An Australian real estate agent has been dubbed shark wrangler on Facebook after a video shows her dealing with a shark in the most no-big-deal-way ever. When most people notice a shark swimming in the pool they're in, their instinct would be to get the hell away from it. That doesn't seem to hold true for Melissa Hatheier. Her video of casually transferring a shark from a pool back into the ocean has left people thoroughly impressed.
