A woman has left social media users stiunned as she managed to keep her cool while great white shark was on the approach.
In the video, a pair of girls were seen running and screaming from a great white prowling just metres from the shore of a beach in Massachusetts, US.
However, the pair were slammed by a calm woman who told them "this isn't sharknado" as they fled the water in a state of hysterics.

Another added: "Truly horrifying – and not the first we've seen in Cape Cod recently."
A third joked: "Sharknado? More like Jaws."
