Someone who might be a little braver than your average human, and maybe they have a love for all things creepy and crawly?

Although not every person would even CONSIDER getting close to a shark, nevermind touching and holding one.

But this little 11-year-old from Australia, Billie Rea, didn't even think twice before helping a stuck shark get back to the open waters.

In case you might be wondering why a mother would watch a child engage with a shark, Billie's mom said that she knew she wasn't in danger when she saw it was a draughtboard shark, which is a very slow-moving and virtually harmless creature.

Ignoring the fact that she was calmly and easily handling this shark, our favourite part has to be her gentle and kind words: "I've got a shark. Come on darling," and "It's alright, it's alright."

Both the shark and Billie are now living happily ever after.
