00:01How far would you go for the perfect shark selfie?
00:04A growing social media trend is showing exactly how badly the question can end.
00:09Influencers have been filming themselves swimming dangerously close to sharks,
00:13sometimes even attempting to touch them for the camera.
00:16Brazilian content creator Tyane Deleuzen learned the risk firsthand
00:19when a nurse shark suddenly bit her leg while she was posing underwater.
00:32And she's not alone.
00:34The Telegraph reports that at least three content creators have been bitten in less than a year while creating shark
00:39-related content.
00:40Some viral videos have even shown people getting close enough to touch tiger sharks and great whites.
00:46The perfect viral shot can last seconds.
00:49Getting this close to a wild shark can have consequences that last much longer.
