This beautiful large subadult female (measured with stereo cameras @ 4.17m) preferred to cruise up at the surface, while other sharks we experience seem to hug the ocean floor and are seen better with our deep submersible cage.

Great white shark 'kicked by group' at Orewa Beach, Auckland

Police received a report that people were "kicking" the protected shark when it became stranded.

A great white shark that died on an Auckland beach was netted on purpose and once on land repeatedly kicked, it has been claimed.

A large crowd gathered around the shark shortly after 4pm on Thursday after it appeared to be stranded in the shallow water at Orewa Beach, on Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast.

Video captured by a concerned onlooker showed a lifeguard and one other man grab the shark by its tail and pull it into deeper water, however the shark returned to shore where it was confirmed dead.

“Police and [the Department of Conservation] arrived on the scene as other beachgoers attempted to pull the shark back into the water.

"The group of men [who caught the shark and brought it to shore] gave false details to police and joined the larger group.”

It is illegal to take or harm great white sharks in New Zealand’s waters. If caught, offenders face fines of up to $250,000 and six months imprisonment.

Police are currently investigating.
