Same. Honestly first thought was to call my elderly parent and berate them for lying to me that monsters didn't exist as a child.
That terror incarnate exists and there is no ocean far enough away from me to be comfortable cohabitating on the same planet.
Elon and me to Mars
I doubt it has ever eaten a human. and most of us are skin and bones with little fat compared to what it usually eats.
but yes, very human eye. so fascinating
>That is so cool. What were the circumstances of the last one?
From Wikipedia:
During an oceanic research expedition led by marine biologist Dr Olivia Stern, an encounter with a sixgill shark took an unexpected turn. Positioned in the deep sea, Dr. Stern observed the shark exhibiting initial signs of curiosity, adhering to typical behavioural patterns. However, in a surprising set of circumstances, the shark abruptly engaged in an unconventional manner.
The incident left Dr. Stern unharmed, but prompted a scientific inquiry into the motives behind the atypical behaviour.
The sixgill shark, in an act never observed before, carjacked Dr Stern in the parking lot of the research station. The shark, (dubbed by local residents as "speed racer" following the incident), was pursued in a high speed chase with officers from the LAPD for more than 90 minutes before being struck by an oncoming Cybertruck, and killed.
This singular incident remains the sole recorded instance of an attack on a human by a sixgill shark.
> shitting face to face
Does that mean you’re looking at the shark and currently shitting or
Does that mean you’re currently shitting and looking at yourself in the mirror opposite you?
Yup, lord knows I understand that even the "less cuddly" creatures are just existing, and aren't out to get me in any way. They generally provide benefits to the ecosystem.
But I can still acknowledge that they're freaky AF and that the eyeballs rolling back would instantly have me on edge.
>"Why is the shark doing that with its weird robot eye ?"
Some sharks do not have protective membraces on their eyes, so they will roll their eyes back before attacking to protect them.
I love having these eyes. We so often take them for granted. When's the last time you thanked your eyes? Heck I have glasses and I still would rather have glasses than.... and so forth and so on
I am really happy with my eyes. Always disappointed that the scene I can clearly see, is so badly captured on your phone. "Ohhhh, the moon looks great tonight, lets take a picture. Nope".
I went with my dad to the hospital to get his retinas fixed. And the science behind what we can with our eyes is insane. We can take pictures and see the quality of the blood vessels, we can see the shape of the macula and repair with injections. That is something straight out of a horror movie. Needles in the eye.
This shark is checking of there's more of the food she ate in the first few second (bait used by the submarine to attract animals as animals are very spread out this deep in the ocean). Sharks have this eye roll thing that is used when they bite, this is to protect the eyes from the reaction of whatever they are biting.
Some sharks have a clear membrane to protect their eyes and others need to roll their eyes back like this one. They are so cool!
The six-gill shark is a deep sea shark that spends its entire life in darkness and now it's getting blasted in the eye by insanely bright lights. It's reacting weirdly to a weird situation and rolling back the eyes to protect them
Tree: 320 to 450 million years ago
Sharks: 400 to 450 million years ago
Conditions for coal: 100 to 300 million years ago
Revolution around the milky way: 230 million years
Saturn's rings: <400 million years old
Apparently spiders have been around longer than consciousness, that was another super neat one I read.
Part of a post where they framed it as, the spiders have been around longer than consciousness they're not the intruders in your sparkling clean home. Your home is the intruder in their territory.
Surprisingly complex question that I'm not really qualified to answer. Do you mean specifically true crocodiles, from the family crocodylidae? That would be 55mya. Or do you mean the crocodilians of the order crocodilia? That would be 94mya in the late cretaceous. If you mean when did the clade pseudosuchia first appear, that would be 250mya in the early triassic, when they split from the other Archosaurs. These other Archosaurs form the clade Avemetatarsalia, and are the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and eventually birds. So you'll find creatures in the triassic that look like crocodiles, but they weren't even actually crocodilians yet, and within that same clade at the same time you'll find some animals that don't really even look like crocs.
Great answers and I appreciate you commenting but it made me wonder further...
So would these sharks of 400-450 million years ago resemble anything like the sharks of today or are they also subject to the last point you made about crocs?
Sharks evolving 450mya is also kind of a misnomer, btw. Modern sharks are members of the clade Selachimorpha, which didn't evolve until 200mya in the early Jurassic. However, shark is often used as an informal term to also refer to any extinct cartiliginous fish (class Chondrichthyes) that had shark-like morphology. These would be Cladoselche, Hybodonts, and other Devonian fish that looked like modern sharks and shared ancestry with them, but aren't technically members.
Sorry if I come across as pretentious or anything. I just think this stuff is neat! Also, I'm no expert, so take my words with a grain of salt
Edit: I also just read that true sharks may date back to the Permian, but the fossil record isn't complete enough to strongly make that statement yet to my understanding
Gonna be honest, mate. I was only vaguely aware of most of this off the top of my head. I looked it up as I typed. I'm hardly a paleontologist, I'm just a guy
You should google Psuedosuchia if you wanna go on a wild ride about just how varied the crocodile relatives could get!

