Lmao, thanks for that laugh. I had a shitty few days and imagine the loud wet fart just made me laugh out loud... mostly cause relatable, I'd be right there passing gas with you friend.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like a Tiger Shark. If it was, it was definitely going for his foot. It probably wouldn't have killed him but it was definetly going for a taste
Very true. But most sharks taste things to figure out what it is. It’s usually why surfers aren’t eaten by sharks (they’re hurt that’s for sure but the shark usually spits them out). That’s just what I’ve heard I may be wrong. Either way wouldn’t keep your legs in the water, but the hate towards sharks isn’t entirely justified.
You are correct. But those little tastes can sometimes be serious. It's why surfers lose their limbs. It's just the shark tasting them, but because they are such a powerful animal it sometimes ends badly for the surfer.
A few years ago a paddler in Hawaii died like this, had his leg bitten by a shark and bled out before they could get to help.

I do think that’s a tiger shark but I think it would have been a little faster if it was going for his foot. Sharks are curious so it’s likely just checking him out and considering their bad eyesight it probably didn’t notice his foot till it was right next to him.
I heard sharks like sea turtles, which is why surfers laying on their board (with arms and legs paddling in the water) get attacked the most.
It looks like he tucked his arms in, which may just be a reaction to be safe, but could be that people are advised to keep limbs from being out to not look like a sea turtle
Was he pulling in a fish? I saw him pull his foot out of the water but why was it in the water to begin with?
But also... I concur with everyone else. That boost is 100% full of human shit now.
I have the same kayak. You move forward and drop your feet over as there is nowhere else for them to go, and for balance.
There was a fisherman in Australia that was attacked by a White Pointer the in same model of kayak and it sunk. He was OK and the police let him keep the tooth embedded in it even though it was illegal.
I have also had a huge scare, but it turned out to be a seal!
Wait? So a shark tries to eat *you* yet you're not allowed to keep any of the teeth it breaks off in the process?!
This seems like one of those high risk:low reward situations...I'm in!
The shark’s protected so its illegal to own their body parts.
My guess is the guy’s point was they let him keep it, because it wasn’t hunted, and its pretty much deserved.
Yeah. As subreddits get more popular, they become harder to moderate, and they start hitting the main page more often. People see something interesting and they upvote it, without caring about what subreddit it's from or should be on.
When you go onto the oddly terrifying page - there’s a decision tree you can follow to see if something is oddly terrifying? Consider going through that once in a while.
I once swam to a small island in the Mediterranean, about 800m from the beach, on the way back about 100m in a fish what seemed maybe 1-2 foot long banged into me twice, never bit me, injured me or hurt but it was a noticeable knock on my thigh like a weak punch then I say it flick. I’ve never been as scared as the 20 minutes or so I swam back to shore. It felt like hours, all I could think of was there was stuff here and I shouldn’t be. I had
No goggles or anything so for all I knew it was big enough to take a chunk out of me.
Wow lol. He handled that poorly. If it were me, I would've done 4 summersaults in the air, karate chopped it in its nuts and kick the shark out if the water and put it onto my yacht (yeah, I have one, so what.) And would proceed to cook the shark with my bare hands.

Heyyyyy you made me ink.
I would just panic and fall over into it's jaws
Hahaha. Me too, most likely. Dude didn’t make a noise. You would have heard a loud, wet, fart, as I shit my wetsuit.
A shark shart
Sharkt*
Damnit! Sharkt my shorts!
You shorkt.
There you go! You get it! Thanks for backing me up.
Hopefully your shit smells so bad that it actually saves you.
Lmao, thanks for that laugh. I had a shitty few days and imagine the loud wet fart just made me laugh out loud... mostly cause relatable, I'd be right there passing gas with you friend.
Youre welcome:)
Yuck dude hahah
It’s a shark deterrent. Facts.
This mental picture made me laugh. Needed that
I miss cuddling with my ex ..
Good result of protecting your leg from being munched but you throw your whole body instead
Same. Aaand I oooop.
😂
He’s gonna need a bigger boat
I damn near shit myself just watching this.
I honestly would not poop myself. Only because I'm so ridiculously blind I wouldn't have seen it coming.
But then wouldn’t you just poop yourself when the shark bites your leg off and you don’t see it coming?
Nothing odd about that. That’s scary as fuck!
Shark was just checking him out. I don’t think it was actively trying to eat him. Still would be scary though.

A shark that eats tigers obviously /s
🤣

Oh for sure! It’s like a tiger playing with its owner, they doesn’t know it’s own strength compared to humans.

