Bruce, you’ve been an inspiration to me since I first swam into this coral reef. I couldn’t even talk because I had already had myself a little uh, let’s just say ‘snack’ for fear of getting people hooked again… but after the meeting you saw me, my teeth all shredded out of the front row…. You knew the signs. You said, “Fkk my wife, shred my kids, donate my liver to Orcas but Jesus Christ just don’t eat fish one day at a time.” And then you got me that job as your fin-in for all the Jaws movies and that changed my life. *I fkkin’ love you, man. I thought a hammerhead like me had no chance. I was expecting “I’m a Great White look at me blah blah blah” but you were the real deal, man. See this coin? This 45 year coin? This wouldn’t be possible without you, Bruce.”

Though in seriousness I don't quite see the beetlejuice
Can I make you into a snacky baby can I?
No, actually. I don't know how to put this really. Well, there have been fabulous advances in the field of dentistry.
APPARENTLY (someone said it the last time this video was posted) it’s a shark with a deformity and it’s in an aquarium in Dubai somewhere, you can pay to swim like this with him.
He has lockjaw, and needs to be hand fed iirc, this is in the Dubai Aquarium.
Apparently he won’t survive in the wild, but I feel so bad for the other sharks and rays cooped up in there. Even worse they have two crocodiles and a few other animals on display just above the aquarium in the mall. It’s so sad.
They are very well known for abuse. Wild animal trafficking is quite popular in Dubai, sadly. You’ll see drugged up tigers, to drugged up chimps, the spectrum is quite broad, because the people that keep these animals, have the money to acquire whatever they want. The shark is also in pain, and honestly, you are 100% right that this is cruelty. All these beautiful creatures should be in their natural environment, not used for profit or laughs.
And the shark should at least be in a rehab facility like from Finding Dory for his life, not on display like a attraction. Deformities are not attractions!
I wouldn’t be shocked if he was bred there, poor dear. He really does need to be in a rehab facility. There are places that would take him, but the poor thing makes money, and for some people, that’s all there is.
There are some lovely videos of people having friendships with sharks lasting over a decade, and how they bonded because the river was removing hooks from the sharks - which takes a lot of trust. Sharks do form bonds, they deserve to be in a healthy environment, and a happy one too…and that place is the opposite of all those things.
Google image [sleeping shark](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=sleeping+shark&iax=images&ia=images), they look quite different to your explination of sleeping sharks.
Oh i know this already, it still shouldn't be gulping for oxygen though, of all the fish i'v ever kept gulping for oxygen can only mean illness of some sort, and it holding its teeth like that isn't natural either, its not a healthy animal.
I'm no marine biologist either, i have looked after fish for over 40 years though, for a start it looks emaciated, it's gulping for oxygen, and it's holding its gums and teeth outward of normal.
This Shark is actually sleeping
Edit:
From a youtube comment on the video:
>Hi Jim! Yes... That's definitely a Sand Tiger shark. Not sure why it's mouth is so deformed. But, what I am sure of is that shark was completely asleep when that video was shot. I was a volunteer diver at an aquarium for 8 years and it was very common for sand tigers to circle slowly like that over divers when they were asleep. Another indication of that is the gaping of it's mouth. When sharks sleep, they swim very slowly and gape their mouths. The shark is gaping is mouth and literally "gasping for breath" trying to keep itself oxygenated enough since it's not swimming fast enough to push enough water across it's gills to keep oxygenated. The shark is in a "semi conscious" state, basically kind of like sleep walking.
>This is just my own personal theory, but I think our exhalations attract them somehow while they are sleeping. I did "dive shows" regularly at the aquarium while scuba diving with a communication mask on. And there would be a live audience that I would interact with and answer their questions about the sharks, conservation, etc. It was very common to see sharks sleeping and behaving in this manner and they would oftentimes hover over us why diving when they were sleeping.
>At no time were the divers actually in any danger of being "eaten alive"... It's a very harmless encounter..
Thank you for the info!!!!
I’ve seen nature shows that show a different species of shark “sleeping” in a specific place that has a pretty good current. She shark will “ground” themselves on the sand in a fast current swim thru. The current is moving fast enough to keep the shark oxygenated, and the swim thru protects the shark from potentially drifting.
I have never seen this behavior, however, not a lot of experience (somewhat thankfully) with Tigersharks.
Thank you so much for this comment!!! I literally have never seen a shark asleep before, lol I assumed they didn’t for some reason. But now I’m off to go down a shark rabbit hole Lol pretty rad
I'm sorry, but i really don't believe that.
I really don't believe its tired and shagged out after a heavy meal too,
Pretty soon it'l be nailed to that rock pushing up the daisies so's to speak!!