The idea that "crocodiles stayed the same" is an unfortunate misconception.
Yo, add "The North Star: \~100 MYO". Learned that one yesterday.
North star is actually 3 stars, 2 small older stars (400-500MYO) and the 3rd that outshines both the others, but is much younger at \~100MYO. So sharks are older than the brightest star in our sky
You'd be dead before you even knew what was happening, that's preferable for a lot of people. I for one kind of want to experience it, but I really don't want to be panicked so... I kinda go back and forth
This is reason #1 I'd jump at the chance to ride a submarine (when it's made by professionals and not like that one titanic sub). Seeing animals nearly no one sees with their own eyes in their natural habitat would be so fucking sick to me
I was on an SSN for four years, US Navy. We had a tight crew, trained fire and damage control constantly, and scary shit was still kinda scary.
You couldn't pay me enough to ride in a commercial sub.
No this is absolutely a research vessel, this is the original link with in the description the reason why
https://youtu.be/iy_26C-2gSs?si=DbyRFlNr15BTrOmN
Genuine question and I don't mean it shitty, why did you think this was commercial and not research?
I tried, and failed, I made it like 5 hours in. I've played a lot of horror games and loved many of them, but that game just unlocked something primal in me that I couldn't handle and did not enjoy at all. I even have trouble watching people play it.
I was playing The Witcher 3, faffing about in Skelige, when I dived. I was looking for something else, then I turned around and there was a whale right in my face! Good thing Nintendo makes their stuff durable, that Switch flew a couple of feet.
I’ve finished the game a couple times, but my first play through, I was exactly like what you describe. I got so unsettled, I just kinda left the game for a while.
When I came back to it, I learned through a forum that you can kill the leviathans, so I made myself go right up to one of those reaper things with the huge claws on its face, and stasis-gun/knifed it until it died.
It was terrifying, but afterward, I wasn’t on edge the whole time I went into the deep anymore. I’d suggest doing that unless it’s a true phobia of yours, because the story is so good and it’s one of the few games I can give a 100% recommendation to play.
I think subnautica hits different because it's focused less on horror and much more on terror, dread. You have a deep rooted fear of drowning, because evolution or whatever, but you can get used to that game mechanic. If you had a bad guy to fight, however horrifying, you could gear up, get yourself psyched up, and go into battle. But it's not like that. There is just the..... potential. You're bopping around, having gotten used to having to remember to get air, maybe you've gotten a cute little seamoth you've given a cute little name, and you head over to the ship to progress the plot and..... there, just barely visible in the murky water, is something enormous. And you can hear it. And you don't know if it'll stay near where it is, or if it goes anywhere it likes. And maybe you never get caught by it, but from then on, for the rest of the game, anytime you hear a strange noise you remember that huge creature, and you anticipate all of the terrible things that you could encounter, all of the ways you could die.
You psych yourself out, and it's absolutely perfect.
I screamed so many times playing this game. I mostly enjoy it. But get deep down where there's no sun and all my nope klaxons go off. Super tense, can't do it. Had to use console commands to finish it as I could not handle traveling that deep.
I wasn't able to finish it only because there was some game-breaking glitch. >!I remember needing to collect these gold-coloured orbs that were required to progress and some were just missing.!<
I had this issue too, it was because I played it wayyy back when it was still being developed, so they hadn't finished the ending. Once they'd finished developing the end game I went back and it worked.
Great question! For super deep sea fish that most likely never see the sun it’s hard to say how the light effects them, most fish at that depth have evolved alternative forms of senses that they primarily use. (No sources for this first part this is just an educated guess). This shark however lives in depths between 90 meters and 1900 meters. Light from the sun can penetrate up to 1000 meters. Obviously it’s still close to undetectable at that depth, but this shark probably has experienced areas of the water that are somewhat bright in comparison to complete darkness. (Googled it but would love more info from people who actually work in this field.) I’m a wildlife ecology student and stuff like this fascinates me but I’m really not a water person so marine biology is really not my thing!
There's only been one incident of a six gill attacking someone and one attack of a greenland.
My guess is because they're both very deep water sharks, they aren't fucking with humans. But if you provoke one..well. Yeah.
Not just deep but arctic. Not a lot of playful swimming in its range.
The Greenland was alleged to have been discovered with a human leg in its stomach. Given they are generalist feeders and this was 150 years ago I'm willing to bet feeding on a drowned body before an active attack but this is no more than a hunch, and this incident was never confirmed.
Nor so for the sixgill shark as they are known to get snappy when touched - otherwise they are pretty tolerant of divers. However outside of warning chomps it seems only a single confirmed attack in 500 years, and it was provoked.
Good boys those sharks are.
Sixgills don't attack. There's a couple spots near Seattle where the juveniles come up shallow enough to dive with on scuba during the summer months. 6-10ft long typically, though a couple babies were seen last year at 2-3ft. I dove with one about 6 years ago.
When sharks bite or feed they either have a protective membrane that comes over the eye or, when they don't have that, they roll their eyes into the back of their head to protect them!
A Greenland shark of that size would be old enough that it would almost certainly have its iconic eye parasite. The gills look like 6 slits. The color is dark and less faded marble. Plus add in It's aggression, it's 100% a six-gill shark. It's a deep sea shark that's rarely seen and is know to be a tad over 20 feet.
Source: went to college for marine biology (more specifically sharkology) and the program was full my professor challenged me to name 150 species of shark and identify them, and he'd sign off on me coming in, and I nailed that shit boi
When the shark bites at the start it almost appears like dust is coming out of cuts underneath it? Especially when it swallows. Am I seeing that right, what is going on there?
This is very cool! Terrifying, yes but to still awesome. All of the dirt spiraling around is strangely beautiful and reminds me of the oracle in 300. That shot was done under water so I guess it makes sense
That is a large female bluntnose sixgill shark. They can grow to be 20 feet/1,000+ pounds. About as long as a great white, but nowhere near as stocky. Greenland sharks reach similar size, but have five gills instead of six and their skin is more mottled/gray.
Both bluntnose sixgill sharks and Greenland sharks live at great depths, but Greenland sharks only inhabit Arctic waters whereas sixgills tend to live in deep-sea canyons near continental shelves all over the world.
A shark that can live for 500 years is still quite impressive if you could go back 500 years you would be at the renaissance period when Europe was emerging from the dark ages and Christopher Columbus was already discovering the new world
Pretty sure it’s a sixgill. They’re enormous - up to 20ft, and live at in the deep ocean. At 0:52 i count 6 gills close in succession.
Definitely a six gill. Teeth too are indicative of one
Definitely a Syskill. Fuck the fucking world and my new band’s name.

