Stunning drone video recorded off the coast of New York shows hundreds of sharks and humpback whales swimming and jumping out of the Atlantic.
One video was recorded by Michael Cuomo, who called the experience the "wildest thing" he’s ever captured with a drone.
The video shows the tranquil waters of the Atlantic off the coast of Montauk, on New York’s Long Island, and then zooms in to show the sharks enjoying their day under the sea.
What they're saying:
"Yesterday evening, I walked out to look at the ocean and I saw some big splashes," Cuomo wrote in an Instagram post. "Was it dolphins? Tuna? Sharks?"
Once he launched his drone to get a better look, he came across the mesmerizing sight of hundreds of spinner sharks swimming and jumping out of the water.
Another video, recorded by Joanna L Steidle, showed humpback whales along with sharks feeding on a school of menhaden bait fish.
Steidle recorded the video about 400 feet off the coast.
