Terrifying bull shark attack makes 'Jaws' look playful

Welp, we're never going into the ocean again.

In this video posted on Youtube by user Liquid Vision, a spearfisherman in North Queensland, Australia, narrowly escapes an attack mid dive from a seemingly unprovoked bull shark, proving once again that Australia's wildlife is SCARY.

Thankfully, the fisherman acted quickly by stopping the shark with his spear before it made him its next meal.

Our fear of sharks, luckily like that fisherman, is alive and well.
