Drone spots enormous great white shark in Esperance, Western Australia

Esperance documentary maker Dave Riggs filmed the shark circling an 8.5 metre patrol boat at Fourth Beach at Twilight Bay on Saturday.

Footage at .08 seconds gives the correct perspective so around 16 foot..End footage the shark is way closer to the drone relative to the boat..

The water there appears to be between 4-6 meters deep and the shark is cruising maybe a meter or two off the bottom? That White Shark is every bit of 6 meters in length.

With a quick measurement it is about 30% shorter than the boat so 28ft less 30% is 19.6 ft maybe

Pause it at 0:12 thats where drone is equal to the boat and shark and by looking at it there it looks to be around half the length of the boat, so around 4 to 4.5 metres max.

Arround 5, 5 meters I think. She is huge.

8.5m (28 foot) boat to put it in perspective so at least a 18-20 foot plus white shark, very large for waters this clear and shallow

Wait in Jaws he had attacked the boat at least 6 times by was that not real?

The patrol boat, is just checking on Bruce, the Australian "Cultural Diversity" ambassador.

What a beautiful, magnificent creation of nature.

I measured and compared it with the boat.  It looks like about 22-24 feet if the boat is 8.5 meters (almost 29 feet).   Female, no doubt, but how can you verify that it's not another species like a whale shark?

"Not with 3 barrels he cant" 😮

[Angelheaven]

I think we are gonna need a bigger boat!

This is why i always carry a flamethrower when i got boating in Australia.

Come on humans, jump in, the water is fine, I promise I'm vegan.

Nice trailer. When is the movie coming out?

[sharonm.t.]

That is a 30ft boat +- 😮 imagine it. I also read it was a 20 ft shark!

[fortherepublic]

That’s why I live where it hurts to breathe at -54 and the water freezes

[bazman]

That's not a great white?what type of shark is it?

[mtbl]

16' - 18' Great White. That boat is no more than 24' long.

[divinerapiet]

that is a big ass shark. Look at the size of their boat compared to the shark. Australia is scary. Full of monsters
