Shark does a spinning jump behind a surfer

14026says...

Before people go on about sharks being deadly and scary, adding this to the Fear channel or claiming that sharks eat surfers, consider the evidence:

* This is a long telephoto shot. The shark was likely at least 100m from the surfer.

* The shark was swimming directly upward, not toward any surfer. Probably chasing some smaller prey (which for a show like that I really hope it caught!).

Bug ups for the photographer. What an amazing shark shot. I love sharks and, no, I've never been bitten by one.

>> ^Dignant_Pink:
um, sharks are fish, not amphibians. sorry to be that guy, but come on, that one's easy.


Yes, you are correct. Sharks are not amphibious and have never been, but in the make-believe world I created before I wrote that sentence they were quite clearly mastering land and air.

Also to PuffyJacket45 concerning;
"* The shark was swimming directly upward, not toward any surfer. Probably chasing some smaller prey"

It's a Spinner shark
"It is capable of vertical spinning leaps out of the water as a feeding technique in which the shark spins through a school of small fish with an open mouth and then breaks the surface"
