Incredible moment Eagle ray leaps into the air from the ocean to escape being eaten by a hammerhead shark
This eagle ray lived up to its name as it leapt into the air to escape a hammerhead shark.
Captured by a tourist in the waters off the coast of Panama, the ray soared into the air in an attempt to reach the safety of the sandy shores of Zapatila Island.
The resourceful ray managed to save its life by briefly beaching itself before being pulled back out to sea by the next wave.
Camera man Ralph De Bie was on a surf trip with friends when he captured the epic battle. He mentioned, “The shark tried to come all the way up the beach but couldn’t get far enough.”
Fortunately, the encounter ended well, and the excitement of the fight overshadowed their initial plan of surfing.
