  • 6/7 gills, greenlands and sleeper sharks are all pretty similar looking.

    if this is in mexico, it's a 6/7 gill or a sleeper shark. both of which are pretty common at deeper depths.

    if it's anywhere else, it's probably a greenland.

    these sharks are pretty much harmless. dont kill/fin sharks because of what you hear/see on tv or movies. sharks are just as important as any other cuddly critter you probably love. thumbs up for sharks.

  • The Greenland Sharks Distribution is in Canada, Greenland (of cause), Northern Europe, until about southern England, and some of North America, and some dotted around South Africa, and some near New Zealand, but the water in the Gulf Of Mexico wouldn't be suitable for the Greenland Shark, so maybe this isnt even in the Gulf Of Mexico, and its definitely a Greenland shark,

    who cares...it sort of sucks...no it just plain  sucks

  • @JabberCT Don't wanna get close to that kind of shark...cuz he'll take all your Money...! LoL

  • Greenland sharks are in the same genus as sleeper sharks, "Somniosus." which is why they look so much alike.

  • @Coupdmonde at depths of more than 8000 ft. just Google "sleeper shark gulf of mexico" and read on.

  • There are published papers, including one by my shark biology professor, about sleeper sharks being spotted by ROVs at deepwater oil rig sites. this is not a greenland shark. its a sleeper shark.

  • What song is this?

  • @TheJeremy2121 And it's lucky this is youtube and we don't know you irl, or else you would see nobody would ever take you seriously, and look at you with contempt for your blatantly obvious testament of your stupidity. I really hope you are 13 or younger, or else you have no hope.

  • That thing aint giant

  • Its a loan shark.

  • Looks like like a greenland shark
