[Wafflepal]

Basking sharks are scary! They're the only shark, next to frilled sharks, that I'm afraid of.

[metaldragon3303]

Cool! I thought they were bigger than that though.

[livroxx30]

[LemmingD84]

One look at a Basking Shark and you can see how incredibly old this species is. So amazing. I hope they'll stop haunting him so much. They're so rare creatures already.

[RedskinsRock13]

gentle giant

[Marrodamaan]

OMG HE ATTACKING??

[iamafattieful]

if he was attacking he'd be swimming INTO the boat o..o

[whalelover1231]

they are harmless! the only thing they attack is krill and itty bitty ocean animals

[AlbanianSoldier7]

@Marrodamaan No lol basking sharks don't even eat humans. They don't even have teeth.

[whalelover1231]

they dont eat humans! a hamster can hurt u more than that shark

[samdewfoo]

he attack the boat! Kill the fucking bastard before he kills humans

DOES HE SPIT OR SWALLOW?

[Ahya728]

they don't kill, they eat planktons, that's why it has no sharp teeth

[samdewfoo]

YEA HE KILL THE BOAT

[Ahya728]

[PopArt4]

Easy there, Mr. Cousteau- they eat plankton.

[whalelover1231]

[xxfluffyxx1]

[SnazzyLion]

No. They're extremely docile filter feeders.

[1Morey]

[retinchet]

It looks just like a great white shark from the top.

[scrambler95]

[SnazzyLion]

Yep, right after the Whale Shark, which is also a filter feeder.

[TheFlipKids]

[lewisisdaman]

[coolpenguinmandelux]

Wow! i bet thats scary i would be screaming if i was in the water with one of those! DX

[KKhorse11]

[slashjeffhardy]

Yea I go surfing in a place in ireland and they have been seen there loads of times. Would freak me out to see them though! Big Fish!!

[1897i]

[Tyranitar635]

[FunnyChurroKid]

[pbdude725]

[blackrazor39]

i wouldnt b one of the ppl at the bottom part of the boat O.O

[TheTrueTobi]

basking sharks are one of the most harmless sharks of all, so it wont bother u even if u were at the bottom part of the boat :D

[HowDaddyIsDoing]

but...those kids look SO delicious! i'd go carnivorous for them.

[TheTrueTobi]

well too bad! i already ate them! lol

[HowDaddyIsDoing]

ha! i just found out they had the Bird-Flu. sucker!

[TheTrueTobi]

bird-flu adds flavor! >:D

[HowDaddyIsDoing]

it won't be tasting so good for long, my friend...muhahahahahahahaha!

[TheTrueTobi]

nooo! DX

[kungfuramonepunk]

yeah thats right man, cos im always attackin people cos im mistakin them for food, you fuckin woofter

[punkjake]

Hahahaha owned!

[OverusedChewToy]

"Nearly extinct? Wow, such ignorance.

I was fishing off Cape Cod last year and we saw 10 of them in one day."

It's too bad animals of the same species tend to hang around the same environments and thus would be encountered more frequently within these. If you really want to challenge the idea that they are endangered, give actual statistics on objective numbers, not personal anecdotes that are based on a faulty use of induction.

[masenkosabo]

If you're saying they're not nearly extinct based on your 10 in one day day experience then you're the one who is ignorant. You could be looking at 50% of all that is left. Not probable or even possible but you get the idea.

Im on either side btw!

[allugyzrf4gs]

Basking Sharks are the 2nd largest shark in the world, 1st being the Whale Shark

[legion22NO]

erm, no.

1st Whale Shark

2nd Basking Shark

[Dwarfieboy]

Lol, isn't that exactly what he said?

[gina0o]

kool.

[Goldenhawk47]

they are harmless if you leave them alone.

[gruzman]

HOLY SHIT!

[potoduck]

Nearly extinct? Wow, such ignorance.

I was fishing off Cape Cod last year and we saw 10 of them in one day.

[megashorts]

That's one huge Goldfish there!

[kimmylikepink]

i did not see it

[ilikepiex101]

how could u not c it??

[AFROMANFAN]

ahah wtf is this guy on

[directorinthechair]

Well it is a basking shark its scientific name is Cetorhinus Maximus, they are non agressive and feed off plankton blooms and jellyfish of the UK (common in Cornwall)Well they can HURT people whne people touch them they get an abrassion and also they have sunk hunter boats.

[summonthygod]

look at the size of that cunt

[nintendogz8]

im realy good at facts about animals i say that the shark at cornwall is a baskin shark if mour come where doombed but only if its a great white

[Sabbyishere]

It's only a sterotype that a great white will attack at first site, they normally dont attack unles they mistake you for food, just like you would if you mistake something for food

[avanzatotrxx]

I mistook a shoe for a can of spaghetti the other week. Luckily I only ate half of it!

[Sabbyishere]

Thats just be a idiot

[liltwang]

me fail english? thats unpossible!

[Sabbyishere]

O_o

[dodgepatriot]

try more like 13.7 meters

[1234alex1234]

As far as I know, the largest shark that'd attack a human is a great white and they tend to only be 7 metres. Basking sharks I think can grow up to ten metres.

[RobTheGamer]

Yeah, basking shark. Completely non-agressive and nearly extinct thanks to the Canadian Fishery and the like. They don't even have teeth for christ's sake.

[SamJay57]

I'd hate to be in the water with that swimming around!

[x0xHazzx0x]

i would be pooping myself!

[Terryboc1]

nice shots-we see them now and then on Jefferies Ledge north of the Cape. It is thrilling when one comes up under boat and you realize the shark is bigger than your boat!

[rorrey]

im gonna upload my video with the mega mouth shark these 2 divers were diving with

[rorrey]

yup its a basker

[annointer]

Even if they are gentle giants i'd still be terrified to see that huge mouth coming towards me.

[joshimoro]

Big fucking shark

[TO220740]

I think it is a basking shark (the wide head kind of says it).

[hanna00tia]

yeah, basking shark... now I remember. Thanks :)
