Wow! This group of southerners did not expect a science lesson on their day at the beach. The kids were just swimming in the waves when someone came across a dead animal washed up on shore. A bull shark lay their lifeless with a large gash on its underside near its head. Upon further inspection, the family noticed movement in the deceased fish. A man in the group, with strong encouragement from a woman dermatologist filming the event, decided to get brave and see what was inside.
He made several attempts with a normal pocket knife to dissect the creature, but learned quickly that the flesh was tough and going to need some effort to rip open, or maybe his knife needed sharpening. Either way, the man did not want to injure whatever might be inside the belly, so he did his best to balance force and tenderness as he stabbed into the corpse. With his first successful opening he did not find any moving innards, but after exposing intestines he was deep enough to see more wiggling around.
The hero then carefully used the knife to open the womb of the bull shark and discovered live babies inside! Imagine how nerve wracking this must have been, especially for a guy whose father was a victim of a shark attack. Nervously finagling the first infant onto the sand, the man makes sure he is not snapped at as he works the fish out to sea.
Returning with more confidence, he digs in even deeper to reveal a second baby! Grabbing the tail with ease, the operator carries the animal to safety, and is back promptly to birth yet another small fishy. Luckily, mother bull sharks do not rear their young, so these babes are ready to go. Three young ones were trapped in the belly of the mother, but with the help of a very courageous father they were saved from death to live free amongst shallow ocean waters. Thank you for your great valor, sir!
