What started as a serene swim in Miami's clear waters quickly turned into a scene of screams, laughter, and a massive fright for Cuban influencer Daniela Reyes. While she was enjoying the ocean and filming a video with a friend's help, a pelican decided to make an unexpected landing just a few feet away from her!
The sudden appearance of the bird prompted an immediate reaction. Daniela, clearly startled, hurried towards the shore, exclaiming with nervous giggles, "Oh, this is going to give me a heart attack!"
However, the highlight was her friend's response, who, amid laughter, uttered the phrase that inspired this article's title: "Almost caught you."
Daniela shared the amusing encounter on her Instagram stories, captioning it with, "I almost died of fright," showing that despite the surprise, the incident turned into a memorable anecdote... and social media content.
Was it a wild coincidence, or was the pelican simply trying to say hello? One thing is for sure, Daniela now knows that in Miami, it's not just curious tourists she needs to look out for... but also daring birds.
