When you get too close, they just turn and run... well, swim
They really are kind of lazy and lay around a lot... these are not all the same shark, they're just easier to get close to while lounging.
And now for something completely different...
This is a Wobegong (sp?) Shark... really weird looking but kind of cool...
We went to a shark feeding that has to be seen in video to really get the idea, but here is a couple of pics from the event.
Yes, he's about 5 feet away... and looking for food; there was a trash can full of fish heads, lowered down to attract the sharks... then when released, the frenzy began. There were over 50 sharks and tons of large fish vying for the the food floating out of the can. All of this, plus 15-20 of us sitting around it, in a space the side of a basketball court... AWESOME!!
I'll show the video when I get home... it's INCREDIBLE!!
