A shark that mauled a foreign national to death in Egypt last week will end up as a museum exhibit, a top Egyptian oceanography researcher told the local Cairo24 news media outlet on Sunday.
Scientists will mummify the predator and place it in the Marine Biology Museum in the Egyptian city of Hurghada once they finish their research on the creature, professor Amr Zakaria Hamouda, the head of the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries said.

Gotta give Egypt credit, they are keeping ancient traditions alive

I’m just surprised they didn’t say it was a Mossad-trained attack shark like they did last time.
I kind of feel left out.

Mummify and forever preserve the thing, after it shredded a human being screaming for help on video?
Does anyone else here agree with me that it would be better the chop the thing up and dump it in a landfill for the gulls to peck at?
I can't help but feel that the mummification is an honor of sorts for something that wanted (and achieved) nothing better than the loss of innocent human life.
For those that don't know, yes there's video. I watched it.
If you haven't seen the video, do yourself a favor and don't watch it. It's a snuff film, complete with the man screaming in terror, while onlookers shriek in horror and invoke the name of God, unable to help. Truly awful.

It's a snuff film ... Truly awful.
Snuff films record homicides, not people getting killed by predatory animals. The video of the shark attack is indeed gruesome (and then some), but it is determinately not a snuff film.

LOL Thank you!!! Some of the best comedy ever made! Thank for the trip down memory ln.
I’m not sure what “my” particular sharks did or ate, but I have a couple of pairs of really nice boots thanks to their species.
