![Story from Jam Press (Giant Shark UK) Pictured: The giant basking shark being removed from Maidens Beach. VIDEO: Horrific moment gigantic 24ft SHARK washes up on UK beach A giant shark has been spotted washed up on a UK beach ââ¬âàleaving beachgoers in shock. The basking shark, sometimes known as a ââ¬ÅToothless Bruce,ââ¬Â is the second largest fish in our oceans. At first, it was thought to be a whale, until Yolanda McCall, from Ayrshire, Scotland, contacted British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDLMR) and Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme (SMASS) teams. The shark, which measures a whopping 24ft, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene on Maidens Beach on Sunday evening (30 June 2024). ââ¬ÅIt was tangled in a long loop of rope, in its mouth and caught around its tail,ââ¬Â Yolanda told What's The Jam. ââ¬ÅThe creature was bobbing around in the water and we couldn't tell if it was dead or alive. ââ¬ÅI wanted to try to help it, if it was alive and floundering, so I put on a wetsuit and got in the water to check. ââ¬ÅSadly it was dead, but it looked very complete, a recent death. ââ¬ÅMaybe it got tired trying to free itself.ââ¬Â Officials, including the coastguard, identified the animal as a basking shark. She added: ââ¬ÅAfter the tide went out, we could see the full beautiful big creature. ââ¬Å[Itââ¬â¢s] very sad.ââ¬Â ENDS EDITORââ¬â¢S NOTES: Video Usage Licence: (EXCLUSIVE) We have obtained an exclusive licence from the copyright holder.
