It's the first sighting of this particular shark in 20-years

It seems the warmer Summer waters have been attracting some scary house guests to Irish shores.

After a Porbeagle Shark was found off Mullaghmore beach, Sligo last week.

The Porbeagle Shark rarely ventures into shallow waters, evidenced by the fact that it's the first species caught and released in the bay of Mullaghmore for almost 20 years.

Thankfully, there's only a few recorded shark attacks involving the Porbeagle.

So Surfers and Swimmers needn't panic just yet.

Let's just hope more menacing species don't follow the Porbeagle's lead!
