The first time Trent Micallef saw a great white shark, it wasn’t where you’d assume it was—it wasn’t in the ocean. Need some proof? Check out Micallef’s video footage of a juvenile white shark hanging out in Australia’s Lake Conjola.

Micallef took the footage in September of last year but posted it mid-March. Skeptics said there was no way it’s a great white, but many other people come to his defense, saying it definitely is. Most shark species stick strictly to salt water to survive, but some sharks (like bull sharks) can spend time in more brackish or even freshwater environments. In this case, the white shark had traveled to the lake through waterways, and Micallef says it’s thought to have made it back out to the ocean.
“Just to clarify for everyone. It is a confirmed juvenile great white shark, in Lake Conjola, which does open up to the ocean,” Micallef wrote in a comment reply on his viral video. “It was a long way up in the lake and very rare to see.”
