A desperate hunt for a ‘shark’ seen on tracking maps roaming the grounds of a Sydney university has ended.

A manhunt was underway through the week after researchers zeroed in on the 1.95m bull shark which was apparently recorded roaming the grounds of the University of Wollongong and even visiting one of the dorm rooms.

Fish Thinkers Research said the tag had recently detached off the Illawarra coast and was picked up on a nearby beach.Shark Smart, the government body that tracks the creatures in the sea, or on land, revealed the device had been located by a local cafe and bar owner.The man, referred to only as Zoran, found the tag while picking up rubbish on the beach while walking his dog.

“He knew it was important, so kept it, but wasn’t quite sure what to do with it,” the organisation posted on Instagram.“Robert was scouting around University of Wollongong spreading the word and came across the right person at the right time.”Source:SuppliedOn Friday morning, the tag had been tracked to the university’s library.

“Someone probably picked it up and either has no idea what it is or has forgotten it is in their bag,” the group said in a social media post.“Time to hand in the tag … There will be some very happy researchers and you will have a good story!” The University also got involved, with a letter sent to students residing in campus accommodation, asking it be immediately returned to the front office.
