Nobody yelled "Fore!" at a Southern California golf course when a 2-foot-long shark dropped out of the sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.

"We have your typical coyotes, skunks and the occasional mountain lion, but nothing like a shark," McCormack said.

And don't forget the swallows! This is San Juan Capistrano...
