Boaters anchored off Robin Island, Alabama, were surprised when a group of hammerhead sharks swam right up to the boats in shallow water.
A video posted by Meredith Perry showed people hurrying out of the water as the sharks moved in. Perry’s fiancé, Paul Hubble, opted to stay in the water with the eight sharks.
“We got the kids, and I walked around the boat and noticed they were hammerheads,” said Hubble. “You could tell they were feeding on something and doing their thing. Everybody was climbing all over the boats and stuff. It was very dramatic to see for sure in probably like 2 (feet) of water, if that.” Hubble also remarked that for boaters, “we’re in their world”.
According to National Geographic, most hammerhead are considered harmless to humans and few attacks have been recorded.
