A hammerhead shark was spotted and caught on video swimming dangerously close to the shore this week in Orange Beach, Ala.
The video, posted on Facebook, has been viewed more than 5 million times and was shot from a nearby balcony.
Catarena Peek of Texas recorded the footage while on vacation with her boyfriend, according to Fox 10 Mobile in Alabama.
She also told them it was the second shark they'd seen that day.
The shark was apparently chasing stingrays. Beachgoers can be seen running from the spot when they realize just what is swimming near them.
