The rare great white who only eats lasagne
This seems very risky. How does she know the shark won't attack? This seems like Steve Irwin stupid.
Dolphins like that do indeed go into a food coma of sorts after gorging.
Very cool that the fish is famous. After 50 years, that’s something.
We know very little about famous fish from the sea. There are so few of them.
50 year old shark. Incredible . No telling what it has seen in the ocean , interesting creature . I wonder why it didn't want to eat the people ? How do they know it isn't a threat?
I forget the name of that particular shark but she is one of the largest ever recorded. She had gone missing awhile back and marine biologist thought she may have died. Imagine that thing pulling up next to you while your ocean kayaking. I'm really surprised with all the publicisty she gets that some redneck billionaire Chinese man has not tried to hang it on his trophy wall.

Its name is Deep Blue
she looks like a ditsey blond but knows her stuff, maybe a bit brave for her own good but she has been in the water with some amazing creatures
MasterRooster -Chicks a smoke show.. she can do as she wishes.

kevsh -Hate on her all you want, but raise your hand if you'd swim with any great white, never mind one the size of a small school bus.
I've dived many times and if I saw a great white I would literally shit my wetsuit. Probably have a heart attack too.
What happens when you shit yourself in a wet suit? Does the poo just surround your body within the wetsuit? Like there is a layer of poo between you and the suit?
need one of those zebra dolphins there to fuck shit up.

Shark sugar!
JimbosBigWillie -Isaac298 - that is one huge fucking dolphin. wow, even orcas probably steer clear of that beastAn orca would destroy that thing easily.
And congrats on the lame dolphin joke.
Who would win between an Orca and a Liger?
I think that dolphin would beat both cuz of its skills and magic.
Better a solitary, well-known and well-fed great white than a group of oceanic whitetip sharks, or even a single bull shark. Whitetips group up for a feeding frenzy (shipwrecked sailors), and bull sharks are attracted by all sorts of human activities on or in the water.
Brave? Yes. Stupid? Ehhh. Ocean is well-known in the dive and shark conservation communities (for multiple reasons). She's been doing this for years. She isn't randomly jumping in every time there's a shark sighting. She's picking familiar sharks that have already been observed eating.

“I can’t believe that ‘please don’t grab the 18 foot long wild predator’ is something that needs to be explicitly said out loud, but here we are,” David Shiffman, a marine biologist who studies sharks, told The Washington Post in a Twitter message.
“This is not shark advocacy...it is selfish, self-promotion,” Domeier wrote.
Shiffman had an equally scathing rebuke of Ramsey’s actions.
“There is absolutely no reason for this person to grab and attempt to ride a free-swimming animal,” Shiffman tweeted. “It doesn’t show that sharks aren’t dangerous, it shows that some humans make bad choices.”
In an emailed statement to The Post, Shiffman said that though sharks are not the “bloodthirsty mindless killing machines” some people believe them to be, “they are large wild predators capable of injuring or even killing humans.”
Shiffman drew attention to Ramsey’s large social media following, expressing concern that her numerous followers could be inspired by her experience to try it themselves, which increases the risk that more people could be hurt by sharks.
“And when a shark bites someone, it’s the shark that gets demonized, regardless of what human action triggered the behavior,” he said in the statement.
The day after Ramsey shared the videos to Instagram, Domeier said he was told that 60 people flocked to the sperm whale carcass with the hope of seeing a great white. On Wednesday, the Hawaii Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement cautioned people to “stay out of the water around this carcass,” adding, “it is truly dangerous to be around this carcass with so much shark activity,” the Star-Advertiser reported.
“We don’t want anyone to get hurt if a shark swimming around the carcass mistakes them for food,” the statement said.
Domeier said he hopes people will understand that great white sharks deserve the same level of respect as other predators.
“If you go on a safari in Botswana, you don’t grab onto the mane of lion and let it drag you around,” he said. “You just don’t do that.”
He added: “There’s a balance between the Jaws era when everyone wanted to kill them all and what’s happening now where everyone thinks that they’re warm and cuddly and want to ride them. We need to show them our respect, we need to appreciate them.”
