The shark and the grouper circle each other.

Underwater, the situation is just as tense, as the shark keeps a fair distance away from its prey.

A brief moment of hope arrives for the shark.

But as the fishermen try to reel the shark in, the grouper reappears .

The grouper grabs the shark quickly and pulls him off the fishing line.

Swimming away, the grouper ensures the shark's defeat.

The shark has become the most feared creature in the ocean, with much thanks to real-life and fictional shark attacks sinking their teeth into our psyche. But the video below shows that those great whites aren't the greatest thing we have to worry about in the water.

Watch on mobile.

The video depicts a grouper fish and a 4-foot-long shark circling each other next to a boat. Clearly only one fish is going to make it out alive, and the two dance their maritime battle for survival. But when one fisherman nearly reels in the shark, its doom is played out quickly as the grouper sinks its jaws into its prey--swallowing the shark whole in one swift bite.