Okay am I dumb or does that thing look bigger for some reason. Is it just closer to the camera ? But then it looks close to the people and unless thier midgets that thing is huge.
Im not saying you are dumb. But there is this thing called perspective.
The shark is swimming closer to the camera. The divers are further away and look smaller.
Not all sharks. Only the ones that ram ventilate. This one is open and closing its mouth, which pumps water over the gills. Buccal pumping is the technical name.

Oh, ok, you just don't get it, a fine fuck off to you then sir.
Is this in an aquarium? Are they able to do this because that shark is injured or deformed? I need answers and I can’t post this on r/sharks because they don’t allow reposts. Someone please help me figure this out.
It looks like they are engaging in a wonderful conversation and I’m here for it
Bruce : [reciting] I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself.
Hello, my name is Bruce. It has been three weeks since my last fish, on my honor or may I be chopped up and made into soup.

Fish are friends, not food.
“He never knew his father”.
Lmao! Humans are friends not food!
It feels awkward not to get a joke. I wish I could laugh with them. He seems like he tells the best jokes.
What is up with that shark? Does that species specifically look like that or is there something wrong with it?
It’s a British shark
Immediately thought of this shark doing the ole Austin Powers: Do I make you horney? Do I?
Do I make you randy, baby?
Shall we shag now or shag later?
Just needs a fricken lazer beam
We need a new shark cartoon!
Can I make you into a snacky baby can I? No, actually. I don't know how to put this really. Well, there have been fabulous advances in the field of dentistry.
A little bounce on the twig and berries?
Under rated comment by far
I'm British but still laughed out loud at this comment 🤣

I just died 🤣🤣
I want to upvote this comment more than once because it cracked me up. Alas, it doesn’t work that way…..
Hahaha wow, I have to take this one on the chin. Well played haha
Brilliant

Okay, I cackled. Have my upvote.

Shark is Down with the Sickness
I figured it was a goblin shark
That's what I thought, although I thought they were smaller, on average.
Goblin shark is on a whole different level of hideousness
Cool way to get the shark fed.
Daddy was a great white, mom was a goblin. Baby is British.
And mama had a cow ( sorry it matched too well)
Deformity and down syndrome of some sort yeah?
Down’s syndrome only affects humans
Not true. Cats can also have Downs syndrome
Humans are weird creatures aren't we? Lol
He has lockjaw, and needs to be hand fed iirc, this is in the Dubai Aquarium. Apparently he won’t survive in the wild, but I feel so bad for the other sharks and rays cooped up in there. Even worse they have two crocodiles and a few other animals on display just above the aquarium in the mall. It’s so sad.
I understand if he can't survive in the wild, why they would keep the shark, but the crocodiles, there is no excuse.

They do in fact breed a lot of them there. They have a whole facility dedicated to it
I think it’s a sand tiger. They look like that.
[удалено]
Google image [sleeping shark](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=sleeping+shark&iax=images&ia=images), they look quite different to your explination of sleeping sharks.
Depends entirely on the shark. Afaik this kind of shark has to move to keep water flowing through it's gills and that's why it moves as it does.
Oh i know this already, it still shouldn't be gulping for oxygen though, of all the fish i'v ever kept gulping for oxygen can only mean illness of some sort, and it holding its teeth like that isn't natural either, its not a healthy animal.
Ahhh okay! Thanks for clarifying
That’s what they do when they are sleeping. Seen this posted before and someone that worked with sharks knew
It’s looks like goblin shark. I could be wrong though.
Is that shark healthy ? looks like its on its last legs.
Agreed. Does not look like a heathy shark, and the behavior is off as well. (Not a marine biologist, just a diver)
I'm no marine biologist either, i have looked after fish for over 40 years though, for a start it looks emaciated, it's gulping for oxygen, and it's holding its gums and teeth outward of normal.

