Onlookers on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, were stunned by the site of a giant bird swooping over the sands and carrying away a large fish.

Footage shot by Tennessee native Ashley White from the 17th floor of an apartment building where she was staying on vacation shows the fish still wriggling around trying to escape on June 22.

The video was shared by Tracking Sharks on Twitter, where it sparked debate over what type of bird it is and whether or not it was carrying a shark.

All the Condors are at or near west coast and western mountians.   Got to be a heck of a large Osprey. 

Probably not a good choice of lunch though.  If it is a shark., these guys are hard to kill, and will even snap and gnarl even in death's throes.

Perhaps ANTIFA is building an Airforce and training birds of prey to carry attack sharks to deploy on random beach goer's...

Dunno nothin about condors, but that's marked out like an osprey. Go figger... I didn't know them to be east of the Rockies...

Well ain't that something. I had no idea they were so prevalent. All my kin come out here and marvel at em. 

Thank you.

It looks like the Osprey is holding a tuna to me. 

I saw an Osprey nest in the Bahamas.  It was huge.

A Tuna would seem to be a more logical meal choice.  Mother Nature gives these critters pretty good common sense, and a nabbing a shark seems a tad implausible if not dangerous to the bird, .......unless that bird and / or its young were starving.
