Absolute insanity. One of the cardinal rules of diving is don't touch ( or get too close) to any marine life.

This ranks right up there with something I witnessed in Yellowstone a few years ago. A mother grizzly was walking her two cubs along side the rode. Several cars pulled off the side of the ride for pictures. One tourist, however, got out of his car and started following the cubs at a distance of about 50 feet for, what I guess, was that National Geographic-like photo.

The mother grizzly abruptly turned, stood on her hind legs and growled. It is a wonder she didn't attack. Someone ( :rolleyes: ) reported the license plate of the driver to the park rangers. I heard later the errant photographer was escorted out of Yellowstone.
Hey COLORADO!, have you (or anybody else, for that matter,) ever entertained yerself of that granted slight luxury in life's mental ponderations, in the personal envisioned thought, pertaining to the outright puzzled wonderment those very first red,yellow, black or white skinned feller's was profoundly befuddled with,,,, upon first cutting trail of that YELLOWSTONE A.O. territory?

This shark is named "Deep Blue" and they photographed him near Hawaii He was originally seen 2 decades ago near Mexico,his weight is 2.5 tons and is 20 feet long and he is 50 years old. How they know this is the same shark is they tagged his fin when seen in Mexico

The local news just showed this exact video. They said sharks are no threat to humans, that they have a bad name. A Pitbull has the same reputation. Doesn't mean I'll be petting one in the near future. That lady is literally insane.

Sharks won't mess ya with on most occasions unless you look like a sea lion :laugh:

With that said, if you put me in the open ocean and I had to choose a shark that I wouldn't want there..........I choose the Bull shark. Those guys have the nastiest temperent that I have come across, as far as sharks go.

Bull Sharks and Tiger Sharks are the two breeds that attack people the most and give sharks as a whole a bad rep.

Considering how often my cat has nipped at me for doing that, no way would I pet a great white shark.

20ft long and 7-8 foot thick in the middle?

can you image a bull that big?

5000 lbs EASY

See how those pectoral fins are relatively flat as she is moseying along?

If she drops those fins to a 45 degree angle and starts an exaggerated
zig-zagging swim motion, you better be clear of the water.

:eek:
