These marine scientists went to great lengths to save this endangered grey nurse shark off Byron Bay in Australia. After the shark was spotted with a hook lodged in its mouth divers were sent to look for the shark by the Sea World Research and Rescue team.
Marine scientists lassoed the shark around its body and brought it to the surface, where it was then placed on the boat and the hook removed. It took the team 25 minutes to remove the hook from the shark’s mouth as it was stuck in jaw cartilage.
