It’s not a KILLER shark. It appears to be a blue shark. Mostly docile and harmless. And I swear to God if it’s not released back into the sea I’m throwing hands.

[daddycool]

[sootyginger]

The shark should be guided back out to see. Respect these beautiful animals.

[shelleysilver]

I hope it’s safe.
And put back out to the main sea, where it belongs.

You shouldn't call them killer sharks. Many swimmers and surfers will come in close contact with sharks and never even notice. They ignore more often than they attack

The oceans are DYING from pollution man and over fishing.. help the animals that call the ocean their home💯

Poor little shark looks like it got lost. I hope it's been taken out to sea to find mum and dad otherwise they might come inshore

I hope they released it further out at sea

[georgetsapekis]

People calling this baby shark "killer" are obviously ignorant of what that would actually look like.

0:14 "Shark swimming in the ocean, call the police and arrest that shark."

[selina]

This is so annoying, everyone that goes in the ocean is stepping into their home, stop saying killer shark!! What would you do if someone came into your home… save the ocean and all creatures that live there!!

Alternate headline: "Annoyed grumpy shark chases youngsters out of his front lawn."

Small shark just having a casual stroll is attacked by humans !!!

Leave the thing alone it’s causing no harm .!

[bekahelder]

[angloaust]

[TheDustypoptart]

Swam right past my parents and went to hang out by the shore.
