Basking Sharks

[redninety555]

These are the reasons I am terrified of the ocean. They may be harmless but they scare the f**k out of me.

@redninety555 Grow a set then.

[redninety555]

@DirtyAssassin1 Aye, no need to be like that.

I would freak out if I saw a Basking Shark, they maybe gentle giants, but still its like a billion times bigger than me *shudder*

[AnInvisibleFan]

It's hilarious how ignorant so many people are - "omg wtf it'll eat you alive!!!"

*Sigh*.

[CurlyVogel]

That is so creepy but so beautiful at the same time!

Thank you very much

[Kimberleg]

such beautiful creatures ... I would love to go to South Africa and go shark-cave diving to see a Great White or a shar of that nature anyway. They are so awesome these creatures - I love them!

[Grunge4ever]

if youve seen a shark it is probably a basking shark i've lived here for years and never seen anything else

[enjoichris411]

Baskings are awesome they rock, i would love to swim with one. i go to cornwall every year and i think ive seen one im not sure though

[QRTrojans]

basking sharks are big, but harmless

[aidanearl]

it wouldnt eat you,its a basking shark they eat plankton,unless your plankton?

[bluenote71]

Even though I know they only eat plankton, I'd still have a heart attack and die if I was to see one of those while swimming in the ocean.

[caliphornia]

sick? that's how they survive, that's not sick. go open your mouth really wide and look in the mirror, it's not much prettier i asure you.

[myjugsarehuge]

I would love to see one, what beautiful creatures

[gina54]

Beautiful creature?Dude that thing would eat you alive! And it never closes its mouth and you can see its bones when he has it open..Sick dude

[myjugsarehuge]

Basking sharks only eat plankton, perhaps you're confusing them with Great Whites.

Question: since when do "Dudes" have huge jugs! Just curious

[Kimberleg]

The basking shark would NOT eat you alive. It has no teeth for starters!! Its mouth is always wide open like that so it can catch loads of plankton, which is the only food it eats. Kinda like a whale

[minwoo503]

true.

[39penrose]

fantastic, I have only ever seen them from shore, great to see them up close.

You have to love those big baskers. It appears those people had an experience they won't soon forget.
