We were sightseeing seals off the north coast of Tasmania, when a Great White Shark rammed our 5.7m boat. It damaged the front of the boat with it's biting, before moving to the back and flipping its tail out of the water. Estimated size is 3.5 to 4m. We escaped unharmed and immediately headed for land in case of any damage to our boat. An unfortunate attack as we were unknowingly in the shark's territory. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Judging by the size of the tail and the markings on it, I can easily say that it’s not a giraffe
Of course not. Giraffes aren't real.
@Chappo lies, damned lies and statistics.
It could be a hippopotamus. We'll never know.
Well in all seriousness, it could be a racist hippopota-snake hybrid. I’ve seen one on CNN so it’s definitely real.
I think it’s a dog. I definitely saw a tail and my gran’s dog has a tail.
Imagine being a seal and every day deciding whether to not eat or to go into the water where giant monsters will try to bite you in half.
They definitely have to eat every day, seals burn a lot of calories when there in the water!!
@@brianmck7363 I think I’d rather keep the calories on if I was the seal
Kind of like living in Detroit
@@Levi-ee1oq Seal are pretty big fully grown! Not quite mature GWS big of course, but they can reach half to 2/3 of their size. They are also very agile and quick and can turn on the spot faster to change direction than a great white. There's lots of footage out of them approaching and even chasing GWS! Plus they are fierce: all those scars around eyes, gills and heads of mature great whites? Are often by seals!
This is not a helpless species just waiting to be preyed on! Why do you think only adult, fully grown GWS hunt seals while the juveniles (who are 7-12'/2-4m big already) eat fish?! They need to "level up" before going after seal and sea lions: getting big, getting experience, hone their craft and strategies...
You tried living in England..
That rocky island alone gives me the chills.. almost to be expected some giant whites would be circling it. Especially because it's a resting spot for seals to lay on
Been on there it smell gave me the chills
It sounds really scary! 🦈
There's already been a fatal shark attack near those rocks. 1993.
Yea 2 fatal attacks in aus that week one 3 days later at Byron bay
@@ShaneMawhirt Why would anyone go into the water in this area?
Surfed for 30 years almost every day and that feeling is always in the back of your mind.. It’s their home and I respect them and all ocean life..Seen some big ones cruise right by me a couple times and no telling how many times I didn’t see them.
Что заставляет идиотов развлекаться там, где хозяйничает GW?
yeah you surf long enough you see a few. I've seen my fair share in nor cal.
@@kay834 🤙
I grew up in the keys wake boarding and water skiing snorkeling spearfishing … there’s a lot of sharks everywhere!
puts the hair up the back of your neck i bet, did me just reading and imaginging it, im a city boy unfortunately because i love the ocean and have spent some time in it, just not so accessible for me now, bright side i suppose is im less likely to be eaten by a shark, but i would love to swim with them, bucket list :)
I respect how they hauled ass outta there at warp speed.
Not quite quick enough for me.... lmao
Scotty, get us out of here
Warp 9 - engage!!!
No games....
DO PEOPLE NOT REALIZE THAT IS NOT A GREAT WHITE SHARK?!!?
1) 0:10 At the beginning, you can see a bunch of separate fins and multiple jumping/breaching aquatic creatures. Red flag: sharks don’t travel in pods... dolphins do.
2) In the slow-motion you can CLEARLY see that tail is NOT a shark’s, theirs are “vertical” wave SIDE-TO-SIDE and are scythe-shaped. That is either a whale or dolphin tail, and judging from the size probably a dolphin. 1:31
3) Not to mention, sharks would RARELY, if EVER, “attack” a boat randomly like that. Dolphins, however, are curious, and that one probably just bumped the boat by accident or to investigate.
To the creator: Yes, this was certainly an exciting and frightening encounter for you, but you could show some respect and not add to the already-overblown and unfair demonization and irrational fear of sharks, especially Great Whites. They are not monsters, they are creatures just trying to live peacefully in their own home.
I can't believe all of you missed that golden opportunity to say "We need a bigger boat!"
😂😂😂
we knew you'd handle it.
I can’t believe everyone missed this opportunity to like this awesome comment!!!! 🤦♂️
It's "You're gonna need...."
