Diver lends helping hand to nurse shark

YouTube user Ptsearch recently added the video below featuring a diver removing what appears to be an Aerobie flying ring from a nurse shark.

While nurse shark’s are bottom-feeders and are generally harmless toward humans, I still feel the need to give a “Kids, don’t try this at home,” warning, as the species has been known to occasionally latch on to divers when harassed or handled. Kudos to the diver in this video for clearing the shark of its unwanted accessory.
