Two sharks were spotted patrolling Ibiza beaches.
Sharks have been sighted swimming near a popular Spanish tourist destination as people enjoy the 41-degree temperatures.
On Monday, tourists captured a blue shark next to rocks at Cala des Moro, a cove in Ibiza’s metropolitan region.
A second one was shot yesterday in the ocean off Sa Caleta, a horseshoe-shaped bay dotted with fishermen’s sheds and a popular swimming site for people on the island’s south west coast.
One of those who witnessed it, Somer Frankland, thought it was a reef shark that got caught on a fishing line since it was swimming in circles.
It was then observed returning to sea.
On Sunday morning, she posted on a residents’ Facebook page, “There’s a shark swimming around in circles right out from Sa Caleta.”
Around two metres long, it appears to be a harmless reef shark, but its movement shows it is tangled in a fishing line. He’s just going around and around in circles.
“He’s moved out a little further now, so I don’t think he’s trapped on a rope,” she later added, claiming it was nearly seven feet long.
“There are no reef sharks in Ibiza, only blue sharks, makos, and very seldom white sharks,” one commenter said.
The other shark filmed last week was expected to have a head wound, according to police and environmental officials.
