Video shows the incredible moment a man in South Africa pulled three live baby shark pups from their dead mother.

In the amazing footage uploaded onto Youtube on Monday, we see the man pull out the three baby sharks and carry them back into back into the ocean.

The video begins after a family comes across the dead shark laying on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa.

As the family moves closer to the animal, the female filming the incident notices that there is still movement on the shark’s underside and that she believes the shark could be pregnant.

The family members then decides to take a knife to the shark’s abdomen to investigate.

The man cuts into the shark to reveal a sack holding a lively shark pup.

As the onlookers scream with amazement, the man helps the shark out of its sack and carries it into deeper water.

The man then reaches back into the dead shark’s stomach to find two more sacks, both with wriggling sharks pups inside of them.

In the background, you can hear the amazed onlookers trying to come to terms with what they have just witnessed, with one saying, “I think that is the coolest thing I have ever seen.”

Nice to have a story about someone doing something exceptional for animals for a change. Very well done.

That kind of looks like a Sandtiger shark. If it is, the pups are actually supposed to cannibalize each other with only one survivor being born. This is a reproductive strategy that maximizes the likelyhood for survival (bigger, stronger) with the trade-off, obviously, of fewer sharks being born.

If that's a Sandtiger, those pups probably didn't last very long

Amazing; wonder if they lived long after that. Either way, a good Samaritan for sure. His intentions were well meaning anyway.
