Tourist Father-Son Duo Rescues Stranded Great White Shark Off Australian Coast

An Australian father, Nash Core, and his 11-year-old son, Parker, joined local rescuers in helping a stranded great white shark return to deeper waters near Ardrossan, South Australia. The rescue, which lasted nearly an hour, was prompted by drone footage showing the shark struggling on a sand bank. Initially hesitant due to safety concerns, the father and son ultimately assisted as three local men used crab rakes to push the 10-foot shark back to its habitat. By the time the duo arrived, the locals had managed to move the shark, and Nash chose not to go further, believing it safer to let the animal return on its own. Wildlife experts noted that such shark strandings are rare but are receiving more attention due to increased sharing on social media. The rescuers expressed hope that their efforts would help the shark survive.
