Alex Allbrecht said he was shocked at the size of the animal and posted the unbelievable video to social media.
A gargantuan shark was spotted off the coast of Massachusetts, and a video of the moment has since gone viral on TikTok.
Alex Allbrecht said he shot the video while aboard a ship, and once he posted it to social media, people were astonished at its size.
The shark, which some people suggested looked like a prehistoric megalodon, which were able to grow up to 67-feet, was the world’s second largest, known as the Basking shark.
Basking sharks often eat plankton, but according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, they are often mistaken for the much scarier Great White shark.
