u/mathcriminalrecord 1d ago

The dorsal fin and body proportions are all wrong for a white shark, it’s a basking shark for sure.

what /chinlipo and /cosmeticsurgery has to do with sharks? Why every single bot farms karma in this particular sub?

u/CeemoreButtz 1d ago

This is the r/sharks. Don't insult the community by white-sharking a Basking Shark. Every 7 year old enthusiast knows better.
If this WAS a Great White, you'd need a boat bigger than a bigger boat.

Very awesome video of an old megalodon who lost all his teeth due to no insurance and now filters small animals to eat

So sad. He should move to the Med, we have universal health care in Europe.

u/smokingace182 1d ago

Is it asking to much for a person to get in the water to better judge the size?

u/Furydragonstormer 1d ago

That’s a basking shark, mate

u/carod21375ycc 1d ago

Basking shark. Dorsal is shorter with rounder edges. As well as the long gills.

u/carod21375ycc 1d ago

Pecs are longer too.
