It’s not unusual to see a whale off the coast of Florida, but it can be surprising to see one in the state’s inland waters. Such a predator appeared in a small lake near Miami, causing concern for residents and tourists.
As reported by local media, the semetra shark was last seen on Thursday morning. He was swimming in North Lake Reservoir in the Hollywood area of Miami Beach. This small lake connects to the ocean, so there is probably a lot of wildlife there. The reservoir is also a popular destination for inland sailing and is home to luxury estates.
The sighting of the whale has worried residents and tourists who claim that the predator has been there for several days. Some report that the shark protrudes its head, revealing its triangular teeth. – He is not going anywhere. It’s always here, they say.
“There’s something about him”
According to the researchers, it is likely to be a mako, also known as the Atlantic mako, which is found in the waters of all oceans, but is not seen near the shore or near buildings.
“This is very unusual,” said oceanographer Mahmoud Shivji. “If it’s a mako shark, there’s something wrong with it,” he said.
Specialists try to assess the health status of animals. Police urged caution when using Florida’s interior roads and reminded people not to approach or provoke wildlife.