HAHA!! I was Thinking The Very Same Thing!!
"That's a twenty footer."
"Twenty-five. Three tons of him."
You gonna need a bigger boat..
Here's my take. The shark did not attack the boat. It was after a seal that used the boat as refuge and the shark came in contact with the boat trying to capture the seal.
Yeah. Definitely wasn't attacking the boat. They just happened to be in its way while chasing its prey.
Oh, you're right!
The shark lifted its head out of the water and tried to eat the anchor on the front of the boat. So it actually thought the boat was a food source.
When you drive directly over seals in great white waters…
I mean cmon
It's not a shark it's an orca great whites don't have black tails

Sailing that close to an island covered with seals means you're basically at Great White Shark Ground Zero.
flat tail...it's a whale. surprised that nobody seen that !
@@jalesbarjo4740 It did look flat. What type of whale do you think it was?
It was sideways lol it was a great white
@@jalesbarjo4740 That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure
@@jalesbarjo4740 that is a great white tail. Look on google
A mother of 4 literally got bitten in half diving there with her family in 1993. They wanted to swim with seals. Some people, man.
I can’t believe they got scared and ran off.
Who on earth would do that???!!
Where there are many seals, there are great whites.... That's awful. Poor woman. May she rest in peace.
Her name was Therese Cartwright. They only ever found part of a leg. A truly terrible way to go. May she rest in peace...
Stupid decision , to do all that. .sorry to say. .
@doriangray2020
No, she was eaten by the shark. She wasn't scared off at all.
He quickly found the boat's hidden gear
Can you imagine if they were in kayaks when that happened.
Adam Rojas Two “sharks attacking kayaks” videos brought me here.
We would have never gotten to watch the vid. I guess.
ua-cam.com/video/XQQZifTGY1Q/v-deo.html Would have looked something like this.
That’s seal rock mate, off the coast of five mile bluff. If you were stupid enough to kayak there I’d say that you wouldn’t be returning to show your footage!
@@misdangered4326 me too
Imagine going overboard by accident. The sheer terror youd feel.
Imagine if people would believe it was real.
@@sahtimestari what makes you think it wasnt?
@@sahtimestari jesus christ man. Put down the crackpipe lol
@majorbigs1 don’t worry. It wouldn’t last long seeing as how shortly after it’d be followed by searing pain and drowning.
if terror is the only thing you feel then its good xD get back in the boat! if u feel a bite... be creatif xD
The absolute speed that shark had in the 2nd attack. If it does get a hold on you, you better hope you’re dead on impact. That was absolute power.
The guys in the boat mistaking the waves crashing in the distance as sharks breaching. Shark nearby the boat: that’s not a shark, this is a shark
That shark probably has the worst headache now
I wonder if that's even possible. Not just for sharks but for alot of animals. Like whales.
Not really. They always bump into things
Their body is solid muscle. After the killer whale, they're the top predator in the ocean. Great whites are built for force.
They don't give a fuck
Hopefully they didn't hit the propeller
Legend has it they are still accelerating away from the scene at top speed
I ain't waiting around to find out if there is hull damage full speed ahead lol
Only to be surrounded by a whole lot more of them 😈😈😈
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
😂😂😂😂😂, hell I would be too
When you see the birds circling in abundance, know that you are on the menu right now
Because there is something huge that you do not see under the depths of the sea
I concur, I'm a kayaker and sailor.
Indeed, they like to pick up the bits that are left behind. Sharks are messy eaters
Even my 10-year-old granddaughter could recognize that was a whale not a great white shark.
“That Whale was a lot tougher then I thought”
-Great White Shark
That was a whale , a killer whale
Not a chance. Orcas are black not grey. Also orcas have brilliant white underside to their tail flukes with a black trailing edge. What you are seeing is the underside of a Great White which is an off white colouration. Also the body of a killer whale is more pinched at the tail where as in this case the body has a more uniform taper which is consistent to a Great White.
Also the tailfin of an orca is horizontal. The fin in the video is upright.
@@tut-nichtszur-sache133 not that it's a big deal to me however, if you look at 1:25 there is no vertical tail sticking out of the water and shortly thereafter you might notice that the tail is indeed horizontal unless you look at it differently than I do, which again is no big deal just adding perspective.
