Watch moment beachgoer wrestles with shark before grabbing it by TAIL & hurling it back into sea
THIS is the chilling moment a seven-foot shark stalked the shoreline and sent terrified tourists fleeing at a Gran Canaria beach.Lifeguards had previously helped clear the sea and the red flag was hoisted soon afterwards.
A council spokesperson for Telde Council, the municipality Melenara beach comes under, said: “It’s important people stay calm and follow the instructions of the lifeguards and the authorities.” Most hammerhead species are considered harmless to humans and few attacks have been recorded, but they are aggressive hunters and their size and fierceness make them potentially harmless.
In June last year a fully grown blue shark measuring some seven feet caused panic off the Costa Blanca beach of Aguamarina in Orihuela Costa, south ofLifeguards blew on their whistles to warn locals and holidaymakers about the big fish and urge them to get out of the sea as quickly as possible. There are nine species of hammerhead sharks, with the most well-known being the great hammerhead, scalloped hammerhead, and smooth hammerhead.
