A tourist who photographed an alligator in South Carolina was able to document a rare moment when a shark swam toward the reptile and bit its foot.
The tourist, Corey Conlon, said he photographed the alligator enjoying the sun near a pier on Hilton Head Island as the shark began to spin around it and feasted beneath it.
At this point a number of tourists began to throw food at the alligator.
The reptile was not interested in food, but the shark did and approached the water as it orbited the alligator.
The video shows the moment when the shark leaps towards the alligator and bites it in the leg.
The alligator jumped in a startled jump, but did not appear to be injured.
At first the alligator seemed to try to attack back, but eventually he returned to sunbathing and the shark continued to swim beneath him in circles.
