mrmoshe Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Swimming with sharks in Manly rock pool 29jul06 A PORT jackson shark had to be rescued from the swimming pool at Fairy Bower by staff from Oceanworld Manly. It is thought the shark had been caught by a fisherman and placed in the pool as a practical joke. An Oceanworld staffer said it was not unusual for port jackson sharks to be used for such pranks because they were harmless. The staffer said the shark was unharmed and was in good condition. He said NSW Fisheries was usually called upon to deal with sharks in pools but in this case Oceanworld keeper Matt Jensen was close at hand and able to come to the shark's rescue. The shark was released into the wild after its short sojourn in the Fairy Bower pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see it was a happy outcome for the poor defenceless PJ. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
