Arctic Bay, Baffin Island, Canada, 1996 Photograph by Nick Caloyianis
Two young sled dogs sleep off their meal of fresh, though toxic,
Greenland shark. Hours after eating such a meal, dogs appear inebriated
and have difficulty standing up thanks to the strong neurotoxins found
in the shark's flesh.
