Another bull shark found on Aussie streets after Cyclone Debbie carnage
Deadly predator was discovered just days after first in Logan City, Queensland, with local councillor urging residents to stay out of the floodwaters
A SECOND deadly shark has been found washed up in Australia just days after residents discovered the first following a flood.
The dead bull shark was captured on video by a local resident who warned others to stay out of the murky floodwaters that swamped areas of Queeneslad last week.
Logan City councillor Steve Swenson posted a video on Facebook today in which he said: “I've been encouraging you to stay out of the water.
“We've got a lot of a lot of houses behind us here that have been cut off totally and the residents have been working together with canoes to get supplies through.
“Here's the best reason to stay out the water, we've had a visitor that's beached itself here - that's Bruce the bull shark.
“So please stay out of the water and stay safe folks.”
The floods have occurred as a result of Cyclone Debbie and the bull sharks are thought to have been flushed out of creeks near the suburb in south Brisbane.

Last Thursday pictures emerged of the first shark lying high and dry in a puddle in the Queensland town.
The bull shark, which was about five-foot long, was found dead on a road which was cut off by flooding in the area of Ayr from Burdekin River.
Local residents were left shocked after discovering the dead predator washed up after the devastation of Cyclone Debbie.
Pictures of the shark went viral on social media as Queensland Fire and Emergency Services warned people to stay out of murky floodwaters.
They posted images of the dead the shark on Twitter an Facebook saying: "Think it's safe to go back in the water? Think again!
"You never know what lurks beneath the surface during a severe storm and what will wash up in the aftermath."
They added: "Just ask emergency services who came across this bull shark during inspections around Ayr, where floodwaters are receding in some parts."
Local journalist Phillip Calder was on his way to cover a story, when he discovered the shark, tweeting that it was: "The only victim of Burdekin flooding".

"We were pretty amazed, we were turning up to shoot a flooding road, we weren't expecting to see wildlife as well."
Bull sharks are the most dangerous sharks in the world, according to many experts - and many of them live in creeks and rivers close to the Queensland communities.
The Burdekin River, located in North and Far North Queensland, is known to house bull sharks, turtles and barracudas.
Cyclone Debbie hit the area on Tuesday - smashing tourist resorts, bringing down power lines and shutting down coal mines.
Thousands of people had to flee their homes and some are still without power.
Queensland's state government closed more than 2,000 schools as heavy rainfall brought flash floods to the Gold Coast tourist area and Mackay further north.
Poor weather has slowed what was expected to be a lengthy clean-up operation.
