西班牙馬略卡島南部海岸發現罕見大白鯊

For the first time in more than 40 years, a great white shark has been recorded swimming off the Spanish Mediterranean island of Majorca.

日前，一隻大白鯊被拍攝到在位於地中海的西班牙馬略卡島上附近遊動，這是該水域40多年來第一次出現大白鯊。

A wildlife conservation group captured footage of the shark wandering around the Cabrera archipelago.

一個野生動物保護組織抓拍到了這隻在卡布雷拉羣島周圍遊蕩的鯊魚的鏡頭。

Great whites can weigh up to two tonnes, grow to lengths of 20ft (6m) and reach speeds of 40km/h (25mph).

大白鯊可以重達2噸，長度可達20英尺（6米），速度可達40公里/小時（25英里/小時）。

"The presence of great white sharks in Spanish waters has been a constant rumour," biologist and documentary maker Fernando López-Mirones told Efe news agency. "However, we've been unable to document their presence for many years."

生物學家、紀錄片製作人費爾南多·洛佩茲-米羅內斯向埃菲新聞社透露：“一直有傳聞說西班牙水域出現了大白鯊。但是，我們多年來一直無法記錄它們的存在。”

Scientists with Spanish conservation group Alnitak recorded the shark for over an hour.

西班牙保育組織Alnitak的科學家們用了一個多小時對這隻鯊魚進行了記錄。

"We watched the shark up close for 70 minutes around 3m (10ft) from the boat," Mr López-Mirones told Spanish newspaper El País.

洛佩茲-米羅內斯在接受西班牙《國家報》採訪時表示：“我們近距離觀察這隻鯊魚長達70分鐘，它就在距離船隻3米（10英尺）的地方遊動。”

According to a documentary from 2007, 27 great whites were caught by fishermen around the Balearic Islands between 1920 and 1976.

根據2007年的一部紀錄片介紹，在1920年至1976年期間，巴利阿里羣島附近的漁民共捕獲了27只大白鯊。
