A man came face to face with a gigantic shark and even managed to capture the entire incident on camera.
55-year-old John Moore was free-diving off the coast of Jupiter in Florida earlier this month when a massive female shark was spotted swimming among bull sharks.
The thing is that Moore encountered the shark and even managed to click images of the female sharks teeth up close.
Talking about the shark, he said:
She was an abnormally large female. Very likely pregnant and certainly hadn’t skipped any meals. She was a very dominant shark, confidently coming right up to me throughout our dive. Up close and personal inspection of the very impressive serrated teeth of a large female Bull shark. A fish had grabbed the chunk of bait and run toward me for cover, before getting scared and dropping the chunk. This set me up for a shot that’s even too close for my 20mm lens. Thanks for the setup to that Horse-eye Jack.
The man shared the images on Instagram, where they went viral.
Moore is known for regularly posting about the sharks that he encounters during his free dives in the area.
Now back to the shark.
Moore encountered bull sharks and they are one of the most dangerous sharks in the entire world.
Such sharks are known to hunt in tropical shorelines.
Bull sharks are known to live in warm and shallow waters around the world and are sometimes found in rivers.
Scary, right?
