“They ran hard, but they all held on to their drinks,” a Facebook post from See Through Canoe said.<\/p>\n
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 For a group of beachgoers in St. Petersburg, a relaxing swim in the Gulf took a “fin-tastically” funny turn.<\/p>\n
In a video posted by See Through Canoe<\/a> \u2014 a local canoe and kayak store \u2014 six men appear to be standing in a circle while treading water, when a dolphin swims through and flaps its tail up and down. Within seconds, they begin to frantically wade through the water and back to shore.<\/p>\n “They ran hard, but they all held on to their drinks,” the social media post reads.<\/p>\n Some commentators on the post say the animal appeared to be a shark \u2014 and perhaps, the men in the video might have figured the same.<\/p>\n But as the See Through Canoe notes, “The fear is real but the danger isn’t.”<\/p>\n
They both live in the ocean, and they’re both large with similar features. So, how do you tell which animal is which if it happens to pass by?<\/p>\n