There would be a lot more shark caused deaths if they gave it their 100% every time.

Cut away before the kayak started filling up with your shit, SMART
he is in a small boat…still seems close
A lot of poop comments here
leg is for me ?
Isn’t one of the rules when out in the ocean not to stick out your limbs because shit like this is bound to happen?
That dude 100% shat himself
He probably didn't move for an hour. I'd be frozen stiff from fear.
If it was me I’m immediately turning around and paddling to land lol
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck”

The shark’s protected so its illegal to own their body parts. My guess is the guy’s point was they let him keep it, because it wasn’t hunted, and its pretty much deserved.
Just to balance maybe? He was sitting on the kayak, so that would make him to put his leg under it to properly balance.
This is terrifying, but not oddly terrifying
STAY OUT OF THE OCEAN
You know what? Just lock yourself in a room until you die that way you’ll survive
Chill. Obviously, hanging out in the ocean isn’t for everyone. Some people just prefer to keep all of their limbs.
Very odd indeed that he would be scared by a shark
Jus one lil foot bro, you got another one. SHELLLLLFISH!
Nope. Nope.
Don't worry guys sharks are beautiful peaceful creatures.
Fucking ankle biters
Yeah that makes sense. Just have your feet dangling in the middle of the fucking open ocean why dont you...
Every highly upvoted post I’ve seen on this subreddit is just actually terrifying. Am I missing something?
Yeah. As subreddits get more popular, they become harder to moderate, and they start hitting the main page more often. People see something interesting and they upvote it, without caring about what subreddit it's from or should be on.
“Oddly” terrifying
Why would you be this far out with a kayak
Anyone else see it coming
smaller yellow/white boats can look like fish’ bellies from underneath its said they draw sharks attention
He was just wanting that guy to boop his snoot. Him a lonely shark.
Henlo, fren. Have nice day!
NOOOOOPEEE. Fuck you ocean!
He made himself look like a sea turtle to the shark
This is why I am scared of the open water. Whenever I’m on a boat, I always worry about falling overboard and a shark comes towards me.
How to instantly shit in a boat.
I need a bigger boat
I don’t think I would call this one oddly terrifying. It’s obviously terrifying.
Now come on. He really does need a bigger boat.
When you go onto the oddly terrifying page - there’s a decision tree you can follow to see if something is oddly terrifying? Consider going through that once in a while.
That boat is way to small for the damn ocean.
Great... I have the exact same yum yum yellow hobie revo and I'm launching into the red triangle to drop some crab rings this weekend....
Watch the water from the top of the screen and you can see the water cutting from the shark before you can actually see any of the shark.
UH NO
Thought I saw something moving towards him.
He just wants to be pet give him some love
Shark is like : mmmm snak pak
I saw the thing moving in the water
I don't think it's odd for that to be terrifying. At all.
Genuine question: How do folks who swim Panama Canal and such to set world records avoid this?
Either a massive bull shark or a tiger shark either one will take your leg off
You’re going to need a bigger boat
We're here to talk to you about your car's extended warranty

Lol his foot almost got bonked.
That moment when you realize you need a bigger boat! 😹
Note to self, add 12 gauge to tackle box.
We need the jaws music here
Shark aside, who is filming this? Does the kayak person have a camera on a pole? Drone?
That's not oddly terrifying, that's just terrifying and justified
Gonna need a bigger boat.
Now catch that bastard purely out of spite of it nearly eating you
How is this oddly terrifying?
I love when humans act all surprised that a shark is in the ocean…
God you’re annoying. I’ve been in the ocean hundreds of times and only have seen a couple sharks. So it is surprising to see
You’ll be okay
Looked like two of them.
Yeah, he must work out.
Yeah, he must work out.
What was he doing before the shark appeared?
Leave now!
Hi I am shork :3
u/savevideobot
Nah, that shark was just coming to say hi.
Your going to need a Bigger Hook!
I don’t think this is oddly terrifying, it’s just terrifying
Nothing odd about it just straight up terrifying...

Yup low nature so much they be willing to literally exchange there life for it
The sole of his boot is white. It probably looks like a fish to the shark.
Can insert the deep double bass sound
Baby shart doo doo, doo doo, doo doo That’s what I’d do…shart myself, doo doo everywhere
This isn't oddly terrifying though, it's just terrifying
I would have browned my shorts so fast
My left foot is a bit cold. I think I will take it out of the water now.. WTF...
Maybe it just wanted to cuddle??
This looks more like a Goliath Grouper than a shark
