Their snouts are little more blunt not so much torpedo shaped they also have larger eyes and don’t get as big as a great white.

I love how instead of plowing into the cameraman or Jeremey the Salmon Shark was just like "Ope, 'scuce me just gotta sneak right past ya."

[@shatner99]

Because those sharks are Canadian. British Columbia borders four US states-Alaska being one of them.

[@localfatty6376]

It’s strange to think that a shark out of all places would be in the Icy Alaskan waters , right next to the forests.

[@PatrickPierceBateman]

Sharks are everywhere. Somebody once caught a bull shark off the coast of St. Louis, Missouri, which is 1750 miles upriver from the Gulf of Mexico. There are bull sharks in Lake Nicaragua that migrate up the rivers like salmon. You are never safe from sharks.

[@PenguinoZsif888]

the sharks would not see me because i would be on the boat

[@brianisme6498]

Sharks don' t need to use their eyes. Their strongest senses are smell and electrosensory. Yes, sharks can detect electricity, meaning that they would be well aware something was there even if they can't see it.

[@bustarogers9990]

The only reason he jumped in with Salmon sharks is because they're not dangerous to humans at all , they've never killed a human and i don't even think there's a documented attack on a human being. Dolphins have harmed more humans than Salmon sharks.

[@mariozd971]

Probably not dangerous, but again people rarely swim in cold ocean where this shark lives

[@madison_russell04]

I mean they are called Salmon sharks after all. So doesn't seem they have a lot of taste for humans.

[@robwalsh9843]

Even so, they are powerful animals and capable predators. I wouldn't be as scared of being in the water with a salmon shark as I would with a great white or mako but I would still be cautious.

only about a dozen out of the 300 known shark species are dangerous. So, just because it's a shark doesn't mean it's going to eat you.

[@brianisme6498]

And even then there are only about 50 attacks each year and out of those 50 attacks, only about 12 actually die from it. Essentially your more likely to be killed by vending machines which actually kill 4 times as many people than sharks
