WATCH: Lifeguards save three sharks at Scottburgh beach

As if it was not enough for Scottburgh Beach lifeguards to have saved the life of a juvenile jackass penguin earlier this week, now lifeguards have also saved three dusky sharks which had been left in the Scottburgh beach tidal pool.

On Wednesday morning, fishermen caught three dusky sharks off the rocks at Scottburgh main beach and, instead of returning them to the ocean, brought them to the tidal pool.

Lifeguards took matters into their own hands and returned the sharks to the ocean.

Fortunately, Owen Kuyper was there to capture the moment.

Have a look at the video footage showing one of the sharks being returned to the ocean below.
