Images show animal caught on the coast from São Paulo. Here at Boatos.org, several debunked stories end up gaining a new outfit and transforming into new versions of the same nonsense. And it happens more often than you think, causing certain rumors to circulate for longer and boost the work of “fake hunters news”. Today's story is a beautiful example of this situation. According to a publication that has been successful on social media, a shark of around 2.5 meters would have been captured in Mongaguá (SP) on January 12, 2020. Also according to the post, two young people who disappeared in Praia Grande (SP), on January 10, 2020, they would have fallen victim to the animal. The publication indicates that the remains of the young people were found inside the shark. Check it out: _White Shark captured in the region of Mongagua the average great white shark about 2m is half and was caught by fishermen last Monday 12/01. Confirmed that 2 teenagers disappeared in Praia Grande on Saturday 10/01, to everyone's surprise, the boys' remains were inside the shark's stomach. The great killers of the ocean are invading the Brazilian coasts, and this is not the first time that sharks have been seen in region ._ ## White shark was captured in Mongaguá (SP) after devouring two young people in Praia Grande (SP)? The information left many residents of the coast of São Paulo afraid. But it will be that this story that a great white shark had devoured two young people from Praia Grande (SP) and then being killed in Mongaguá (SP) is it real? The answer is no! Let's get to the details! A quick read of the publication was enough to cause distrust. This is because it has several characteristics of online rumors, such as the vague nature (the post does not even mention the names of the young people or gives more details about the capture of the animal), alarmist, the errors of Portuguese and the lack of reliable sources. It is worth mentioning that, if the story If it were real, it would be an unusual situation and would certainly be reported. We then decided to look for more details about the story and discovered that a very similar case has already been denied by our team. At the time, the Boatos.org team debunked the story that said that a white shark he allegedly devoured two young people and killed them by fishermen in Maranhão. By comparing the images, we also discovered that the photos used in the story of today they are the same ones that were used in the story about the great white shark in Maranhão. In reality, the images do not show a white shark dead in Mongaguá (SP), but rather a tiger shark captured in the Bahamas, in September 2010. The animal was reportedly caught by two men who noticed behavior strange in the animal. The shark reportedly vomited up a human foot. When taking the animal to the police, the officers cut the shark's belly and discovered the remains of a person. After analysis, the police identified the man's identity. It was the sailor Judson Newton, from 43 years old, who reportedly disappeared after his boat sank in the region. In short: the story that says that a great white shark devoured two young people from Praia Grande (SP) and then captured in Mongaguá (SP) is false! THE story is very similar to another case already denied by the Boatos.org. Furthermore, the images used in the publication are from a case recorded in the Bahamas in 2010. The tiger shark actually devoured a sailor from the region. In other words, the story is just hearsay. Don't share! P.S.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
