  • Very cool, cleary defined by its long whip-like tail...and it seemed to be scared of the diver. And for you saps saying that was fake, you're very stupid! Its movements are smooth, fluid and graceful and its impossible for any machine to perform perfectly the way it darted away from the diver and swam away.

  • @Karrigan117

    I think it was spooked when it came too close to us. They are very shy.

    Anyone says that it is a machine ..well, he/she must be watching too much movie !!

  • are the aggresive?

  • @gshdrums

    I don't think so.  Rather sad.

  • Freaky ? Not really. Beautiful yes.

    Look at his or her face ( didn't have chance to ask ) and you will see such a cute animal. Mind you, the tail does pack an awesome punch but I doubt strong enough to hurt a diver.

  • @redwhaleshark

    I agree wholeheartedly with you

  • That tail could pack one hell of a bitch slap. :P

  • Thresher's, though not intentionally, have been known to decapitate sailors looking too far over the boat when one swims by too close to the shore. The tail is thin and the shark is capable of moving at great speeds, so yeah, I'd say it's strong enough to hurt a diver.

  • lol it's camera shy ^_^

  • Definitly not fake! Awesome video of a rarely filmed shark. Not aggressive by any means, but still keep your distance as with any shark.  Blue sharks have teeth too although rarely bite people. Tagging this animal would be awesome for thresher science

  • Threshers have always been my favorite, so beautiful.

  • 0:08 in my opinion the best part of this video

  • @ajsk8r99

    And why exactly would that be cool? Seems like it's more scared of the diver than the diver is of him, and not at all aggressive.

  • should have shot a harpoon through its head, now that would have been real cool.

  • It got scared away

    When you pissed your suit

  • beautiful creature isnt it?
