A whale shark was spotted just a few meters from swimmers in Keem Bay on Achill Island in Ireland. The video went viral on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) and was compared to the 1975 film “Jaws,” directed by Steven Spielberg.
In the video, the shark’s fins can be seen as it swims among the swimmers. Some of the swimmers are in canoes, while others are in the water, slightly startled but very impressed by the beauty of the animal.
One of the swimmers can be heard saying in the video, “Oh my God.” Shortly after, another shark appears, causing even more gasps from people on the beach.
“A fish in the sea, very shocking,” joked one of the users in the comments on TikTok. “The ‘Jaws’ music in the background would be really cool,” said another.
Whale sharks are considered the second-largest shark species in the world, reaching up to 7.9 meters in length. They pose no threat to humans, as they feed solely on plankton.
