The shark found there measured about 10 feet. Residents encountered, captured, and gutted that huge fish. Researchers will carry out research using the shark’s stomach. They will try to determine what caused the recent surge in shark sightings. They are examining the inner parts to find a reason for the shark coming close to the Caribbean shore.
