Beachgoers have been left stunned after a rare six-foot shark was found washed up on a UK beach for the first time ever.

Mum-of-two Alisha Openshaw thought she had rescued the sea creature when she came across it in the shallows of her local beach in Hampshire and dragged it into deeper waters on Friday.

Though the 38-year-old said she watched it swim away, the shark has now been found dead back on the shore.

It has since been identified as a smalltooth sand tiger shark, a species which is classified as Vulnerable on the Red List of Threatened Species.
