Brave Beachgoer Returns Rockaway Thresher Shark Back To Ocean
To beachgoers fright, a thresher shark washed ashore at Rockaway Beach on Monday. August 26th.
A video shared to X shows the shark struggling on the shoreline to get back in the water.
Thresher sharks are known for their dangerously long tails that attack prey with a whip-like motion to stun them. According to the post, a beachgoer named Gio was just one of the seemingly fearless people who jumped in the water to aid the shark in its return to the deep waters.
It appears to be quieter than years past with shark sightings along NYC shores, with numerous efforts working to improve swimmer safety such as shark drones. However, red flags were signaled this past July after two shark sightings (presumably the same creature) at Rockaway Beach.
