People are obsessed with photo of a shark that ‘looks like Satan’ | World News

A photo of a shark has got people talking, with many saying it looks like the devil.

The image has been taken from underneath the shark, with the fins appearing as Satan’s horns, the ribs similar to eyebrows, and the mouth looking as if it’s smiling deviously.

Posted on Facebook by Aiden Mathers, the photo has been shared on Facebook 2,700 times and has 3,500 reactions.

Several people commented underneath.

Ricky Cupp wrote: ‘That is sooo crazy!!! I knew sharks were the devil’s work.’

Not everyone thought the shark resembled Satan however.

Steve Babs posted: ‘Why do people always see the devil? Looks more like a Court Jester to me.’

While Jay Nee said: ‘I thought it was the magic mirror from Snow White.’

And Alison Toms wrote: ‘I actually thought it was the Joker from Batman.’

Some were freaked out by the photo, with Everell Bush-Wicherski posting: ‘Disturbing image, don’t like it.’

While Jere Estright said (we assume with tongue firmly in cheek) they saw a family resemblance: ‘I actually thought that was my sister.’

Last month residents of a Scottish town got a very unexpected warning that a great white shark might be lurking off its shores.

An email was pinged to people who had set up Google alerts for Fortrose in the Scottish Highlands warning them of the presence of the giant sea predator.

It turned out however, the warning was aimed at people living in another town called Fortrose in New Zealand.
