Sharks test positive for cocaine in Brazil's drug-polluted waters

How long before the movie comes out "Cocaine Shark"?

Researchers don’t know exactly how the sharks were exposed to the drug. But they suspect that traces of cocaine were probably discharged into the coastal region through raw sewage in rivers and urban canals.

Another potential source of exposure, according to scientists, is cocaine packs drifting in water and not discovered by drug smugglers or authorities, which pose a risk if sharks bite into them.

But I think it was between South America and the Caribbean islands they found the same thing happening. It was on one of the shark week shows.

They used fake bails and see what happened. Sharks would investigate and maybe take a bite to see if it was something to eat.

Of all places, on WSCR, a sportsradio station in Chicago.
They do a daily segment at the halfway point of the mid-day show where they talk about weird stories in the news.
I think this qualifies as a weird story!
