This one was certainly not a young white or tiger shark. I'd even say he looks rather calm. Maybe an old shark.

Can we next film a video called "Octopus vs Narrator"? Pretty please?

Spiny Dogfish Shark...not exactly a ferocious fighter/killer :DL

Ah, thanks for the info Jim. As this video is about a giant Pacific octopus, I admit it's a bit hard to me to determine the scale lenght of the shark - though it's obvious this one is smaller than the beasts I've mentioned above.

Average Spiny Dogfish is 0.9m to 1.2m long.

I reckon this vid is far more interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_EIGI9qFp4&NR

From the end of the video's description text: "We learned something from this and we will take appropriate measures to prevent this from happening again."

Oh. OK. I can has the upper half of my body back now? :doh:

On topic of videos, the thread's original clip led me to this. Not quite as ferocious, but the title and the captions gave me a good laugh.
