On Sunday, a Croatian fisherman succeeded in filming a gigantic shark near the coast. The marine animal deliberately circled around the boat at the Kvarner Bay. “Gigantic sharks are up to ten meters long and weigh up to four tons, but only feed on plankton and are completely harmless to people,” said sea biologist Pero Ugarković.
He posted the video in the Facebook group “Živi svijet Jadranskog Mora” (“Living World in the Adriatic Sea”). It can be seen how the marine resident approaches the fishing boat and circles it. After a short journey of discovery, the big fish withdraws. “Despite its enormous size, this shark is far from the unfortunately fearful hunter of the sea,” Marine biologist Ugarković told the “small newspaper”.
The recording was successful from the Croatian fisherman “Cali Mero” from Rijeka from his boat. He posted the photo on Facebook on Sunday evening and received some comments. “A beautiful beast” and “I would die from fear if I saw it in my area,” says there.
Where the marine animals can be found
The gigantic shark is the largest fish in the world after Walhai. He swims with open mouth and lets the water flow through the gills. As a result, it is the situation to filter around 1800 tons of water per hour after food. Life expectancy is estimated at more than 50 years.
Here you can see the video of the gigantic shark.
The hairy prefer cold to moderately warm water, the marine animals are spotted in the Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. This observation was not the first of a gigantic shark off the coast of the upper Adriatic Sea. In December 2024, an eight -meter -long gigantic shark was filmed on the Istrian peninsula.
