Do you mean are sharks bigger off the Welsh coast? No, not at all, they are the same size as they are anywhere else in the world.

Wales has few sharks in it's waters as it's generally too cold for them- the main species it has is the Basking Shark, a harmless plankton-feeder which is not dangerous to humans. Porbeagles have been known to appear from time to time, and on rare occasions tiger sharks, but in the latter case, this is most unusual.

The last recorded sighting of a Great White off Wales was in 1976, when a juvenile male got stuck in the Sound of Cardigan Island and had to be rescued. However, that was during an exceptionally hot Summer, when species more used to warmer climes may have been tempted to venture further North due to the warmer seas. But this was a one-off- normally, dangerous sharks don't venture into Welsh waters.
