HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - A video showing an unlikely meeting between an alligator and several sharks in a South Carolina waterway is making the rounds on social media.

The video taken by a tourist was recently captured outside a popular waterfront restaurant in Hilton Head, near the South Carolina-Georgia border.

Gina Athans, of Chicago , was vacationing with her family on the island when the unusual encounter happened.

"My family and I had just sat down to order our drinks when one of the managers came up to us and mentioned that there were sharks and an alligator out on the boat dock," Athans said during a local news interview. "My first thought was ‘there's no way they're hanging out in the water together.' "
