Sharks have always scared the crap out of people with their big teeth and dead eyes. But after Steven Spielberg made ‘Jaws’, people fear them like they’re the embodiment of the grim reaper. And with Halloween season on full blast, people probably like to test their bravery only in the company of Brody, Quint and Hooper. Well, except for one guy from Canada.
According to Global News, a British Columbia man was found swimming in a shark-filled tank at Ripley’s Aquarium on Friday, naked! Police spokesperson Katrina Arrogante said,
“It was reported that a man took off his clothing and jumped into the shark tank on the main level of the aquarium. Eventually the man did exit the tank and put on his clothing and he did leave the premise.”
Peter Doyle, the general manager of the aquarium, said that the man left the tank after they called the police. Thankfully, neither the man nor the sharks were harmed. However, Doyle said that he’s going to be press charges, claiming that this is the first time an incident like this has happened.
Here’s the video:

Despite the potential danger in the situation, netizens found the man who swam with sharks to be extremely funny and their reactions were hilarious.

Another example of Darwinism?

Jokes apart, Toronto police constable Allyson Douglas-Cook is suspecting that this is the same man who had assaulted a 34-YO man a few days ago. However, going by his love for swimming with sharks and intention to entertain the world with his back-flipping antics, let’s hope that that’s not the case.
