Langs Beach Bronze Whaler Shark Approach

A bronze whaler shark approaches swimmers at Langs Beach in Northland, New Zealand, filmed from the air. Shot with DJI's Mavic Pro in 4K.

The previous day a shark came even closer than this, momentarily trapping a swimmer on the rocks.

Under normal circumstances, bronze whalers infrequently attack people, but swimmers in both Australia and New Zealand have been bitten. They can reach up to 3.3 metres in length [11 feet].
