Photos released from a research boat off the coast of Tybee Island in the US state of Georgia show the breathtaking moment a great white shark suddenly attacked a woman who was trying to pet this ocean predator like a pet. According to the "Daily Mail" report, this experienced member of the "Knot Lucky Fishing" research group, during the shark tracking and tagging program, hung his hand from the end of the boat to touch the addicted shark, but the shark moved towards his hand with a strong jump and its head hit the hull of the boat. The incident, which the team said was contained quickly and did not harm him, but again brought a dire warning about the unpredictability of wildlife and was met with backlash from social media users.
