A huge great white shark washed up on a beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Wednesday.
The Orleans police department shared photos from Nauset Beach, adding that a tow truck was called to remove the animal, with another officer following behind.
“You really never know what kind of call you’ll respond to on any given shift,” police said in the statement, adding: “At least Sgt Elliott only needed to follow the tow truck and didn’t have to wrestle an unruly great white.”
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy charity confirmed the shark was known as Koala and had first been identified by the organisation in 2022.
