UK Shark is bigger than a Great White - Sharks - BBC

[johntkucz]

@dionstrezlecki lmao!!! It still seems like a poor/odd analogy.

[Medvediu1]

KILL IT WITH FIRE !

[Pro13east]

Get them down Cornwall i love them beautiful.

And its a KAYAK, not a CANOE

[junkmanu2]

if it was a great white, he would shit in his pants !!!

[SandyInspired95]

Wow,that scared me!

[Cleopatra7899]

surprised he didn't sink from the size of his balls.

[mschicka922]

its funny, the only reason people clicked on this video is because people were exspecting a man eating shark. im surprised there not much hate... ;)

[mr1000rx]

my mother in-law was swallowed by one last week. Yay!!

[ShutUpFoolStudios]

Basking shark!

[legoben8]

i would be scared of what was watching below!

[ditta123321]

They ARE harmless but you cant say that youre not afraid of them!

[lucyksmiley]

@ditta123321

Well you can say cuz im not because they only eat microscopic plankton so its kinda complicated i would only be scared if it though i was microscopic plankton but im not so u can say ur not afraid because they aren't man eaters so u have no reason to be afraid x

[ditta123321]

@lucyksmiley Know but still. Its big, man xD

[lucyksmiley]

@ditta123321

WIN!

[naviilma]

What a ugly mofo!

[TamilianPonnu]

Hey, this is not a Great White! This is called the Basking Shark! They are harmless and they don't hurt people physically! I think its the second largest fish in the world! They feed on zooplankton! It has a huge mouth with no teeth!

[BabyBooBrewer]

ok lets look at this for real... that bitch can swallow you in one gulp... im gonna stay out of the ocean... i have really bad luck with it anyway

[gary608608608]

Basking shark

[TristenTheGreat]

Id chuck a chuck noris and jump into it's mouth and rip it's heart out and eat it

[GreenDay3213]

I want to climb into its mouth and pretend i have its body

[Charliefletch]

hehe. i love real big shit eatin little stuff

[Nadesiko85]

@Charliefletch Lol! We could be considered "little" :D

[carlogwapo1234]

its a great gay shark...hahahha

[sitydawg]

dude has BALLS

[killerluuk]

just wanna say:nom nom nom nom nom

[callouschristian]

What a life those sharks have. Coast to coast over and over again.

[blackpeter70]

It's mouth reminds me of my ex's mouth. Always open, and takes on all comers. They should re-name it the Peter's Ex Shark.

[shaldana]

@blackpeter70

No idea who you are, but that cracked me up. Thanks for my daily laugh. :P

[CityLights452]

The difference between a Kayak and a Canoe... Kayaks you observe the fishies from above the water. Canoes you're swimming with them... (This is not a Canoe bash! I love Canoes a lot more than Kayaks... I just know the difference between them and that Canoes are far more likely to tip...)

[mmmbilly39]

@CityLights452 what a load of tripe. 'canoes you're swimming with them'???? Anyway, a kayak is a canoe.

[JonRossBrooker]

Knowing my luck I'll see a shark and say "Oh hey, a Basking shark!" Then I'll swim up to it and it'll turn out to be a Great White and bite me in half.

[phadds3caps]

gosh that's a basking shark! Hello! They are completely harmless, threy don't have any teeth!!!!

[azzerrrr]

hey wheres plankton?

[jamesadams117]

Ive been in the water when one of these has swam past near Croyde Bay. I knew it was a Basking Shark but I still shit myself and ran out the water just incase

[kevleisa]

@jamesadams117 i would to they do look scarey

[XxbattlefieldxX3]

@jamesadams117 LOL!

[KKbrazil]

@jamesadams117 you are right! We never know what to expect from wild animals! I would do the same!

[Honeysucklebommie]

@jamesadams117 I'd be a  basket case too.

[MRSWEETNES1]

this is basking shark..they don't attack humans at all

[IKiDPRoDiGYx]

i dont care if that thing is harmless i wud be scarded shitless being anywhere near that.

[Superlagg]

Thinkin' a kayak's a canoe? You better believe that's a paddlin'.

[cuteface114]

Why the fuck are the biggest and second biggest sharks the most harmless? Paradox.

[sharks2find18]

@cuteface114 because bigger isn't always better, just because something is gigantic doesn't mean it's deadly. Look at whales.

[cuteface114]

@sharks2find18 touche! But is harmless better? wooooOOOooooooOo!!! haha, I see what you mean though. Good point!

