The media coverage of this is just winding me up sideways. I know human nature is to gawk and consume stories of worst nightmares whilst safe in our duvets, but....this was a horrific situation, not a predatory attack and the ways the stories play out versus Bears in woods (defending babies so you better be careful) or Lions (why would you be there?!), for example. Why do we get to think the ocean is our f-ing territory. I'm glad she survived of course, but its grinding all my gears how much this is being played out like a crime story with a dangerous criminal.

I was trying to find follow up reporting on this attack but can’t find any.

It’s the first bull attack video I know of and the details seem sparse. Given it wasn’t a bite and release, but sustained attack, I’m wondering why there isn’t more interest to see if any other factors were at play influencing this shark’s behavior.

I’d guess territorial response and attracted to a swimmer splashing, but I surf near bulls and this behavior is still quite rare. Curious about the location, fishing practices, that type of thing.

Also was hoping to hear the victim recovered. And what became of the shark.

Maybe I am overlooking reporting and happy to be pointed to it. Thanks.

Don't remember where I got it from, but I've had this "shark" tooth for most of my life. I just never really questioned what kind of tooth it is? So I googled it and it said it was a megalodon tooth.. which I doubt lol.

This dude is always funny. Breaking down the thresher for a couple of minutes.

I was in Brittany for a holiday and looking around the rock pools because they have VERY low tides. I was looking for mermaid pouches and nudibranchs. it was a really low tide that day and I heard some flapping noises assuming it was a fish and it was on its back. At the time I only had a kids shovel and didn’t want to damage it by grabbing it so I flipped it over and in my head I was like “ THAT’S A CATSHARK!!!” Or roussette in French.

as it was extremely low tide and it couldn’t find the water I grabbed it (with shovel) and put it in a pool that had entry to the sea but was receding quickly. But it wouldn’t go 😭😭. I felt bad so I stayed for about An hour to make sure it was gone because there was a dozen of kids with buckets and fishing nets just grabbing everything they see and then dumping it on the beach. Felt very much like that one ponyo scene.

anyway all that to say I wanted to share this because it’s my first time being in the water with another shark! Even if it’s a baby!!!

also I think it’s a baby catshark, it was tiny maybe the size of a bic pen in length!

Headed to Australia & New Zealand from USA in February 2027 for a milestone birthday. I really want to cage dive with white sharks. I’ve been tracking the average sitings via Calypso Charters shark tracker in the Neptunes and it seems like in recent years it’s getting a little more hit or miss. With weather conditions potentially hindering opportunities and an already time-limited trip, I am Wondering where the sitings are more consistent off Rakiura (Stewart Island), NZ or the Neptunes, AUS in that timeframe. I appreciate any insight.

I want to ONCE hear about a shark called Collin The Nefarious or bingus or something

(Drop some fun shark names you’ve heard, no Bruces)

As all of us are probably well aware, sharks possess a sixth sense through their Ampullae of Lorrenzini: electroreceptors on the shark's snout that track electrical signals caused by muscle contractions made by their prey (to use TierZoo's description, "Movement reveals enemy player(s)'s location on your minimap).

What I would like to know is, what is the maximum range/reach that a shark has with its electroreceptors? I've heard in one documentary (The Ultimate Guide: Sharks) that a shark's electroreceptors only have a maximum range of about six feet. Is this accurate, or can it have a further range/reach than that?

Also, is a shark's lateral line another type of electroreceptor, or does it work differently than that (I know it's a motion-sensor as well, and it has a much further reach than the Ampullae, but I still don't quite get how that organ works)?

It’s in the latest failarmy video.

I always forget how big they get. The other video going around of a similarly big great hammerhead chasing a tarpin is another great reminder of why they are part of the big girl shark club and deserve all the respect. I don't think they have any reliable reports of a fatal attack, but they certainly could take down a human with a single bite.

To be honest there have been too much of these shark movies where the great white has been painted as some demonic creature. It's not helping removing the true facts about the great white. In my opinion, studios and directors should be more thoughtful about this issue.

I encountered this bluntnose sixgill while diving at approximately 100 ft off Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

I was actually looking for giant Pacific octopus when I turned toward deeper water and saw this shark emerging from the darkness and heading directly toward me. It came extremely close to my camera before slowly cruising alongside me and over the bottom.

I was able to observe and film it for roughly three minutes before it eventually disappeared back into deeper water.

I estimate it was around 10–12 ft long and believe it may have been female. What struck me most after the initial surprise was just how calm the animal was.

This is my original footage from the encounter.

Saw this video when I was planning my trip to Montenegro and looking up the word shark in the local language for recent news. I know a juvenile great white shark was caught in Montenegrin waters not long ago. Some local reports indicated this beauty as a great white too, but I'm fairly certain it's a mako. Anyhow, always good to see more big sharks spotted in the med.
