Viral Video Demonstrates What You Do If You Are Approached By A Shark On The Carolina Coast
With more and more shark attacks being reported on the North and South Carolina coasts, this is some really great information. An aquatic expert demonstrates what you should do if you find yourself in the company of something that might be interested in having you for a meal.
This comes to mind as Labor Day weekend approaches and many of us are heading to the beach. I try my best these days to stay safely in my surf chair with my toes in the sand, especially after my unfortunate jellyfish encounter a few years back. But sometimes the call of the cool ocean (and the call of nature) ushers me in a little further. Sharks are coming in closer and closer; it is very possible to come in contact with one. After all, it is their neighborhood.
This TikTok video went viral and offered some very good information. If a shark is approaching, fight the urge to splash and run. It might really think you are prey. To learn more, get details right here from CNN Travel. Instead, slowly swim backwards, and if it comes to it, push its nose downwards to let it know you are the apex predator.
