A huge great white shark measuring about 13 feet long washed ashore on Kingscliff Beach in New South Wales, Australia, after being seen struggling in the shallows.
This rare event shocked beachgoers as great white sharks typically do not get stranded ashore.
The shark was first spotted swimming close to shore before eventually washing up, believed to be due to illness or injury causing disorientation.
Despite their aggressive reputation, great white sharks rarely attack humans, with this species having a vulnerable conservation status due to threats like trophy fishing.
The incident drew attention as beachings are uncommon for shark species, making it a unique and surprising sight for those present.
