First there was the brainless #KikiChallenge, and now there’s the #BabySharkChallenge.
If you’re the parent of a toddler, you’ll probably know about the annoying Baby Shark YouTube video.
And now it seems to have taken on a life of its own with a challenge.
With over 3.3 billion views, the original Baby Shark video, created by Korean kids’ channel Pinkfong, has reached titanic proportions, so it was only a matter of time till it morphed into something more.
So the Baby Shark challenge works like this: people getting out of moving cars and dancing while being filmed - similar to the #KikiChallenge” - but dressed up as...sharks?

Cyber safety expert and child psychologist Jordan Foster told The New Daily: “It’s simply dangerous to be jumping out of your moving car to perform this dance.”
Despite the warning, people are still posting them under #babysharkchallenge.
