OMG it was so scary but so awesome... i dont even scuba dive or anythign like that, i was just on holiday and omg ive had pretty cool animal encounters, like stroking a rhino and Hippo at flamingo land and having a Sparrowhawk land within arms length of me whilst bird Watching in a hide... but shit, i have a fear of the ocean and man that thing was breathtaking

Fishbowl Shark - 6 years ago

He’d “spit” you out if anything.. fun fact a lot of sharks don’t like the taste of human, only ones you have to REALLY worry about is a tiger shark, they don’t give a FU

August Reign - 7 years ago

their throats are only about 4 inches wide

lmao fabioftw - 7 years ago

Christopher Van Niekerk their throats are the size of a grapefruit so dont worry

Dylan P. - 8 years ago

They have no teeth and their throats are tiny. You'd have no problem getting out.

Christopher Van Niekerk - 8 years ago

+yamipablo yeah i guess it makes sense :P

yamipablo - 8 years ago

it is big, but is kinda difficult for may reasons, the shark is slow and gentle, and had good sight, which means it will avoid any big object, plus, the mouth fully open reaches 3-4 feet, thats not big enough to eat a fully grown man or woman, and if it happent , i guess that person and the shark both will be dead

Christopher Van Niekerk - 8 years ago

+yamipablo Yeah but i mean that mouth is so big someone could accidentally just get chomped

yamipablo - 8 years ago

is a plankton eater, is harmless, unless u receive a tale hit in your balls

that kind of shark is not harmful at all

Jubble Gamer - 8 years ago

oh ok where were u when u did that

padaxes - 8 years ago

+Alien m4ster Cornwall, England. Basking sharks migrate all across the world and pass by Cornwall during the summer when there is a lot of plankton in the water.

Jubble Gamer - 8 years ago

no it isnt

padaxes - 8 years ago

+Alien m4ster Of course it is, and in answer to your question. Basking sharks are not meat eaters. They don't even have teeth, they filter tiny plankton out of the water for food. That's why they have such wide mouths.

Jubble Gamer - 8 years ago

no the one next to the shark

PaulRichard2 - 8 years ago

Oh OK, that's a shame. Was it taken from a youtube video or just some background music that could accompany an upload?

padaxes - 8 years ago

+PaulRichard2 I cant actually remember it was one I selected from youtube. The whole thing was a bit of a mess up!

PaulRichard2 - 8 years ago

Thanks, I was hoping Padaxes would see the question since he made the video. :)

Lady GG - 8 years ago

It has long been a commercially important fish, as a source of food, shark fin, animal feed, and shark liver oil. Overexploitation has reduced its populations to the point where some have disappeared and others need protection. i wish people would STOP eating them !!!!!! WTF???? Asia need stop killing animals !!!

Brenda Dale - 9 years ago

+☆ Lyfe ☆ The Whale Shark!!!! Biggest of all the sharks, but just like the hugest of whales, it eats the smallest of all the critters in the ocean! Totally peaceful and benign creatures! Just cruising their migration routes, eating where they know they can fatten up, and then move on to nursery areas where they know they can birth and raise their babies in a safe place until migration happens again. Such a fundamental law of nature, it happens in every species of creature on this planet, except for us as we have now claimed control over these laws of nature. I don't know if this is going to work out for us.

Weird but true fact about the basking shark. Their throat is as big as a grape fruit so I can eat every thing that's why they eat plankton small fish and krill

KingDroid - 9 years ago

+elyssa norin Sorry, I meant to put "phytoplankton" instead of "photoplanton".

KingDroid - 9 years ago

+elyssa norin Plankton is living. Both Zooplankton and Photoplanton are living oranisms. Though, to call a Basking Shark "carnivorous" would not be too accurate.

Brenda Dale - 9 years ago

+Brenda Dale Watching more of Shark week on Discovery, I'm impressed that the overall message is positive. It IS implied that these animals rightly deserve a lot of respect as they are top predators within their realm, a realm we don't truly understand or belong in. I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say, but I do wish all sharks, from the smallest to the biggest, to just be allowed their natural ways, and their natural life, without us idiot humans interfering in their multi-million year old evolutions.

Brenda Dale - 9 years ago

+Musa M You're so right, I'd probably poop my pants if such a big creature was right in front of me! Even if I was hunting some big shark, just to have one large Silky right in my face, I would be so humbled, and so scared. I don't think I'd even know what to do! But to have several large sharks, just cruising around you, circling, but calm. That's a whole different scenario, that's like walking into a herd of crazy wild horses, and you just have to lower your shoulders and be as calm as you can be as you're within their realm.You have to show submission. That works in every realm of the animal world. Dominance also has a unique and unspoken body language.

Moose Man - 9 years ago

+Brenda Dale Yeah screw the media. I'm not afraid of basking sharks I'm talking if I was completely unaware of it and saw it for a brief second then I'd be scared until I realize what it is.

