This terrifying footage shows what it would be like to be eaten by a great white shark. Researchers got more than they bargained for when a great white shark took a bite of the underwater camera drone they were using to film in the Pacific Ocean. The resulting footage shows a shark powering through the water, before attempting to swallow the drone in a single bite. Inside the mouth of the predator, the camera continues to film and shows the muscles inside the shark's jaw contracting with effort. The shark eventually spits out the camera and swims away, defeated.

The depths of the ocean can be a dangerous place, even for a drone. Incredible footage has captured the moment a Great white shark mistakes the machine for food and attacks it with amazing speed and precision. It is believed the video was filmed off the coast of Australia where Great whites are commonly spotted in southern waters from Exmouth in Western Australia to Southern Queensland. The video shows the metal drone sitting deep in the ocean, when almost out of nowhere the underwater beast appears. Within seconds the Great white wraps it teeth around drone and viciously tugs at it before realising the hunk of metal is not a tasty meal.
