First spotted Sunday near Sunset Beach, Honolulu in Hawaii, the shark has been swimming ever since.
The University of Florida reports that common signs of aggressive behavior in sharks are a hunched back, bent pectoral, rapid swimming, or zigzag movements.
The lifeguards closed the beach due to the presence of the shark.
The shark attack that occurred in San Francisco left an adolescent swimming for his life.
The teenager was in a boat fishing when the shark approached. It was also acting aggressively.
Douglas Johnson, spokesperson for the California Department of Parks and Recreation, explained. Bay Area News Group that a “great white shark is suspected because of the aggressive behavior.”
Shark biting into teen boat knocked the girl into water.
After escaping the shark and swimming 500 feet, the victim reached safety.
San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office notified locals via X (formerly Twitter) of the attack.
“Earlier today we were notified of aggressive behavior by sharks in the area of Pebble Beach just south of Pescadero in state jurisdiction beach. “A kayaker came close to being bitten by a shark but was thankfully unharmed,” read the tweet.
The beach was closed two days to ensure public safety, even though no injuries were reported.
Humans may be responsible for the increase in shark attacks over recent years.
Conservationist Forrest Galante told USA TodaySharks are still targeting people despite recent attacks.
Humans have changed their behaviour, are growing rapidly, and spending an increasing amount of time on the ocean.
Sharks do not change their behaviour, we do.
The shark expert explained that this “leads to more interactions and some of those interactions may be negative.”
