Shark spits on radio DJ's face in bizarre wildlife experience

A US radio star's close encounter with a shark in Mexico got a little too real when the wide-mouthed creature spat water right in his face.

New Orleans DJ Corey Bonalewicz was holidaying in Cancun last week when the man-size shark gave him a wildlife experience he is sure to remember for a long time.

As the B97 presenter petted the docile fish in clear and shallow water he may have rubbed it the wrong way causing it to spit a stream of water at him from close range.

As the American recoils in disgust his friends and a man who appears to be a shark handler laugh raucously.

"Thank you," the DJ says as he wipes his face.

The radio personality appeared unperturbed by the incident, posting a link to the video online and linking to it on his Twitter page.
