Cool shark video. Curious if anyone has read THE ICE GORILLA book? Rumor has it Hollywood is looking at THE ICE GORILLA and trying to turn the book into a movie. Does anyone know this to be true???? Thx
@Suppressingfire This Greenland shark is as mellow as can be, I think the diver is overreacting and possibly urinated in his suit, which attracted the shark in the first place. I hate it when they try to make sharks out as horrible brutes but I guess spreading fear sells.
@dutchfreeheel Presently people consider the Greenland shark as a harmless fish, because it is assumed it mainly feeds on dead animals. But this video is from 1996. Greenland sharks had been studied very little in their natural habitat. All we knew about their feeding behaviour was practically based on the examination of the stomach contents. Because people found the remains of big animals like seals, biologist believed the Greenland shark could possibly be dangerous towards humans.
@dutchfreeheel Greenland Shark eats meat, and guess what the diver is made from. Perhaps he looked like a seal if the Shark can see at all with the parasite in it's eye. Write it down with a pen, carnivores eat meat, not plants. If you saw that 7 meter thing coming towards you, you'd consider too that if you get into it's mouth, you're not coming out. Sharks are not something to be feared, but they're not something to be complacent about. They can kill you.
They can live up to 200 years, which is fcking amazing! Maybe this shark was born 1895 and still swims around here :D Dear god.
