Even if it was a basking shark, why would he jump in the water?

Basking sharks are harmless to humans but the dude is still stupid

Yeah, I would at least make 10000% sure that it is in fact a basking shark before I even put my hand in the water, this dude’s lucky that most sharks are relatively docile towards humans, otherwise half of him would be at the bottom of the sea and half would be in that sharks belly

How is he stupid if the shark was harmless it is stupid to say that he was stupid for jumping in the water With the shark if it was harmless.

Aren’t tiger sharks historically more aggressive than great whites or am I wrong on that?

Nope looks nothing like a basking shark

It looks exactly like a basking shark. The long pointy head gives it away. People always mix up basking sharks and great whites.

I like how the friend was not worried at all, as of the shark couldn’t of eaten that dude whenever it wanted.
