Rare walking shark spotted on land blows viewers’ minds in ‘history-making’ footage

Well, that day has arrived – and the footage is truly amazing to behold.
Shark Week on Discovery has been awash with incredible moments this year, taking viewers under the surface to watch moments including a great white shark breaking into an underwater cage holding a diver and a camera capturing what a tiger shark’s mouth looks like from the inside.
Adventurer and TV personality Forrest Galante was joined by his team on the programme Island of the Walking Sharks as they filmed a fascinating species of shark that actually have the ability to walk using their fins, called the epaulette shark.

While your first thought of a walking shark might be imagining it standing upright like a human, that’s not quite how it works – but the reality is mind-boggling to witness.
Forrest was closely inspecting as the shark used its fins to drag itself out of the water and travel across rocks on land, explaining how ‘incredible’ it was to see firsthand.
quote:
‘This is spectacular! This is the first time in history one of the Papuan species of epaulettes has been documented walking,’ he said, emphasising how momentous an occasion this is.
The conservationist then added: ‘How amazing is that, to see a shark leave the water and come onto land. The only-known shark in the world that will walk out of the water and over land.’
The adventurer was astounded by what he was witnessing
In another Shark Week programme that recently aired, a diver got more than he bargained for after a great white left a ‘poonado’ in its wake.
Dr Charlie Huvaneers and his team were exploring the shark-infested waters to try and get to the bottom of what great whites eat and why… but their endeavours led to them experiencing a disgusting incident in the ocean.
Shark Week airs on the Discovery Channel.

Come on.
I was expecting it to leave one pool, travel a minimum distance of 2 feet into another pool.
My mom has a Mandarin Goby that walks around on it's fins (in water) like that.

Now, lets see him stay out of water for more than a minute.

Those are cool fish. I had a couple when I kept a saltwater tank. Unfortunately, the first one became dinner for a fish we were given and didn't know was predatory. RIP lil' feller.

So, what does this do, or change now? Do we get free Filet-o-Fish from Mcnasty's? Why is it such a big deal? Does it end global pestilence, famine, and dishonest politicians?

More importantly, can we still eat shark on Fridays during lent?

C'mon, man. Stop trying to scare people when they get a candy-gram.

I’d rather see a Great White on a Harley.

You’re just mad this shark can do something you can’t.
