Swimming With Sharks

(YouTube Link)

Just a little late for Shark Week, but this amazing footage of a great white was taken by Chuck Patterson in Southern California. He was alone with his stand-up surfboard when one slapped him with its tail. This second one circled for twelve minutes before finding something else to do. Patterson says "it was an insane experience which i hope to enjoy again soon."

Sharks aren't as dangerous as everyone seems to think. They're not going to try to eat every human they see.

The video camera may have saved him, here. Sharks are highly sensitive to electronic impulses, so the one circling him might have just not wanted to get too close to the small buzzing box.

"How it disappears so easily even though it's still pretty darn close."

So do you suspect magic?

I'm guessing it's called MURKY WATER.

I really like sharks, but that's just scary. How it disappears so easily even though it's still pretty darn close.
