That dude that jumped in and saved his wife was wronged. That shark was at least 17 feet, you rescued the queen and mic dropped it! Dude is a badass of legend!
Actually true - the reports said at least 4 1/2m Great White - also it was Shelly beach near Cronulla sth Sydney - not the WA Shelly beach shown in the vid
Absolutely creep me out. Those attacks where they feel the shark go by and grab someone else. That thought in your head when you realize something massive just swam by you has to be scary
I think after some attacks , culling some sharks , makes alot of sense, say about 45 of each kind, makes a big difference . If you kill about 45 of each kind for every human, they'll remember that next time
In a healthy relationship either partner would do anything to defend the other, Hi-5 to the man who jumped on the shark, that's what love will make you do
When me and my brother were little ..he had his bedroom decorated with ocean things and my mom put some shark teeth... Like the entire mouth of teeth...pretty good size on the shelf for decoration . Well of course we kids.were always picking it up touching it etc..UNTILL..ONE DAY..Yep it attacked..my little brother was screaming bloody murder and sure enough he had a huge gash on his hand..it needed like 6 stitches.. Lol...But of course he loved going to school telling everyone he was attacked and bitten by a shark! In ST LOUIS MISSOURI LOL
I believe most predators choose their victim before launching attack. Big cats and wolves both are known to pick their prey based on the prey’s health, Size and least danger to themselves.
I was at the bait store. Yesterday, someone said that their was about an 11 ft bullshark off avalon nj in close chasing something in the surf. Great video. Hal, a lot of hero's in today show
Mike Healy was incredibly lucky , he must have had excellent medical care as well as being young , healthy , and having a good bit of luck. There's one attack that I saw photos of where the woman was missing a chunk of her back,buttocks , and leg. All from a quick bite , shake, and release from a Bull Shark. She also survived. It's crazy how soft we are compared to those teeth and the bite strength of sharks. We may as well be made of soft ice cream.
Just a coincidence but I was prepared to get between my wife and a shark, heading towards her. I was prepared, ready to commit my life to save hers. Then realised I couldn't tell them apart. 😉 Hal, our seasons in the southern hemishpere are exactly opposite to yours in the northern hemisphere. Autumn (Fall) began 2 weeks ago (21st March) and your Spring started the same date (I think).
Is that supposed to be funny? Because it's not, you sound like a jerk, that's putting it nicely.Kinda like your wife saying you two were out in the country and a bunch of donkeys were out and she couldn't tell you apart from them.
@nomojo1110, these are the wise words of my father, "I've never got into an argument with a guitar!". Trust me, with that SG you're time will be spent well. Take care man. L/R
@@ghostwriter1415 Wise words indeed. Named it Dave, so there'd be no akwardness between us. Just two blokes making a racket. I'll get a full-fat heritage cherry model someday. Then I'll show Derek Trucks how to play with feeling. HAHA yeah that was bullshit. I'm on another level... and it's considerably lower :/ Have a great weekend and Happy Easter! Cheers 🤘
I love this channel because it is pure facts. Some people say sharks are evil, others say they never attack people on purpose. The facts show that sometimes it is mistaken identity, and sometimes it is opportunistic predation. This is a great look into better understanding sharks. It is their ocean after all.
Rarely mistaken identity. They may not know what we are.yet..but they NEVER mistake us for a seal...sharks have extraordinary senses and they use them...and last time I checked we don't smell like seals
350 million years of evolution yet they can’t tell the difference between a human or a seal? It’s ridiculous. Anyone who thinks they mistake us for seals should watch a video of how fast seals move.
It's a great channel but every now and then Hal has an old man yelling at clouds moment lol. Sprinkle of climate change denial, a while ago he complained about wokeism in the shark attack study community it was hilariously silly. I'm not hating, dude is just like my dad lol much love
This is what people should be telling folks is that a shark can actually take you out into the deep water and you've never seen again... Because it happens
Was hoping you'd post another excellent video! As always Hal, you knock all the other channels right out of the park! Blessings to everyone 🙏❣️ stay safe..
Hey Hal, still loving your show. Just an fyi for you, Mackay is pronounced as Mack-eye. The Great Barrier Reef runs along the coast line there so they could easily have been near an island or part of the reef. New South Wales is on the eastern side of Australia, your map went to Western Australia when talking about Shelly Beach. Not sure which one it would be, but there is quite a few beaches here with that name in different states.
