Shark Remains Stranded in Busan Canal After Second Rescue Attempt

A second effort to guide a shark stranded in a canal in Busan, South Korea, failed to free the animal, which has now been in the waterway for its third week. Rescuers had been using a large net to coax the shark toward the open sea, but after a two‑hour chase the operation was halted because the net risked becoming snagged on rocks. The team has left the net in place and is hoping the shark will eventually swim out on its own. The incident underscores the difficulties of wildlife rescue in busy urban waterways.