Brenda Dale - 9 years ago

+Musa M If you were to encounter this shark in the water, would you be scared? It's a krill eater, you can tell because it's mouth is open all the time as it's swimming along. The media tells us to be afraid of everything, right down to the carrots and cabbage we eat every day. Be strong, we didn't survive the last 100,000 years by being afraid of every little thing. Society today is whipping us with all kinds of new shit, but trust your instincts, and DON'T trust your gadgets!

My sister and I were standing in 4ft deep water at Scalpsie Bay, Isle of Bute, watching red mullet swim around us. It was blissful. Then a giant shark smashed his tail fin on the water just yards away from us. I'll never forget hearing my own heart pounding in my ears as I panicked to get out of the sea. I also heard the very calm voice of a man standing close by, "It's only a basking shark, he won't hurt you". 'Jaws' ruined an extra special moment in our lives. I now know we were honoured to have been so close to an amazing creature.

TheMightyHartley - 10 years ago

Surprised at all the comments here. This shark isn't terrifying at all - it's totally harmless and actually quite sweet. See how it politely avoids the diver as it eats some plankton (and that's all they eat). It has no interest in harming humans at all, let alone eating one! They've even got little dots for eyes, not like the large and scary beady eyes of the carnivorous shark species.

Dawn or dusk the Farralones waters off San Francisco? Yeah, I'd be nervous. Drifting with the current off South Africa? Sure--the presence of Great Whites would make me keep my arms in the boat. But surrounded by the warm, plankton-clouded green waters of Cornwall or Scotland as a group of sleek gentle giants filters dinner all around me? Sounds like a dream come true! I'd learn to scuba dive for very little save cetaceans and basking sharks. I think that's why so many videos here made by divers filming basking sharks include lovely music. It must be heaven.

You probably wouldn't be able to pay me to get near that thing, it haunts me. I hate sharks, mainly because whenever they open their mouths the back of their mouth is pitch black, and watching Jaw's doesn't help either.

Additionally the assertion that god did/made/controls everything is a dangerous idea. It stops people from seeking the answers to why things really happen and how things work.

Rein B. Old - 11 years ago

Lets not. I, and a growing number of people, don't believe in a cosmic overseer who designed and controls our entire universe from behind the scenes. The energy source for most life on this planet is the sun not "god". It was more of a pond or swamp not soup . There is a reproducible experiment that shows how ribonucleotides form under the right conditions. Thus providing the building blocks for the first unicellular organisms to develop.Its called organic chemistry, get yourself a science book.

kikiziki1 - 11 years ago

Lol! At the start it looks like the shark is the one singing! :D

Gen. Dripik - 11 years ago

Well yeah don't swim in front of it and its happy days. Its if you can even manage that if you ended up in front of it it would divert course.

drowningmouse - 11 years ago

That... Is absolutely horrifying... Whether it could eat me or not, these sharks could probably teach me a thing or two about walking on water if I ever saw one close enough to me. X_x

0zoe86 - 11 years ago

Teeth or no teeth, plankton or fish, it doesnt matter. I would never swim infront of that thing.

Roen Salt - 11 years ago

You are looking at the worlds biggest fish, we sailed near one in Sweden. They like our waters.

Derek Fatula - 11 years ago

dud get this into your head sharks with teeth eat fish sharks with no teeth eat plankton

Nathan Forester - 11 years ago

I love the look of these creatures.

padaxes - 11 years ago

The open their mouths when they are feeding.

padaxes - 11 years ago

Evolution

padaxes - 11 years ago

It's a definite possibility, finding them is down to luck though usually.

Thatcartoon - 11 years ago

Daaamn nature, yoouuu scaaary.

Jackie Woodburn - 11 years ago

Thinking of diving in Cornwall. Any idea of the probability of seeing one of these around August time?

cupcakes - 11 years ago

They eat fish only can't come out of the water then they die

Trey Mane - 11 years ago

This giant sharks would be so cool to swim with but id still prefer to swim with tiger/great white/hammerhead sharks

mohamed nishaan - 11 years ago

you can do it in the maldives, where whale sharks are seen in reefs. so that you do not have to be afraide of the dark sea

padaxes - 11 years ago

Aquaphobia? :) I was always scared myself, caves, seaweed beds, deep water. I just forced myself to overcome it. It helps that in the UK there aren't too many deadly creatures in the sea to worry about.

Ross Evans - 11 years ago

These sharks terrify me. ._. So do Whale Sharks with their mouths open...when they're closed, they're so cute!

padaxes - 11 years ago

I would def love to swim with Whale Sharks!

padaxes - 11 years ago

lol might affect my buoyancy if I did!

padaxes - 11 years ago

The avoid you and/or close their mouth.

padaxes - 11 years ago

Yes :)

Victor Krvaric - 11 years ago

Does it ever close its mouth?

