The video below of a guy cutting a shark out of its egg has gone viral because quite frankly, it is awesome. He’s holding what looks like a thin, brown disc but when he cuts it, a beautiful black and white baby shark comes shooting out. Nature can be an amazing thing.

So not only was I amazed that a fully developed shark came flying out of that little brown egg, but I was also pretty blown away by the fact that sharks are actually born from eggs. I could’ve sworn that they gave birth like mammals did – you learn something new every day.

The guy in the video apparently bought the bamboo shark inside its egg from a pet shop and was instructed how to cut the animal free once it had reached a certain size.

Well wasn’t that just great. Hopefully that guy has got a nice big tank with loads of other shark buddies for his new friend to hang out with. And hopefully it won’t end up eating any of its new family members (because sharks do sometimes do that).
