A shark has been spotted off the North Yorkshire coast.
Crew on board the Hispaniola Pirate Ship, which runs tourist trips around the South Bay in Scarborough, saw the Porbeagle shark in the water on Tuesday, September 10.
They said the shark followed the boat through the South Bay.
The porbeagle shark typically lives in the cold and temperate waters of the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere.
Porbeagles typically eat bony fish, such as mackerel and herring. They're also known to occasionally eat squid.
