Nessy, is that you? ^^

[stillmatic117]

it doesn't matter if they dont bite you, THEY ARE A WILD SIZE, I'D SHIT MYSELF NO I'D ACTUALLY DIE ON THE SPOT IF ONE ROLLED UP BESIDE ME

[richdolanski]

Bull sharks, tiger sharks, great white sharks, and mako sharks are the only ones who bite people.

[TheCarbonSnake]

@richdolanski no reef sharks hammers do aswel

[the4gears]

they are harmless but they cud eat u by mistake coz they swim with there mouths open. they are not aggresive in anyway!

[fishheadsandtails]

@the4gears I'd be SO mad if I was accidently eaten!

[imapurexx]

fuck me i live in scotland and i never throught there was sharks, im never going in water again

[gshdrums]

@imapurexx you have more chance of being killed by a spider, these dont even have teeth

[DiiscoLiights]

I dont want to sound stupid but do basking sharks eat you? :L x

[matmanx2]

Reportedly quite harmless. But lemme tell ya, they look damn big close up!! :-}

[DiiscoLiights]

Haha Thanks :L

[AndersonFamily12]

@DiiscoLiights nope they are filter feeders they feed off of plankton or krill mabye like other whales (there not sharks)

[liamondo3]

WOW BIG FUCKING DEAL

Scotland's shores are swarming with baskings, their big aye but they don't attack people so who cares?