LimeTime39 - 11 years ago

What if you get in front of the mouth?

troglodyte3344 - 11 years ago

what would happen if you swam into it's mouth? Would you be able to escape do you think?

theLUCKYdude17 - 11 years ago

can somebody get trapped in the sharks mouth?

mh605 - 11 years ago

Oh, how amazing and exciting! Thanks for posting!

Adas Tenkie - 11 years ago

I always wanted to swim with a whale shark, but I'm a little scared, not of them, but of simply looking down (not heights) but the fact that the freaking ocean just becomes dark, i know it is a strange phobia, but i would love to swim with one :)

day of the lords - 11 years ago

very cool animal

MrLittleminy - 11 years ago

And were is the tongue

MrLittleminy - 11 years ago

Man they scary looking

ThePoonDoctor - 11 years ago

Imagine a great white head on the end of that fucker.

VictorieBelle - 11 years ago

Anything with a mouth that could gobble me whole I find unsettling. I know these animals are not especially dangerous, but it is just the large mouth. Om nom nom.

Jürgen Samoilov - 11 years ago

i believe they would get crushed :P

Jack Wiles - 11 years ago

The weirded fucking thing I've ever seen

Kayla Rose - 11 years ago

OK good.

padaxes - 11 years ago

lol yes they are :)

Kayla Rose - 11 years ago

Are those sea animals friendly o.o

Joelynne Thomas - 11 years ago

I wanna see one of these up close. I've learn many things about them. Harmless creature it is. c: So, nothing to be afraid of.

captainlolz - 11 years ago

Michael Magill - 11 years ago

What a wonderful creature O_O

thewalrus - 11 years ago

well the goes concurring my fear of the ocean

الخالدي محمد - 11 years ago

If you are directly in front of it and not move would it move to avoid you or would it just eat you? Also what you happen if you were eaten could you swim out of the mouth?

Anonymous Alex - 11 years ago

why can't all sharks be like this? no sharp teeth to eat us.

padaxes - 11 years ago

Nothing to be scared of!

John Blaze - 11 years ago

i have phobia to these things

Recuperação Património - 11 years ago

They look a little scary with those mouths wide open but hey they´re filter feeders so they are harmless :) In Portugal, where I live, these sharks on rare ocassions come to shallow waters and you can see them from beaches. They are beautiful seriously, I would rather have a beach full of these magnificent creatures than one full of portuguese man´o´wars. Those ones are DANGEROUS -.-

padaxes - 11 years ago

That is exactly what's happening in the videos. Im just sitting in the water the shark is swimming right towards me and when it notices me it just changes course slightly and swims past me.

Kaylah Crumpler - 11 years ago

Sergio almeida,that ain't fake,basking sharks are real creatures!

TheHopip2 - 11 years ago

If you are directly in front of it and not move would it move to avoid you or would it just eat you? Also what you happen if you were eaten could you swim out of the mouth?

Iva P - 11 years ago

Please tell me, what´s the name of the song in the background ?

Max Chocolate - 11 years ago

You see that fin and die of heart attack. Harmless my fuckin foot

juggaloJezzezz - 11 years ago

i would be scared shitless if that was me in the water video tapeing lol i know they dont eat people but dam that fuckers big

padaxes - 11 years ago

Plankton are very small , even microscopic. They feed for hours at a time where the plankton blooms are thickest. This is why it is so important not to disturb them, other wise they leave before they have enough food.

Meerkatmatt2 - 11 years ago

they strain plankton from the water with their gills, they can close their mouths, it's just that they need to eat a lot

tom offiler - 11 years ago

wow thats one big yawn.............

Sérgio Almeida - 11 years ago

fake !!!!!!

MANO LUCAS - 11 years ago

da arrepio só de ve o bicho imagine ele indo na sua direção...

Theannihilatorguy - 11 years ago

Shit man i get chills down my spine watching the mouth coming towards the camera. It's like a black hole haha! I believe they are gathering plankton :D

CutePuppy351 - 11 years ago

It is weird tho hey say yes if it is creepy

CutePuppy351 - 11 years ago

I would get scared to there just ooo i just cant explain it

Mohamad Berry - 11 years ago

no their mouths dont close the plankton swims in their mouths winterx6

Monachus Bibe - 11 years ago

It can't get in their mouths, their teeth block it from coming inside.

Nick O - 11 years ago

thats usually how i eat too

padaxes - 11 years ago

I stupidly tried the Youtube "swap audio" option to get it unblocked in some countries.

DougEFresh289 - 11 years ago

First weird, second the music gets it blocked? Whaaat?

padaxes - 11 years ago

Yeah they only open their mouths when they are feeding, they eat tiny plankton. They filter the water as it passes through their gills to collect their food.

Arnodude53 - 11 years ago

"Next week on Epic Mealtime..."

