They were so captivated by the discovery of a bright new fish species that they failed to notice the giant shark swimming above them.

The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco shared video of the encounter along with a message.

"That feeling when your science-obsessed colleagues won't look up long enough to notice the 8- to 10-foot shark directly overhead," said the Academy.
