WATCH: Lost Shark Gets Tossed Out Of Cronulla Rock Pool Like It’s Nothing

Okay, look, we can’t exactly condone the a swimmer’s decision to heave a Port Jackson shark out of a rock pool. It really does seem like the kind of thing potentially best left to marine experts.

That being said, footage of Cronulla local Melissa Hatheier lifting the flappy, toothy beast from the shallows and over a sea wall on Monday is definitely worth a watch, if only for how casual the whole ordeal seemed to be.

Speaking to Today, the real estate agent explained her mum first made the discovery. One phone call later, and Hatheier was on the way over to deliver the wet boy to the ocean proper.

“So I came down, there was a bit of a crew down here, and had a look and he was a little Port Jackson and was doing laps of the pool,” Hatheier said.

“And I said, you know I’m going to go in and check him out.”

As you do.

Hatheier said her ma had also called the cops, who apparently arrived on scene with precisely zero idea of how to respond. So, she volunteered to pick up the “stressed” creature herself.

Apparently that plan of action was good enough for law enforcement and onlookers, who were treated to a distinctly Australian response to the problem of ‘shark in a rock pool’.

Footage of the incident, filmed by Hatheier’s daughter Shannon, was subsequently posted to the Cronulla Real Estate Facebook page. At time of writing, keen punters have wrapped their eyes around the clip over 30,000 times.

Again, probably don’t do this. Return to this video instead, as proof of the one time this kind of deal did turn out perfectly.
