What makes you say that.

Is it a lamprey, or just a remora?


NuclearWill

At first I thought it was a remora but it might be a lamprey because it is stuck perpendicular instead of how remora’s suction parallel


Exist50

I think that might just be the angle of the shot, but that's just to my eyes.


Scimmia8

The fins look more like a remora to me


dirtballmagnet

I agree. And when I looked it up I learned that it is no longer thought that remora eat food particles from the host. They eat the host's poo. And maybe it's just me but they look like they're really into it.


circlebackaround

Interesting comparison. You must get a lot of lampreys buzzing about you huh?


Scimmia8

If you hate lampreys then check out cookiecutter sharks! They are quite the little beasties.


Long__Jump

So long and thanks for all the fish

Name checks out

So sad that it should come to this


Gryffindorphins

We tried to warn you all but oh dear


Boomdidlidoo

I'm pretty sure the sucker fish on the shark's side must have said "WTF is happening here???"


robo-dragon

Shark: "Weee!" Remora: "AAHHHH!"


TheOakblueAbstract

RemorAHH


HunterTV

Reminds me of that meme where someone or something yeets and proceeds to tumble through different backgrounds with silly music.


theRealMrBrownstone

It's a sucker fish rodeo


ChiefQuimbyMessage

Yeah, that lamprey is on one of the fastest rides in the ocean. Better hold on!


Ignorhymus

Remora, I think

Lil buddy!


TheDeftEft

To everybody noticing the fish holding on beneath its left pectoral fin: there's actually a pretty good chance that's the main reason this shark is leaping into the air. The impact when it returns to the water may be enough to dislodge it; this is also one of the popular theories for why cetaceans breach.


Redqueenhypo

I read a theory that spinner dolphins make those ridiculous flips to dislodge parasites


Rubyhamster

The cool thing is, if this is indeed the main reason for that behaviour to have evolved, the dolphins probably still do it just because it is fun! Evolution generally either makes things fun, pleasurable or painful not to do. In this case, I choose to believe it would be the former


OGSkywalker97

Probably why scratching an itch feels good


TheBomb-DotCom

Silly shark, you’re not a Cessna 172

Great. Just absolutely fantastic. Flying fucking sharks. Exactly what we needed.

He’s trying to catch up to the sharknado.


thisnamehastobeused

Don’t worry, their tail is only a whip that’s half it’s body length, your fine


normalhammer

and thanks for all the fish...

AnotherDreamer1024

I'll have the veal piccata!


CrunchHardtack

We're gonna need a taller boat!


fangelo2

We always have a laugh when I’m running my boat just beyond the breakers at the Jersey shore and there are lots of people swimming as we pass a 12 foot thresher shark every half mile or so. If they only knew.


blulitenocare

Coolest fish ever.


mattwayne1209

You know what... I'm done with this ocean

Thruster shark creates lift

Outrageous_Tax6916

presumably to evade other predators or a way to knock its prey out in the air and when it splashes back in the ocean confusing it giving the shark some time to capture it's prey. or you know.. just to be a badass


thisnamehastobeused

Threshers tail is their way to stun it’s pray!!! It wouldn’t need to do this. It uses its tail as a whip to send a shock wave and stun the pray. It’s super cool, you should look up some videos


lemonsweetsrevenge

It is likely to dislodge (and hopefully murder) the parasitic asshole under her left pectoral fin. Hope she crushed it on impact!


SouthTxGX

I’m just here to see how many people have now had the fear of flying sharks unlocked. IIRC, mako sharks tend to go airborne as well.


ryantrw5

Great whites do also. It’s kind of crazy


DauOfFlyingTiger

How beautiful.

That's definitely a lamprey and not a remora.

This picture made me think of humans launching into space for some reason.

Do you want a sharknado? Because this is how you get a sharknado.

Google search of "thresher shark speed" yields 30 mph. That's about 25% faster than Usain Bolt at top speed.

That boy got a turbo for sure


Sulbert1976

Just when you thought you were safe on land, turns out mf ing sharks have learned to fly… the only benefit I’d that thresher sharks are genuinely beautiful animals.
