While sharing another video of the same beached shark, a Reddit user even outlined the events. "It got helped, this was when it first beached itself and no one knew what to do really. 2m shark so they weren't sure how to go about getting it back in the water or if it would bite," they said. 

Meanwhile, in another viral video, a filmmaker has managed to record the moment a shark chomped down on his camera, showing what it is like to be eaten by a shark.
