I have seen a gathering , just like this, South of Nantucket. Hundreds of these magnificent creatures gathered in one place. I was on a party fishing vessel and we were returning to Montauk after a 3 day deep water offshore trip. Myself and the 2nd Capt. we're on the upper deck, just next to the wheelhouse. IWe were looking down on sharks ranging in size from 6' to well over 30' long. Youngsters to fully mature specimens. I remarked that I have never seen such a sight. Capt. responded that he is on the water pretty much every day and he had never seen anything like this. Truly a magnificent , one time experience.

I was very lucky to see 7 or 8 swimming up and down a beach in 3 rows, just slowly meandering from one row to the next.

Amazing animals, see them from time to time around Scotland, last time was September in Moray Firth, but never seen more than a handful at once. Incredible footage the UW cinetographer deserves a credit (KZbinrs, 'Credit, what's that then?).

Awesome!

[@thereadersvoice]

Now, THAT is truly amazing!! I was lucky enough to see one of these during a whale watch trip off California. They are so critically endangered that various government agencies ask mariners to report sightings for tracking and research purposes. It was a moment I will always remember. 😃🦈

[@goodun2974]

These are basking sharks; you might be thinking of whale sharks which are larger and much rarer.

They’re talking about us! I know it!… … or perhaps we have messed up all their habitats and they don’t have as many hang-out spots left? Or maybe both?

Imagine what we could have learned about our planet and its denizens had we invested all of the money given to NASA over the years and explored our own planet/oceans vs space exploration, where we send billion dollar equipment into space to be lost forever?