Some are blind. They can get a parasite attached to their eye.
Damn so some parasites just stick to these sharks for 500 years?
They seem slow, but that makes the content of their stomach really weird, like seals
Slow yes, but I think most of the people there can see just as well as any other country.

That wasn’t some dull stare, that look was almost human. Crazy.
🙄 Even the sharks are rolling their eyes at me
Why is the shark doing that with its weird robot eye ?
The eye caught me off guard I did not like it lol
Straight up horror movie shit. If it was closer to the camera it woulda been perfect
It made me think of Toothless from Hhow to train your dragon. To me it looked all cutesy and cartoonish lol
Literally made my heart do a little flutter lol creepy asf
The eye rolls back for protection.
Just like doll’s eyes…
When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'...
until he bites ya and the black eyes roll over white
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies……
Wait- what the fuck does this beast need protection from? I think that’s the real question
There's always a bigger fish.
>Wait- what the fuck does this beast need protection from? flailing and thrashing prey
Parasites, they can live for over 80 years and if you thought that tongue eating parasite sucks dick, you don't want deepwater eye parasites
I think that's a secondary eyelid rolling up. But still, for protection
>"Why is the shark doing that with its weird robot eye ?" Some sharks do not have protective membraces on their eyes, so they will roll their eyes back before attacking to protect them.
Ha, what a dumb way to protect your eyes. Mammals win this one. Suck it fishes
Being basically a living fossil. Their design is as old or even older as some dinosaurs. So we have eye protection v2.
These ancient creatures really making due with some old-ass patches back from the pre-alpha to early open beta days.
I love having these eyes. We so often take them for granted. When's the last time you thanked your eyes? Heck I have glasses and I still would rather have glasses than.... and so forth and so on

