Guys think a shark is swimming among them.

Six guys holding drinks and enjoying the shallow water off a Florida beach suddenly became panicked when they noticed a scary sea creature among them.

Undoubtedly, they believed the sea creature to be a shark, and it swam right between them.

Near St. Petersburg, Michael McCarthy of See Through Canoe Co. captured video via drone that shows the men quickly scrambling to get to shore once they noticed the intruder.

But it was not a shark. It was a dolphin.

“This dolphin had these guys running all the way to the beach,” wrote McCarthy in the description of the video on his YouTube channel. “I thought it was funny how a few of them kept running even when they hit the beach…The guys ran hard, but they all held on to their drinks. Classic Florida.”

McCarthy entitled his video, “The fear is REAL, but the DANGER is not. Dolphin must have a sense of humor.”

At the time, these men were definitely not laughing, however.

McCarthy wrote that he knew the dolphin was about to swim very close to the men, but “I didn’t expect it to swim right through them.”
