Hammerhead shark in Florida caught on video circling paddleboarders
Fox News
Video recorded off St. Petersburg, Florida, shows a large hammerhead shark hunting for a tarpon and swimming shockingly close to humans who were paddleboarding.
In a social media post, the company said that the ocean predator was so preoccupied by the tarpon that it largely ignored the humans. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"Hammerhead Shark chasing tarpon by people at the beach in St Petersburg, Florida yesterday," the company wrote. "The shark passed under a couple paddleboarders and some of the tarpon were swimming really close to the shoreline and through people in an effort to avoid the shark." She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