There is a Shelly beach or two in quite a few states in Australia and you are correct that the map is not quite right. The map shows Shell beach, which is part of Shark Bay in WA about 800km North of Perth. This attack happened in NSW in Port Macquarie, a few hours North of Sydney.
You know that you're having a crappy day when you get bit by a dead , decapitated, shark head. I'd be too embarrassed to even tell anyone. I'd just have to fix it myself with Super Glue and Neosporin. 😅😂😅
I'd hate to tell my war story of surviving a shark attack, when inevitably, somebody asks what kind of shark it is, and I'd have to say that it was a blue shark.
I love how you say "this is going to be a great show" because it is, it's one of the best and you do a really great job at this; but it is something i find funny to hear right before I hear something like "and a great white bit him in half"
Another great episode. I enjoy the shorts as well they really fill in waiting for another episode. I appreciate the time and effort you put into each episode.
Hey Hal, my brother lives in Nova Scotia & we've both been following the sharks on the Ocearch Tracker app. In the past few years, the GWs have been hanging out in NS waters longer & longer before heading back South. Last year, a few of them were still actively pinging in NS waters up until early December. A group of marine biologists out of Dalhousie University (NS) have also been studying GWs, specifically focussed on their behaviours in NS waters. I attended an amazing session they did in Lunenburg, NS, where they showed a film of their research adventures and info sharing they do with the Ocearch group. Turns out they discovered that the GWs breed in Southern US waters, then head North to NS to pup. Fascinating stuff 🌊🦈💙 Love listening to your channel❣️
Yeno I'd say great whites enter Irish and British waters especially in the warmer months, today a 14ft sand tiger shark washed up on a beach in Ireland, we had no idea they are here, biologists or Fishermen had no idea, last year a great white was pinging 700miles from Irish waters which is a stroll in the park for them considering how far they travel, loving the channel man keep up the good work 👏
Really love this channel and have been a shark fan for years, I bought all the shark attack books when I was a younger. Just wondered if you could include more relevant pictures and videos of the people involved and the locations?
Hi, Hal! Many thanks for another great vid. Good advice, Hal, about staying away from the biting end of a shark. When I was a kid, way back in the early sixties, a neighborhood boy & his brothers were at the beach for a day of frolic. They found a 'dead' shark on the beach. Well, being boys, they began poking the shark with a stick, and suddenly the shark raised up and bent itself nearly in half & chomped down on the ankle of the youngest boy (it was a fairly small sand shark). But, it did considerable damage to the little boy's small ankle. He ended up having 2 surgeries to repair his Achilles Tendon. Yes, dead sharks DO bite!
Glad to hear my Brutha from anutha Mutha survived, I went searching for photos of Michael Healy's scars, but was unsuccessful. But read that he had over 50 surgeries. Amazing he survived, thanks again Hal !!!
Wow!! That sounds awful for that kid with his side taken out. I’m shocked he survived. Lucky kid! Hal you must be a Michigander. Jeeze oh Pete’s and Willy Nilly give it away.
@@SharksHappen me too. That’s why I know those two phrases and people have said to me it must be a Michigan thing because nobody knows those phrases. Ha ha!
Aye 100% I'm telling my wife I'ma jump on a GW for her, but I mean honestly, it's like a divorce, but it's free and then everyone feels bad for you. Okay I'm just kidding damn lol
Hi @sharkhappens thx for the show. I just have discovered your channel. It's great. I'd just like to share some informations I read about the first guy that lost his leg at Reunion Island. I was living there at the time. The guy was just bodysurfing, swimming waves. He ended up with a cut so high that any tourniquet was possible. So people made a compression point on his iliac artery saving his life during the time medical team came up (~8min) Keep up the good job !
I grew up in the gulf coast of Mississippi and my family would go camp on the barrier islands and one night I decided I wanted something to eat from the boat, it was a several meter walk through about hip high water (on a 10-12 yr old girl) and few feet of a swim in deeper water to the boat. As I shuffled out, I always slightly dragged my feet because I was aware of rays and horseshoe crabs I saw about 5ft in front of me to my right a dorsal fin and about 6 feet behind that the tip of a tail fin…. I stopped and watched it pass from right to left in front of me. I slowly and very very quietly shuffled myself back to shore. Decided getting a snack wasn’t worth being a snack. I was really into sharks in my youth and I remember being certain it was a hammerhead shark, I’m assuming it must have been the dorsal that made me think that. Of course with the blissful ignorance of youth I was back swimming the next day. 😂☠️
I used to live at Virginia Beach, VA and at Myrtle Beach SC, and Corpus Christy TX. all are ocean cities . Back in 1975 we body surfed as did so many people and no one got attacked by sharks. It wasn't even a thought in our minds. But now it's different and we don't get into the ocean anymore. We were living in Wilmington NC in 2014, 1015 and 2016 and went to the beaches in that area and people were being attacked way too much. ! Black tip and Bull sharks mostly. It's crazy now. More people and sharks in the water. Sharks coming very close to the beach where people are in the water.
