Brothers Save Injured Shark On Florida Beach [VIDEO]

The Discovery channel's annual Shark Week is long over, but that hasn't stopped the devils of the deep from making waves. Video from earlier this week shows two brothers saving a shark on a beach in Destin, Florida.

The brothers realized the shark was injured and swam out to pull it to shore, according to the video description. Fishhooks were caught in the shark's mouth, which the brothers and bystanders helped remove.

The rescue came days after pro surfer Mick Fanning fought off a shark in mid-competition. The international surfing event, held in South Africa, was being broadcast live. From the video below, you can see a shark dorsal fin approaching Fanning, before the surfer goes underwater and starts to kick furiously. Fanning was able to fend off the shark and avoid injury.

Swimmers in North Carolina haven't been as lucky as Fanning. There have been eight shark attacks along the state's coastline this year, the most recent on July 4. Some of the injuries have been minor, but two teenagers lost arms June 14.

The number of sharks worldwide is at an all-time low, an expert told National Public Radio. No one knows why sharks have been attacking on the North Carolina coast, but they recommend that if a shark is nearby, you should fight it -- just as Fanning did.

Otherwise, let's the hope the rescued hammerhead in Florida remembers the kindness of strangers.
