This smiling shark looks just like Bruce from Disney's Finding Nemo.

The hilarious pictures shows a shark underwater in Juniper, Florida, looking straight into the camera with all of its gnashers on show.

It was caught on film in February 2016 by Kenneth 'Wayne' MacWilliams, 58, a retiree from Florida.

However, there is something slightly less intimidating about this shark than Bruce - who declares that 'fish are friends' in the Pixar animation - as the smile is more goofy than malicious.

This might have something to do with the fact that the pictured shark is a lemon shark - known as the world's friendliest shark.

Although they grow up to 10 feet in length, they don't use their power to their advantage and there have never been any known human fatalities.

Kenneth was diving with scuba-diving firm Emerald Charters, owned by 'shark whisperer' Captain Randy Jordan.

Randy Jordan's rules are simple: Stay out of the chum line, do not dive below him and do not wear contrasting colours.

Bruce stars in Finding Nemo as the shark who refuses to eat fish. His favourite saying is 'fish are friends, not food'

Kenneth said: 'Since it appears as though the shark is smiling, it made me smile.

'The sharks will swim from behind you through your legs, bump into your body or camera and strobes if "you decide" to get close to the action.

'Shark diving can of course be quite exciting because of the possibility of seeing these big, powerful, potentially dangerous, beautiful animals of nature.

'But, with a bit of common sense, coupled with an experienced crew the inherent dangers can be mitigated quite a bit.
