Oz man saves rare shark

Sydney, July 18: A veterinarian in Australia plunged his arm up to his shoulder into the throat of a rare shark to save the animal after it swallowed a grappling hook. David Blyde reached between the jaws of the 3-metre gray nurse shark to dislodge the hook, which was stuck in the animal's digestive tract, leaving a long metal handle sticking from its mouth. The gray nurse shark is generally much smaller than the more aggressive great white.
