A very large shark recently stunned people on a cruise. Musician Alex Albrecht captured images of the shark and posted it to his TikTok channel, where the post has been viewed more than 30 million times since Tuesday (May 25th.) The shark can be seen swimming slowly in a circle near the surface of the water as tourists rush to the side of the boat trying to get a closer look. Many of those who commented on the clip compared the shark to the extinct “Megalodon” which grew up to 18 meters in length.