@@albany222 No, it’s not. It’s vertical. Look at the body. Light on the bottom, darker on the top. If this would be a horizontal fin, than the animal would be dark on the left and light on the right side of the body.
I live across the street from the ocean in Western Australia and you just showed another reason why I never swim in it.
Have you ever considered selling your place... Mmmmmmm to people who's not afraid? For instance I could be one of your first options😁🙋🏻♂️🤷♂️ just saying🤷♂️⁉️

@Robert Porte Why stop there? I heard Kakadu is also a good place for a dip.
This is not a shark, this is an orca
Its a shark Look at the tail pic and the white under belly
That didn't look like a shark tail. It was horizontal which suggests a whale.
I’ve seen a lot of shark movies. I can confirm that is definitely water.
We need specifics here, are we talking salt or the non salt water here
You hit it with boat
I saw a lot of them too and now I can't find any more you could advise me if you don't mind?
Do you have some kind of source to prove it?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shark: Watch this boys, scared the land creatures every time!
Other sharks: Hahahahahaha.
Sharks : “And we smashed them all to bits hahahahahaha”

stupid !!!!
Hahaha stupid land creatures😂😂😂
LoL 😆
Sitting at a Great White's dinner table and thinking what's the worst thing that could happen?
I once spoke to a girl in Tasmania whose family went fishing every day. I remarked that I could never do that because of my fear of sharks.
She looked me in the eye with a big smile and said, unironically:
"But great whites are gorgeous!"

Neo Geo agreed, this is a whale tail, not shark tail
Neo Geo no no it is a dolphin
@@andrewrcmadwilkinson6999
The USS Nimitz ???
Did she survive after confronting that Lighthouse ?? 😅😅
The shark is like, "Dude! I'm trying to get a bite to eat! Piss off, you're scaring the food!"
If you replace “dude” with “mate” you got one very angry Australian shark
That actually sounds plausible.
That is exactly why the shark hit the boat. There’s a pecking order to feed plus it is also territorial.
@@nigeace 1000% Top dog.
@@nigeace Your 100% Correct, at last you are someone who is astute, i can't believe some of the moronic comments on here.
It's crazy how smart the shark was to not attack the boat with it's teeth, but try to flip it with it's tail... Trip but cool
That tail looked as though it was horizontal? that would suggest an Orca, not a GW Shark.
I dived that island in 92, Barren joey Island. Diving there was popular because the seal pups are sooo cute and playful. They'd pull at ur hoses and gloves, like under water Labrador pups. A year later Theresa Cartwright was diving there and taken by a great white. No way would I ever get in the water near a seal colony now, and that footage proves it.
I can't believe you dived it then!lol I know seals have been a Great Whites food of choice my entire life. It must have been AWESOME to do. Good for you. That shark was at least 18' by the size of the tail. My second favorite creature on this place!
Ok
Holy shit.
She was bitten ,or really taken away by gw
Man... Theresa was a mother of 6 year old quadruplets. That's really sad. Poor kids. Also, poor lady.
I love how fast the boat takes off. Like they don't even consider staying for a moment to get a better look. I would be the same except I would aim the boat up in the air out of the water. Like my boat would take off like a rocket and escape the atmosphere.
😆😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant! Made my day.
I nearly shit my pants the second that the tail was visible and I had to pull my phone out of my ceiling to type this msg 😂
Heheh
I would run across the water onto that rock in light speed.
Lmao.
“Run Awaaaaaayyyyy!!!”😂
Seriously when the video started , and the perspective was that low to the water , and you couldn’t see the edge of the boat , I thought that’s too small for what the thumbnail is promising is on its way😳
I could bit imagine seeing one of these coming towards me while in the water, just knowing that I am probably going to die. How frightening!
Not only that but HOW your going to die
The force of that tail slap revealed a bit the sheer power of a shark 👀
Lol the guy bounced like a bat out of hell, asking what was that whilst driving away… the definition of shoot first and ask questions later. Nice work my man
Running off pure adrenaline
'Like a bat out of hell ill be gone when the morning comes' - guys on this boat 2022
How is running away representative of shooting before questioning?
