Temperatures have plummeted across the United States, with the "bomb cyclone" snow blizzard bringing such extreme weather that sharks have been discovered washed ashore frozen completely solid.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said it discovered three dead thresher sharks stranded on a beach in Massachusetts in the past three days, as a result of the record-breaking cold snap.
It is believed that the first two died due to "cold shock" but the third was found completely frozen, with the group dubbing it a "true sharkcicle".
They were hauled off the beach to thaw so a dissection could be performed at the NOAA Fisheries Service location.
It isn't just sharks that are succumbing to the freezing weather. Iguanas have been seen stiffening and falling out of trees in parts of South Florida.
