PERTH, Australia — Sharks surrounded and then chased a fisherman who was in an inflatable boat off the Australian coast, video shows.
Rowan Lewis, a fisherman for more than 30 years, was offshore Wednesday when four 13-foot sharks, believed to be bronze whalers, approached, 9News reported.
"One's curiosity, but four's a pack," Lewis told 9News. "We threw the boat into gear to get away from them, and we put it into a tight turn just to see, and they were definitely following us."
“While not usually aggressive, they are potentially dangerous to humans,” according to the museum.
The bronze whaler, also known as the copper shark, can pose a threat, according to Museums Victoria.