Edit: also he asks what it was before accelerating so lmfao
@@dr4tinymous damn, you proved me so wrong…. Have a good day
@@dr4tinymous I thought the other guy asked first while the skipper wasted no time getting the boat moving.
It was after this most recent incident that Bruce finally accepted that his shark eyes were not as sharp as before, and it was time to consider glasses...
This needs 34k likes. Dam
Is that what happened
It wasn't a shark right didn't look like one was it a whale
You win the prize for the best comment. You're prize is a sailing adventure off the coast of Australia. Or choice of $25.00! (Sorry, from Oregon. Don't know $$ value!)
Bruce should consider LASIK
Dudes. That's not a Shark. Look at the tail fin. That is an Orca.. at 'best'.
Nope man it's definitely a white shark. They were off the farallon islands and there isn't orca in that area that have been seen but there's a huge population of great whites bcs of the massive seal colony that lives there. It's an amazing place for sure. Also extremely dangerous waters cause every shark there is there for one reason. To eat!!!!. Not the place to fall overboard, sink or stupidly go for a swim. Haha!! One more thing to bro is that an easy way to know its a white is the diamond shape ridge where the tail meets the fin. I can see why u would think orca tho but it's 100% not. It would be a killer sight to see a pod of orcas roll up there tho. They would definitely kill some white sharks. It's crazy to watch this happen cause the orca kill the shark just to eat the liver out of it and that's all. Pretty smart animals. Later buddy
Shark shows up and dude boat speed goes like crazy . It's almost cartoony 😂😂😂
The shark is telling them to get the hell out of there. "These seals are mine."
actually.... I wonder if that's really what he was doing.
@@7mikepd Absolutely, didn't want to share the buffet.
Can we have a moment of silence for the shark who thought it was going to get a nice juicy seal dinner but ended up smashing its face against a steel-bottomed boat?
It goes from GW to a Pug the moment it hit the boat.
Fiberglass
It was literally telling them to leave. It knew what it was doing.
It's now a hammer head
Not a full on charge by the shark==just a reminder from him that you're intruding into HIS chosen hunting ground and warning you to take a hike. The tail slap is, in fact, an observed method used by white sharks show their mettle to other white sharks and show off their size and strength to potential rivals.
If it was a movie, that engine wasn’t starting straight away 🫣
And everyone would start staring over the side of the boat, heads hanging near the surface to see if the shark had gone!
Ha ha yep . The dying battery in every Hollywood horror rrrrr rrrrr rrrrr clunk 🤣
You see a shark feeding frenzy, go right up to it, get hit , and yell "whoa what was that?" Like someone else said, pretty sure its not a giraffe.
The shark was probably chasing a seal, and the seal had enough sense to use the boat as help to escape
Great white sharks really are THAT territorial. I think the shark thought the boat was an orca.
@@stefanrenn-jones9452 sharks leave orcas alone they know not to fuck with them
@@stefanrenn-jones9452 I’m fairly confident great white sharks aren’t Territorial, they’re solitary travellers, and rarely interact with one another if not at all, this of course excludes when they migrate to mate, which we no absolutely nothing about,
The motor was probably black or dark blue as well, and might have appeared to be a seal. It's thought.
@@aaroncicanese they are definitely territorial do some shark attack research
Shark: Seriously, mate. You gotta go. I'm eating.
it's not a shark, it's a killer whale. look closely 1:25
@@keilainn.5752 Shark, probably pissed that they were creating a distraction to let the seals slip by.
Keïla Inn. Yeah, no it's not. You show your lack of knowledge with such conviction. The way of the new world, I suppose. People who know the least, talk the most.
@@anthonyc.4246 Only in a world of 'alternative facts' can that be a whale. *shakes head*
This was likely a defensive attack. The shark saw the boat approaching where it was hunting and it defended its food source, which is why it didn't follow when they tried to leave.
Don't swim with seals for this reason. A shark won't mistake you for an animal it's been hunting for millennia. But it might see you as a potential snack or a competitor.
Don't swim at dawn, dusk or night during requiem shark feeding times.
Don't swim in muddy or churned up water, especially near the mouths of rivers and deltas. Dangerous sharks prefer this environment for hunting.
