Celebrity shark guided out of South Korea canal refuses to swim out to sea
A famed dusky shark in South Korea is still lingering near a canal that it was guided out of on Wednesday.
The shark, nicknamed Bukangi, became an unlikely sensation after it was spotted swimming in a canal in the south-eastern port city of Busan last month. For weeks, rescuers tried in vain to get it back to the open sea using large nets.
On Thursday, authorities said they had reinforced barriers to prevent Bukangi from returning. But it has yet to swim out into the open sea, and has been circling back repeatedly to the mouth of the waterway.
