South Korea makes third bid to guide shark out to sea

# South Korean authorities are making a third attempt to guide a shark nicknamed Bukangi back to the open sea after it became trapped in a canal in the port city of Busan more than a month ago. The three-metre dusky shark has attracted more than 1.6-million visitors. Earlier rescue attempts failed, and officials are concerned that falling water temperatures could threaten its survival. The latest operation has brought the shark close to the canal exit, but it has yet to return to the sea.
