Let’s face it.
Australia is the home of some of nature’s spookiest — and dangerous — creatures.
We’re talking snakes, spiders, and even crocodiles.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that a massive great white shark decided to almost make a group of boaters its lunch… and that it was all caught on camera.
Check this out.
Per a New York Post story, Jayden Grace was fishing at Mooloolaba off the Sunshine Coast on Sunday when the shark began circling his boat.
“That is huge,” Grace can be heard saying in the video.
The video shows the large shark circling the boat, while his friend is trying to reel in a fish from the other side of the boat.
After a minute or so of circling the boat, the great white shark turns its sights on the boat, trying to take a chunk out of the side.
“Woah! Woah! Woah! He just bit my boat!” Grace yells.
“I think it’s time to leave.”
Footage shows the moment the shark comes out of the water and attempts to bite into the boat, before turning and splashing its tail out of the water and swimming back into the sea.
“That’s what the great white did to my boat,” Grace said.
“Holy f—k, he f—king smashed me.”
Grace described the experience as unforgettable in a post to Facebook.
“Well that’s something I’ll never forget! By far the biggest shark I’ve seen in my life! Easy 5m great white shark has a little taste test of the renegade,” he wrote.
Watch the up close and personal encounter for yourself. It’s like a scene straight out of “Jaws”!
