A five-year-old boy discovered a large dead shark while snorkeling at a beach in Follonica, Tuscany. The shark was approximately five meters long and weighed over 500 kilograms. It had washed ashore and was later removed from the beach by local authorities using a forklift after taking more than two hours to load it onto a boat. The species identified was a rare deep-sea shark known as the Bluntnose Sixgill Shark, which typically resides in deep waters and rarely comes into contact with humans. Experts noted that the shark appeared unusually well-preserved, showing no signs of decomposition. There were no reports of additional sharks in the area, and the incident does not suggest an increase in shark activity near Tuscany’s coastline.
