The immense size of the basking shark

The basking shark is the second largest living fish in the world; only smaller than the whale shark in overall size. Being a filter feeder, basking sharks have no desire to attack or eat humans/other large animals. True gentle giants.

When people say they have seen a megalodon, most of the time it is a basking shark or a whale shark

The people that saw this are lucky. One of the most beautiful and majestic animals in the world, also the biggest shark in the world. That’s a one in a lifetime moment

Calm down. That's a basking shark. Harmless unless you're zooplankton.

[tisssyyy]

Why’s everyone screaming they’re literally harmless and you see them all the time in UK lol

[michaelmulheran]

Absolutely one of the most amazing and scary things you will ever see, then realize it's a BASKING SHARK 🦈

Humans act so surprised seeing big fish in the water. Like imagine a seal being like “Oh My God” seeing humans on land.

Every year when I was aged 6-15 my dad would take me fishing in Looe bay Cornwall and we would always see Nelson the one eyed seal and feed him and we would see a giant basking shark just under the surface filter feeding it was amazing memories I’m 28 none and took my 5 year old son a few months ago and he saw his first one

[Mellysgot]

The sea is a very misterious place…if that thing comes up to the top that casually just imagine the size of the things that CANT come up to the top like that…

Seeing a huge fish out in the open ocean is insane

[chrissimpson]

Im more curious as to why dude is just hanging out at the top of the mast like its his regular chill spot😂

[kevinhunkin]

That’s a 20 footer, the biggest one ever recorded was 40 feet, I’ve encountered these scuba diving it’s like a bus coming towards you, you let out a yelp and then your heart starts beating again ….

[Green_star_line]

They act like it’s gonna destroy the boat 🤣

[guadalupe]

Why do people have to scream at what they don’t understand? Simple minds
