The terrified trio were posing for a
photo in the idyllic surroundings of the Cayman Islands when the slippery
stingray crept up behind them.
They had reportedly enjoyed a day's
snorkelling in Stingray City, a popular tourist destination where holidaymakers
are encouraged to feed and touch the fish.
'Enjoy this unique experience of touching
and feeding a stingray, together with snorkelling amongst magnificent coral
reefs and colourful tropical fish,' explains Stingray City's official
website.
'Standing in only three feet of water you
will be surrounded by more than two dozen friendly stingrays.'
When the role-reversing sea creature
decided to reciprocate the friendly feelings it didn't receive quite the
response he might have been expecting.
As two amused holidaymakers watch the
events unfold, a look of terror can be seen on the three women's faces as the
prankster poses calmly in the background.
The photograph, originally posted image
sharing site Imgur, quickly went viral across various social-networking sites.
'Yes, this is the best photobomb ever,'
said one Twitter user.
While another added: 'Is this the
photobomb to end all photobombs?'
