Video of a reef shark being found rotting in an abandoned aquarium has been making the rounds on social media.
Spain - These are scenes that could have come from a horror film.
A Youtuber and her boyfriend climb into an abandoned aquarium said to be in Spain.
Among the dust, shards and fallen furniture, she finds numerous horrifying remains.
The protagonist, who calls herself Juj' Urbex, has experience with such ventures.
On her channel, she offers her viewers all sorts of insights into abandoned places that she visits.
With urbex or urban exploration, people explicitly visit places that have not been inhabited or visited for a long time - so-called lost places.
At the top of her channel is a video of her visit to the abandoned Chernobyl before it was taken by Russian soldiers after the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
At the abandoned aquatic zoo in Spain, she doesn't test for radioactivity but does have some creepy encounters with dead sea creatures.
Youtuber enters abandoned aquarium and makes creepy discovery
The building of the aquarium has long been abandoned.
No name is given or where it is located - only that it is said to be in Spain.
The Youtuber makes her way through the dark rooms with her boyfriend.
There is rubble and dust everywhere.
An octopus lies on the ground.
But it's probably made of plastic or foam, the two realize after a brief moment of shock.
On their tour they find all kinds of remains of sea creatures.
In broken jars they see what might once have been an octopus.
The Youtuber and her partner continue to work their way through the apparently spacious building via stairs and corridors and make more and more discoveries until the video reaches its climax: the zombie shark.
Youtuber discovers creepy zombie shark in abandoned aquarium
It appears to be a small reef shark lying in a small broken aquarium.
He's obviously dead, and disgust quickly turns to curiosity for the two of them.
They examine the dead animal up close and are amazed that it is in such good condition.
The shark has dried up, but its rows of teeth are still clearly visible.
Since the aquarium is very small - too small for a marine life of this size - it is safe to assume that the shark was already dead before the building was abandoned.
Apparently, the shark had previously been preserved in a mixture of chemicals in the aquarium.
But after this ran out, nature did the rest and dried up the animal, which gave it a ghostly appearance.
It looks like a zombie, with leathery skin, faded eyes, and an open mouth with rows of sharp teeth.

It saddened me, even though it was dead before the place was vacated." Above all, she wondered why it wasn't removed when the building was cleared.
