This had to be a scary experience. Self-described film director, pirate, cinematographer, and conservationist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zimydakid/">zimydakid</a> was scuba diving when a tiger shark decided to take a bite of his Insta360 camera. The shark chewed on it for a minute, then decided it didn't taste all that good, and so discarded it. Surprisingly, the camera still worked fine, with only a couple of scratches as souvenirs of its time in a shark's mouth. Oh yeah, and there's the footage, too. How scared was zimydakid? Judge for yourself from some other footage of him recording tiger sharks.

In other words, not at all. The camera-eating clip was taken near the Maldives, although zimydakid and his crew have been all over the world swimming with sharks, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deepseaguardians/">which you can see at Instagram</a>. -via <a href="https://boingboing.net/2022/04/25/check-out-crazy-footage-caught-by-a-shark-who-decided-to-taste-a-camera.html" alt="Boing Boing&nbsp;" class="on">Boing Boing&nbsp;</a>​ #shark #camera #tigershark
