Florida Man Pulls Shark out of Water for Photo

Some people will go to great lengths for an epic photo - and that's starting to get pretty dangerous for animals. Take a look at this video currently causing uproar on social media. A man on Palm Beach, Florida, sees a shark near the shore, and instead of staying away from the sharp-toothed predator, he drags it out of the water and starts posing with it.

The video was taken and posted online by WPTV reporter Ashleigh Walters. Eventually, another beachgoer helps release the shark back into the ocean, but it washes back to shore again.

Walters wrote on Facebook, "Shark was put farther into water after end of video. It did not resurface for several minutes." This footage surfaced just days after a similar incident sparked outrage online, when a small, long-nosed dolphin died in Argentina after people passed it around to take pictures with it.
