A baby bull shark has been spotted swimming around a lake in Florida, after it's thought it was displaced from the ocean during Hurricane Helene.

A local business filmed the creature in Lakes Park - close to the Gulf of Mexico - in the days after the devastating storm hit.

The animal did not appear to be in distress, and there are currently no plans to move the shark back to the ocean, with experts suggesting this breed can survive in any water type.
