Is the photo genuine? It does look like the diver has a shark mesh glove on.

That is also a good argument fr the intelligence of the diver. Of course it may mean that his cojones are only the size of a grapefruit....but then his brain may be proportionally larger than some seem to allege.

And ain't that bull shark a beauty---so homely and ugly and fat that it's almost lovable!

Of course, sharks are not nearly as intelligent as dogs, but they've been so demonized in the pupolar mind that we ---divers-- of all people should do our best to not feed into stereotypes about them.

I agree, they are not mindless killers, they eat what they kill, and we are normally mistaken prey.

more people are killed in the US by guns than sharks, yet no one moves to eradicate that menace

That bull shark makes me think of my mother's Jack Russell Terrier.

FAT

And he's fat because he overeats, because people feed him too much.

If I had to reach out on a limb for an explanation as to how the diver still has all ten fingers, I would have to say that this particular bull shark has probably been hanging around for some time, as is evidenced by his "gravitationally-challenged" body.

You'll never see an animal - especially a shark - in the wild so grossly overweight...

Good point I stupidly forgot about. While the guy obviously isn't a total idiot and ceratinly does have...cojones, he certainly isn't doing that particular shark any favours. Arguably. as in other shark feeding, he *may* be helping shark-kind in general devlop a better image, though.

Thank you for raising this important point, and for thinking on dehalf of the other side of this unusual encounter fo a change (however unwittingly buldog "ugly-cute" he or she may look to us).

P.S. You did make one blunder, though. All that extra body-mass may increase this problem for this particular guy, AFAIK, all sharkind is "buoyancy challenged" because of their relatively rudimentary swim bladders.
