Australian beachgoers were astonished to see a man dragging a shark into the surf by its tail at a famous beach.
On Thursday, the fearless man was observed grasping the shark’s tail with both hands and backing gently into the water at White Hills Beach in Bouvard, south of Perth.
As the water became deeper, the man had to reach down and grab the shark’s dorsal fin to keep it from attacking.
According to witnesses, the shark was accidently caught by beach fishermen.
It comes after two swimmers were pushed out of the water by two sharks at a beach in south-west Washington.
At approximately 12:40 p.m., beachgoers 30 meters from the shore at Gnarabup Beach and diners at a beachfront cafe both observed sharks.
On Thursday, a total of 25 sharks were observed offshore in the state of Washington, including great whites.
One five-meter-tall monster was spotted on the sand of Bunbury Beach, which is only an hour’s drive south of White Hills Beach.

Jane Wishaw reported that she was ready to enter the water when she spotted two sharks in the shallows.
She told Perth Now, “I was completely shocked when the sharks appeared out of nowhere as I was standing in calf-deep water about to dive and swim out to deeper water and head to the point.”
“It was truly pretty alarming as the sharks reached within 4-5 meters of the shoreline, clearly visible in the gin-clear water, before continuing along the beach and disappearing entirely into the seaweed.
We couldn’t see them, but we knew they were there because they were so well concealed. They afterwards resurfaced farther away.
