ATTACKED THE ANCHOR IN ANTALYA
The footage captured by amateur fisherman Savaş Güzel became a hot topic on social media. While Güzel was out at sea with his son, a 200-kilogram Mako shark attacked the boat. The shark damaged the boat's GPS device and also hit the bilge area. Recording the moments, Güzel, while showing the shark to his child in a panic, said, "It's about a 200-kilogram shark... It ruined my anchor. We had a similar incident before. It was something I never expected. Friends, it bit my virtual anchor, my GPS... Thankfully, it didn't do anything to us, but it's still here... We are three kilometers away from the shore," sharing the fear he experienced.
TWO SHARKS SPOTTED IN DATÇA
In the Datça district of Muğla, the sighting of two sharks near the shore created both surprise and unease among the citizens. The sharks were observed surfacing around the wooden pier located at the lower part of Datça Sevgi Yolu.
Believed to have approached the shore to hunt from the open sea, the sharks were recorded by nearby citizens using their mobile phones. The footage shows the two sharks gliding just below the water's surface, wandering in the area for a while before disappearing from sight.
CITIZENS FLED FROM THE PIER
After the incident, some citizens moved away from the pier, while some curious individuals continued to watch the sharks closely.
