This is the moment a brave survivor of a shark attack came face to face with a predator.

Mike Coots showed off his prosthetic leg which he uses instead of the puzzled hammerhead shark limb.

In 1997, the 43-year-old photographer and conservationist survived a shark attack in Kauai, Hawaii, by a tiger shark, resulting in the loss of his prosthetic leg.

Despite his life-changing injuries in the attack, Mike is an avid shark advocate and loves being around sharks.

An image shows the mischievous shark swimming towards the photographer, investigating his prosthetic leg, acquired in the previous shark encounter gone bad.
