UDrone filmed a white shark a few feet from sunbathers on a beach in Forster, Australia. 17-year-old Cameron Grace was controlling the drone by the beach when it caught the shark. The two bathers were completely oblivious to the animal’s presence, reports 7 News.
Cameron asked his aunt to quickly notify the swimmers. “It was not a small shark, it was two, two and a half meters long,” said the young man. The aunt warned the bathers, who left the Water.
Shark-human encounters in Australia are frequent. Rob Townsend of Sealife Sydney recalls that many of these encounters go unnoticed by people and that sharks themselves often avoid contact with humans.
Vision of what experts believe is a Great White Shark lurking within meters of swimmers on a NSW beach was spotted by a teenager using a drone. His fast-moving family raced to the shore and yelled to surfers to quickly get out. https://t.co/F0qHPwLjRQ @campricenews # 7NEWS pic.twitter.com / I89O9KJ6WB

“For every shark that a person sees, there must be 10 or 100 sharks that see people… They have to imagine that this happens constantly and they don’t care,” Townsend said.
