A diving guide leaves a shark completely docile and balanced in the palm of his hand. The underwater animal whisperer, named Jorge, was able to tame the 8ft long shark by simply rubbing its snout, one of its most sensitive places, causing the animal to become overwhelmed by the stimulation. Having calmed the silky shark, a species which has been known to behave aggressively toward divers, he gently grasped its body and turned the predator so it was upright. The amazing moment was witnessed by French marine biologist Mathieu Foulquie, 39, just five metres underwater on a dive in the Gardens of the Queen National Marine Park in Cuba.
