Terrifying clip shows what it’s like to be EATEN by a shark – before it spits you out onto seafloor
A glimpse of what it could look like to be eaten alive has been provided to viewers by footage of a tiger shark devouring an iPhone.
After the iPhone was inadvertently fallen into the water, the predator chomped on it, fortunately protected by a waterproof cover.
According to the Telegraph, tourists were watching a feeding session from a boat in the Bahamas.
One shark, mistaking the iPhone for a feast, gnawed it into its jaws, exposing the gill-ribbed mouth lining.
The handset was quickly spat out by the shark before it descended into its gullet.
Dave Finch, who owns an iPhone, was recording the Dolphin Dream Team adventure.

He was working on the shark tour with his friend, underwater photographer Ken Kiefer.
“This devious girl known by some as Jitterbug and by others as Buttface grabbed Finch s camera and was trying to get some selfies,” Kiefer said on her Facebook page.
She picked it up. Next came chewing, dropping, grabbing again, and dropping.
The 25-foot-long tiger shark is renowned for being a voracious hunter and an easy eater.
After the great white shark, they are the second largest species of predatory shark.
A vast array of marine prey, including crabs, shellfish, lobsters, squid, bony fish, tiny sharks, skates, rays, porpoises, and turtles, are consumed by these predators.
However, they have also been observed chomping on several land-walking mammals and marine birds.
Tropical and sub-tropical waters are home to the stunning species, which is distinguished by its black stripes.
Scientists have been perplexed by the discovery that tiger sharks have taken up residence on Norfolk Island, a former Australian prison colony.
In the South Pacific, tiger sharks off Norfolk Island are becoming an average of two feet longer than those on the Great Barrier Reef.
