South Korean authorities have begun a third attempt to guide Bukangi, an endangered female dusky shark, from a canal in Busan into the open sea, India Global Review reported on October 21. The 3-metre shark has been trapped for more than a month.
Bukangi reportedly sustained minor injuries from contact with the canal walls. Officials are concerned about its health because it has shown no signs of feeding and temperatures are expected to fall.
The shark has also become a major public attraction: more than 1.6 million people had visited the waterfront park by October 20, according to the report.
