So yes, seeing a shark in the ocean is like seeing a bird in a tree; it's their natural habitat, and we really shouldn't be surprised when one breaks the water and gives us a little scare.

The difference is, sharks bring a level of fear with them that a bird in a tree doesn't, and we're fascinated by them.

Viewer discretion is advised, as it appears this shark is attacking a dolphin.

It's a pretty shocking sight to see, and if you asked me, I'd agree with you that, sure, it's a Great White, what do I know about shark identification?

Is It Really A Great White? Locals Debate In The Comments

However, a quick scroll through the comment section of the video shows people are doubtful that it is, in fact, a Great White.

Someone mentions it's more likely a Thresher Shark, another viewer says it's more likely a Dusky Shark or a Hammerhead.

Either way, I don't think I'm going in the water past my knees for a while until I can unsee this video.
