A 17 foot shark isnt going to weight 2.6 tons unless its made out of lead. I think 3 quaters of a ton to a ton might be a more realistic estimate.
I think you're on the money there Richard - 1200kg = 1.2 metric tons. The moral of this story - never trust (or cut and paste from a story by) a journalist :P
