Scary footage of a zombie-looking shark corpse and other dead sea creatures shared by a couple entering an abandoned, nameless aquarium quickly went viral.
Although the couple did not disclose the exact location of the aquarium, where most animals were evacuated after damage, but some were left, they noted that the aquarium was located somewhere in Spain and was closed in 2014 after a giant 13-metre wave damaged the building. The news of the Spanish news site The Local that a wave of this size hit the northwest coast of Spain in January 2014 and caused serious damage indicates that the abandoned aquarium may be in this region.
The animals in the video are stated to be already ‘dead’ when displayed
It appears that the shark was already dead when it was first displayed. This means that the shark’s corpse was displayed in an airtight aquarium, possibly undergoing some chemical treatment to maintain its integrity, and when the aquarium was broken it slowly began to decompose into a zombie-like state.
One of the explorers who talked about their discovery states that it is very sad to discover the decomposed remains of the shark.
Next to the shark remains, the images shared by the explorer couple also show an octopus and rotten remains of squid in broken glass jars. Like the shark, these animals are thought to be already dead when the aquarium is abandoned, possibly starting to rot after the jars containing formaldehyde have been shattered.
Additionally, there are two starfish left behind in the video. However, unlike the animals we mentioned earlier, it is stated that sea stars do not show any signs of decay because they are completely dry before being exhibited.
Finally, the images of a giant squid draw attention in the video. However, the explorer couple states that this is not real like other creatures and is a realistic replica made of foam.
