And then he added: “For a minute, many of us thought it might be a shark or a predatory event. But no, instead of the end of life, it was the beginning of a new one!”, indicating that the spots in the water alerted the witnesses, however, after a moment everyone realized the true reason for the blood.

Tiger shark approached a bather

The fear of all bathers is to find themselves, while enjoying the sea, with a shark, something that would turn out very badly and that on several occasions has been recorded by other tourists who with a camera in hand have been able to record the attack of these animals on some humans.

Australia is a country where the presence of sharks near the beaches is very common and this has been noticed by photographer Sam Wood, who shares images of these animals and other seascapes on his social media profile.

Wood lives in Perth, Australia, and on one of his last outings to the beach he noticed how a tiger shark prowled the shore and got too close to a bather who only noticed when the animal was already a few meters from her. .

According to the photographer’s publication, the woman had no other option than to stay still and when she could she tried to move; there the shark turned around and undertook another course.

Her drone camera clearly recorded the scene that could have ended tragically as the woman enjoyed the water at Hillary’s Dog Beach.

“Unknowingly, many people were in the water, as you can see in this video, the tiger shark is getting very close to this woman, the shark was just curious. and, after inspecting it a bit more closely, it shows no interest and swims away,” the photographer said in his post.

Likewise, as a lover of these animals, in his commentary he sought not only to show the scene, but also to demystify what is said about the tiger shark, a predator by nature.

“Unfortunately, sharks get such a bad rap because of their rare attacks. When in reality we swim with them every day without knowing it”, he explained. Wood also assured that the fact of realizing these situations commits him to notify the corresponding authorities in a timely manner to avoid tragedies.

“As soon as I realized that people were still in the water after seeing the tiger shark, I immediately called Surf Life Savers to let them know and I ran across the beach from where I was filming (800 meters away) to let everyone know.” Wood explained in his post.
