No doubt... Hers are bigger than mine!

spare a thought for the camera man .... even bigger I reckon

Id get in any day ! what an experience !!!

Like circus tigers, that shark was in a drug-induced stupor (in addition to having just been fed two seals and half a walrus). While it remains dubious that they have a gentle side, they certainly have massive jaws with jagged teeth that are designed (and used) for killing anything that resembles food or an outboard engine. The videos that show the world the virtues of the great departed leader Kim Jong-il are hence more credible than this Joseph Goebbels-inspired eco-propaganda. If you want to "save"the oceans, start by not feeding your cat (aka "bird killer") cans of depleted ocean resources (i.e fish that are somehow deemed less worthy of life).

I love it. Let's kill heaps of other fish, feed the great white until it's full then swim with it to prove it's harmless and we should protect all living creatures.
On another note, did anyone attend the peaceful paddle for sharks in Perth the other week? If yes I was just wondering what the bbq tasted like after? A mate of mine went and said "come down, they have a free bbq at the end!" **** those hippies are stupid.
Red thumb away

Pretty impressive. I particularly like how they got an expert opinion in these matters, to help give the story credibility:

"Sydney Sea Life Aquarium aquarist Amy Wilkes said that swimming with great white sharks was clearly a dangerous proposition."

Was that blonde hair I noticed?

Great Whites are ruthless killers & predators that is their DNA but like most wild animal they only kill when they hungry and not for the pleasure of the kill. That woman took a calculated risk and she made great news, but could have quite easily turned into a "Siegfried and Roy" moment.

Reminds me of that guy who got too close to some polar bears and wanted to cuddle them cause they are your friend... just another dumb idea

I think what she is advocating is the role sharks play in keeping our oceans filled with life.

How does something that eats large amounts of fish and marine mammals "fill the oceans with life"? Indeed, similar to industrial-scale fishing, large predatory sharks profoundly deplete "less awesome" forms of marine life.

Shark numbers may be on the decline but definitely not great whites and tigers! They are healthier than ever and their population is continuing to grow :)

Its only thanks to modern technology that we'll see a lot more of them.

In fact great whites are an endangered species and there population is less than 3500 in total and declining.

Oh feck, here we go again. You and who counted them. You sure it wasnt 3501. What a load of BS.

Do some research there is plenty of info on net from reliable sources before you start shooting off the BS rant. By the way can you give an accurate human world population down to the last person good luck with that one.

Actually on my last count there was 3558. Get your facts right man!

Great to see someone is out there counting them I prefer to spend my time kiting
