The video has gone viral and is doing rounds on multiple social media platforms. Without missing a single attempt, the shark got hold of the man\u2019s finger when he tried to catch it with his hands while he was traveling on a boat. The shark twisted the man\u2019s finger and bit it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the viral video, a child can be seen witnessing the shocking incident. Mocking at the situation of the man, one social media user commented that it is a twist which the man did not expect. Later in the video, it can be seen that the man successfully saves him from an extreme incident. However, the man appeared to be terrified despite his courage to catch the shark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/clipsthatgohard\/status\/1669275994384105472?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharks are considered to be predators and could be capable of inflicting wounds if they are provoked. Furthermore, white sharks along with bull and tiger sharks are the largest and most dangerous species commonly known to attack humans. In the view that sharks are dangerous, one social media user opined that this is why people should not mess with sharks. The user added that the sharks like to bite.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other occupants of the boat, especially children are seen terrified by the incident while the man walks away from the shark while sucking the injured part. The fish in the video is a nurse shark. This species of sharks are usually small and they prefer to stay away from divers. However, their jaws are strong and their mouths are filled with hundreds of serrated teeths. These creatures are ranked fourth in the number of documented bites on humans, according to the National Geographic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years earlier, another similar video went viral on social media platforms which showed a nurse shark latching onto the arm of a man who was swimming at Florida\u2019s Jenson Beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The shark got hold of the man\u2019s finger when he tried to catch it with his hands while he was traveling on a boat.
