Endangered three-metre dusky shark Bukang-i trapped in Busan canal
Key points
- A three-metre female dusky shark named Bukang-i is trapped in an artificial canal in Busan, South Korea since mid-September.
- Experts warn the shark could have only about two weeks to live due to exhaustion, starvation, and cooling waters.
- Bukang-i has attracted over one million visitors but shows distress and injuries from repeatedly hitting canal walls.
- Two rescue attempts using water jets and nets failed as the shark evaded or nets snagged.
- A third multi-agency rescue operation with pontoon nets, divers, and underwater drones is planned for Wednesday.
