Hurghada shark captured

Описание: Hurghada shark captured

A tiger shark believed to have killed a Russian tourist in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada in June has been caught, taxidermied and will be displayed at a museum. The shark was caught by fishermen guided by local marine experts. It was a female, about three meters and 25 centimeters long, and weighed about 500 kilograms. The shark was pregnant when it was caught, carrying two pups.

The shark's capture came after the Russian tourist, Vladimir Popov, was attacked while swimming in the waters of the Dream Beach Sheraton resort. Popov was pulled from the water and died at a local hospital. The attack was the first fatal shark attack in the Red Sea in five years.

The capture of the shark has raised some concerns among conservationists. They fear that the shark was targeted in a retaliatory attack, and that this could lead to more shark attacks in the future. However, Egyptian authorities have said that the shark was caught in a legitimate fishing operation, and that it was not targeted specifically because of the attack.

The shark will now be displayed at the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Hurghada. It is hoped that the display will help to raise awareness of shark conservation and the importance of sharks to the marine ecosystem.
