Surfing Kids Photobombed by Shark

Close Encounters of the Jaws Kind

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... shark! At least it appears to be Jaws swimming—or photobombing, according to the Huffington Post—unnervingly close to two young surfers. 

Mom June Emerson unknowingly snapped the pic of her 12-year-old son Quinn and his buddy catching some waves at California's Manhattan Beach. It was only afterward that she noticed the shadowy shark-like outline behind the boys. Gulp.

Great white sightings aren't unheard of in the area, though Emerson was reluctant to scare the bejeesus out of her son, who's a regular at the beach" 

"Many local surfers and lifeguards have seen this and believe it to be a shark," she said. "Of course, I told my kids it was dolphin, as we live at the beach and are in the waters here almost daily."

Probable Photoshop attack or scariest photobomb ever? 

Would you knowingly let your kid swim in shark-friendly waters? These parents did.
