NOOSA BEACH (AUSTRALIA)- A beach was closed rapidly when one shark was chasing another out of the water. Lifesavers pulled out a dying 2 meter long bull shark onto the beach.
Noosa Surf Club lifesavers on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast quickly closed the beach after a surfer saw a large bull shark chasing a “sick” shark, and the body of a bull shark washed up on the sand.
The bull shark was chased out of the water by a 4 meter long shark. It appeared the larger shark was chasing the sick shark and it wallowed in the white water for a fair while with people looking on.
Sharks are said to be rare at Noosa Beach. Yet a large tiger shark, possibly three metres long, was spotted patrolling the waters of Noosa National Park in January and a 4.78m pregnant tiger shark weighing 500kg was captured off nearby Yarooma Beach.
Scientists say bull shark sightings increase following floods because of the species’ breeding habits.