[tromarcsente]

thats the basking shark... its obviously bigger than the great white

[tromarcsente]

thats the basking shark...

[ToastedRose]

English dude, that's a kayak.

[hoody123321]

Somebody tell him he's in a KAYAK, not a CANOE!

[kaega2]

@hoody123321 A Kayak IS a canoe. Someone calling a Kayak a canoe is the same as calling a shark a fish.

[timwood70]

@hoody123321 haha I was just about to comment "OFC its bigger than your cannon.... because it doesn't exist >.> god dam noob"

[Superbowl96]

0:30 That's what she said xD

[VERYevilVIDEOop]

@Superbowl96 no

[Superbowl96]

@VERYevilVIDEOop Um.....yes

[cocobombobo]

"...this shark is completely harml-" *shark bashes him out of his boat and swallows him whole*

[oepolish]

@cocobombobo lol it started buffering right at that moment

[timwaltham]

what model kayak is that ?

[tebowisgay]

bigger is better no not this time

[SurfTrainingSecrets]

Incredible, most people would freak the f out even if it is a Gentle Giant.

[DustBunnyPr0ducti0ns]

wow cool a basking shark! how awesome wish i was there!!! i envy some of these people.

[gmwarriorx]

Oh one of them basking shark mofos.

[soberorhigh]

it eats plankton and small fish its really cool though

[mstrblik]

meh...just a basking shark..nothing to worry about

[geppegep]

deepthroat shark

[217Legendary]

Might be bigger... but not deadlier

[SnedorKeeb08]

it's a whale shark, and they get a lot bigger than that one.

[hildegain]

@SnedorKeeb08 Basking Shark actually, Whale sharks are bigger, have wide mouths and spots covering their body.

[SnedorKeeb08]

@hildegain

well, even if it isn't a whale shark, it might as well , or at least it's brother, because it's huge and only eats plankton....

[hildegain]

@SnedorKeeb08 Except that they're not even closely related and don't look alike at all.

[BesTQu1cKSc0PeZ]

O it's just a calm peaceful......... Shark jumps up and attacks him* guy: HOLY SHIT GET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING WATER NOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[j2112c]

It tastes like chicken.

[MizzXander]

isnt that a whale shark?????

[jtcf1992]

@MizzXander its a baskin shark

[madguineapig53]

i dont care how harmless it is there is no whay im gonna be in a canoe next to that thing

[hildegain]

@madguineapig53 Don't be such a baby, it's even less aggressive than a puppy :)

[TheCallofdutyita]

This isn't a WHITE SHARK!

[biggerthanyou79]

@TheCallofdutyita where does it say its a white shark?......

[TheCallofdutyita]

@biggerthanyou79 in Title

[biggerthanyou79]

@TheCallofdutyita it doesnt say its a white shark, it says its bigger than one. fail

[hildegain]

@TheCallofdutyita No-one said it was, someone needs to pay attention.

[leighlvejohn48]

Thats crazy!!

[sexysteveontour10]

There fucking harmless compared to great whites 

[jaimeeknapp1o1]

wat a dumb ass to go up to a shark :/

[TheNajACi]

the bassking dumbasses

[leukorrivore]

Apparently even someone who got sucked into the mouth of a whale shark got out unharmed. When you think about it, it makes sense for something big to be a grazer; elephants, rhinoceroses, whales, giraffes...

[MrDleon89]

Hate this flake commercial

[danno700]

What a pussy. If I was the second biggest fish in the world, I'd swallow up EVERYONE. I'd wait by beaches and gobble people up just to be a douche. U mad, swimmers?

[TheOtherLioyd]

@danno700 Bragging about being a dick doesn't make you edgy.

[callmemarcer]

Thats not a canoe!!?? thats a kayak! cant take him seriously now!

[bob1you0]

it completely harmless what if you make it mad

[WinxGirl1766137]

I've always wanted to see a basking shark in real life. They're so beautiful.

[DanielRoyFagan]

my girlfirend looks like that sometimes...

[83kaly]

when i read the title i thought of texas cause everything is bigger in texas lol XD

[brentzittel]

" Incase you're wondering why I'm so relaxed, its because I took a shit ton of xanax before filming this.

[Meko5]

Look at that NOSE!

HachachaCHAAAA!

[FlameLover1003]

The guy who's filming is in the biggest fuckin boat he could find and is expecting to see a jaws reenactment any second.

