One cool thing about living on the GulfCoast, or any coast for that matter, is what you find when doing other things.  Lately, we’ve been inundated with a several dead things washing up.

Of course we then play with them.

Our favorite so far has been a shark tooth my son found.  All evidence points to it being a Great White.  The tooth is about 5-10 times the size of the state record hammerhead.

Though not native to the Gulf, its not unheard of to find them here.  This winter we also found an alligator and a porpoise.

If you find yourself wanting to play with dead things washed up on the beach, don’t let your son fall in the entrails after the necropsy.  And don’t take a picture as he falls…
