A nearly 4m long tiger shark was seen near swimmers in the turquoise water of a beach in Perth, Australia on December 28, 2022. Video captured by a drone shows the shark heading while straight towards a woman, at the very edge of the beach, before turning around at the last moment, reports Fox News relayed by

Geo

.

The beautiful and terrifying scene was filmed by an Australian photographer who shared the video on his Instagram account, Wanderlust Flyer.

The images have already been viewed more than 26,000 times, not counting reruns by other media and platforms.

Twenty attacks only per year

After filming the scene, the drone pilot alerted rescuers and ran onto the beach to warn swimmers of the danger and get them out of the water.

A man in a kayak would even have passed over the shark without realizing it during his exit in the water.

"The shark was just curious," says the author of the images in his Instagram post.

“Sharks unfortunately have a bad reputation, due to rare attacks.

In fact, we probably swim with them every day without knowing it.

We love our sharks.

The tiger shark is still one of the most dangerous species for humans, along with the white shark and the bulldog shark, specifies Geo.

Attacks remain extremely rare, the sharks preferring to attack their usual, well-known prey, than strange and new victims such as those we represent.
