An unusual event unfolded at the Splinter City Disc Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on May 18, 2025. A small hammerhead shark unexpectedly fell from the sky, interrupting a disc golf game.
The incident occurred when an osprey, also known as a fish hawk, was carrying the shark. The osprey was likely targeted by two crows, which forced it to drop its prey. The shark landed near the eleventh hole of the disc golf course.
Jonathan Marlowe, a player at the course, shared a photo of the shark on social media, which quickly went viral. The coastal area of South Carolina is home to several hammerhead shark species. This event has sparked interest among locals and disc golf enthusiasts alike.