Hi Hal, seems like sharks kinda like wolves single out the weakest animal in the group? Wonder if anyone ever checked out the medical history of shark victims attacked in a group? Be interesting to see if that’s the case. Keep on keeping on! Chris
it's weird how they definitely do target specific individuals. My theory? They go for women first for fat content. Not that there aren't plenty of fat men out there (*ducks shoes being thrown at monitor). It's just percentage wise, women have more fat. Boobs. O_O This might not show on the stats because again - there are probably fewer women in the ocean. Just look at the surfing community. Sausage fest. Numbers are rising, but historically, women didn't normally go into the ocean so that will skew the results. when they go for kids, it's tragic. But with those I figure those are generally the juveniles in the shallow water, and they just want something they can easily carry off. Perhaps even just practicing their skills. Although it honestly can't be a great meal for them. other theories - those damn spear fishermen! in those cases I like to think that it's just the shark saying, "Hey! That was the one I was going for. Very well. I'll just bite you then." last one (for now) - anyone who's... discharging bodily fluids. And I learned all of this (or at least the basis for some of my theories) from the one and only Hal. :) I feel smarter. :D
@@cautionTosser have you seen "the malibu artist" channel? It literally shows drone footage of white sharks swimming amongst surfers and bathers, yet they completely ignore the people in the water......it gave me a new perspective on these magnificent animals! You should check it out if you haven't already.
Lions will step over sleeping people to get to their victims. You wake up the next day with lion tracks all around you and your mate is gone with just a drag mark as evidence of where he was taken.
Shellie Beach is on the NSW East Coast. You showed Shell Beach in WA on your location. That is the opposite side of the Country. Great show as usual. Thanks
When I lived in Huntington Beach, CA, on occasion I would surf with a guy who always had a knife strapped to his right calf. Not for angry locals lol... but for the "Men in the Gray Suits"
Boucan Canot?!? Where the Fuck is That! This video is the best one I have seen of yours so far- the theory that we are too bony for sharks to prefer chomping on us is one I had never considered! Thanks, man. Opened my eyes a bit.
Just imagine if later down the road the wife from the second story cheats on the husband who saved her from a huge shark. That would be crazy. That lady better worship this man for life if she didn't before. Damn. Even being a husband that's badass to jump on a big ass shark's back when it's in attack mode. Yikes. Respect.
This true story is kinda of topic. So me and friends were in Massachusetts for the Patriots game. Went to all you can eat whole cooked lobster place. So I go get my plate and load it up sit down start cracking. I get to my second claw and I started to crack a knuckle joint and the claw clamped down on my finger. I screamed real quick and flung the lobster across the table cuz it scared the crap outa me. Everyone paused for a sec then was dying laughing it was absolutely hilarious😂
WooHooooo! Finally Norfolk Island gets a mention !!! About time - we have the biggest Tiger Sharks in the world - they hang around all year around because we throw our dead cows in the water as well as do shark feedings every day when the fishermen clean their catches. Some of the Tigers like Matilda is about 18' or almost 6m long - she comes around Rocky point and Headstone and if you stand your ground when spearfishing you can give her chin a rub and so long as she gets a fish when you finish up... shes a giant puppy fish.... i'll have to go-pro some footage for Hal - if he tells the What were You Thinking shark attack here on Norfolk back in 1797... first recorded shark attack in Australian waters
@@SharksHappen oh hells no bloke!! First rule of out Tiger sharks is meet them underwater at eye level... anything floating they have a nip at... happened twice fishing off a jetski. But will try Matilda next clear sunny morning with small swells.... i'll wear my brown colored shorts
6.5 to 9.5 ft GWS you said 3 to 4 meters. I'm not good with meters but I think that's closer to 2 to 3 meters. Good video regardless, thanks again. Edit: Reunion island again, sheesh. I'd be interested to see how many total attacks at each individual spot have happened there, second beach, New Smyrna, and other hot spots. Might be cool to have a video on each individual hotspot covering each attack so far that you've covered and then seeing all of the locations marked on a map or something. Thanks again Hal for all the hard work you put into these videos!
