Shark stepping on LEGO brick
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/23
I did some research for the origin, which turned out to be very interesting:
- The original picture below is from Mike Coots and published at [Archive.is] Pew Environment on Instagram: “I still love sharks even after being attacked—maybe more than ever, since I know how important they are for the ocean…”
- Mike lost a leg from a shark attack. Now he helps protecting sharks.
- This viral tweet [WayBack] Robert Petersen on Twitter: “Rare image of a shark stepping on a Lego. https://t.co/xkadJmPkRg” got posted
- Many others put the meme text on the picture
More background information:

Mike Coots lost his leg to a tiger shark at age 18 while surfing off Kauai, Hawaii. But the experience didn’t shake his love for riding waves, the ocean—or sharks.
