MEXICO CITY (appro). – As if it were a scene from one of the movies from the “Jaws” saga, people who swam in the sea from a beach in Florida, United States, were surprised when they saw the shark moving through the area, very close to tourists.
According to the video circulating on social networks, people began to shout and others urged those who were in the sea to get out as soon as possible, in Navarre Beach, Florida.
The recording was published by Cristy McCallie Cox, on Monday, July 3, at 3:04 p.m.
The Navarre beach security director, Austin Turnbill, told local media that seeing sharks in the Gulf of Mexico is common, so he urged tourists not to be alarmed, but recommended that they always be alert.
He recommended that visitors who want to enter the sea avoid it if they have an open wound, wear bright bathing suits or at night, since that is when sharks usually hunt.
“The shark was just trying to feed as expected and just walked right past the swimmers. Everyone was stunned as he made his way down the beach chasing the school of fish. We all have to remember that this is natural and that we are in his house, so stay alert!” added Cristy McCallie Cox.