Yea I'd love to know how many sharks have attacked and eaten a human did it more then once!! Cause if they did eat a person they obviously must have somewhat enjoyed it!!
There are actually all types of maps that show an x at each shark attack aroung Globe . With skull and crossbones if fatal. Someone else mencioned that hal does enough for what he's trying to do. Use Google do research on your cell or internet and you can find almost anything
Dude, we all use "willy nilly" from time to time. I'm supposed to go to the animal shelter to adopt a cat. I think I will get two of them now, and name them Willy & Nilly! LOL! Good show. L/R
Funny, I told my boyfriend if I'm being attacked by any predators, and we have nothing to defend ourselves, I'd like him to prioritize himself because while I value my life and don't want to die, I also would not want him to die. I especially wouldn't like him to die a painful death. I want him to pass away as an old man who has lived a full life and such. It's better one person survive than neither
Hi Hal, here in South Africa around Capetown area and Gansbaai we have a Great white shark that's at least 7m long. They named it the submarine. You have any information on it?
I feel that the shark going through the kids legs to then attack the other kid was like the shark saying: " What are you kids doing here? Check this... Get the fuck out of here! I'm not the only one around."
God bless the guy that jumped on a Great White and saved his wife. You legend. You magnificent bastard.
Lol
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
😂😂😂😂

Epic. Epic behavior.
Buddy riding a shark throwing elbows. Epic husband
I listen to other channels that cover shark attacks, but by far Hal is the best! You have a gift for storytelling!
yes, he does. I always click when I see a new video from Hal.
Love this show!! 💗
Yes he scares me to death 🤣
Now that is a good man, jumping on a shark to save her. The world needs more men like him. #brave
The world needs more women worth saving
Bullshit! Woman save a man?. Insurance cash.
Men are not like that They. Always put themselves first. Doreen Jones 3:51 3:52 4:00 i 4:04 4:10 4:11 4:17 4:17 4:18 4:19 4:19 4:20 4:59
Some yes, there are some good guys . I know a lot of jerks, though. that would not
We do but now we're afraid to help women
Bet the shark was surprised when the guy jumped on his back.
That dude that jumped in and saved his wife was wronged. That shark was at least 17 feet, you rescued the queen and mic dropped it! Dude is a badass of legend!
Actually true - the reports said at least 4 1/2m Great White - also it was Shelly beach near Cronulla sth Sydney - not the WA Shelly beach shown in the vid
Lol
Wow!! Husband's have been killed doing that, too, so it wasn't a done deal it wouldn't attack him!
And she still complains that he doesn't do enough...

Hopefully I can be that lucky some day.
Doesn't sound like he was lucky..
This channel and Shark Bytes are the best shark themed channels out there 🦈
I am just like an immature child laughing every time Hal says someone “beat off” a shark
Aahhh yes, Danielson. Wax on, wax off.
Lmao, I thought I was the only one who thought that 😮
Makes my inner 12 year old giggle every time.

You can be out in the water with 100 sharks and not one will bother you…but it’s that one that you don’t see is the one that will attack you ….
Mike Healy was incredibly lucky , he must have had excellent medical care as well as being young , healthy , and having a good bit of luck.
There's one attack that I saw photos of where the woman was missing a chunk of her back,buttocks , and leg. All from a quick bite , shake, and release from a Bull Shark. She also survived.

Well...close. We are mostly water.
Melt in your mouth not in your fins
It's all relative . A Big shark eating off a human is kind of equal to human eating a small fish or animal about 6 inches long .
Just a coincidence but I was prepared to get between my wife and a shark, heading towards her. I was prepared, ready to commit my life to save hers. Then realised I couldn't tell them apart. 😉

OMG that poor guy was lucky to have survived that bad attack! 😢
Another great video Hal... Thx buddy... Keep em coming!
There are hundreds of whales right now off Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Maybe drawing GW's to the waters in these temperatures
Its the seal populationswhos numbers have exploded after.decades on the protection list
Hal has completely spoiled me for other shark channels. None as good as Hal💗💖
Hal don’t stop selling those super cool shark shirts! They are unique and my family loves them!