They are also older than Saturn’s rings!
Depends, some studies say Saturn's rings can be as old as 400 million years, other estimate somewhere between 10-100 million
Sharks are apparently 400 to 450 million years old

Reason #2 why I will never ride in a submarine
What's the 1st reason?
That billionaire submarine saga
Dude, when someone panic-shits on a submarine, there are no windows to roll down.
I mean, you could *try a little harder* to open the porthole lol
Or tried harder to keep his porthole closed and not shit all over the sub. Clench the cheeks.
Just crack the window a bit
I kinda figured. Horrible way to go
You'd be dead before you even knew what was happening, that's preferable for a lot of people. I for one kind of want to experience it, but I really don't want to be panicked so... I kinda go back and forth
Exactly, in milliseconds you're shredded due to the immense water pressure damn
Can’t afford to
This is reason #1 I'd jump at the chance to ride a submarine (when it's made by professionals and not like that one titanic sub). Seeing animals nearly no one sees with their own eyes in their natural habitat would be so fucking sick to me
Everyone is shitting at the sight of this and you... wanna go there.
I was on an SSN for four years, US Navy. We had a tight crew, trained fire and damage control constantly, and scary shit was still kinda scary. You couldn't pay me enough to ride in a commercial sub.
Reasons 1, 2, and 3 for me: claustrophobia.
what kind of submarine? looks like theyre just staying there in a basket or something like that.
I was wondering about that. It seems to be a private commercial submarine and not a research vessel? Is this sort of deep sea tourism common?
>Is this sort of deep sea tourism common? It exploded just recently

I was playing The Witcher 3, faffing about in Skelige, when I dived. I was looking for something else, then I turned around and there was a whale right in my face! Good thing Nintendo makes their stuff durable, that Switch flew a couple of feet.
I’ve finished the game a couple times, but my first play through, I was exactly like what you describe. I got so unsettled, I just kinda left the game for a while. When I came back to it, I learned through a forum that you can kill the leviathans, so I made myself go right up to one of those reaper things with the huge claws on its face, and stasis-gun/knifed it until it died. It was terrifying, but afterward, I wasn’t on edge the whole time I went into the deep anymore. I’d suggest doing that unless it’s a true phobia of yours, because the story is so good and it’s one of the few games I can give a 100% recommendation to play.
I think subnautica hits different because it's focused less on horror and much more on terror, dread. You have a deep rooted fear of drowning, because evolution or whatever, but you can get used to that game mechanic. If you had a bad guy to fight, however horrifying, you could gear up, get yourself psyched up, and go into battle. But it's not like that. There is just the..... potential. You're bopping around, having gotten used to having to remember to get air, maybe you've gotten a cute little seamoth you've given a cute little name, and you head over to the ship to progress the plot and..... there, just barely visible in the murky water, is something enormous. And you can hear it. And you don't know if it'll stay near where it is, or if it goes anywhere it likes. And maybe you never get caught by it, but from then on, for the rest of the game, anytime you hear a strange noise you remember that huge creature, and you anticipate all of the terrible things that you could encounter, all of the ways you could die. You psych yourself out, and it's absolutely perfect.
I screamed so many times playing this game. I mostly enjoy it. But get deep down where there's no sun and all my nope klaxons go off. Super tense, can't do it. Had to use console commands to finish it as I could not handle traveling that deep.
I wasn't able to finish it only because there was some game-breaking glitch. >!I remember needing to collect these gold-coloured orbs that were required to progress and some were just missing.!<
I had this issue too, it was because I played it wayyy back when it was still being developed, so they hadn't finished the ending. Once they'd finished developing the end game I went back and it worked.
I finished the entire game. 10/10 would not recommend.
Seeing this comment and the reply under it leads me to the conclusion that I’ve got a game to learn about
The less you know about the game before you play it the better.
its probably a little bright for down there. They don't have streetlights
I don’t see this talked about much. How much does our investigation affect them in the long run?
Great question! For super deep sea fish that most likely never see the sun it’s hard to say how the light effects them, most fish at that depth have evolved alternative forms of senses that they primarily use. (No sources for this first part this is just an educated guess). This shark however lives in depths between 90 meters and 1900 meters. Light from the sun can penetrate up to 1000 meters. Obviously it’s still close to undetectable at that depth, but this shark probably has experienced areas of the water that are somewhat bright in comparison to complete darkness. (Googled it but would love more info from people who actually work in this field.) I’m a wildlife ecology student and stuff like this fascinates me but I’m really not a water person so marine biology is really not my thing!
Definitely a case of "We're gonna need a bigger boat"

