The Mexican Navy says it has seized more than a tonne of cocaine hidden inside the carcasses of frozen sharks.Armed officers found slabs of cocaine inside more than 20 sharks aboard a freight ship in the Gulf coast port of Progreso in Yucatan state.
Correspondents say cartels are coming up with increasingly creative ways of smuggling drugs into the US.
Shipments of cocaine have also been discovered hidden inside sealed beer cans, religious statues and furniture.
"We are talking about more than a tonne of cocaine that was inside the ship," said Mexican Navy Commander Eduardo Villa.
He said X-ray machines and sniffer dogs had helped to uncover the haul.
"Those in charge of the shipment said it was a conserving agent but after checks we confirmed it was cocaine," he said.

It's shame that coke ain't legal under similar consumer restrictions to those imposed on alcohol and tobacco. Then there would be no need to hunt sharks to stuff full of cocaine so as to be smuggled across the border... damn shame

That's pretty metal. Like everyone else says, demand is the only reason this goes down.

I guess that cocaine is much more preferable than the stuff they smuggle in the country in other orifices...

I was hoping that qualified as a haiku, but it's way over the syllable count.
Sharks - stranded on a ship
and full of cocaine.
