Shark stuck for a month in South Korean canal guided to freedom

A shark that had been trapped for more than a month in a canal in the port city of Busan in South Korea has been guided back out to sea.

The shark became a viral sensation, attracting over 1.6 million visitors to the area.

After two failed rescue attempts, South Korean officials used a floating platform to herd the 3-metre-long female dusky shark, along the narrow canal and out of the port.
