According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, crocodiles and sharks were seen swimming side by side on Hilton Head Island, a famous tourist destination in South Carolina. Gina Atans, a tourist from Chicago, captured a lemon shark approaching while filming a crocodile swimming along the pier near a local marina.
Dozens of people flocked to the surprising scene, but the crocodile and the shark continued swimming peacefully as if they were not aware of each other at all.
The video became a hot topic as it spread rapidly on social media.
Netizens say "Looking at this, I realized there was no reason to be in the water", "You two look fine, but if you're out...", Comments such as "'Who's hunting whom?' were posted.
The scene appears to have attracted crocodiles and sharks as local fishermen groomed the fish they caught and threw by-products into the water.
Meanwhile, lemon sharks are not known to show aggressive tendencies in humans, but experts still recommend keeping a sufficient distance.
"Two animals can coexist, and they are often seen together," said South Carolina's environmental officer.
Crocodiles generally live in freshwater, but they are not uncommon to swim in seawater, he said, adding that similar sizes do not pose a threat to each other.
