The Hunting of the Shnark ?
we can again turn to Arthur Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll,
whose fertile imagination thought of a snark possibly becoming a boojum,
but would probably never have also considered that such a gruesome
and threatening creature
might ultimately feature
as bumper paraphernalia
or that, in our more modern time,
perhaps draw a fine
after being caught
at Safety Bay, near Perth, Australia.

A fisherman in Australia captured on film driving with a tiger shark tied to the front of his four-wheel drive vehicle is being investigated and could be fined more than £2500.
Footage of the strange journey was filmed by a stunned local resident and went viral after it was posted on social media.
The fisherman has yet to be identified but spoke to Channel Seven saying he caught the shark while on his boatBut the state department of fisheries in Western Australia said it was investigating the incident, noting that the fisherman could be fined if the shark was above a proscribed size.
“All whaler sharks, including tiger sharks, with an inter-dorsal fin length of 700mm or greater are recreationally protected, when taken from the South Coast and West Coast bioregions,” a department spokesman said.
But the fisherman has defended his behaviour, saying he removed the dead creature from the water to prevent the carcass attracting other predators and endangering divers who were in the vicinity.
The fisherman has yet to be identified but spoke to Channel Seven, saying he caught the shark while on his boat.
The man, who is reportedly elderly, said he was unable to lift the shark onto his boat and instead attached it to the bulbar at the front of his car to remove it from the area.
The region has had a spate of shark attacks in recent years.