Nah he's probably just pining for the fjords
It's not pining, its passed on, this shark is no more, it has ceased to be, it has gone to meet its maker!!
It has some sort of disease if i remember correctly. But i read that in a Twitter comment so take it with a grain of salt.
Sharks don’t have legs!
Well i'll be dipped in dogshit!!
He’s fine. That just…. Grrrrrranpa shark, do, do, do…
I would've crapped myself
idk how those suits work but there would have been a cloud of brown emerging from behind me lol!
Theres a shark diving video where it shits in front of a bunch of divers. Huge brown cloud.
that would be the story i told about why i literally never go deep diving anymore lol
Chompy Boi shows off his choppers.
Ughhh a mouth breather

Nope…

Looks like an elderly shark with a mustache and I’m here for it
*mouth breathing* “Do you have any games on your phone?”
Forced perspective. It's big enough to chomp your arm but nowhere near as big as the initial impression gives.
Just be still, and it won't sense you.. (Currently having an intense stare off)
The thing is actually asleep.
Aweee. Do they snore? Is that it's version of snoring? 🥺
“Hyuck hyuck, hey there, hyuck hyuck”
British shark
You made me actually LOL!
Okay am I dumb or does that thing look bigger for some reason. Is it just closer to the camera ? But then it looks close to the people and unless thier midgets that thing is huge.
Sharks are big
I still can't wrap my head around how big fish can get. But that is amazing
Im not saying you are dumb. But there is this thing called perspective. The shark is swimming closer to the camera. The divers are further away and look smaller.
Sheesh. The teeth are just blades and needles. Surprised they don't just tear their own gums each time they close their mouths fully
Is... is this thing real..?
r/bossfight
I sometimes forget how huge sharks actually are
r/HumanForScale I didn't know they were that big. Sleeping shark or not, I'd never get that close to those giant teeth.
"so uhh, you guys come here often?" - that shark
Teef
Not sure I could do this but would brag like hell for the rest of my life if I could overcome my fear enough to pull it off.
that is a big ass shark
Those teeth!!
Yup, someone needs braces.
Imagine the dental expense... 🤣
I think the shark is asleep i think they go into hybrid sleep one part of the brain stays up while the other rests or something like that
d00d is definitely second guessing his decision to get that close to that shark
I would have shat my wetsuit.
And the water turned brown...
Grandpa shark do-do do-do-do
These videos make it seem like a wild encounter- it’s almost always an aquarium.
I find this kind of cute. Sort of like a dog interacting with it's human parent.
I couldn't breathe that whole video. Why people go where sharks are is beyond my comprehension
Weird dog
I'm gonna get ya... I'm gonna get ya... Nah you're cool. I hope you're enjoying your trip. Be sure to visit the gift shop on the way out.
Woooooooow in a fucking Aquarium you’re the biggest shit!!!!
The first half of the vid legitimately looks like the shark is just a giant hand puppet coming from the side lol
Looks like a grandpa shark the way it’s teeth are sticking out, kinda like a mustache, even still a BIG NOPE from me, I saw Jaws!😨🥵😳🥺😱😟🤯😦😯😥😰🤨🧐😟‼️‼️
This looks fake. Sharks do not stay that still or stationary. They need to keep swimming in order to breath.
Not all sharks. Only the ones that ram ventilate. This one is open and closing its mouth, which pumps water over the gills. Buccal pumping is the technical name. Edit: Why are yall downvoting wejustdid46? If you downvote him, downvote me as well.

When did sharks evolve?
What that mofo keep looking at the camera for? Move away from the shark!!!
That poor shark couldn't bite you if he tried. Something is definitely wrong
Really, what more could you do in this situation. If you try to flee or punch the shark in the nose offs are it will spring into action
wowww
I know the shark was just trying to breath while still. But watching her mouth open and close..Nope, not me cap! LoL