Don't swim right near channels and drop offs.
If you encounter a shark that has taken an interest in you, treat it like any predator. Face it as you back away, make sure it knows you can see it. Remain calm so it thinks you could be a threat or risky to take a bite. Keep something between you and the shark if you have a rod or surfboard or whatever. Get out of the water as soon as possible.
Do not feed sharks.
This is terrible advice. Always swim when it's dark so sharks can't see you.
Slap the water hard as you swim to intimidate them. If faced with an attack, wave your arms and legs frantically so you look bigger and most importantly, never make eye contact with a shark. They'll take it as a challenge. Move away as quickly as possible without looking back.
How I wish that more people were as empathetic as you. The yanks have made these poor creatures into enemy no1 with their Hollywood hype

@@MikeBesk Yeah,,,you first ,genius.
@@ricklaine6583
I guess I played it down too much? Let me be even more obvious.
When faced with a potential shark confrontation, grab the shark by the tail, whip it around like a lasso and hurl it into space.
Better?
That definitely looked like it could have capsized that boat if it hit it right. Or, they could have at least taken on a lot of water. I know nothing, it just looked that way.
He wasn't attacking your boat, he was trying to catch lunch.
👍👍
When it rammed the boat I was like oh wow that’s pretty scary. Then I saw the speed and size of it’s tail coming out the water and that put in perspective how massive that shark was. This is as close as you’ll get to a real life version of a scene from Jaws.
GET A BIGGER BOAT
And one could even argue that this is scarier than those shark encounters that tourists go to where they get lowered down to the sea inside a steel cage.
Well, you can get a closer version of a scene from Jaws, you just won't be around afterward to post video about it.
Looked more like an Orca whale to these untrained eyes
@@johnegan5 That's what I thought, too. It looked too black on its back to be a great white, looked more like an orca to me. Don't the GWs have gray backs?
It's good to see that folks finally came to the realization that it was a shark and not an Orca ....lol!
When this video first came out there were tons of arguments about that and you can clearly see by the tail that it's a Great White.
Plot twist: The "Oh, f**k, what was that!?" was the shark talking.
Judging by the size of the tail, it seems like the earth is flat.
I think the shark would fall out of the water if it wasn’t flat
Agreed
Yep, I can confirm that.
Hahahah
This would be funny... if I was confident that you don’t ACTUALLY believe the world is flat but with a username like “We Are Aware” I’m just not sure.
Life preservers - "Check."
Adult pampers - "Double check."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Later, that shark was telling its mate about how that one boat he saw blazed the hell out of there faster than anything he's ever seen.
Look at 1:33, that couldn't be a shark, it is a some kind of Cetacean!
I'm pretty sure that was a whale not a shark. Looking at the tail fin, it looks horizontal not verticle. It was probably an orca which especially recently have been hitting boats. They also hunt seals
no. look at the slo-mo replay. it's definitely a great white shark.
in slow mo you can see what angle the tail is moving which is left to right, not up and down like an orca
That’s what I thought when I first saw it
It’s a great white in a side-angle breach. The white skin is the underside of the shark. Definitely not an orca.
There’s no mistaking a great white 🦈, there lucky it never breached the hull probably stalking a seal near the surface before making its surprise attack !!!!
Fin appears horizontal because the GW is twisting. That certainly looked like a Great White, and a rather large one at that.
Like someone else said, good thing the guys weren't out on kayaks or paddle boards.
Please see my independent comment. GW tail is vertical and disproportionately sized relative to the top and bottom portions of it's tail in terms of the tail fin above the body and below the body. An Orca is horizontal and equally sized on the left and right flank of an orca's body. Calling all biologists! Correct me please if I'm wrong.
@@Frankster86 yup looked like a killer whale / orca in the slow motion. Either way that boat seamed a bit small to be near all that activity.
It def was chasing something n got it cuz you can see the birds swooping in for scraps as boat races away
I'm in favor to this verdict: it's an Orca (killer whale).
@@JAMuUP -- Why not? That animal looks plump, has a horizontal-looking tail. (Am referring to the tail flukes here. Orcas have horizontal tail flukes, whereas Sharks have vertical tail fins.)
