▲ The shark 'Bukang-i,' which was guided out of the artificial waterway at the Busan North Port Waterfront Park through a third guidance operation yesterday, re-enters and swims inside the barrier on the morning of October 22.
It has been confirmed that the dusky shark "Bukang-i," which had left the waterway at the Busan North Port Waterfront Park, has crossed the first barrier, the "pontoon," and re-entered the waterway.
Bukang-i was moved out of the waterway around 6:00 p.m. yesterday (October 21) following the authorities' third guidance operation, but it has been continuously circling near the entrance of the waterway this morning (October 22).
Around 11:00 p.m. yesterday, it was spotted entering the inside of the pontoon, a floating facility installed as the first barrier to prevent the shark from re-entering the waterway.
The authorities had attempted to prevent Bukang-i from returning to the inner part of the waterway by fixing nets to this structure, which is about 3 to 4 meters wide.
However, Bukang-i passed through this structure and re-entered the inner waterway.
However, for Bukang-i to return to the waterway between the 4th and 5th pedestrian bridges where it previously stayed, it must pass through two more net barriers marked by yellow buoys.
Currently, the area where Bukang-i is staying is a zone measuring approximately 30 meters by 30 meters between the first barrier (the pontoon) and the second net.
Bukang-i has been repeatedly circling this narrow space and revealing itself above the water's surface.
