Pregnant bull sharks are 3m long and bite on Australian rivers

A group of experts caught the big child swimming to the Manning River to breed.

Adam Maddalena, an expert in catching sharks and tracking cards, pulled ashore a pregnant woman of about three meters long in the River Manning, New South Wales, Australia, the International Business Times yesterday reported.

During the breeding season, dozens of female sharks move to Manning River to give birth. However, Maddalena was still amazed at the large size of the animal. This is the biggest shark he caught during his time working in this area.

Maddalena usually only targeted small sharks to tag and drop them to the sea. At first, he thought the fish was just the right size, but when he pulled it up, he realized it was much bigger than expected.

"The big animal happened to arrive just in time for us to drop the bait. I was really shocked. It took me about 45 minutes to pull the fish close enough, grab the tail and tie the strings," Maddalena recounted. He said, the shark is very healthy and ready to give birth.

Maddalena and her colleagues then released the animal and dropped it back into the river. " We make sure to put the fish in the deep water so it doesn't have to be under any pressure , " he said.
