A man was seen on video manhandling a bull shark he supposedly caught from Singapore waters recently.

The video showing the rare sight of a bull shark hauled from the sea here was posted on Facebook on Oct. 10 by one Wojie Yeo Oceanz.

Triumphant photo shoot with bull shark

The angler posed for photos of his unexpected catch.

However, the bull shark literally appeared like a fish out of water, with what appears to be blood near its gill slits.

The angler can be seen using a pair of pliers to hold the shark at its mouth, while hoisting the creature at the other end by its tail.

Some commenters said that the incident happened at Bedok Jetty.

Released back into the water

While it's uncertain for how long the shark out of water, the animal was ultimately released back into the sea.

Here you can see how laboriously another man tried to carry and throw the shark, but ended up dragging it on the ground, before tossing it back into the water.

What are bull sharks?

In response to Mothership queries, NParks confirmed that the creature was a sub-adult female bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas).

Bull sharks are found globally in warm coastal waters, and are known to venture up estuaries and rivers.

Bull sharks are named for their large and stout appearance, and adults can grow to 2.5 metres, with females generally larger than males.

Bull shark pups are born in freshwater and the young migrate to the sea as they mature.

They are known to dwell in shallow waters and are territorial by nature.

Bull sharks have been reported in Singapore waters, with previous sightings off the northern coast and around fish farms.

In 2012, a juvenile bull shark was spotted at Sembawang shipyard before.

NParks cautioned that members of the public who see sharks are advised not to approach or provoke them.
