Bobcat Drags Shark From Florida Beach

Once, while I was golfing in Florida, there was a 3-foot long alligator on the course. That was the first time I have seen a wild animal that could severely hurt me within 10 feet of my person.

That brings me to this guy in Vero Beach, Fla., who had a pretty unique experience. John Bailey took a photo of a bobcat dragging a shark out of the water while he was walking the beach of Sebastian Inlet State Park Monday.

By all accounts this photo is the real deal.

According to local10.com Bailey said, "Initially, it was pretty quick, spotted it, pulled it up (and) the shark floundered for a while."

This photo is really impressive to me. I'm not exactly sure that I would have been able to get that close and take the photo. Having said that, since Bailey did bust out what I imagine was his cell phone, why didn't he snap a video?

Who knows, maybe he had an old style flip phone and captured this amazing image.

How would you react if you saw this with your very own eyes?
