White Shark In The Mediterraneanff

22 October 2009 Spain



By Atuna


A white shark managed to make its way into a tuna farm in Spanish waters last week.

The 4,5 meter-long white shark made a hole in one of the tuna farms located off the Coast of Murcia and swam its way into the pen. Once inside it started attacking and eating the Bluefin tuna. The shark was caught and killed.

Great white sharks live in almost all coastal and offshore waters which have a water temperature of between 12 Â°C (54 Â°F) and 24 Â°C (75 Â°F), but they have been found in waters down to 12 C, such as the Mediterranean Sea.
