Oh really, then we'd better track down the videographer and tell him next time he's videoing somebody dragging a Great White shark back into the surf to make sure there are no kids around to ruin the experience for you.>> ^Pevs86:

Kids were annoying.

Am i right in thinking that dragging a shark backwards can drown it?


Something tells me it's not worse than laying in the sand.

I think "drown" is probably the wrong term technically. They extract oxygen from water, so it's impossible for them to drown (i.e. for their (non-existent) lungs to fill with water). But many shark species' gills function in a way such that they have to be moving forward in order for their gills to extract the oxygen. So I suppose dragging a shark backwards technically would be suffocating it (i.e. it's not getting enough oxygen to "breathe").

However, apparently science textbooks claim that if sharks don't move forward they "drown".

That is not a great white.....its more likely a tiger shark.
Great whites are ENORMOUS sharks.

Someone needs to watch their Shark Week

There used to be a museum for these things in Gippsland. The building was shaped like a huge worm, and you could go inside and they had a glass walled area where you could see these giant earthworms. Sadly the place closed and then became a weird place where they had a dead great white shark preserved in a tank (did not pay to see that), and I think it's shut down now

@spoco2 "white pointer" = Australian for great white.

Huh, I stand corrected. I didn't know they were one in the same, but there you go.

i love the introduction saying that its teeth are as big as a great white shark, not a great white shark's teeth, but the actual shark!