[thevampirediariesftw]

I've always wondered how humans found out which sharks were harmless and which sharks killed people. What did they do? "Oh yup, Joe we're just gonna get you to swim up to that shark and see what happens." Like seriously? I want to know hahahahahahaha

[marinefish321]

yes sharkgirl2, but there are good shark attack sites and videos on the net too. My favorite is the likesharks site. They have research on each species and shark dive encounter videos. They also have lots of shark attack footage. Type likesharks into google and its the first one.

[TVconnectionofficial]

and now i feel like surfing

[joonte1010]

We have sharks like that around Scandinavia aswell... UK shark my ass, lol

[MICKYMAVYT]

West of Scotland is the best place to see these guys.

[emmalovestw]

if i was in that boat, i would literally shit myself on the spot, even though i knoew it cant hurt me, just the size of it is enough to make me scared just watching this..

[josevanreyes]

lol UK have shit wildlife

[xvanyrocks]

@dancer11el Stfu, it's real.

[Australiansmate]

ahh soo we meet again 240p

[palador76]

i went swimming with them while i was in mexico they are completely harmless and beautiful creatures

[turkish1knight]

now i get it. Fish move their tales left to right. Mammals(whales, dolphins etc) go up and down.

[jsmallwood2007]

@turkish1knight Thanks !! It is nice to know how ocean creatures structure their stories... I didn't even realize they told tales...The amazing things we learn on the internet !

[Andymannitro]

iv read abut this shark apperintly a few years ago only a few had been seen

[MrSisscorFight]

its a mega mouth shark.... one of the rarest sharks alive....

[JimmyPageIsALegend]

@MrSisscorFight Well, it's not. It's a basking shark.

[Willyhboi]

@MrSisscorFight It's a basking shark. I've seen them for myself in Cornwall.

[MrAPEMothership08]

Why is it remarkable that it's bigger than a white shark? The biggest animals in the world, like whales etc are all considerably larger than predators like orca or white sharks.

[gfrica]

@MrAPEMothership08 Well, I think the reason it's interesting is because this one was found in the UK, where Sharks, or any big fish at all, aren't really the everyday sight in your sunday swimming trip.

[templarknight94]

@gfrica I see sharks all the time here, you get around 21 species of shark in the UK, and some (including the basking shark in this video) are in residence here all year round.

[iBitTheRAINBOW]

harmless or not i still be so scared he said extremly large mouth

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@iBitTheRAINBOW Its harmless, although the sight of that gaping mouth behind me or infront of me would certainly scare the hell out of me if i dove near one.

[RuinedLemon]

I would have crapped my pants, harmless or not

[ubersum1]

@RuinedLemon yup same here lmao

[love63841259]

Lucky guy.



[BMTHRULE1]

if it had teeth you'd shit your pants.

[Edmart3ROBLOX]

Me:*Swims infront of a GIANT basking shark thats 30 feet long and 15 feet wide*

Shark:*Sucks him in mistaking him for an EXTREMELY oversized plankton*

Me:*Glub glub glub* (AHHHHHHHH!!!!)

[jerking2011]

@Edmart3ROBLOX oh ur cool.

[anglotedesco]

is a basking shark,does not attack man

[HMWGaminggod]

This is what I've done all day. Drank tea, eat Shitty Snackrite crisp whilst watching shark vids. Yep typical lazy day ;)

[oahusquid]

YouTube...oahusquid....check out the HUGE tiger shark my son (15) and I encountered while spearfishing in Hawaii last month.

[JesusCommando]

Harmless they may be but if I were swimming around and one of these things brushed past my leg I'd absolutely shit myself! And so would you.

[Livelavalive274]

Basking shark

[Kiderm]

Your shark !Goddamn it!

[slinkiwaffel]

"that shark is completely harmless"

*other shark jumps onto boat and kills him*

[killerthymes]

i knew that as soon as i lookedd at it

[nextlifearotti]

not sure I agree with the final comment on the clip...about it being sometimes confused with a Great White. If you've ever seen a Great White, you don't mistake it for anything else but aren't these wonderful creatures? If you like these, have a look at the Whale Shark...largest ever recorded was 41.5ft and 36tonne. I'd be happy to see either!

[sharkladyindisguise]

Basking Sharks.

Ugliest beasties ever.

[xfTrIcKsHoTx]

I will never swim next to this shark because like it got small teeth it doesn't matter because that shark could just suck you in his mouth!!!

[1stjew]

The lockness monster?

