It's the photo that almost looks too good to be real — and in some cases it isn't.
Now considered the ultimate viral shark photo, a picture snapped by ocean photographer Tom Peschak keeps showing up in unintended places.
When the US city of Houston got flooded after Hurricane Harvey in 2017 an image began circulating on social media of a shark swimming down a flooded highway, next to a car. But of course it wasn't real. The same photo had gone viral after Hurricane Irene in Puerto Rico, reports news.com.au.
While such pictures can circulate the internet in a flash, the original version is actually even better — and the pretty crazy story behind it was recently recounted for National Geographic by the man who captured the moment.
In 2003 a marine biologist told Mr Peschak about an unusually large number of sharks hanging around off the southern shoreline of South Africa.
