Residents early this morning discovered what they say is a Mako Shark on Darkwood Beach this morning.
The animal was already dead when residents discovered it.
It is not known how the shark ended up there.
The main theory at his time is that it was washed ashore.
The discovery has already lead to social media comments of people who are fearful to swim there.
According to
It is a fast speed-swimming shark that has been called “the peregrine falcon of the sharks” in allusion to the fastest bird in the world.
It is considered an animal dangerous to humans because of the speed which can attack and its ability to jump into the fishing boats.

The last part is scary no more beach for me
Please don’t be scared. The same SHARKS-WORLD quoted in the article goes on to say:
“It does not represent a grave danger to humans since it lives far from the coast.”
Bigger Sharks make up parliament,,,,and you are not afraid to venture near them??
Long Fin Mako..
speculations are that some one planted it there because they’are trying to get rid of the water park…real badmind and jealous if that’s the case.
A lot of ignorance in this article. They are not dangerous to humans. We are to them.
