While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Keokuk have contacted the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.

Viral Message Verification –   This is a fake message being widely shared on the social media. There is no fact on the news; this is just a imagination of some people who can truly write such news.

White sharks are deadly and known to attack, if there was any such fact on the being of the great white shark in the Mississippi River, it would have already been known.

Sharks are salt water sea mammal and they cannot survive in normal water for long time. So the above news is fake.
