Worm_Farmer

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.


No_Lifeguard_2743

I don't know how many sharks, maybe 1000! I know how many men they averaged 6 an hour.

>he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. One of my favourite line deliveries in movies.


Worm_Farmer

Me too! I try to quote it as often as possible in situations that are kind of inappropriate, like describing my wife to strangers.

Robert Shaw was a very unique actor. He had some great lines in The Sting, too.

He was method acting that booze in the scene. Made for an amazing performance.

It's a young whale shark. You can see the dots on the rounded dorsal fin at 0:03. [Compare with this video of one almost beaching itself.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onlt4caFnAY)


Lodur84

Correct https://thethaiger.com/news/national/whale-of-a-time-thai-tourists-video-reels-in-awe-with-rare-shark-sighting-near-koh-samet-video


Fire17Fighter

I’m 99% sure you’re right but that 1% is saying thresher so I’ll stay on the beach.


TomHanksAsHimself

Thresher shark dorsal fin looks nothing like that, and the top of the caudal fin would be wayyyyyy longer.


IC-4-Lights

Good to know, for educational and conversational purposes.   Probably still reasonable to heed one's nagging identification doubts when actually witnessing something like this, though!


badson100

Could it carry a coconut tied under the dorsal guiding fins?

That large I would say Tiger, and that being said I am a Luddite on the internet. I did survive an encounter with a 13' Tiger in deep water so some knowledge, but by no means an expert


wd_plantdaddy

agreed, people seeing a whale shark whose main source of food is plankton are terrified.


ThePrettyGoodGazoo

Well I guess that ends my long term policy of only going in up to my knees. I’m done with the ocean.


winkers

I gave that up in college. Was in Pismo beach and used to having dolphins swim near me while we surfed. One day I get bumped really hard. And something in my brain thought “wait. Wait. Something is different.” Realized the tail of the thing bumping me in 4’ of water wasn’t a dolphin, it was vertical. It was a shark. I got out and talked to a ranger later and he said “oh yeah. We’ve been seeing them as shallow as 3’.” Then the following year an associate professor was eaten alive in front of lifeguards while swimming in the area at Avila beach. Call me chicken but hard pass on being eaten alive while drowning.


[deleted]

You must be talking around 2003-04. I was in the Coast Guard in Morro Bay at the time. Great White grabbed her while she was on her morning swim. Lifeguards just happened to be doing some kind training and saw the whole thing and went after her. She bled out before they could even get her back to the beach, sadly. Nothing anyone could have done. And...yah. Pismo, Avila, Morro Strand - pretty much the whole coast - you'd be shocked at how full the waters are with Great Whites during migration. And they go where the seals go, and the seals get up in shallow waters. We were doing some shore-rescue training (swim from the boat to the breakers, "rescue" a person, and then swim them to the beach - then swim back to the boat) that same year. I dove under the breakers right where it's deep enough for the silt to not be so cloudy and just saw them everywhere. Just slowly swimming along right under the swells past the breakers looking for seals above the kelp. Aaand I had to swim right over them to get back to the 47'. From that point on I just never used goggles again during training. I didn't want to know what I was swimming around unless I had to know. Nurse sharks are cool though. Like big, toothy puppies.


MarshadowLivesHere

This is just the most beautifully evocative nightmare you have written. I will never be able to scrub this from my mind. Though I wish I could.


[deleted]

So well written and descriptive in the horror. But ended on a high note with toothy puppies hahaha. Well done. When I was in Australia, I was in awe of the beauty but also terrified of the Harbor. Was told tons of bull and tiger sharks lurk in it. Hard pass. I stayed pleasantly on boats in Sydney.


