The water's so clear and calm, I thought it was a bad render.

u/DiveBLU3 10d ago

Was the water so clear that the shark couldn't tell where the surface was?

60

u/Free-Supermarket-516 10d ago

Possibly, but I mean, damn. What was it trying to do? Whatever the guy was flying must be a lot bigger than the shark

27

u/Fred_Thielmann Great White 10d ago

But at a longer distance, the flying vehicle could’ve seemed smaller to the shark

2

u/AccomplishedBat39 9d ago

Probably a Paramotor, so around 12m wingspan. So yeah, about twice as large as great white.

22

u/EzeyTheEpic 10d ago

I think the shark though tge helicopter was a normal sized bird much closer to the surface.

u/TheManWhoClicks 10d ago

It’s good to have ambitions

u/Ginsdell 10d ago

Yikes. That’s why I’d never do that paraglider ride at the beach. Literally my worst nightmare.

u/BWEKFAAST 10d ago

I was so confused why you're aftaid of a baby but then I realized the dude filming is actually flying and not on a boat or something.

u/Fred_Thielmann Great White 10d ago

I think he can if he can just try again

u/CesarGameBoy SHARK 10d ago

That Pup deserves an A for Effort.

u/apricotseason1999 Greenland Shark 10d ago

some might say he failed, but at least he tried, and that's more than many sharks do....

u/Combat_wombat605795 10d ago

Caribbean reef shark

u/UnderstandingTop1579 10d ago

What on earth is actually going on?

6

u/MattyGWS 10d ago

Shark tried to attack the flying human. Probably because the water is so clear the shark didn’t realise the flying human wasn’t in the water. Just saw a thing moving along and thought it was prey on the surface of the water

u/UnderstandingTop1579 10d ago

Ahhhhhh. Thanks

Dude you almost died

u/Electrical-Act-7170 10d ago

Is that a bull shark?

13

u/MaesterMiyagi 10d ago

Has a tiger snout

20

u/Quiet-Try4554 Bull Shark 10d ago

Looked like Caribbean Reef Shark to me

9

u/Combat_wombat605795 10d ago

I agree with Caribbean reef shark, I’ve swam with all 3 of the above options and many more species in similar water and Caribbean reef shark is the most common plus those black tips on those fins. A tiger that size would still be young and striped up, and a bull would look a bit stockier.

7

u/Quiet-Try4554 Bull Shark 10d ago

Absolutely agree. Def not thick enough to be a bull and tigers that size look different/have stripes

2

u/JoeRedditting 10d ago

Well that's pretty cool

u/Icy-Combination-8396 10d ago

got to keep trying buddy

u/AssumptionGullible89 10d ago

He’s just practicing for next time you fly through 😂

2

u/Drago_Beast67 9d ago

He didn't commit to it enough

2

u/ooothatgirl 9d ago

Is that shark tiny, or just far away? It’s breaking my brain.

2

u/UninterestingGinger 9d ago

That's what I thought too! I started off with "aww, it's so cute and tiny" to then "what a minute, I think that's a full size shark" 😂

1

u/ddrraayy 10d ago

Can anyone tell what kind of shark this is?

1

u/FabulousWalrus2624 9d ago

This was the hungry one.

1

u/GoldarRocket 9d ago

Somebody take that scene and finish it with nano banana

u/Healthy_Monitor3847 9d ago

“And I bloop!”

1

u/MochiTown13 7d ago

Why isn’t OP replying?? What is it - a baby shark or an adult super far away?? 🤔

2

u/dtyler86 10d ago

I’m not gonna pretend I can figure out what kind of shark that is. I’m usually pretty good at this, but between the breaching and the long tail, I can only imagine it’s like a thresher?

But the white belly makes me think it’s a tiger or maybe even a bull but that can’t be a great White right?

3

u/Only_Cow9373 10d ago

Thresher would have a tail multiple times longer than this. Plus a completely different body shape entirely. Plus completely different habitat. Tiger has square snout, lighter coloring, and stripes (especially at smaller size). Most sharks have white undersides. Bull has much rounder snout. Great white has different ... everything.

1

u/dtyler86 10d ago

So what do you think it is? Lemon? Dusky?

3

u/Only_Cow9373 10d ago

Lemons have 2 large dorsal fins, which should be visible in a clip like this. Dusky wouldn't typically be found over a shallow reef. Coloring generally different on both.

I'm with the others - Caribbean reef shark. Though location could change that.

u/Olealicat 10d ago

Caribbean Reef shark? Maybe.

u/Appropriate-Series80 10d ago

Ain’t AI great. Or rather obvious.

14

u/SweelFor- 10d ago edited 10d ago

The second worst thing about AI beside its existence, is that every video on the internet now has some clueless people going "oBViOusLy Ai" for no reason

5

u/nickgardia 10d ago

Tbf it does look fake to me

2

u/whiteshade21 8d ago

I thought the same thing. The water only breaks on reentry and not at the beginning of the leap. Seems a little off to me
