They caught a young great white shark in Porto Lafia Evia – Watch video

A fisherman found him tangled in his nets

Newsroom August 23 09:39

An unexpected incident occurred a few days ago in Porto Lafia in southern Evia, when a fisherman spotted a shark tangled in his net.

According to experts, it was clearly a juvenile great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias).

A related video has already been posted on social media, sparking intense interest and debate:

As boatfishing.gr reports, its distinctive features – such as its head shape, eyes and teeth – leave no doubt about the species’ identity. Although there are other shark species, such as the mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) or Lamia (Lamna Nasus), that may resemble the great white shark, they do not have the same characteristic teeth, which confirms the identification of the juvenile shark.