Tanya Best - 11 years ago

There ugly

winterx6 - 11 years ago

do their mouths even close? and how do they eat?

Nino muratore - 11 years ago

wtf nature?

padaxes - 11 years ago

They avoid objects in the water, it's very unlikely this would happen.

padaxes - 11 years ago

They leave, and stop feeding, which isn't good for them as they have to spend alot of time filter feeding microscopic plankton. In the Uk they are a protected species so harrassing them is illegal.

padaxes - 11 years ago

They have brushed against me, generally you shouldnt touch them or bother them though.

padaxes - 11 years ago

Nope very passive, harmless creatures.

padaxes - 11 years ago

I aint crazy! They are harmless, they don't even have teeth.

winterx6 - 11 years ago

how is that you aren't afraid of it? are they harmful?

G. Breydel - 11 years ago

is this shark not dangerous?!!! The guy who filmed this, is crazy :D!

Juilce - 11 years ago

I wonder what happens when someone gets stuck in there accidentally. Does the shark spit that person out? And apologizes?

John Cusick - 11 years ago

magnificent animals. apparently they have decent eyesight. obviously very harmless. have you ever tried touching one?

padaxes - 11 years ago

Me. Thanks :)

Liberate Vos Ex Inferis - 11 years ago

Who films this stuff!!! AMAZING

s - 11 years ago

ive heard that they are friendly not so dangerous sharks but if harassed then what happens?

padaxes - 11 years ago

Thanks, though of course the music gets it blocked in some countries :(

Mark Eddy - 11 years ago

MissMemeXX - 11 years ago

Wow stunning animal yet it scares me so much.

2brnaught2b - 11 years ago

are their mouths always open

Doc Scratch - 11 years ago

one of the many reason i hate water, yet its so cool. :'3

padaxes - 11 years ago

Id love to! We don't get them here, we do occasionally get Orca and pilot whales, hopefully one day I'll encounter some.

Klint Karas - 11 years ago

glad to see some people know this . im sick of the "sharks kill people so we should kill them" even though we go into their home ... and dogs kill more people than sharks. some people are just so dense and need to realize how important sharks are. also why we need to outlaw shark fin as many places as possible . cuz allot of it comes from people cutting them off and tossing the shark back in the water. thats like cutting off our limbs and letting us die slowly.. but anyway. nice vid ^^

padaxes - 11 years ago

They certainly are.

Tinkle - 11 years ago

you should swim into his mouth o:

C CCIFITSME - 11 years ago

Its huge

Manuel H - 12 years ago

What a beautiful animal :)

Roger França - 12 years ago

It's amusing how something so beautiful is so damn scary at the same time.

Logan Garner - 12 years ago

Yep.

padaxes - 12 years ago

lol thanks, they really are harmless though. Fantastic creatures!

demonjack123 - 12 years ago

Probably! =P

santanalz - 12 years ago

The man who took this footage has gigantic balls. Even if they are not aggressive, being that close to an animal of that size is not my idea of happy fun time.

FlightDeckGA - 12 years ago

Amazing how you can see right through the gills in the beginning

Logan Garner - 12 years ago

Nah, they don't have teeth. And good point, it'd probably be like "BLEH NASTY ASS HUMAN" and spit the person out. :|

demonjack123 - 12 years ago

Yup just swim out. I didn't notice any teeth did you? And the guy did say it would probably bug the fuck out if you came into contact with it.

Logan Garner - 12 years ago

._. So just swim out? I noticed that you'd have to pass through the gills of the shark to get any deeper into it so I just guessed that you could swim out.

demonjack123 - 12 years ago

Probably nothing.

Logan Garner - 12 years ago

If you somehow get in the path of one of these and you go into it's mouth what happens and what do you do? :|

Alex Griffin - 12 years ago

That is terrifying... :P

spleeks mcgleex - 12 years ago

damn it, two best friends, why did you make me look this up?

Bob Diamond - 12 years ago

People are so stupid, basking sharks are vegetarians. It like being scared of a giant cow. Great video. :-)

hardstylekid123 - 12 years ago

imagine if the shark unintentionally put you in his mouth while you were swimming in front of him

AE Lough - 12 years ago

"non violent" is specific to humans. Animals don't choose to be non-violent. Could a great white shark choose to be non-violent? Even an animal like this is consuming living things. It doesn't get to choose what it consumes. It is a passive feeder, hence the size. Its about efficiency.

AE Lough - 12 years ago

Violence/violent isn't a word than can be applied to animals. It is a condition/action/display of humans only. Animals kill with efficiency. I know you were trying to make a first grade comment that would appeal to other children and that your soccer mom would find adorable, but please try to have even a basic understanding of life and language before commenting. The biggest creatures on the planet get that big with continuous consumption of food. They don't need to hunt as say a lion. Think.