Until that beast is proven otherwise, I say Orca.
I don't think the shark was trying to attack the boat. I think the boat was IN THE WAY during this feeding frenzy as the sharks were chasing and eating their prey
@logicbomb007 that's not a whale. Its most definitely a great white shark
I think none of us have no idea what's going on besides the fact that its definitely a shark
They DO attack boats sometimes
@@ugotlj4133 The animal has every right to live without human intervention. It is a dangerous animal due to years of evolution, not by some evil design. it's an apex predator because it maintains the ecological balance.
When you go out into the ocean, YOU ARE ON ITS TURF. just because you are scared of it doesn't give you or anyone else the right to play God.
@@ugotlj4133 You're obviously a troll who knows nothing about biology or the ecology system. You are just operating on base irrational fear.
BTW, the Bible says Man should be stewards of the earth and not needless kill an animal. Because to do that is a SIN. the ocean and wilderness is not a safe place to begin with nor is it a Disney movie. That's been like that since the dawn of time.
Exterminating one animal throws the whole system out of whack (which was set up by God's design) So in reality, you're destroying His works.
As to the dinosaurs, they were wiped out by an asteroid, to which it took millions of years for the Earth to correct itself.
Can a Great White turn its caudal fin horizontal?
Why isn’t anyone commenting on the horizontal tail and black color, this is an orca
Seals and sea loin will actually jump out of the water, and into a boat the get away from sharks and killer whales. They'll use a boat as an obstacle to escape sudden death.
Those damn sea loins 🤣
Yep and so would I lol
And i would happily let them lol
Can't blame them.
The power of these sharks is just terrifying, you can tell by the guys voice shaking at the second tail slap it’s time to get out asap!!!
Awesome videos!!!
Lol . Attacks Boat?? So an uneducated child posted this video I assume.
So that's what they mean by very large sharks making the water boil. Thanks for slowing down the footage. That is 100% confirmation that you are not embellishing the identification!
Gotta say it: We're gonna need a bigger boat!
It looks like the shark was hunting some seals. I bet a seal made a break for the boat with the shark in pursuit. The seal probably dodged it or was hiding right under the boat and because the shark is so big, he just ran right into them and ended up attacking the boat. That tail was absolutely huge and definitely belonged to a White Shark. Y'all got lucky no one fell in after that unexpected hit!👍 Those White Sharks don't play around when it's time to eat.
I bet you are absolutely right. Whites are not generally known to attack boats for no reason. It probably bumped the boat accidentally and then was clearly flipping to dive after something other than the boat. I still don't blame them for getting out of there.
Absolutely right. And correct, fucking giant white shark!
Stfu the shark was trying to eat the humans in the boat
Ya all sure dat wert no Killer Whale? Dat was a biggy !
@@bruceallen2862 Not sure - I been looking closely at that tail - looks more like the flat tail of a mammal ???
After seeing that tail whip I am 100% sure there is no way to fight that thing off if it attacks you
orca
Yes I think that was only a firm warning.
Putting your thumbs in it's eyes and punching it's nose are known ways to get sharks to release their bite
@@NicoFitz First of all
punching its nose won't do anything and humans aren't strong enough
also it closes its eyes before biting so attacking its gills is the only option
whatt,its breaks you in a half in a second,thatt is not like some funny story or happy movie.she just butcher you in a parts in seconds
I just can't seem to understand why humans continue to get that close to them. You see what's going on from a distance but you just can't help but get closer to the danger smh
Yep - stalk and goad a shark a' la home invasion/'intruder style and then blame said shark for reacting naturally to your brazen stupidity. These ignorant humans are arrogant af - were they American?! Bet so.
more than 20x as many people are killed by dogs each year as by sharks.
Sir... they can't? They literally could not see, nor even know that a shark was lunging towards them from below.
What do you mean "you can see what's going on from a distance" when you literally cannot see anything more than a couple feet below you in the ocean.
@@geoplane3799 Because they must know that this is a high predatory area and they are moving towards a group of seals or dolphins.
Sharks are in a hunting zone, territorial and they come up vertically. So they aren't playing or idly swimming by. So yes, these men are foolish.
