Title: Mako
Post by: Shark Hunter on January 18, 2014, 07:02:14 AM
I sent my brother this pic of a Mako attacking a camera. He said it is going to give him Nightmares! ;D
It is my screensaver now!  ;)

Wow.  Now I'll have nightmares too. 

Nice dental floss in the roof of his mouth.

Between the debris in his mouth and the ripped upper lip, PETA will have a field day.  They'll make billions on a comic book showing defenseless man eaters being snatch hooked by salivating rednecks!

Makos are the ultimate fish. Say what you will about white sharks, marlin whatever. Nothing else even comes close.

The "floss" actually looks like the tail of a parasite. Most pelagic sharks are covered with them.

Correct, dogtagger, those are parasites in his mouth.
