Shark Charges Swimmer

It looks to me to be a hammerhead shark, possibly around 8 feet(?) long.

And that's why it doesn't matter if you can feel or see the bottom or you can't.

I'll bet shillings to pence that the fella in the video had just had a wee in the water and that's what attracted the Noah's Ark in the first place. ;)

Pay no attention to the clickbait thumbnail; the video itself is pretty interesting.

5 Most Mysterious and and unexplained Sea Creatures

IMO, the most interesting is #1, at 7:14 in the video.

That footage was captured by Japanese scientists near the Mariana Trench, and it captures a shark that is estimated to be between 30 to 50 feet long. As shown in the second video I've posted below, some estimate it to be 60 feet long. It is most likely a Pacific sleeper shark, but a gigantic one.

Of course, there are whale sharks and basking sharks, but this shark isn't one of those. The longest whale shark ever measured was 60 feet, and the longest basking shark ever measured was 40 feet. But this shark is neither of those.

Whale Swallows 2 People in Kayak

...but spat them out afterwards (not shown)

We're they actually swallowed or only inside its mouth?

Sea Monsters Size Comparison

IMO, at least some of the size differences shown are exaggerated. And I could be wrong, but I didn't think bluefin tuna could reach 19+ feet. If you caught one that big and sold it on the Japanese market, you'd probably be set for life.

Spent my teen Surfing up and down California Coast, and taking chances.

Someone said once light up my brain, there are Old Surfers, Bold Surfers, but no OLD BOLD SURFERS.

Movie CHASING MAVERICKS, was great move about chasing big waves, I am not that nuts.
