A huge shark circles a fisherman’s boat near Cornwall

A huge shark circled a fisherman’s tiny boat a mile off the coast of Cornwall when he spotted a dorsal fin in the water. Oban Jones, a 21-year-old fisherman filmed the encounter of the 6ft Porbeagle shark zipped around his boat.

Sharks are known to attack humans when they are confused or curious. Also, 12 out of 300 species of sharks actually kill humans. Footage shared by him shows the huge shark swimming inquisitively around him, just below the surface of the water.

In the clip, he says: “Well, I don’t know what to say right now, but that right there is a big shark and I’m in a very, very small boat. Wow, Porbeagle shark, north coast of Cornwall, that’s amazing. I don’t know if I should be terrified or feeling very lucky to see this.”
