I'm fascinated by sharks, but I don't think I would ever have the courage to do this.
While on a shark tagging expedition off the coast of Hilton Head, South Carolina wildlife photographer Taylor Horton was videoed playing with an 11-foot shark, and at one point can been seen putting his arm around the animal.
Shark tagging involves attaching specially-created tags to the dorsal fins of sharks to track their migration patterns. Horton’s friend, Chip Michalove, said that the sharks “lose all aggression” when they get close to the boat.
