a video of it and clipped out her part.
I think I'll just snooze here in my sun puddle until they catch him...........

Ooh a shark!
MOL, and Raz, you look just like Chester but with less furs! :-)
Sounds like you might have plenty of time to snooze, too. We would never have thought it would be so hard to catch him! What a mean thing for people to dump him out of his natural habitat. Pffffft!
XOXO
Yeah, I think da sun puddle are safe - even if it are a puddle, MOL!
Poor shark! Who would do such a thing? I hope he gets rescued soon. :-(
Couldn't the person who "dumped" the shark drive a little further out to dump it in the ocean instead? Poor shark.
Bull Sharks can live in fresh water, but that's not a safe environment for the shark or for anything that ventures into that pond. We hope he's relocated to the open water soon.
And your Mom is right... Florida is always famous for the strangest things!
Another thoughtless idea by someone with nothing better to do!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

I think it's a great idea to wait till they have caught that sharkie.
In worst case they can call the cat scouts, they are always on duty...except they take a nap.

Nice belly shot while taking your nap. We notice you have one eye open. That's a good idea because humans like me will sneak a snorgle!
Wow, that is crazy that a shark got dropped into a pond. We hope he gets caught soon and taken back to his proper environment. Raz, you are lookin' good as usual! :)
How cool...Mom Sharon is famous! Our mom saw a story about this on the news yesterday, but your mom wasn't in that one. Raz...we think you are taking the right approach to the whole affair. Kisses and hugs for Allie from Mau. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
YIKES - Sharks. I think it's a good idea to snooze until they get him. He could eat you whole in one gulp.
Raz you are WISE to stay out of the whole thing with the shark...I do hope he gets "rescued" from the pond though! Enjoy that sun puddle!
Hugs, Sam
