Thanks Brightnorm! I have seen some videos and Jean-Michel Cousteau had some footage of free diving with these guys and hitching a ride by grabbing onto their dorsal fins! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

These are some amazing photos!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Wow....I didn't know sharks could do that....Wow again.

 

[McGizmo]

Jon,
To my knowledge, they only do this down in an area off South Africa. Then again, there is still so little known about so much of the behavior in the ocean. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

I knew Don would like them but for me they are the stuff of nightmares. As for hitching a ride on one of these creatures - words fail me, as would my sphincter if I ever even got close.

Ahhh.. Reminds me of the hoax photo a few years back with the jumping great white shark "attacking" a guy climbing up the ladder of a helicopter..

Read about it here.

 

[McGizmo]

What is that gray horizontal "wall"?

I think the grey wall is a break water for a harbor
