Shark Stranded in Busan Waterway Becomes Tourist Sensation

A huge shark trapped in a narrow waterway in the South Korean coastal city of Busan has become an unlikely tourist attraction.

The park surrounding the waterway recorded more than 600,000 visits over ten days, as the stranded animal drew widespread interest.

The unusual setting has turned the shark into a local spectacle: a large marine animal confined to a narrow channel in a busy coastal city.

Details of how the shark entered the waterway, its condition and any plans to return it to open water were not provided.
