Hammerhead Shark Giving Birth On Beach in Florida

An inconsiderate fisherman caused a hammerhead shark to give birth before a large audience on a Florida beach. According to the Daily Mail UK, a fisherman pulled a 5-foot-long, pregnant hammerhead onto the shore of Panama City Beach in Florida, causing the animal to go into shock and have her babies.

A crowd quickly gathered around the shallow water where the shark mom was settled to get a better look at the creature. Onlookers soon noticed that the animal was giving birth while thrashing on the sand. Several animal lovers near the scene tried to drag the shark back into water, but said the predator continued to swim to the shore.

Park rangers arrived shortly after the incident to help the shark, but sadly the animal passed away. Things turned out better for the sharks' surprise pups. Hammerhead pups are extremely independent and often swim away from their mom shortly after birth, as was the case with these newborns. They will spend the next few weeks fending for themselves in the shallow waters around the beach before heading into the ocean.

This shocking sight is just one of an increasing number of hammerhead sightings around Florida. The sharks are often seen in shallow reefs or following fishing boats. Hammerheads are not known for attacking humans and usually go after smaller prey.

Top 10 Cars People Should Not Drive

Many people love buying new and sometimes used cars. They sometimes are surprised and unaware of the risks some cars pose to their lives. Here are just 10 examples which are serious threat to the people.

1. Honda Civic Hybrid :

Many people would buy it to be fuel efficient. However, drivers should be advised that in 2006 the car company recalled 45,000 cars. I would check out the reviews before buying the car, given that this was their 4th recall.

2. Smart Cars :

This small car is highly efficient energy wise and environmentally. The smallness creates a huge problem for drivers. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported that it does not give any safety to its drivers and passengers. CAFÉ reported that 2000 deaths came as a result of driving mini smart cars.

It was voted as one of the most dangerous cars by Forbes. It lasted approximately 18 years. 14 years into driving, it began to stall and had massive engine problems.

4. Toyota Corolla :

Toyota Corollas are really popular in North America. However, people should do a little more research before buying a specific year/model of Toyota Corolla. For example, the 2007 car had 20,000 recalls because of a stalling risk. In 2010, 1.13 million Corollas and Matrixes were recalled. Check everything before considering.

The crash tests are not good. These cars were named as one of the most dangerous cars in 2011. This is also a good car for younger generations, which is even worse as they are not experienced drivers.

6. Toyota Scion TC :

Collisions and problems driving are a source of problems for this car. This is another car popular amongst youngsters, and is not a good combo.

7. Suzuki Samurai :

8. Kia Rio :

The 2009 model is not good either. This is extremely dangerous due to the number of collisions reported per year.

9. Ferari 458 :

Beautiful car overall but not beautiful for those who suffered through its combustion. The adhesive in the back tires are also know to catch fire.

10. Ford Explorer :

This car has had a history of rollovers on the highway as well and drivers should be cautioned before buying it. This was caused by a problem with Firestone Tires, 101 Americans lost their lives as a result.

Giant Labrador Sculpture Marks Its Territory on a Museum

A 28-foot-tall sculpture of a black Labrador relieving itself is currently installed on the side of the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) in Newport Beach, California. The installation, known simply as Bad Dog, is a new outdoor piece by artist Richard Jackson that is claiming its temporary territory throughout the run of the 74-year-old artist's first retrospective exhibit titled Richard Jackson: Ain't Painting a Pain.

The sculpture of the giant naughty pup leaving its golden mark on the building is made of 52 digitally cut pieces of fiber glass and composite materials that were assembled on-site. Once the structure was intact, Jackson entered the sizable sculpture with a bucket of yellow paint to be splattered on the wall. Now, the mechanized sculpture squirts a stream of yellow paint on its own. It is one of Jackson's many "painting machines" that excretes pigments in an unusually creative fashion.
