A shark video that is currently circulating on social media is causing excitement. The pictures are said to have been taken a few days ago in a bay in the Italian municipality of Soverato in the province of Calabria. The video shows how a shark swims to the beach. When a person approaches the animal, it swims away. At this time, people were said not to have been in the water.

According to Italian media reports, the animal is a blue shark. According to experts, the blue shark is considered potentially dangerous for humans. However, although there are reports of blue sharks attacking people or boats, such attacks are rare. The dangerous predatory fish are mostly in the high seas and generally do not swim to coastal areas.

A shark was sighted off the Croatian coast last June. According to media reports, it was said to have been a blue shark even then. But the experts were not entirely in agreement. According to Michael Mitic, director of the House of the Sea in Vienna, the shark spotted off the coast in Makarska was “certainly not a blue shark”. The expert believed that it was a mako shark, also called mako.
