Visitor's to Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto, Canada expect a feeling of awe to come over them when they view the shark tanks - but no one prepares to be met with the sight of a stark naked man swimming with the predators. 

The daredevil, identified as David Weaver, jumped into the 2.9-million litre tank - the biggest at the Canadian aquarium - wearing nothing but a thick layer of hubris. 

YouTube user Karlzway recorded the incident and explained what he saw: "My girlfriend and I were filming the beautiful little fishes, cute sting rays and MASSIVE sharks .. UNTIL a man out of no where jumps into the tank and swims NAKED with the sharks LOL. He eventually got away from security and managed to escape before the cops showed up.... THE END. [sic]"

Weaver is lucky to have escaped without getting bitten, though one observer did note that the sharks seemed more agitated than hungry when he jumped into the tank: "It was hilarious. Sharks were swimming under him, they seemed angry but also frightened of him. They are fed daily so I guess they had no reason to attack him."

If authorities do happen to catch Weaver, he will be charged with indecent exposure, mischief, and trespassing
