- 8 years ago
Footage has emerged of a group of divers finding a dying great white shark washed up on a beach in South Africa.
The footage, shot this summer on Danger Point Beach, shows the male shark lying on his side with a very bloated stomach.
The divers tried to help it back into the sea without success.
"The cause of death is uncertain," the filmer wrote online.
He explained that there is an estimated population of 350 and 530 sharks in the South African waters and that scientists "are expecting their extinction in the next 10 years".
