Bondi Beach is one of Sydney, Australia\u2019s busiest and most famous beaches. What many of the swimmers and surfers don\u2019t know is that Nelly swims underneath them!\"dronesharkapp\"<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Nelly, the 2 metre male grey nurse shark, is a regular at Sydney\u2019s famous Bondi Beach. Nelly has been lurking underneath unsuspecting surfers and swimmers for years, hunting for masses of fish off the coastline, but there is something extra special about Nelly the Nurse Shark.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/pre>\n
Nelly Has Suspected Scoliosis<\/b><\/p>\n
Nelly, the shark named by the team from @DroneSharkApp who take drone footage of marine life in Bondi, seemingly has a double scoliosis curve. The shark\u2019s right pectoral fin sits underneath the shark\u2019s body (as seen in the video below). Luckily, this doesn\u2019t stop Nelly from living a full life of hunting the run of salmon across the New South Wales coastline and occasionally giving the unsuspecting swimmers and surfers a fright! Look out for Nelly at your next swim at Bondi.<\/span><\/p>\n
About Nurse Sharks<\/b><\/p>\n
Nurse sharks, often regarded as the gentle giants of the ocean, are docile creatures, characterised by their sleek grey bodies and distinctive barbels. They are typically found in shallow, tropical waters, occasionally appearing in Sydney\u2019s warmer months. Despite their intimidating appearance, nurse sharks pose little threat to humans, preferring a diet of crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