Me too. Love his commentary and also when he diverts to other stuff. From the UK so we tend to get basking sharks...

I was really into sharks in my youth and I remember being certain it was a hammerhead shark, I’m assuming it must have been the dorsal that made me think that. Of course with the blissful ignorance of youth I was back swimming the next day. 😂☠️
Another great show Hal. We love ya!
Thank you 💛 Hal for another great show!!!
I used to live at Virginia Beach, VA and at Myrtle Beach SC, and Corpus Christy TX. all are ocean cities .
Back in 1975 we body surfed as did so many people and no one got attacked by sharks. It wasn't even a thought in our minds. But now it's different and we don't get into the ocean anymore. We were living in Wilmington NC in 2014, 1015 and 2016 and went to the beaches in that area and people were being attacked way too much. ! Black tip and Bull sharks mostly. It's crazy now. More people and sharks in the water. Sharks coming very close to the beach where people are in the water.
It's autumn here in Australia and the waters are cool to cold .
I literally love your content! ❤🦈

Hi Hal, seems like sharks kinda like wolves single out the weakest animal in the group? Wonder if anyone ever checked out the medical history of shark victims attacked in a group? Be interesting to see if that’s the case. Keep on keeping on!
Chris
it's weird how they definitely do target specific individuals. My theory? They go for women first for fat content. Not that there aren't plenty of fat men out there (*ducks shoes being thrown at monitor). It's just percentage wise, women have more fat. Boobs. O_O This might not show on the stats because again - there are probably fewer women in the ocean. Just look at the surfing community. Sausage fest. Numbers are rising, but historically, women didn't normally go into the ocean so that will skew the results.
when they go for kids, it's tragic. But with those I figure those are generally the juveniles in the shallow water, and they just want something they can easily carry off. Perhaps even just practicing their skills. Although it honestly can't be a great meal for them.
other theories - those damn spear fishermen! in those cases I like to think that it's just the shark saying, "Hey! That was the one I was going for. Very well. I'll just bite you then."
last one (for now) - anyone who's... discharging bodily fluids.
And I learned all of this (or at least the basis for some of my theories) from the one and only Hal. :)
I feel smarter. :D
@@cautionTosser have you seen "the malibu artist" channel?
It literally shows drone footage of white sharks swimming amongst surfers and bathers, yet they completely ignore the people in the water......it gave me a new perspective on these magnificent animals! You should check it out if you haven't already.
Or it could be the choice of cologne the victims wore... Who knows.
Lions will step over sleeping people to get to their victims. You wake up the next day with lion tracks all around you and your mate is gone with just a drag mark as evidence of where he was taken.
Only the ISAF would know. If medical background info is shared it would probably be with them
Interesting fact- Laurent Charnard went on to become a medal winning ParaOlympic swimmer.
Shellie Beach is on the NSW East Coast.
You showed Shell Beach in WA on your location. That is the opposite side of the Country. Great show as usual. Thanks
Another great show Hal. Inyoni Rocks here in South Africa was at one time the beach with thevmost attacks recorded on the Natal coast.
When I lived in Huntington Beach, CA, on occasion I would surf with a guy who always had a knife strapped to his right calf.
Not for angry locals lol... but for the "Men in the Gray Suits"
Boucan Canot?!? Where the Fuck is That! This video is the best one I have seen of yours so far- the theory that we are too bony for sharks to prefer chomping on us is one I had never considered! Thanks, man. Opened my eyes a bit.
Watch Mistaken Id. Back around Dec of 21. Explains the different bites from sharks a little more complete
Thank you so much for your channel..
Intrigued with shark stories...thanks Hal...
Thanks again Hal, great imput, great show!
Summer is coming up ppl. Remember if you go into that water….you are more afraid of those sharks…than they are of you.
Girl you better hang on to him. That boy literally whooped a shark's ass for you. 😆
Lol
APEX PREDATORS dont have to explain why they do what they do. They JUST DO. LOL
Great white shark:
This ain’t no Willy Nilly!!
I love this show!!
And remember You love this show, more than it loves you
@@GodLovesYou1624 lol
Thank you, Hal, from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hal, your ABSOLUTE #1 fan here man but you’re killin me with the blurry vids my Brother!! Overall amazing as usual but please fix the blur!! ❤❤❤
Where were the blurs bc I didn't see any?