You do realize that what you see jumping out of the water was dolphin, not sharks. There was no sign of sharks anywhere. They dont usually make their presence known until they attack.
When fishing near seals entering the water, always be sure you have packed a fresh pair of shorts.
If that’s seal island, you should never ever ever get close to that unless you’re a trained professional. That is Those sharks buffet and they do not like trespassers. It’s like going into a wolf den, stay away
It is. I have no idea how someone is stupid enough to go to a seal colony and not know that sharks hang around there, let alone the fact that someone has already been eaten there a few years back.
Ok Dad.
cyril layman sharks are still considered apex. They’d destroy orcas if they had the same brain. Orcas imo are too smart to even exist it’s pretty crazy lol. Imagine sharks had the same brain they’d learn to eat on land
cyril layman sharks are profoundly able to pick up scents like u said. On top of that, they have vibration sensors and can pick up the slightest movement in nearby waters. I’m not arguing they’re better than orcas, my point is sharks are still not to be taken lightly. Sure, an orca can dispatch it quickly, but give a shark an orcas brain idc about size, the teeth and sheer power would prevail. Not to mention how fast they are.
cyril layman well they are a whale, they’re all known to be big on their own scale. All I’m saying is intelligence is all a great white needs to have a fair shot in a 1v1. Orcas also think as a pod when they’re together. Their teamwork is another super advantage cause sharks and just about every other fish species think individually.
The force of that tail slap says everything we need to know when going into the ocean... 😱
If I was a seal I’d ask the fishermen if the local zoo was taking applications
I just met the guys on the boat crossing our harbour, still running engines, asking me if the shark is still behind them.
It's one year ago...and I'm in Germany.
I’m no expert but looking at the shape of the tail it looks more like an Orca then a shark which makes sense as they are more likely to rock your boat then a shark
@@oldfaithfuliii5997 You should have stopped at 'I'm no expert..'

@@Jerry-il8pe u mad?
@@Randomyoutubecommenter u special?
me scrolling through the comments tryna see if there’s anyone who knows they weren’t attacked by a shark but were in the middle of its meal time
Also, it wasn't a shark.
@@urbantwilight it is it just doesn’t look like it bc it’s tail came up sideways
@@urbantwilight
The tail was definitely a great white.
What are you? A landlubber?
Reminded me of Jaws,” We might need a bigger boat!”
It’s a whale
Kudos to the driver for letting us know he can book it when necessary lol
I’m not convinced this was an attack on the boat. The shark was in the process of killing food and the boat just happened to be there.
Shark finds out what it feels like walking into a door at 2 a.m.

What everyone says everytime there is a great white video
@@iliketowatchvideos47 Hater
Imagine being in a kayak when that happened?
These sharks heard that Tasmanian Devils are incredibly aggressive, so they had to make some healthy competition.
I WENT OUT FISHING WITH A NEIGHBOR AND THAT WAS THE EXACT REASON HE TOLD ME NOT TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF HIS BOAT. HE TOLD ME HE WAS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE. HE TOLD ME OVER THE YEAR'S OF WORKING OUT IN THE OCEAN THING'S WOULD COME UP AND SNATCH YOU INTO THE WATER SOMETIMES NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS...
That is precisely what I thought, too. I imagined being the captain telling people not to get next to or look over the edge and them laughing like you're being overly cautious.
Have you seen the video of the little girl in San Francisco Bay sitting on a dock while her family is looking at a big Sea Lion and someone next time them tries to feed it.. Then insanely fast it snags the little girl and dives down. It happens in a flash.
Thank God, her grandpa immediately dove in after her. The Sea Lion had, fortunately just grabbed onto her clothes. But the whole scene is horrifying.
People are so cavalier around wild animals even with their children around. It is nerve-wracking to those that have a healthy appreciation of what wild animals can and will do given the chance.
I'm not talkin' about pleasure boatin' or day sailin'. I'm talkin' about workin' for a livin'. I'm talkin' about sharkin'.
"saw one eat a rockn chair"
You've got city hands Mr Hooper..... been counting money all your life.
"We need a bigger boat" intensifies.
That looked more like a killer whale I could be mistaken but the tale doesn’t look like a sharks fin
Probably more likely it was after a seal who was using the boat as cover/protection.
