Dramatic video shows massive shark rescued after becoming stranded on Florida beach

A group of men successfully helped a mako shark back into the water at a beach in Florida, on September 14, despite the distressed marine predator lashing out.

The surreal scene recorded by Tina Fey on Pensacola Beach shows her husband, Josh, and two other men pulling the shark by its caudal fins towards the sea.

As the the shark squirms and nearly mauls them, Fey can be heard yelling to her husband, “Babe it’s too dangerous, don’t be doing that!”

The group, however, recoups and eventually pulls the shark into the water. The predator can be seen swimming away after a few seconds of recuperation.

Fey told Storyful that she and Josh got married on Pensacola Beach a year earlier and had come down once more to celebrate their first anniversary. She said that she was swimming when her husband, “yelled at me to get out of the water,” upon spotting the shark, which swam onto the shore at fast speed and beached itself.

“After a few seconds of seeing it struggle to get back in the water, my husband took charge to try to help it … after a few attempts and two others jumping in to help, they managed to get it back into the water”, Fey said.

Literal representation of "We will treat you better than your forefathers would have treated us."

"Mako sharks are open water sharks, never going into shallows". Ok, no.

[stephenshambley]

that's the first thing I said mako, but that fool immediately says great white. that's a pretty big mako I believe

[talkaboutwacky]

These guys have hearts of gold. I wonder if the shark thinks about this incident

[ResidentOfTheAbyss]

Look at this heinous act of kindness caused by Whyte supremacy!

[VicenzoV]

Give these guys credit, I would never get close to a foul beast like that. Especially when she starts yelling😵😵😵

[michaelvaladez]

So glad that poor shark got saved, even though I'm not into animals much I still can't stand seeing them suffer.

[mrphatmunkeyspew]

Do they get a pass from the shark next time they are swimming ?

[chesi___]

Beach day is ruined after that for sure, time for volleyball or beach tennis 😂

[brettmanning]

I think i just saw that same shark today at blue mountain beach cruising 3 feet from shore!

Shark: your quality will be known among your enemies, before ever you meet them

[DJmicaiah]

It was a Mako shark and sharks beach themselves when they are dying. It died later. I saw the second video and didn’t even make it out to deeper water

[slimjim]

Didn’t this same shark die a few miles away?

[nedmerrill]

Dufos yells its a great white. Should have let the shark take him.

[Raoul]

Ok lets get this straight..fish dont just get stranded on the beach..they intentionally swim to shore when they are dying..not wanting to be eaten alive they choose to beach THEMSELVES..stop doing this..learn about the environment before you decide to mess with it...or try reading a book sometime
