Jaws-dropping! World's 'biggest great white shark' snapped off Hawaii

This is our ancestor. You can almost see the face ..

It has a bit of a pot belly. Im impressed, i have never seen a tubby shark before.

That video was incredible, that blonde is a brave woman, she swam up and touched it, imagine if that irritated the old gal and she turned and took a warning bite of "leave me alone".
But she looked all fed up to the point it's just a going expend as little energy as possible gliding through the ocean.
A few scars too, that's an old shark.

Most pregnant females will tend to have a "bit of a potbelly".

Great picture...but are these people insane?... Who in their right mind would be "so cool" right next to such a big shark?...

The shark could sneeze and that diver would die instantly... Not to mention that it could swallow her whole without a problem...

I'm a keen swimmer, snorkler and a diver ... yet even I freak out when a bit of sea weed touches me lol

I've been face-to-face with a 16 foot bull-shark, and couple of times near a large tiger, off the Key's in Florida. Although, they weren't interested in me, my first time I almost needed to change my wet-suit.

I can't even imagine being up close to that girl, because they look a lot bigger close up.

That's a whole lotta nope! That diver should be evaluated because that's pretty much suicidal behaviour. I don't get how some people can completely neglect basic survival instinct!

Wow!

Also note a couple of dolphins casually swimming nearby. It's like everybody understands that the shark is calm and non-agressive.

I missed the pregnant bit and focussed on the feasting on dead whale bit (probably why the divers were so confident).

Im still ringing Animal Welfare though - an intervention looks to be in order.
