Drone footage has captured the heart-stopping moment a shark stalked a surfer before swimming up to him to take a closer look.

The video was filmed by Mark Zucconi, 53, at Avoca Beach on New South Wales' Central Coast in July when he noticed the grey nurse shark stalking a group of swimmers.

The footage shows the two-metre long shark approaching a surfer from right underneath his board, who in the last second made a crucial decision.

The shark was seen swimming between two men who were paddling out towards a large school of fish.

As the surfers paddled on their boards, the shark moved underneath one of them.

The surfer - who saw the animal at the last minute - managed to quickly lift his legs up to his board in fear of getting bitten by the large animal.

The shark then darted away from the startled surfer.

GREY NURSE SHARKS 

Grey nurse sharks live in shallow waters and are often found along the coast of New South Wales and Queensland, and on the coast of Western Australia.

The species is mostly harmless to humans but can attack if they feel threatened.

They can grow up to incredible sizes reaching a length of more than four metres.

Grey nurse sharks have thousands of serrated teeth and strong jaws which they use to eat fish, shrimp and squid.

They can live for up to 25 years and weigh up to 150kg.

The nurse shark is usually a grey or brown colour and its tail fins can be up to one-fourth their total length.
