An Australia-based fisherman has captured extraordinary footage showing a large ray trying to outrun a hammerhead shark in the shallows.
“Just another day in Cape York,” Brody Sutton stated via Instagram.

The footage, posted below, shows both creatures speeding over the flats and the ray leaping to escape the jaws of the shark.
The ray then uses Sutton’s boat to assist in its seemingly successful survival effort. (The footage contains brief profanity.)
The footage has been widely shared via social media. BDOutdoors described the footage as “insane” and added: “High-speed chase in the shallows. What a juke by this ray!”
The Cape York Peninsula is in Far North Queensland.
