Tourists received the show of a lifetime when a great white shark swam upside down near their boat off the coast of Australia.
Calypso Star Charters, a diving company based in Port Lincoln, Australia, uploaded footage of the weird encounter on Facebook. According to the post, great white sharks typically don’t engage in “backstroke” movements.
“It swam on its back for several seconds as depicted in the video but the shark was in the vicinity of our dive cage for a couple of hours much to the delight of our guests,” a Calypso Star Charters spokesperson told Fox News.
The female great white shark, which was about 12 feet in length and didn’t have a tag, swam away after showing off its moves to the shark-diving group.
Last week, a video of a 17-foot great white shark biting and rattling a diving cage went viral on Facebook. The footage, which was captured by a diver, shows the beautiful creature approaching the enclosure and shaking it. The great white shark is reportedly named “Bullet” and she likes to spend time off the coast of Mexico.
