An incredible shark video was taken a few days ago but this didn't involve shark attacks. It involved the rescue of baby sharks.

A dead pregnant shark washed ashore on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa. The woman that discovered the dead shark lying on its side asked onlookers to check what was inside the shark's bloated belly because she saw the stomach move.

A man hastily cut open the dead shark to find three live baby sharks. The shark babies appeared to be in good health. The woman captured the entire process on video.

After releasing the baby sharks from their dead mother, the man immediately set them free into the ocean. Baby sharks are designed to fend for themselves as soon as they're born. Some baby sharks make a fast getaway to prevent their own mother from eating them.

Onlookers squealed with excitement when the baby sharks were set free into the ocean. The YouTube video went viral when it was recently uploaded by a user named bodhispeak,

The video has been viewed close to a million times. The description of the video says this event shows a good example of respect for all kinds of life on the planet.
