There's pretty much no reason to ever try this, but professional shark handler (doesn't that sound like a terrifying job description?!) Cristina Zenato did it away.
Filmed during Bahamas Underwater Photo Week, this video shows Zenato summoning a Carribean reef shark to her lap and petting her like a little baby puppy. The idea that sharks can be calmed by nose contact has been floating around for a while, but I still think it sounds like risky business! No matter how you look at it, watching one of the most dangerous animals in the world get scratched like a fur baby is pretty wild. Please SHARE!