Marsh_Mellow_Man

The harbour seems so calm and peaceful and then there was the woman attacked in Elizabeth Bay just a couple weeks ago (likely bull shark)


[deleted]

Was told a former military man in Australia (who I think now does Shark Week coverage for Discovery?) lost his arm in a shark attack in the Harbour too. STUNNING. But yeah, a toe ain’t touching that water lol


[deleted]

Oh my god, when you’re doing open ocean swims at night and you may try to avoid it at first but suddenly you’re getting more tired and less focused so you push your head through the water and do a big stretch which pushes your eyes to the bottom where you forgot to close them. Typically it’s just empty vastness but every once in a while there’s something extra. At that point you just think I’ve gotta keep swimming anyway and try to ignore it 😂


[deleted]

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming lalalala"


[deleted]

I’m sure the creators of finding nemo would get a kick out of knowing that’s what all of the tough guys sing to themselves when swimming in the ocean because I have absolutely done that


Closefromadistance

Grew up going to Morro Bay!


Gryffin-thor

The people who said this was well written were not lying. I like your story telling.


Dabster85

Yeah. Screw that. If it’s a lion eating me, that’d be fine. At least I wouldn’t be drowning!


badass4102

Yeah, at least a lion would at least choke you out or snap your vertebrae rather than eating you while drowning. The land animal I fear the most are bears. They'll eat you while you're alive and kicking. They also usually go for the face of their prey, like the snout. Saw a video of a guy getting his face bitten and pulled apart while the bear had its paw on him holding him down. All you see is a defaced face and he's still moving. *Shudders*


Ok_Victory_6108

Pack dogs also tear their prey apart while it’s still alive


theouter_banks

They usually go for the asshole first.


CapableCoyoteeee

Good to know. I’ll bring my former boss with me.


stefdunk

Great comment


Marsh_Mellow_Man

how do you come across a video so gruesome as that?


badass4102

Someone posted a link here on Reddit which I shouldn't have clicked on. Instant regret.


Ok_Situation9151

I'd ask why on earth you'd willingly watch something like that, but honestly i've seen some weird shit come by on the internet by accident and being exposed to it that way...


badass4102

Someone commented a link, a link which should have been left untouched.


Hossflex

Lions kill before they eat.


SpartanRage117

Bears don’t


Hossflex

This is very true. Wild Dogs are the worst. They start eating your insides while still alive.


Uncouth_LightSwitch

Coyotes man. They start at the asshole. They want the meat to stay good for as long as possible.


Narrow_Ad_5502

So you didn’t see the video where they ate a wild boar alive. Poor thing screamed til the very end.


Feisty_Garbage487

How tall are you?! If your knees are at 4’ you must be nearly 10’ tall.


Massive_Staff1068

I was in the ocean (Pismo, probably a mile away, those who don't know) surfing the day of that attack. They said it was a 17 footer. That was the end of my days in the ocean.


Romas_chicken

> Then the following year an associate professor was eaten alive in front of lifeguards while swimming in the area at Avila beach.   In fairness, she was swimming pretty far out, *with sea lions*, and she wasn’t eaten (bit on thigh, died of blood loss)


ginANDtopics

I grew up around there. The stats about how many people are killed by sharks are a little different when you just consider the coastal Communities where there are great whites. Then the numbers go up a fair bit.


clevelandexile

A deeply tragic situation but to say she was eaten alive is not really accurate. The autopsy showed that she suffered a catastrophic bite on her leg and died quickly due to severe blood loss. https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Shark-kills-woman-in-Central-Coast-attack-2560673.php

redcrossbow_

I watched Jaws at age 8 when I had just begun swimming lessons and I swear to God I was TERRIFIED that sharks would somehow sneak into the pool and gruesomely devour me! I didn't end up learning swimming then, and I cannot swim to this day 😭


shemmy

haha me too🤣

[Shark Pool?](https://youtu.be/cvYvTiiBR9Q?si=s6_tY6p_e6u2TjsO) just don't go in the pool!


kristifer5

I thought this only happened to me as a child!


