The video was first shared on social media by a user named "Shark Tracking." According to the video, on Myrtle Beach, a giant bird swooped down from the sand and took a big fish.
Local Ashley White also confirmed the authenticity of the video, where the giant bird took the big fish and was photographed again in her vacation apartment building, and Ashley's video showed the big fish still struggling.
As soon as the video was released, it sparked a debate about which bird was in the video and whether it caught the shark. Most people think that the giant bird is an osprey, because the osprey has enough power to lift the big fish out of the water, a few people think it is a bald eagle or an eagle, and some people quipped that the giant bird is a pterodactyl.
There are also many concerns about whether the giant bird catches a shark, some netizens question what kind of shark it will be, and some people reply that it is a dog shark, a small shark. Many netizens analyzed the shape of the tail of the big fish in the video, believing that the fish was a mackerel and not a shark.
