This is the terrifying moment a tiger shark leaped out of the water and attacked a kayaker.
Scott Haraguchi was sailing off of the coast of Hawaii when the shark suddenly appeared.
Footage shows Scott screaming in terror as the animal opens its jaws around the boat.
He told KITV: ‘I looked up and I saw this big brown thing.
‘My brain thought it was a turtle but then I got slammed by it and realised it was a tiger shark.’
Thankfully Scott was able to kick the beast away and make a lucky escape.
He now fears the shark mistook his kayak for a seal.
A tiger shark was also found in Devon in March.
Fisherman Barry Trevett, 40, was out at sea near the town of Lyme Regis on Monday when he noticed the more than 10ft-long predator floating dead in the water.
He used a rope to haul it onboard and saw that shark took up half the length of his seven-metre boat.
‘It was such a mind-blowing thing to come across – in all my years I’ve never come across something like it,’ Barry told The Sun.
