Wow, those are monsters. I thought he was talking about nurse sharks or some little tigers. Not great whites. How much does that cost? I want to punch one of those buggers in the nose.
ReplyDeleteWoah! Seeing those sharks swimming with Grandpa makes my heart skip a beat even watching it on the video. He may not have been shook;however, I was concerned. I was only quiet because I did not want to alarm Genna. She was so darling that entire day and happy to meet and greet each and every new sea creature...even the sharks.
ReplyDeleteLove, Grandma
The sharks are local to Australia, Grey Nurse Sharks. The big one was about 12' long and over 600 lbs. He took one look at me and swam away in fear :-)
