@sebastian_outdoors: How would you react if this huge shark was swimming right at you ? 🦈 This was such an awesome day out on the water with a total of around 5 or 6 sharks in the area and a couple were curious enough to come right at me 🦈 This was the second shark that came straight towards me 🦈 Luckily it’s a basking shark so I knew I didn’t have to worry… I was sat watching this huge shark in the distance feeding and it slowly got closer and closer until it came within inches of me! This shark was around 18 foot long!! It stuck around for a couple of minutes, making a couple of passes by until it went off to the left of me and I paddled further off to the right 🌊 I’ve kayaked with basking sharks in the past but usually they don’t come over so close! I have more footage from the last shark that came right at the kayak where you can see it fully out feeding which will be posted shortly! (For clarification it's an offence to intentionally disturb wildlife in Scotland and this video was filmed at a safe respectful distance as I observed the shark feeding I was sat still for a prolonged period of time approximately 150m away before the shark came over towards the kayak. It then continued to feed off to the left of me and I left the immediate area once it passed me. I then continued to observe the animal feed whilst I was sat over 100m away. My hand is in the water as I was filming with a GoPro as it went past. I was not trying to touch the animal and I would never condone anyone to touch a wild animal) #shark #fyp #ocean #travel #animal
