Two siblings have told of their shock after they discovered a living shark - on a British beach.<br /><br />Samantha, 20, and Jared Farr, 18, were walking on Cleveleys beach near Blackpool, Lancs, when they spotted a catshark.<br /><br />Catsharks are normally five to seven cm long with curly tendrils coming from their corners and can be common to see in the UK.<br /><br />Jared and Samantha first thought the shark was actually dead - but then realised it was actually alive when it started 'squishing its tail.'<br /><br />Shocking footage shows the sibling duo trying to help the animal back into the water, which Samantha described as a 'crazy experience.'<br /><br />She said: "We were only walking for a few minutes when I saw the catshark but we thought it was dead at first because it was stranded. <br /><br />"We moved the sand a little bit to see if it would open its eyes and then it started squishing it's tale and we were like 'oh my God - this guy is alive.<br /><br />"We both then tried to move the water and the tide started suddenly coming in quite rapidly. <br /><br />"As soon as the tide came in, it started flapping around and he proper swam away. <br /><br />"It was such a crazy experience."<br /><br />Samantha, who goes to university in Carlisle, says dead catsharks are often washed up onto the beach and added it's 'crazy' she's been able to see a living one.<br /><br />She said: "You see them all the time but they are always washed up and dead. <br /><br />"We didn't know if it was an eel or a catfish but then we searched online and realised it was a catshark. <br /><br />"It was crazy and just quite funny."