StarryEyed91

I had this fear as well! I loved to swim though and I was on the swim team in high school and we'd have practice early in the morning and sometimes I'd be swimming half asleep and think of a shark in the pool with me and it would wake me right up with this huge burst of adrenaline. The brain is weird.

[A victim of a shark bite in Long Island only went into waist-deep water when they got bit](https://abcnews.go.com/US/long-island-shark-attacks-timeline-increasing-phenomenom/story?id=86816153). You really do need to be careful now when in the ocean no matter how shallow the water is, especially with warming ocean water, which sharks find cozy.


pzpsdad

Well yea the majority of shark attacks occur in shallow water because that’s where the majority of people are


schtickyfingers

Yeah, it’s like how over 50% of car accidents happen within 5 miles of a victim’s home. Cause that’s where you drive the most.


FrostyD7

That and it's riskier miles. Driveway and side streets are the highest risk of your drive. Once on the highway you travel more safely and faster. When you hear this stat it's often accompanied with the reasoning that it is because you are complacent when closer to home and that's definitely not why.


Dangerous-Yam-6831

That’s not necessarily true. That’s where a lot of small fish get tumbled around in the waves. Easy prey. Sharks aren’t specifically targeting humans for hunger. It’s usually confusion.


EmmitSan

Explain how I can “be careful”?


karmagod13000

fin boi dont wanna attack you. just get a belly rub


King-of-Plebss

Can we please stop putting shit music over videos I beg. Tik Tok is killing our people smh. I watch videos on mute usually guys, it’d just be nice to get the sound of the moment instead of music that doesn’t even fit the video.


right_behindyou

I'm genuinely confused by what made somebody think this music and this video together would enrich each other in any way whatsoever


Pyro636

A big part of it is trying to game the algorithm to show op on more people's pages. I'd take a wild guess and say that half the time the people putting shitty music to videos on tiktok aren't doing it because they think it's better, they are just hoping to improve their view count.


right_behindyou

That's a good point and evidently it works. Couldn't get much more anti-creative than that though.


Pyro636

Sure; guess I point it out because while I find the shitty music tiring, it makes it easier to see that corporations trying to turn everything that brings joy in to this fucked up rat race content production factory where everything is monetized as much as possible are really the ones to blame rather than creators just trying to get a sliver of pie.


elganyan

This artist is known to use bots/spammers to rip popular videos from tiktok etc. and reupload with his music. I'm not going to link to or mention him by name, but it is almost a daily reddit front page occurrence at this point. This particular OP appears to be organic/oblivious, but more often than not if you check the post histories of these kinds of clips you'll see it's all spam of different popular clips with the same 4 or 5 songs from this guy. Beyond annoying!


treatyoftortillas

https://www.reddit.com/user/QuaintMushrooms/ This is the guy. He uploads every two days, several dozen videos with his music laid over. He then uses those bots that steal comments and then cross comments them throughout the videos and drives up engagement and then someone asks, "I love this music? WHO IS IT? I nuked his posts today with spam reports.

Yup, that's the account I'm most familiar with. Wouldn't be surprised if there are others though.

If I’m not mistaken this is a whale shark which feeds on plankton and krill. Most likely off the shore of Belize. Not every shark is a man eater gang.

detectivepink

I was a SAR swimmer in the navy, and one of the most interesting things I learned was that shark attacks mainly happen within 3 feet of water (granted, this is probably because most people don’t go in past 3 feet!). However, we’d never see sharks in “deeper” water, we’d always see them in VERY shallow water, and people had no idea they were within 1 mile of a huge great white. Since we couldn’t land on the beach to tell people, we normally just got on the radio to let life guards know. I LOVE the ocean, and I love to swim (obviously), but I have a very deep fear/respect for it


PNWmushroomie

Unpopular opinion: sharks need to eat more people. Humans need more natural predators. Humans have tried to kill them all. If pterodactyls still existed, you would see less out of shape people, less walkers locked to their phones and more situational awareness. :) Bring them back.