Pop P 000
yep
agree
It wasn't a shark. The shark has a vertical tail fin. You can see in the released photos that this fin is horizontal!
It's not horizontal, look where the edge starts and where the white underbelly is. It's vertical
Orca
It’s turning, bro. Definitely a shark 🦈
Ya it's a killer whale.
@@deeks1205 killer whales are not dark on one side and white on the other. Great white Sharks are dark on top and white on the bottom and the tail is Vertical. Turn your head a bit, you’ll see it.
"Nope, nope, nope, nope." - The shark and the boaters.
shark realized that your boat didn't taste good.
Your boat wasn't attacked they were breaching and you were in the way.
I agree. And it looks more like a small whale to me. I have not seen white sharks slap their tails like that
@@sherryditzler7908 They do it to things they are afraid of or don't like in their vicinity. Its not an attack so much as a "get lost!/Get away from me!" signal.
Looked like a type of whale to me.
What's breaching ?
Just because you haven’t seen a shark flap a tale like this (that’s not what it was doing) and just because you think sharks were breaching (they were seals not sharks) doesn’t mean this boat was not attacked.
#1 seals were breaching, swimming and diving around the island.
#2 the shark didn’t flap its tail, however they have done this on many videos on shark week.
#3. The shark more than likely came up from the depths to attack what it thought was a large easy meal, or from the side. When it hit a moving vessel the shark more than likely was moving fast and twisted after the impact causing the tail to come out of the water. That was a very hard hit.
#4. It’s clearly a white shark based on the tail. Not a whale, orca or dolphin.
#5. Couldn’t see the size or anything on the boat to really compare for size. However, the driver saw it and it must have been large enough to take off.
The set up was there….you had it. All you had to do was say it, “We need a bigger boat!” 🤦🏼♂️ you let us down. 🤣
Just out of curiosity was it a territory thing, a punch and a slap and run them out of the area or was it trying to get them out of the boat for din dins ? It hit hard, im wondering whether it tried to do to the boat what it does to seals when they breach you know? Maybe, interesting to know.
"my hunting ground", he said ... looks like the island from JAWS 2
he wasn't attacking the boat he was chasing seals and the seals used the boat to help them escape.. seals have been known to jump onto boats to escape
U know a lot, but thats not the case here.
I saw a ton of seals, it seamed he was outnumbered and trying to get way from them.
@@thecooler68 very much doubt the shark be intimidated.. once the shark has been spotted by the seals they just cruise about and warm up on the surface.. before diving down again. And wait for an oportunity to try and get one.. seals will pretty much just swim around the shark.. once they know where it is.... it probably just cruising in the surface and the boat drove over the shark.. as the people were only concentrating on the back of the boat..
@@thecooler68 🤣🤣🤣
@@ayex4484 actually that is the case
That was probably very painful for the shark. Imagine you want to catch your prey full throttle and hitting an heavy hard boat instead
I was thinking the same thing, I’m surprised the animal wasn’t momentarily stunned, given that I assume it hit the boat with its nose, and we all know how sharks respond to being hit on the nose
@@t-man5196 actually the snout or nose of a shark is not sensitive at least not in the way most believe
I imagine it was very much like when I opened the fridge at night and husband walks into the opened door, hoping for a midnight snack. 🤔
@@tylerschoen5643 whoa really?
@@t-man5196 yeah the gills and eyes are way more effective. Sharks bump into things all the time so they need a tough snout
That is not a shark at all.....That is something else but definitely not a shark....
Chief Brody, " You're gonna need a bigger boat.."
This was no boating accident, and it wasn't Jack the ripper either
very good.
That’s it. I’m done. I’m through wasting my time arguing with a man who’s lining up to be a hot lunch. I’ll see you later...
Jack the kipper?
"I think we need a bigger boat".....!!!!!
That’s not all
There still a hell of a fish out there

"you're in the water, the shark's in the water. Our shark". And the farewell song starts.. I love that movie. I was a kid when it came out. Other kids were scared. I wanted to go fishin'.
@@comfortablynumb9342 I was a kid too, and I felt the same. Time to go fishing with dad at South Padre Island!

That was fierce! You could tell the power on that!!!!
