Chilling footage shows shark prowling off Australian coast before vanishing in a flash – but can YOU spot it?
CHILLING drone footage reveals just how hard it is to see sharks prowling off the Australian coast as a beast appears hidden from sight.
Aussie snapper Sean Scott has left internet users stunned after sharing the clip from the town of Esperance with the caption "can you see the shark?".
The viral footage appears to show the beautiful blue water peacefully moving in waves from above.
But for a brief moment, the outline of a shark can be seen moving just below the surface before vanishing.
Many viewers, however, have been left convinced that the video doesn't show a shark as they struggle spot the creature.
Commenting on Instagram, one wrote: "There’s no shark. We’ve been baited."
Another said: "I've looked so hard that now every dark shadow looks like a shark. No idea."
A third responded: "I finally saw it, took my 100 screenshots to spot it but I did."

It comes after a Brit diving instructor was mauled to death by a 15ft great white shark in Australia just days before safety lines were due to be installed.
Simon Nellist, 35, was killed by the predator just 150m away from the beach at Buchan Point, near Little Bay in Sydney, in the first fatal attack in the area in nearly 60 years.
Witnesses said they heard the victim yell out for help in desperation as the shark pounced in February.
The great white allegedly "attacked vertically" before dragging the man's body out of the ocean.
Expert Lawrence Chlebeck said that the ferocious shark probably mistook the swimmer - reportedly wearing a wetsuit - for a seal when it launched and attacked the Brit.
It came just three months after another Brit Paul Millachip was attacked and killed off the coast of Western Australia.
The 57-year-old was dragged underwater by a 14ft great white when he was killed in front of his horrified family.
