Busan shark returns to canal after rescue

Bukang-i the shark, which was guided out of a canal in Busan after 33 days stranded there, has returned to the waterway. The shark was seen swimming in the narrow canal Thursday morning, defying rescue efforts that had succeeded on the third attempt on October 21, according to Yonhap and KBS World. Korean outlets report the shark's return as a surprising twist after authorities, including the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, had celebrated guiding her back to the open sea.
