everyone in this video has high pitch voices its annoying

xXToraKobayashiXx - 6 years ago

How scared the people are, they maybe should have payed more attention in biology class.

Dev Callen - 6 years ago

cuz I saw in billschannel he said it's not a basking shark it's baby great white shark

Dev Callen - 6 years ago

this is not a basking shark is a baby great white shark

Eric Sprague - 6 years ago

That's definitely a basking shark - at 0:24 you can see it with its mouth open, filter-feeding. Also, as a rough gauge of size, if the man in the kayak is 180cm, then the kayak is probably around 3m, making the shark 6-8m in length, which would be record-setting for a great white. It's getting close to the recorded maximums for a basking shark, even - that's a large mature adult.

areeb1296 - 7 years ago

I know they're harmless to humans but if I encountered one I'd be scared shitless because of how large they are.
Would have the same reaction to whales and Orcas.

Comrade Ivan Ivanov Ivanovich - 7 years ago

So you spend 30 seconds recording fucking nothing but cut the camara when shit starts happening

Evelyn Garcia - 7 years ago

Malachi Viloria - 7 years ago

Nale Gaming - 7 years ago

Basking sharks are friendly why do you stop recording?

Xero Media - 8 years ago

i thought that the shark was small andnthem boom then the kayak came in then i realized that shark is huge.

Kiyoko Mori - 8 years ago

Basking sharks are harmless to humans. They are filter feeders. In fact the shark probably didn't care the kayak was there at all.

derik yolk - 7 years ago

Kiyoko Mori yeah but there terrifyingly massive

ASSASSINPEAR _14 - 8 years ago

FanGirls2000 aliezah juarez - 7 years ago

They probably thought it was a real shark. Sense humans I think are kown to sharks as "scary" sea creatures that eat humans. Because they said "Look out!" "Look out!!". But that's just my hypothesis.

MSJ Gaming - 8 years ago

greenshot321 - 8 years ago

its a basking shark, eats plankton, keeps its mouth open while swimming, filters threw 1,000 gallons of water, and is endangered but is harmless. It would even change its path if you went right infront of it. - did a project on it yesterday yw

Is that really a basking shark

Incipio OG - 8 years ago

+csJuliaNN Not really.It is one but most are WAY bigger and are a differentiated shade of beige. This one might be a young one,so it makes sense why he would doubt that it really is one.

csJuliaNN - 8 years ago

+ahmad shah looks pretty much like one

Blanca yescas - 8 years ago

Taylan Lawrence - 8 years ago

that type of shark has no teeth it is a filter feeder like a whale it couldn't hurt a human

nollieflipcrook - 7 years ago

Of Legend I Am Born he was being sarcastic

Of Legend I Am Born - 8 years ago

+Exitoz
"Yeah a whale can't hurt a human. Idiot"

First off, whale shark, not whale. That aside, saying an animal as big as a bus and weighing up to 20 tons can't harm a human is the idiotic thing. There will always be the chance of such a huge animal accidentally smacking some moron diver with a tail, brushing up against a boat out of curiosity and turning it over, who knows. These are wild animals and there will always be some measure of unpredictability associated with them.

Believing they will always be docile, will continue swimming a certain path, whatever, and thinking you are perfectly safe is the moronic thing to do. It's one of the reasons you should stay away from whales (yes, actual whales this time). They may be "gentle giants", but every great once in a while something goes wrong.

Lisa - 8 years ago

If I was in the water and didn't see whale shark spots I would not think basking shark

Exitoz - 8 years ago

Yeah a whale can't hurt a human. Idiot

Pyro Dog - 8 years ago

+Caet Gaming lol

Of Legend I Am Born - 8 years ago

Contrary to popular belief basking sharks do, in fact, have teeth. In fact they have hundreds of them.

Caet Gaming - 8 years ago

then theyd probably choke to death.....

CubanAssassin - 8 years ago

+HuntedWolvez they wouldn't eat people unless you decide to swim in their mouths

History507 - 8 years ago

+HuntedWolvez well not swallow because their throats are small

Pyro Dog - 8 years ago

+HuntedWolvez lol!!

HuntedWolvez - 8 years ago

I guess a full grown one could swallow a human on accident but I'm pretty sure they would regurgitate it.

Tiarnan - 8 years ago

That shark is so cool

Odell Beckham Jr. - 9 years ago

You can swim in a basking shark if you wanted

Incipio OG - 8 years ago

and*

Incipio OG - 8 years ago

+LanceG3_GT Its not that weird.They're not that fast amd can only swallow small things,even if they DID want to eat you (which is most likely not the case anyway).

History507 - 8 years ago

+LanceG3_GT despite being big their throats are as big as a grapefruit so i think it could only swallow really small infants but it would most likely spit them out

Hungry Shark World - 9 years ago

It will just turn

Spirit - 9 years ago

The people and children there are fucking STOOPID. Basking sharks eat tiny fish and they eat the ocean filter shit.

aleks8360 - 7 years ago

Spirit they actually don't eat little fish they eat microscopic zooplankton so your are the stuiped one

MarvelousApple - 8 years ago

Says the one who spells 'Stupid' wrong. Got 'em =●=

MeowTasticGamer - 8 years ago

Err... This comment... Pretty sure your the stupid one here. The children, the sound very young, so therefore THEY ARE YOUNG CHILDREN who are learning. 100% bet you would have done that MAYBE if you were there as one of those children the people, they could have never seen that shark. They have no idea if it's harmless. Some of them could... I'm not sure. They said the name yes, but still. There not sure and it's a act of being scare also.

Helgi Jacobsen - 8 years ago

not fish zooplankton

Blanca yescas - 8 years ago

....

Blanca yescas - 8 years ago

yup either the kids who dont know thats a fucking ass giant shark, but is friendly or the idiot who thinks the kids know everything about something when they first see it

Sammy Fash - 8 years ago

This comment makes me wonder who is more stupid?

Edkush - 9 years ago

It was not huge, they can grow to a length of 36 feet

K I B Λ K I - 7 years ago

Longest one was recorded at 40 feet but due to over-fishing and poaching its unlikely we'll see any more of that length

Srsly some people though are just so easily bored if its not a great white or a hammerhead is boring and uninteresting this animal is beautiful and not all sharks have to be the dredd of the deep blue

Brett Raimondo - 10 years ago

They are bigger.

Conor Speckine - 10 years ago

They have to be born. Then they grow. They aren't instantly 10 meters long. This one could be a young basking shark.
