Port Clinton, Ohio: Fierce Lake Erie Shark (Gone)
A statue of a toothy maneater snarled with open jaws next to a highway off of Lake Erie, which has no sharks. Battered and removed by June 2024; looks like a wayward car took out the shark.

The shark now has a website address advertised on his belly. It's right on the side of the road. We didn't even turn our car off!
[Adam Limpert, 06/27/2017]That URL mostly ruins photo ops. Hiss!
The shark has been given a fresh coat of paint and is looking great. He's in a little gravel patch outside a taxidermy business. Pull into the lot to take a photo.

Even though sharks do not live in Lake Erie, a fierce-looking one guards the entrance to Mike's Taxidermy in Port Clinton. It is about four feet high and has an open mouth filled with sharp teeth. It was quite a surprise to see when I was driving by.

It's still there, but further back on the property, flipped on its back, and battered. Looks like the shark lost a battle with a car.
