Images taken on Muizenberg beach, Cape Town, show a group of fishermen struggling to release a huge shark - the Bronze Whaler, into the sea. The potentially deadly predator which measured a huge eight-foot-long and weighed approximately 500 pounds, was caught up in a traditional seine net and they wanted to release it back into the sea.

 South Africa is home to more than 90 species of shark, including the Great White
