A video that was uploaded to YouTube shows how one animal, usually thought of as a fierce and lethal aquatic species,

actually has a surprisingly large capacity for friendship. This is due to the strange and interesting friendship that 9-foot lemon shark Snooty has made with a woman.

Rayna, a woman who considers a shark a friend, claims that each time she steps into the water, the dangerous animal knows who she is. Like a dog, the creature even lets her pet it.

Rayna explains, ‘Snooty swims right up to me as soon as she sees me.’ ‘And she stays with me for the entire dive, and I’ll give her a little treat and a nose rub.’

As was previously noted, Snooty is a lemon shark. These sharks are ‘the golden retriever of sharks,’

according to Rayna, who also describes them as ‘the most social shark you’re going to see’ in the video. Lemon sharks, according to Rayna, are ‘super touchy-feely sharks.’

Professional diver, photographer, and shark videographer Rayna is fearless around the beings. Even on her days off, she frequently spends them swimming and interacting with marine life.

Underwater, she declares, ‘Sharks are definitely my favorite companions.’However, she doesn’t exclusively come across lemon sharks when diving.

She mentioned a few more people that she frequently encounters while on these deep-sea diving excursions.

The friendship between Rayna and Snooty is somewhat surprising and a little confusing. Even though Snooty appears to be a kind and amiable animal,

it’s safe to assume that most people won’t be diving into the water in search of a shark to make friends with.
