Great white shark

An unexpected incident occurred a few days ago in Porto Lafia in southern Evia, when a fisherman spotted a shark tangled in his net.

According to experts, it was clearly a juvenile great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias).

The prehistoric megalodon is known as one of the most fearsome creatures the world has ever known, a horrifyingly giant shark immortalised in the monster movie "The Meg", might be thinner than previously thought, scientists said on Monday after re-analysing the fossil evidence.

Fishermen in the Aegean province of İzmir have caught a basking shark, which is 10 meters long and weighs 2 tons, while experts have criticized the hunting of this shark species, as it is in danger of extinction.

Fishermen threw nets into the sea to fish at night in the Urla district. In the morning, fishermen saw a 10-meter-long basking shark in their nets.

Warmer waters off the coast of Devon and Cornwall could result in more sightings of the fearsome ocean predator in the coming decades. 

There are already 40 different species and an estimated 10 million sharks in our waters - but that number could be set to grow over the coming decades.
