Diver Saves Endangered Shark

I always thought of sharks as bad things and wouldn't mind having less of them in this world. But this week some divers found an endangered nurse shark with a pole sticking out of its mouth. They called in a team of scientists who caught the shark, reached down its throat, and pulled out the pole. It turned out to be a gaff, or long hook used to pull sharks out of the water when fishing. They set it free and it swam back into the ocean and most likely will recover.
