~When~ you think shark, you imagine a scary predator that can kill in a heart beat. But prepare to have your perception changed forever!
A video has surfaced from YouTube of a leopard shark requesting a good ol’ fashioned belly rub and now it’s making waves for all the right reasons.
The video shows an aquarium staff member swimming among the aquatic creatures, deadly and friendly alike, when a leopard shark swims right up to the diver.
Described as an “active-swimming-predator”, this leopard shark was far from that and affectionately wrapped itself around the staffer’s arm and received a length belly rub.
The video’s caption is in French, however it translates to: “”The leopard shark… interrupts the technician in his maintenance tasks… for his little hug day!”
We can’t help but notice how much the shark reminds us of a playful puppy, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be giving a shark a belly rub anytime soon.
We’re pretty certain if Jaws got a belly rub once in a while things would have been a whole lot different!
