Watch: Free diver with “species dysmorphia” hand feeds suspiciously calm Tiger Shark as if he was a mama feeding her man-eating young!

The calm before the end of mankind?

A very few short days ago down in the Bahamas where water the color of sapphire caresses sun-reddened Canadian skin, a free diver hand fed a Tiger shark as big as a small New York apartment. The video, which has since gone viral, represents the glorious dance between man and man-eater. Between what is and what could be.

We can all get along.

And let’s read of the account directly from MSN, half-genderless-parent of the very woke MSNBC.

Although many people would be scared to find themselves in open water surrounded by tiger sharks, this was not the case for free diver Dante Weston, who was captured hand-feeding the sea creatures on January 16 near Grand Bahama Island. Underwater photographer and videographer Szilard Janko was along for the journey with Weston and managed to capture a moment on video that he would not soon forget. The footage shows Weston floating above the ocean floor and reaching into a metal container and removing a piece of fish, as a tiger shark swims toward him. Once the shark gets close enough, Weston uses the piece of fish to guide the animal closer to Janko’s camera, before he lets go of the snack and allows the shark to eat it. “Each shark has a different personality, this one very gently takes the fish out of the hand and then is gently redirected to swim away,” Janko told Storyful. Tiger sharks are “aggressive predators,” according to oceana.org, and one of the “Big Three” in the shark attack world, along with great white and bull sharks, “because they are large species that are capable of inflicting serious injuries to a victim, are commonly found in areas where humans enter the water, and have teeth designed to shear rather than hold,” according to International Shark Attack File.

Beautiful, no?

Except those with memories that extend past seven years will remember the darkly prescient drama Mars Attacks!, starring Jack Nicholson and the best others (SJP, Glenn Close, James Bond, Lisa Marie Presley, Michael J. Fox, Martin Short, ‘Nette Benning etc.). That film, which has aged like a Nostradamus text, predicted that peace-niks, collaborationists, hippies will actually spark the end of the world.

Again, prescient and I can’t help but think this mirrors, exactly, the above clip.

Much to think about.

Much to ponder.

More as the story develops.

What do u mean ‘suspiciously calm’ ? Not all sharks act like Bruce in Jaws. U should watch Shark Week/ Discovery Channel . U might learn something.

The sharks in the Bahamas are regularly fed & do not attack divers. In fact, the tiger sharks & bull sharks are gentle & visit specific dive sites on a regular basis to receive feedings of fish from divers experienced feeding them. In any case, sharks aren’t routinely hunters of people. Even Tiger & Bull sharks.
I hate these articles that do nothing except drive the fear of sharks. Why does anyone print them??? So despicable!!!

How about the fact that sharks are wild apex predators that have evolved over millions of years. The last thing sharks need are idiot tourists feeding them, all for a “cool story” to impress other idiot tourists. Isn’t it enough to observe sharks from a distance with the reverence and respect they deserve? Just a crazy thought.

In Brasilian they are Tubarao.

While we’re at it, let’s get a statement from the Tiger Shark:
“I’m pretty health conscious ya know. I try to eat clean food. So here, I’m thinking “cage-free, free-range, non GMO, organic”, plus what the video doesn’t show is these kind people fed me for like a fucking hour straight, non stop before filming. And, well shit, I was feeling ready for a nap so one last snack before pulling a few bong rips, then watch my favorite youtube channel, this shit cracks me up…birds cussing…so damn funny.. https://youtu.be/NE7Q2et5aI0

Wait…what was I talking about, fuck I’m so stuffed in can’t fucking think straight”

Hahahar – I feel like I’ve been eating shark fin soup every day for about a year.
It’s like wholegrain cereal – you know it’s good for you but jeez, every day !!??!!!??

Otto

Whenever you get bored of shark fin soup, trying adding some blood sausage. Fucking feeding frenzy fo’ realz.

If it wasn’t for sharks we’d still be getting fed an Ear Meal by Chas Smith.

Easily the best creative piece Chas Smith has ever done.
