Watch: Tiger shark hunts inches from beach in 'on-your-toes' moment

0

Florida Keys Travel this week shared dramatic footage showing a tiger shark chasing a turtle to the beach as something to ponder the “next time you think about visiting the Florida Keys.”

The company added: “The wild beauty of the ocean always keeps you on your toes in paradise.”

While tiger sharks can be encountered off Florida, the footage was captured last January off Western Australia. Photographer Ruth Gaw told FTW Outdoors that the shark measured 8 feet and that the hunt was unsuccessful.

“The turtle got away, and the shark didn’t stay much longer,” Gaw said. “A large stingray also got chased in, but I had stopped recording when it happened.”

Tiger sharks, which can measure to about 18 feet, are found in tropical and temperate waters around the world.

From the Florida Museum: “Tiger sharks are second only to the white shark in terms of the number of reported attacks on humans.

“Tiger sharks are often curious and unaggressive when encountered yet are one of the three species most commonly implicated in shark attacks and fatalities and should be treated with extreme caution and a great deal of respect.”
