Shark Special
For today's post we thought it would be great to take a closer look at the majestic Sharks that patrol our welsh shores.
SUP sweating (wobble wobble)? No need to be, according to Shark Trust, there have been no unprovoked Shark attacks in Welsh waters since records began way back in 1847.
So which sharks are in the local sea, well believe it or not there's over 40 different species of Shark, however, only around 21 of these can be found all year round. The most common Shark is the Porbeagle, however, Blue sharks visit for vacations each year along with Basking Sharks which have been spotted in Wales recently!
