Carcharhinus longimanus - Very scary fish. Jacques Cousteau is quoted as saying the oceanic white tip was "the most dangerous of all sharks" This is the beastie responsible for most of the deaths from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis.

A beautiful and misunderstood specimen. We are far more dangerous.

Who loves the photo of the day?

Me!!! Sharks have always fascinated me since I was young. At 31, I still look forward to shark week. Part of my bucket list includes white shark diving (cage only).

Not something I would like to come face to face with.
this one looks large... or is he just close to the camera??

 

[mgdmirage]

Dunno why but the picture looks super fake to me, more like a painting. Either way it looks cool though.

Love to see sharks and watch them. I actually got to pet a baby when I lived in FL. Someone caught it with a fishing pole. It was AWESOME!!!
