    SHARK SAVED
    live.firstnews.co.uk

    A YOUNG great white shark that washed up on a


    beach in Sydney has been released back into the wild.
    The 1.8-metre shark was nicknamed Fluy, after he was
    found washed up on Manly Beach. He was taken to a nearby
    saltwater pool to rest, before spending the night at Manly Sea
    Life Sanctuary, where he was joined overnight by divers, to
    prevent him from bumping into the walls. The shark was
    later released from a boat 4km o Sydney's coast.
    It's a mystery why Fluy tried to beach himself, but experts
    say they have high hopes for the shark's survival now that he's
    back in the ocean.
