Alright, it's an appeal in the first case. Can someone who has better IT skills and savvy than I, possibly dig out this footage of a Great White Shark swimming off the Cornish coast and post it please? I caught it on ITV and at face value would like to take a few more looks, as although it seemed to exhibit a lot of GWS characteristics I'm not completely convinced. I'm sure it must be hanging about somewhere (the footage not the shark) but wouldn't know how to post it myself

Not sure re better IT skills. You can find it on the Sun Web site with video footage (can only assume the same as was on ITV as did not see yesterdays news).

Not sure - just had a look at the two clips - what's it chasing in the first clip? Sorry I'm crap with things like that! - second clip's definitely a bit like a GWS although only quite a small one - brilliant if it is one though. I think they're prettyt awsome animals :luv:
no one close enough to tell really and only time any glimpse is when it jumps up at the end and you can see a white/grey belly,
This is also found on a bull shark, a much smaller ceature with similar instincts.
Wouldnt take that as definietly a GWS but certainly makes me sure to say i wont be swimming in cornish waters anymore lol

Won't be a Bull shark in British waters Chris. They can't even live in the Med. And just for the tragic amongst you, the Bull shark is the only one that can swim and survive in freshwater, they've been found thousands of miles up the Amazon before now, and are also known locally as the Zambezi, Ganges, and Mekong amonst others. Bull sharks account for more human fatalities than any other spiece
The GWS has been confirmed as far north as the West coast of Brittany before now I seem to think. I'm pretty certain they've made it to La Rochelle before now too. They are the only shark that routinely 'breaches' as part of it's attack repetoire (often spectacularly). Other 'man eaters' such as the Bull and Tiger will feed on the surface often raising their heads out of the water to prosecute a kill, but GWS is the only one that will fling it's entire body out of the water.
Fear not though....... all you need to do is blow bubbles at it Or at least that's what we were not to do if we didn't want to scare them away :brows: . I do won 5% of one somewhere in South Africa called 'Finrag', She used to send me a birthday card and the occasional letter informing of what she's been up to, and how many surfers she'd eaten etc but I haven't heard from her for a few years now and am growing concerned that some trophy hunter might have got her if she's strayed into Mozambiquian waters
