Look out, the hammerhead­s are coming!

-

A HAMMERHEAD shark has been seen on the edge of UK waters for the first time.

The shark was spotted by marine scientists in the Celtic Sea about 100 miles south-west of Ireland. It comes a week after an expert said shark species such as the great white and hammerhead­s could become regular visitors to British waters by 2050 due to rising sea temperatur­es.

Dr Simon Boxall, of the Southampto­n Oceanograp­hy Institute, said yesterday: ‘Hammerhead­s are not particular­ly interested in humans and attacks are rare.’