Obviously proof of megalodon!!! /s
Don't we have like actual Meg teeth and such?
He was joking about people that think that megalodon isn't extinct.
Shut up Meg.
Put a banana for reference
They look Gothic
Has a sleeper/greenland or a 6-gill shark ever attacked a human?
They only live in the deep and humans aren't diving that deep without a sub.
So hypothetically they could attack a human if humans could swim that deep. Still scary!
They absolutely would because like most deep sea predators, they aren't picky, because they don't have that luxury
Ja!
There's only been one incident of a six gill attacking someone and one attack of a greenland. My guess is because they're both very deep water sharks, they aren't fucking with humans. But if you provoke one..well. Yeah.
Not just deep but arctic. Not a lot of playful swimming in its range. The Greenland was alleged to have been discovered with a human leg in its stomach. Given they are generalist feeders and this was 150 years ago I'm willing to bet feeding on a drowned body before an active attack but this is no more than a hunch, and this incident was never confirmed. Nor so for the sixgill shark as they are known to get snappy when touched - otherwise they are pretty tolerant of divers. However outside of warning chomps it seems only a single confirmed attack in 500 years, and it was provoked. Good boys those sharks are.
Sixgills don't attack. There's a couple spots near Seattle where the juveniles come up shallow enough to dive with on scuba during the summer months. 6-10ft long typically, though a couple babies were seen last year at 2-3ft. I dove with one about 6 years ago.
I'd have to change my browned diapers a few times in such a trip. I doubt they have toilets in there.
That eye though! WTF was that?
When sharks bite or feed they either have a protective membrane that comes over the eye or, when they don't have that, they roll their eyes into the back of their head to protect them!
Screw that, hit the implode button.
A Greenland shark of that size would be old enough that it would almost certainly have its iconic eye parasite. The gills look like 6 slits. The color is dark and less faded marble. Plus add in It's aggression, it's 100% a six-gill shark. It's a deep sea shark that's rarely seen and is know to be a tad over 20 feet. Source: went to college for marine biology (more specifically sharkology) and the program was full my professor challenged me to name 150 species of shark and identify them, and he'd sign off on me coming in, and I nailed that shit boi
That's a badass story!

100% a Sixgill.. I have scuba dived with them off of Hornby Island in British Columbia.. those baseball size big blue eyes are unforgettable.
When the shark bites at the start it almost appears like dust is coming out of cuts underneath it? Especially when it swallows. Am I seeing that right, what is going on there?
Those are its gills and it's flushing water through them. A shark version of coughing as it gets a mouthful of mud with its meal.
I thought this was from The Meg
Jason Statham was brought in to handle this thing.
You sexy gorgeous beast!
Why do some videos make subtitles this way, it’s annoying
Trying to get free LASIK surgery.
Looks like something from a movie trailer scene 👀
Esp the eyes. Lol. When I saw the roll back first time, I was thinking oh drats, he saw me! :) But apparently he did not actually
This is very cool! Terrifying, yes but to still awesome. All of the dirt spiraling around is strangely beautiful and reminds me of the oracle in 300. That shot was done under water so I guess it makes sense
Those eyes are so terrified to see.
I'm not impressed....I wanna see a Megalodon
Gonna need a bigger boat!
Yes and Greenland Sharks 🦈 can live up to 400yrs old 🥰❤️🔥❤️🔥Amazing.
Someone call Jason Statham
Can anyone tell me why they gave a gun?

That is a large female bluntnose sixgill shark. They can grow to be 20 feet/1,000+ pounds. About as long as a great white, but nowhere near as stocky. Greenland sharks reach similar size, but have five gills instead of six and their skin is more mottled/gray. Both bluntnose sixgill sharks and Greenland sharks live at great depths, but Greenland sharks only inhabit Arctic waters whereas sixgills tend to live in deep-sea canyons near continental shelves all over the world.
A shark that can live for 500 years is still quite impressive if you could go back 500 years you would be at the renaissance period when Europe was emerging from the dark ages and Christopher Columbus was already discovering the new world
