Shark Flips Into the Air Near Boat in Queensland

A group of Queenslanders spotted a fish repeatedly jumping out of the ocean off the coast of Queensland, Australia, on July 12.

At one point, the fish narrowly misses landing in a passing boat.

Burger said the animal was a shortfin mako shark, the fastest shark in the world. Mako sharks have a reputation for impressive leaping, according to the marine conservation organisation Oceana. Credit: Gert Burger via Storyful
