Yay for slo-mo shark footage. I’m fairly sure that this is from the Blue Planet series. But I saw it (on YouTube) with Japanese language narration and thought I’d pull and share it, because the language relates it enough to justify it. Ha ha. I’d been watching loads of “Shark Gordon” episodes via Joost towards the end of November, and I thought that was cool. Every year in the States I looked forward to Shark Week, when the Discovery Channel aired a string of shows about sharks. They alternately describe them as maneaters and harmless creatures, which makes me laugh. The indisputable thing for me is that they are frightening in some primal way - all that power in such a deadly looking thing. Screw whether it accidentally bites people or not. It’s like the fear of heights - it’s all about potential, not about reality. This is some gorgeous footage of great white sharks hunting off the Cape of Good Hope. Enjoy. Random, huh?
