pretty cool...for anyone who hasn't seen a few sharks hit feeding mode up close...it is intense...

I went shark "fishing" in the Gulf of Mexico, when you get that blood in the water, those things go CAH----RAZY.

It was really cool to see up close

and yes, that does remind me of the train...only about 15 sharks in this tank though...

Why close the beach it would seem they would be quite full after their feeding frenzy. Once down in Key West we went bicycle riding and i saw a 9 foot nurse and a 7 foot hammerhead shark swam within two feet of the beach...I couldn't beleive they come in THAT close...swimmers were only 30 feet to their left. We yeelled for them to get out....SHARK, SHARK!

Peace

A lot of species come very close to shore. The nurse shark is one. Hammerheads close to shore are more rare, I think. But it's the bull sharks that really come close. They're also the most aggressive species and it's thought that they're responsible for more unprovoked attacks than any other species. Walking along the shore of a bay in the Florida panhandle once, I saw what I believe to be a bull shark VERY close to shore, in very shallow water...giving big splashes when it flicked its tail. Creeped me the hell out.

Early one morning (about 4 or 5 am) in Cancun I was walking drunk along the beach & decided to go for a swim. That turned out to be a very bad idea. I waded out to about chest-deep water...then I felt something bump me in the side. It was pitch-black and I couldn't see a thing, so I had no idea what it was...just that it felt BIG and it definitely was letting me know it was there. At that point, I "pulled a Jesus"....practically running on the surface of the water at top speed, screaming my lungs out.

Has anyone here seen "The Toy"? That scene when Richard Pryor goes out in the water to prove to the kid that there were no pirannahs, only to find out that there were? I'm pretty sure I looked like that getting out of the water.

This does remind me of what AMT is like sometimes.

Sometimes it's like good tennis match.

Sometimes it's like, as Paul Andrews said elsewhere, having piranha in the tank.

And sometimes it's a bit like a joke (which I'll modify a bit) that I heard in another life-time while helping construct a new house foundation:

A construction boss gets tired of hearing two of the site carpenters arguing politics and wants to keep them out of his way for a while so he tells them to go take a piss in a circular room. An hour later he finds the two men walking around and around in opposite circles.

If reincarnation is a reality, I want to come back as a shark.

They are BADASS (all caps warranted).

Thrivers, survivors, not to be fucked with.

Beautiful too, especially the oddest-looking ones.

Makes me love evolution that much more.

Wow, I didn't even realize that AOL was still around as a website, do they still charge by the minute? Still send out disks for 500 free minutes? Get off of FOX and AOL!!!!

the beach was closed as a precaution cause there have been shark attacks there before. dont want one of the buggers forgetting what hes doingduring the frenzy and taking a bite out of a hapless human. oops didnt think that tasted fishy enough.

It was a beautiful mermaid.


Seriously though, that's some image you've imprinted in my mind. I wouldn't like to be in that situation.

If I hadn't been so drunk, I wouldn't have gone in the water either.

It's easily the most frightened I've ever been in my life.
My advice: if it's dark, DON'T GO IN THE WATER!!!
A friend told me later it was probably a shark..."yeah, they come close to shore at night to feed"

Dude, haven't you seen the opening scene of Jaws?

The number 1 reason I'll never swim in the ocean at night!

Of course I saw Jaws...like I said, people...I was really, really, REALLY drunk!

What can I say? It seemed like a good idea at the time.
