A father from Florida shared two chilling photos on his photography Instagram page. It shows a giant shark swimming terrifyingly close to his children. Luckily, he caught it with his drone and promptly told them to get out – as we can see in the other photo (swipe right).

The incident happened on June 23, when photographer Dan Watson and his three children went to the beach. We can see what happened next in an Instagram post he shared. “See that dark shadow making its way straight for the shore & those people? That was my view this weekend while flying my Mavic 2 Pro… and oh, 3 of those people are my kids!” Watson wrote. “Swipe to see the next image that resulted from my yelling to get out of the water and the unmistakable outline of a shark. Definitely too close of an encounter for my liking!”

Did you know that there’s a species of snails that are as big as a human’s head? They are native to African countries Kenya and Tanzania, but they recently appeared in Florida as well.

The giant African land snail can grow over 8 inches in length. If you have trouble comprehending that, we totally understand you.

As the Florida Department of Agriculture announced, “This is not science fiction. This is real.” These snails feed on around 500 types of plants, so it’s fair to say they’d eat “almost anything,” as described by Daniel Benjamin, public information officer for the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Division of Plant Industry, and reported by The Dodo.

“When it was at its peak, we’d find marks on the sides of houses where the snails had been eating the stucco,” said Benjamin. “Stucco contains calcium, which the snails consume to keep their shells healthy.”

In some parts of the world, people keep them as pets. This is illegal in the U.S., though. The giant snails can live up to 10 years in the wild and around five or six years in captivity.