[phucky0o]

@ 0:28 "thats what she said"

@ 0:30 "thats what she said"

[jamestherandomer]

Basking sharks are pussiez

[IchHasseSchwarze]

um there not only in uk

[XStephXCainX]

@IchHasseSchwarze He knows there not only in the uk ...he is just saying they swim around the uk.

[TheXXRunnerXX]

those dont even have teeth i would hop in and swim with that thing!

[1SavageMiss]

@TheXXRunnerXX Actually they do have teeth, but very small and yeah I'd also swim with one :) Beautiful creatures.

[aceguyish]

i sailed by one of those on my yacht in scotland

[HappinessChaos]

if i saw that beside me in the water i would pee myself

[pants735]

These can also be seen of the north devon coast

[rachellelovexo]

you're* gonna need a bigger boat. not your. GEEEEESHHH. sorry...

[DJCHAPPORIXX]

56 people were attacked by sharks

[oahusquid]

YouTube...oahusquid...check out the HUGE tiger shark my son (15) and I encountered while spearfishing in Hawaii 7/24/11.

[aaron9099]

"I don't care if it doesn't have an appetite for my tender joints, I want something bigger than a FUCKING CANOE!!!!"

-The presenter 5 minutes before filming.

[Shadowassasin14]

@aaron9099 That would be my reaction too. XD

[2Haytham2]

Im a Morman

[overcastkid721]

aww thats nothing to be afraid of :)

[TheHaydz242]

The shark he's watching is harmless, The only way it can kill you is if you swim in front of it and it sucks you in it's mouth like a hoover.

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@TheHaydz242 And then it will spit you out.

[IDontCare704]

@TheHaydz242 Still, it's not all about how dangerous it is and how much at risk you are. It's still a really cool experience. I mean, I'm going swimming with dolphins next summer. Is it because they're dangerous? No.

[TheHaydz242]

@IDontCare704 errrrm, get your facts fight, Dolphins are dangerous, they can kill sharks.

And dolphins have been known to attack humans, so. come back when you know about dolphins a little bit

better. _l_-(-_-)-_l_

[IDontCare704]

@TheHaydz242 Hey, I'm not hating, just saying. And if you read my comment again, you'll see that I didn't write that dolphins aren't dangerous.

Come back when you learn to read.

PS. How do you get your "facts fight"?

[befto]

@MrKingy1978. Ireland is not part of the UK. Your a retard. Also, just because it is called the irish sea does not make it all irish, there are international boundry lines and given that there is very little distance between UK and the republic of ireland i doubt there is any international or high seas

[bigcrayola]

@befto northern ireland is

[baseballkidmw2]

It's a basking shark it's found in the us too

[futurestarryeyed]

I went on holiday to a place common for sharks and spent almost all of my holiday trying to spot it. It was 2 weeks long and i didn't see a single one

[leontrotsky911]

great white is more africa or australia and basket sharks as he says is off the west coast of britian which is called the irish sea making it irish since there all around the island of ireland so your info sucks.american sharks are tiger sharks

[MrKingy1978]

@leontrotsky911 ireland is part of the uk



[hopekee]

@MrKingy1978 watch out for the IRA

[legoboy1234567890]

What if it farted?!?!?!?

[Zamorakzkill]

Imagine at 0:40 BAM A GREAT WHITE TAKES HIM OUT FUCK YEAHHH AMERICAAAAA

[xomaasielxo]

That shark can swallow that small ass canoe, IDGAF if its harmless or what! ill use the titanic to see that shit!

[ShorifAndiMev2010]

its Not Considerd Shark ATTACK If You're in their turf, If the shark comes in you're shower and nips you on the shoulder thats Considered a SHARK ATTACK

Think About IT

[1tacoman17]

bigger than a great white.... oh god.... it must be.... oh no.... a basking shark! For the love of God nooooooo!

[Cancandylicious]

its longer than my..... canoe xD 00:28

[YouCanCallMeReTro]

it's just a whale shark... obviously bigger than a great white but as harmless as a fly.

[PLSS]

@YouCanCallMeReTro No, it's a basking shark. Whale sharks are way bigger and look totally different.

[YouCanCallMeReTro]

@PLSS whatever. both are big and harmless

[oahusquid]

YouTube....oahusquid...check out the HUGE tiger shark my son (15) and I encountered while spearfishing in Hawaii 7/24/11.

[Nicoloismyfriend]

Omg your all idiots a dog is more dangerous than this kind of shark
