“Jaws” might have caused quite a lot of people to closely inspect their tubs before taking a bath, just in case a shark was lurking behind the rubber duckling, but, as it turns out, these animals are not as scary as most people think them to be.

On the contrary, they can sometimes prove surprisingly friendly. Besides, judging by the picture above, some might want to argue that they even have a healthy sense of humor.

The photo above was taken in the waters off the Bahamas coast and shows a lemon shark photobombing a diver. What's more, quite a lot of people agree that the shark featured in this picture is actually grinning.

According to Daily Mail, the photo was taken by 52-year-old Jeffrey Haines, who was merely trying to take a picture of a fellow diver at the time when the shark decided to swim by and get into the frame.

“I was actually photographing the diver who was pointing at a rather large tiger shark, that's why the diver is still in focus and the shark isn't.”

“But all of a sudden this lemon shark swam into the frame and photobombed the picture. It looked like it was smiling and it almost looked like it was saying ‘hey take a picture of me,’” Jeffrey Haines recollects.
