THIS is the unbelievable moment when a shark engages in a fight with a stingray as astonished beachgoers observe from the shoreline.

The gripping confrontation was recorded by a tourist at Panama City Beach located on Florida’s Gulf coast on July 31.

Each year, a dozen shark bites are documented in the Sunshine State, with the most recent fatal incident having occurred in 2010.

Online footage reveals the shark’s fin protruding from the water as it menacingly advances toward the stingray.

Meanwhile, crowds are gathered along the shore, eager to get a better view, as someone exclaims: “Oh my God, is it eating it?”

Just meters away, the enormous stingray breaks the surface of the waves with its shimmering fin.

After tussling in the sea, the pair appear to swim off in separate directions.

According to biologists, it’s not uncommon for sharks and stingrays to interact.

Some shark species also mistake swimmers for prey – sometimes leading to fatal incidents.

Earlier this month, a surfer was mauled by a shark at New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

Lifeguards sprang into action and fellow surfers used a leash to act as a tourniquet. 

Speaking from his hospital bed, Bender recalled the horror.

“I felt it clamp down like a bear trap out of nowhere,” he told the outlet.

“I never saw the shark, but it bit really forcefully. It felt like electricity.”

He revealed he was squeezing the area left mangled by the shark bite.

Bender had to undergo surgery but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

This comes as a woman from Las Vegas was left seriously injured after a shark sank its teeth into her during her first-ever trip to the state.

The terrifying attack happened on May 27 in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, just south of Pompano Beach.

Emily Ross was snorkeling in waist-deep water when she spotted the animal’s tail.

“I was just wandering around looking at the fish, and then I saw the tail of the shark,” she told Fox affiliate KVVU-TV.
