The nearly 4-meter specimen was captured on video off the coast of the islands of Porquerol and Por-Cro in the department of Var.

Writes UNN with reference to Euronews and France 3.

At the beginning of November, near the islands of Porquerol and Port Cross in the department of Var on the Cote d’Azur, one of the fishermen noticed and filmed a 4-meter great white shark.

A video uploaded to Facebook shows the shark swimming alongside the boat, its fin sticking out of the water. She is accompanied by several fish.

For reference

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a species listed on the European Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as “vulnerable”.

The French Museum of Natural History in Paris and the Phocaean Shark Research Group (GPER) have confirmed that the shark in the video is a great white.

According to GPER, about forty individuals have been recorded in the Gulf of Lyons since 1600.

Despite its rarity, the great white shark is occasionally caught by accident, particularly due to its attacks on bluefin tuna.
