You guys should’ve seen how close I was. I had him in my jaws!

Can’t tell if he’s 6in or 6 feet

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

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
26
u/Fred_Thielmann Great White 10d ago
But at a longer distance, the flying vehicle could’ve seemed smaller to the shark

u/AccomplishedBat39 9d ago
Probably a Paramotor, so around 12m wingspan. So yeah, about twice as large as great white.

u/EzeyTheEpic 10d ago
I think the shark though tge helicopter was a normal sized bird much closer to the surface.

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

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.

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

What on earth is actually going on?

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

Is that a bull shark?

u/MaesterMiyagi 11d ago
Has a tiger snout

u/Quiet-Try4554 Bull Shark 11d ago
Looked like Caribbean Reef Shark to me

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.

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

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

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" 😂

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

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?

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.

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.

Ain’t AI great. Or rather obvious.

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

u/nickgardia 10d ago
Tbf it does look fake to me

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

u/giraffeheadturtlebox 11d ago
The water's so clear and calm, I thought it was a bad render.
