Man pulls shark from the sea to take photos with it

WPTV News | West Palm Beach Florida / YouTube

LAST WEEK , WE reported how a dolphin died after being passed around on a beach for selfies.

WPTV reporter Ashleigh Walters shared this video of a man taking a shark from the sea in order to take selfies with it in Palm Beach, Florida.

The man wrestles the small shark from the water before holding it down in order to take photos with it.

He then releases it back into the water. Walters says in her Facebook post that it “did not resurface for several minutes”.
