Gotta say, this is one of the scariest and most humbling videos of GWS I've seen out there. The man appears closer to the camera and still is utterly dwarfed by the shark. I can't imagine how frightening this must have felt while in the water, never knowing if you were going to get attacked.

Great job on the material for both here and the bull shark pictoral. I very much appreciate your contributions here.

Very interesting, I ignored makos to be that pugnacious and daring. Makes you wonder how intimidating could be a large sized one. Mollet on his website records the existence of a giant that was basically GWS-sized.  In short, this particularly large female would probably have been able to indimidate even something like Deep Blue. One could say the size is estimated from the photo and could be wrong but I doubt it. Even if it was 1 m shorter, it would still be huge for its species. Interestingly this female is not fat like the large GWS individuals, so was presumably still potent at capturing fast-swimming preys. Not sure if we should consider this gigantism natural or pathologic... Anyway I often see some people claiming sharks are efficient killers but not fighters and that they won't engage a larger foe, but this proves otherwise at least in the case of makos. This is reflected in the fossil record with the Kallal et al. (2010) finding of the rib of a large (presumably humpback-sized) balaenopterid surviving an attack by a much smaller shark in the 7 m range. |
