A group of surfers helped rescued what is believed to be a young great white shark over the weekend.The baby shark washed ashore near the Venice Pier, a popular fishing spot, Saturday with a fish hook in its mouth.
Surfers in the area came to the shark’s rescue, removing the hook from its mouth and dragging it back into the ocean. A bystander caught the rescue on tape.
It is unknown if the shark survived.
Scientists say the shores off the Southern California coast are populated with juvenile great white sharks who feed on area marine life.
