Only in New York.

Subway riders got a taste of Sharknado late yesterday when a dead shark was discovered riding to Queens on the N train.

NYU student Brandon Sanchez, 20, of Williamsburg said he and a friend made the fishy discovery when they boarded the N train at Canal Street yesterday about midnight.

"I walk in, and there's a pretty big, three foot dead shark on the train, and it smells terrible!" said Sanchez. "We were pretty much in disbelief, and kept laughing. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen on the subway in New York!"

Sanchez quickly Instagrammed the carcass, and then bolted to another car. "It smelled like rotten fish," he said.

He speculated that it may have been a prank because of Discovery Channel's Shark Week, which started on August 4.

"I don't think someone killed it and put it there," said Sanchez. "I think somebody probably bought it and left it there as a prank."

Isvett Verde, a 34-year-old Bushwick woman who works at NYU was shocked when she spotted the shark after boarding at the 8th Street station.

"This is the only car that was empty, and of course something was wrong it," she said. "I looked around, and there was a dead shark in the car. I was like — of course, there's a dead shark in the car!"

She said more people boarded the subway car at Union Square, and began immediately snapping pictures of the shark.

"The poor shark! It's so sad," said Verde. "I'm not surprised because you see everything here. I don't know if someone went fishing, and changed their mind — and decided to leave it on the train."

Although she had to say goodbye to the shark when she transferred to the L train station, she said she later saw pictures of it sitting up — after being propped up by straphangers.

An MTA spokesman said that the conductor reported that there was "a shark aboard the train" about 12:30 a.m. in one of the cars.

When the train reached the terminal at Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria, a service supervisor threw it in the trash after reporting that it was dead. The train then went back to normal customer service.

However, MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg couldn't help but crack a joke about the MTA's shark train experience early today.

"Live sharks are wrangled by Shark Maintainer IIs, who have passed the qualification test and have minimum three years in the Shark Maintainer I title," said Lisberg. "Dead ones are handled by Shark Maintainer Is, or if none are available on that shift, then by Aquatic Mammal Handler IIs."
