Photographer Captures Amazing Photo Of Osprey Carrying A Shark

August 9, 2022

A photographer in Delaware captured an awesome photo of an osprey carrying a shark.

Stephanie Faust said she was snapping photos at a lookout point near the Delaware Bay when she heard someone nearby shout "Oh wow, I think he has a shark!"

She looked up and caught a glimpse of an osprey soaring through the sky with a shark in its talons. She quickly snapped a couple of photos.

Initially, Faust was displeased with the photos -- but she posted one to Facebook anyway.

"#SharkWeek haha... wish I was in the right camera setting.... I was focused on one last capture of the lighthouse... and I heard someone say "oh wow...I think he has a shark" looked up & he was over my head," she captioned the now viral photo.

Faust has been a photographer for about 10 years, but it wasn't until recently that she began to focus more on nature and wildlife, Delmarva Now reported.

"When you spend time out with nature, you just never know what you're going to see," Faust added.