I will have to use my glasses. Been going without but obviously my eyesight is not great
Just imagine if later down the road the wife from the second story cheats on the husband who saved her from a huge shark. That would be crazy. That lady better worship this man for life if she didn't before. Damn. Even being a husband that's badass to jump on a big ass shark's back when it's in attack mode. Yikes. Respect.
How does your mind work, seriously?! Weird! 🤷♀️
I did a toolmakers apprenticeship 07, making jigs for CNC's mostly.
One offs, it was alright.
I was always prototype, short run work.
Another great one Hal.
First, thank you for the excellent content!
Id get attacked if this guy would show up and do some live commentating lol😂
Lmao!
I been watching your channel since you started it and I never get notified of you uploading a new video.
This true story is kinda of topic. So me and friends were in Massachusetts for the Patriots game. Went to all you can eat whole cooked lobster place. So I go get my plate and load it up sit down start cracking. I get to my second claw and I started to crack a knuckle joint and the claw clamped down on my finger. I screamed real quick and flung the lobster across the table cuz it scared the crap outa me. Everyone paused for a sec then was dying laughing it was absolutely hilarious😂
Ew exploding whales I didn't know that happened!🤣 Awesome show thanks Hal 🦈💙🦈
Imagine jumping on a shark’s back for a dead bedroom 😮
Another excellent show very interesting and professional narration. Look forward to each one.
WooHooooo! Finally Norfolk Island gets a mention !!! About time - we have the biggest Tiger Sharks in the world - they hang around all year around because we throw our dead cows in the water as well as do shark feedings every day when the fishermen clean their catches. Some of the Tigers like Matilda is about 18' or almost 6m long - she comes around Rocky point and Headstone and if you stand your ground when spearfishing you can give her chin a rub and so long as she gets a fish when you finish up... shes a giant puppy fish.... i'll have to go-pro some footage for Hal - if he tells the What were You Thinking shark attack here on Norfolk back in 1797... first recorded shark attack in Australian waters
Would love some footage of them from above water with no bait to stir them up
@@SharksHappen oh hells no bloke!! First rule of out Tiger sharks is meet them underwater at eye level... anything floating they have a nip at... happened twice fishing off a jetski. But will try Matilda next clear sunny morning with small swells.... i'll wear my brown colored shorts
6.5 to 9.5 ft GWS you said 3 to 4 meters. I'm not good with meters but I think that's closer to 2 to 3 meters. Good video regardless, thanks again.
Edit: Reunion island again, sheesh. I'd be interested to see how many total attacks at each individual spot have happened there, second beach, New Smyrna, and other hot spots. Might be cool to have a video on each individual hotspot covering each attack so far that you've covered and then seeing all of the locations marked on a map or something. Thanks again Hal for all the hard work you put into these videos!
You are correct. 6.5 feet is 198cms. 9.5 feet is 285cms.
Yea I'd love to know how many sharks have attacked and eaten a human did it more then once!! Cause if they did eat a person they obviously must have somewhat enjoyed it!!
Yes, should have been 2-3
That's an awful lot of work you're asking for! Look up the locations yourself. Hal gives you all the information you need. 😊
There are actually all types of maps that show an x at each shark attack aroung Globe . With skull and crossbones if fatal. Someone else mencioned that hal does enough for what he's trying to do. Use Google do research on your cell or internet and you can find almost anything
Dude, we all use "willy nilly" from time to time. I'm supposed to go to the animal shelter to adopt a cat. I think I will get two of them now, and name them Willy & Nilly! LOL! Good show. L/R
Already told wife if she’s in a shark attack she’s on her own
Funny, I told my boyfriend if I'm being attacked by any predators, and we have nothing to defend ourselves, I'd like him to prioritize himself because while I value my life and don't want to die, I also would not want him to die. I especially wouldn't like him to die a painful death. I want him to pass away as an old man who has lived a full life and such. It's better one person survive than neither
@Adam Hazza That might be true but I want my boyfriend to live long and happy.
🤣🤣🤣
😂 good man
@@kittye8340your boyfriend is a very lucky man, with a comment like that!! Absolutely amazing!!
Hi Hal, here in South Africa around Capetown area and Gansbaai we have a Great white shark that's at least 7m long. They named it the submarine. You have any information on it?
Just have seen it in clips posted. I have not researched it tho. Might take a look
I feel that the shark going through the kids legs to then attack the other kid was like the shark saying: " What are you kids doing here? Check this... Get the fuck out of here! I'm not the only one around."
