hi last week a (basking shark) was seen off camp bay gibraltar but diffrent organisations had diffrent opinions now can anybody tell me if the fin of a basking shark is similar to that of a great white

[jizza777]

that things still spooky to me haha <3 u sharkie! 

[zedjunertadlip123]

i found basking shark in pacific ocean while where field trip can someone discover the goblin shark

[benvtucker15]

What music have you used as the background? Its eerily haunting

[divedan]

More vids coming soom of more baskers.

Does anyone think its possible that a white shark could be off the coast of Cornwall? I hope they could be there but, from what I understand, whites are very sensitive to pollution in water. Would they really hang around in water that is so dirty?

[klauwn17]

technicly white sharks could be off the cornish coast, they got all they need. in fact even the temperature of the waters wuld be ideal. but it seems as there wouldn't be white sharks for some reason.

[CwalkerSquibb]

To be honest any shark is scary to see xD i don't care what shark it is still scary. I like the hammer head shark they own

[Andyfly55]

Check out the sun footage of the family filming a 'Great White'. Judging by the shape of the dorsal fin Im guessing its a basking shark. (Not the other attacking footage, Not sure what that is)

[bryUK]

The Sun's footage is definitely a Basking Shark, and its not the first time they've done this. Quite a few years ago they had a photo of what they claimed to be possible Great White lurking just under the service which was also a Basking Shark.

You'll note the Sun is actually crafty in forming it into a question. "Britain's First Killer Shark?" etc.

They've also disabled comments. Wonder why. :P

[youriding16]

The other attacking footage is likely to be a Mako, or a porbeagle which is a cousin of the great white, porbeagles are timid creatures so no worries =] although mako's are dangerous and unpredictable, they can also swim up to 55 mph making them the fastest sharks.

crap mi mates goin to corn wall and she might go to that beach owell never

[thisblackheart]

I LEARNT HOW TO SPELL TEETH!!!!

[JudderMan25]

Wow, they're so cool.

I know they're docile creatures that wouldn't attack humans, but say if you jumped on it's face and started punching it repeatedly, would it retaliate in anyway?

[PriincessBetziixo]

I Agreee! :D

[FyesanFan]

nope....because it has no teeth...its very similar to a baleen whale

[BeckaOTD]

how big can those sharks grow??

[bryUK]

Normally about 26ft long, but the largest ever recorded was just over 40ft long.

Its the 2nd largest species of fish in the world.

The only thing larger is the Whale Shark, another harmless plankton feeder.

[hidirx89]

nooo, blue whale is the biggest

[bryUK]

The Blue Whale isn't a fish. ;)

[thisblackheart]

yeah but if u saw it u may not know it was a basking shark even then! how can u tell?

Have basking sharks ever tried like sucking on a human? they have no teef right?

[megzyla]

no they dont have any 'teef' (please learn how to spell lol) they are filter feeder and they eat zooplankton, small fish and invertebrates.

they would also have no interest in eating humans

[jason9098]

i no there harmless but if i saw that in the sea i wouldnt hesitate in shitting myself lol
