Researchers captured drone footage of blacktip sharks evading a 12-foot-long hammerhead shark in Florida. Researchers have captured dramatic drone footage of blacktip sharks quickly evading a 12-foot-long hammerhead shark by swimming into shallow waters off Florida's coast. The drone footage captured by researchers with Florida's Atlantic University is the first evidence of large adult sharks using the shallows to flee predators. In the dramatic footage, the adult blacktop sharks are seen fleeing for shallow waters when faced with the hammerhead. The hammerhead shark was caught approaching the smaller blacktip sharks off the coast of Florida.

A fisherman got one magnificent catch during the Fourth of July weekend when he reeled in a massive hammerhead shark off Florida's Panama City Beach -- and it was all captured in a drone video. Curtis Williams was flying his drone over Panama City Beach on Saturday when he saw the fisherman attempting to capture the shark. "Vacationing at beach and was going to video a nice pleasant sunset. I noticed a man wading in the water and something close to him," Williams told Storyful. "I brought the drone down and quickly realized a monster hammerhead was next to him."
