DO PEOPLE NOT REALIZE THAT IS NOT A GREAT WHITE SHARK?!!? 1) 0:10 At the beginning, you can see a bunch of separate fins and multiple jumping/breaching aquatic creatures. Red flag: sharks don’t travel in pods... dolphins do. 2) In the slow-motion you can CLEARLY see that tail is NOT a shark’s, theirs are “vertical” wave SIDE-TO-SIDE and are scythe-shaped. That is either a whale or dolphin tail, and judging from the size probably a dolphin. 1:31 3) Not to mention, sharks would RARELY, if EVER, “attack” a boat randomly like that. Dolphins, however, are curious, and that one probably just bumped the boat by accident or to investigate. To the creator: Yes, this was certainly an exciting and frightening encounter for you, but you could show some respect and not add to the already-overblown and unfair demonization and irrational fear of sharks, especially Great Whites. They are not monsters, they are creatures just trying to live peacefully in their own home.

They are also very agile and quick and can turn on the spot faster to change direction than a great white. There's lots of footage out of them approaching and even chasing GWS! Plus they are fierce: all those scars around eyes, gills and heads of mature great whites? Are often by seals! This is not a helpless species just waiting to be preyed on! Why do you think only adult, fully grown GWS hunt seals while the juveniles (who are 7-12'/2-4m big already) eat fish?!

Not a chance. Orcas are black not grey. Also orcas have brilliant white underside to their tail flukes with a black trailing edge. What you are seeing is the underside of a Great White which is an off white colouration. Also the body of a killer whale is more pinched at the tail where as in this case the body has a more uniform taper which is consistent to a Great White.

[@Muntedbug]

This was likely a defensive attack. The shark saw the boat approaching where it was hunting and it defended its food source, which is why it didn't follow when they tried to leave. Don't swim with seals for this reason. A shark won't mistake you for an animal it's been hunting for millennia. But it might see you as a potential snack or a competitor. Don't swim at dawn, dusk or night during requiem shark feeding times. Don't swim in muddy or churned up water, especially near the mouths of rivers and deltas. Dangerous sharks prefer this environment for hunting. Don't swim right near channels and drop offs. If you encounter a shark that has taken an interest in you, treat it like any predator. Face it as you back away, make sure it knows you can see it. Remain calm so it thinks you could be a threat or risky to take a bite. Keep something between you and the shark if you have a rod or surfboard or whatever. Get out of the water as soon as possible. Do not feed sharks.

[@MikeBesk]

This is terrible advice. Always swim when it's dark so sharks can't see you. Slap the water hard as you swim to intimidate them. If faced with an attack, wave your arms and legs frantically so you look bigger and most importantly, never make eye contact with a shark. They'll take it as a challenge. Move away as quickly as possible without looking back.

[@nicholasmargagliano1833]

cyril layman sharks are profoundly able to pick up scents like u said. On top of that, they have vibration sensors and can pick up the slightest movement in nearby waters. I’m not arguing they’re better than orcas, my point is sharks are still not to be taken lightly. Sure, an orca can dispatch it quickly, but give a shark an orcas brain idc about size, the teeth and sheer power would prevail. Not to mention how fast they are.

[@nicholasmargagliano1833]

cyril layman well they are a whale, they’re all known to be big on their own scale. All I’m saying is intelligence is all a great white needs to have a fair shot in a 1v1.

[@RockedOnDetroitLions]

Just because you haven’t seen a shark flap a tale like this (that’s not what it was doing) and just because you think sharks were breaching (they were seals not sharks) doesn’t mean this boat was not attacked. #1 seals were breaching, swimming and diving around the island. #2 the shark didn’t flap its tail, however they have done this on many videos on shark week. #3. The shark more than likely came up from the depths to attack what it thought was a large easy meal, or from the side. When it hit a moving vessel the shark more than likely was moving fast and twisted after the impact causing the tail to come out of the water. That was a very hard hit. #4. It’s clearly a white shark based on the tail. Not a whale, orca or dolphin. #5. Couldn’t see the size or anything on the boat to really compare for size. However, the driver saw it and it must have been large enough to take off.

The ones that enjoy the affection, like having thier chins rubbed. There are a lot of cool videos of sharks seeking to be petted on KZbin. There are populations of sharks that will swim up divers and hold still while hooks are removed from thier mouths. It doesn't bother me that you didn't know that this video isn't one of a shark. What bothers me, is that person posted a video of an orca tagging a boat and calling it a shark attack. Orcas hunt great white sharks and they only eat the liver. If an orca kills a whale, only the tongue is eaten. I have seen a video of two orcas tossing a living seal back and forth between them like a ball. Orcas in captivity regularly kill thier handlers ( although I can't blame them under those circumstances). If a shark kills something, it does it quickly. Thank you for being curious.

That is not a shark at all.....That is something else but definitely not a shark....

It is. The tail obviously belongs to a Great White. The perspective is unusual, because it's diving head first and the belly facing towards the boat. So you got to see the white coloured bottom part of the tail.

To all those who swear it's a whale, maybe an Orca. Watch the paused image at 1.32. That is the side of the shark's tail. It is asymmetrical and has the small triangular shape at the top (left). The dark colour is the top of its body and the white is the underneath of it's body. If it was an Orca, the underneath of the tail would be white. This one is dark on both sides. The part that could be mystaken for a whale's spine is the keel, which is on both sides of the shark's tail.

"It was a shark!", this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller, and it wasn't any coral reef, and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark!

Also if it were an Orca that little tinny would've been upside down in a heartbeat...And yes...Clearly a shark's tail...And a white's tail at that..
