A female shark has returned to a canal in South Korea after an unsuccessful attempt to lead it back to the sea.
Authorities had hoped the shark would swim away from the canal once it had been guided out of the waterway. However, the rescue effort did not achieve its aim and the animal later returned.
The incident has attracted attention because of the shark’s repeated presence in the canal. The supplied information does not give further details about the shark’s species, the location of the canal or the timing of the rescue attempt.
The latest known situation is that the female shark remains associated with the canal after the failed effort to return it to the sea. No further response or next steps from the authorities have been provided.
