Cool. But the thing is ugly as ****!

yeah

When I heard that it died in captivity, I was like, "Not a smart move, guys. Not a smart move at all."

Well, at least we now know of another animal that's not extinct that we thought was. That thing's ugly as heck, though. hmm And it moves in such a strange way...

It's gay as hell that they took that thing out of it's natural habitat but I say it's an eel species, not a shark.

man, i am a huge shark fan. to capture them and confine them to marine parks is just cruel.

Wasn't it forced out of its deep-sea home by a warm water current, which is how they found it? Then it was removed.

all these idiots who go diving and/or surfing, when they are attacked by a shark, are like "why'd the shark attack me? i wasnt bothering it."

you were in the sharks backyard, brainiac. of course its gonna attack. not all the time, but if it happens, dont be surprised, dummy.

? ? ?

i am defending sharks, saying it is wrong to capture them for our own selfish gain. i am also saying that when someone is attacked by a shark, i have no sympathy for them.

If I was a scuba diver and that shark was coming at me...I would freeze in panic.

Zombies, Killing plants, Feminazis aren't as scary as sharks under water.

exactly. if a shark attacks you, you are toast.

It's global warming I tell ya. The shark was confused by the warming waters...











hysterical

still, why capture him? catch and release him into open waters, i say.

Feminazis? I dunno, they're pretty scary.

I don't know, either way, they could've done something different.

Not necessarily. Most sharks that attack you think you're a seal or some other type of prey, and after they take the first bite and realise you're not what they thought you were, they let go. It's not that way ALL the time, but most of the time it is. Most shark attacks are not fatal.

That shark looked like a shark zombie, so I think it wins out against feminazis.

i meant to say that if a shark attacks you with intent to kill. sorry.

You can blame people for killing or capturing sharks, but you can't blame a person for being attacked by a shark. What're they supposed to do, be less meaty when they enter the water?

Poked it back down to the depths.


Anyway, I say we build metal fences around the natural habitats of animals! woot We're not taking them out of their natural habitats, but we sure as hell make sure they don't escape!

But seriously, anyone who goes scubba diving should know the risks that they take, especially if it's in shark infested waters. There should be certain areas where the sharks are protected and people shouldn't go. Of course, the sharks move away, so anyone who ends up being bitten by a shark most likely wouldn't have been bothering the shark or been invading it's personal space. I forget what I'm trying to say here.

Was cool to see that something like that is still alive, altho seeing as it died, it might be extinct now.

I hope that's not the case.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we found out that the Dodo wasn't really extinct? Or a dinosaur! Any dinosaur! Hopefully not a 30-ton carnivore that would take 18 rounds from a helicopter to take down, though. hmm

Wishfull thinking on the dodo part but if you wanna see another living dinosaur check out the crocodiles and alagators next time you go to the zoo.

Or the Tuatara.

They're not quite real dinosaurs.

Always glad to have spent 5 minutes of my life making you smile.

so you agree that when someone is attacked, they should have saw it as a possibility? not a high one, but one nonetheless?

I agree that they should be prepared for a shark attack, but I believe that they should be pitied if they are attacked. The sharks also need our sympathy. Who the hell wants to bite some rancid piece of meat wrapped in rubber?

have you heard about these fishermen who catch sharks, cut off their fins, then throw the sharks back into the water?

Yeah, it's for sharksfin soup. Chinese delicacy. I saw if the shark gets its fin cut off, just keep the body. Donate it's skeleton to science. I think that the hunting of sharks for fins is becoming more rare, since the government is trying to keep the environmentalists quiet. hmm

they were throwing them back into the ocean, man. how cruel is that? you do know what happens to a shark if it does not remain in motion, dont you?

Yeah, it sinks and dies.

I like Mako sharks!

bull sharks are cool, they go in fresh water.

Some Great-Hammerheads can go into 3 feet deep water! shock The shallows are no longer safe! firefirefireph

They can go fairly far up the Mississippi river, plus they are super aggressive and territorial. They like to take bites out of folks in the water.

they are pretty much swimming trash compactors. they eat anything.
