Tourists were shocked when they saw the shark lunge to their vessel in a lagoon in the French overseas territory of Mayotte.
Whale watchers who were on a boat in an Indian Ocean holiday hot spot were left shaken after they came across an endangered shark that lunged at their vessel as it tried to protect the prey it was feasting on.
The manager of the company, Jean Gaucher, said that those on board the vessel got more than they bargained for when shortly after the vessel had left the lagoon, they came across a floating carcass. "As we approached, we saw that it was a dead blue swordfish which had just been killed by a Mako shark."
He said that those on the boat observed the shark for about 20 minutes before it bit the floating part at the rear of the boat. "It was amazing... We need a couple of days to repair the boat," he added.
