    Giant 'Nuclear' Shark Terrorizing New York Coast

    A nearly 3.6-meter shark, dubbed 'Sharkzilla', has been causing chaos among marine animals off the New York coast. The shark has injured a seal, a 180-kilogram tuna, and left a 60 cm bite on a humpback whale. Scientists suspect the shark's size and aggressive behavior could be due to a mutation caused by nuclear waste leaks in the Hudson Canyon. However, lab tests found no evidence of radioactive contamination in a tagged mako shark, suggesting the 'Sharkzilla' theory may be speculative.
