A beach in Florida had to be closed off when a group of bull sharks was spotted swimming close to shore. Lifeguards were forced to evacuate the area as the group of around six bull sharks moved as close as 3m from South Walton beach.
Hundreds of swimmers had to leave the water, while lifeguards used jet skis to herd the sharks to deeper water. The sharks, some estimated to be as long as 3m, stayed for two hours before eventually moving on.
