Shark spotted along shoreline by UK country estate is same type that bit snorkeler

A blue shark has been spotted swimming within meters of the shoreline on a country estate in Cornwall - the same type that is suspected of biting a snorkeler late last month.

The victim sustained a leg injury when they were attacked in a rare case off the Cornish coast near Penzance, understood to be the first of its kind in 175 years.

Despite what happened, the Wildlife Trust stress a blue shark attack is not going to happen to an ordinary person enjoying the coast.
