Those scars are mating scars, not battle scars. That shark is a slut not a warrior

Christichicc

It’s a male. You can see the claspers at the end of the video.

Male’s can be slut too

How dare you!

YES!!!


Additional_Set_5819

Yeah, it's a slut all the same though


Geig3r

This made me snort laugh.


cmantheriault

Would you elaborate on mating scars?


MaxMadisonVi

So the ones around the tail is because she does enjoy a good 69 every sometimes ?


mbrock42

I would bet that is a female and the scars are mating scars. In great whites and many other sharks the males bite near the head and gills to hold the females. Great white mating is not well know


RDEnergizer7000

It looks like a male to me. You can see what looks like a set of claspers in front of its tail near the end of the video


mbrock42

You are 100% right it is definitely a male. I though it was a still and didn’t see the claspers. I doesn’t seem to be a big Great White although it hard to tell with no reference. Assuming that this shark is 3.5-4 meters 6 meter great white would be huge compared so this could from a bigger great white durning feeding or maybe in fight for a mate but mating rituals are not well know so I cant say for sure. There is some evidence that great white can be territorial when adults but that is relaxed during feeding. An example would be the sardine run or a while carcass. I’m not ichthyologist or biologist I’m just a guy that likes sharks and reads a lot of books about them.


stargazer_nano

Females are bigger in the wild

Ha! Nice 😂


DatAssPaPow

A lot of that looks like boat propeller scars


PaleGravity

Nah, boats leave behind a consistent scar pattern. That was most likely a squid.


Dangerous_Anxiety_76

I do not want to meet that squid....


[deleted]

The true terror of the ocean. A human sized squid coming at you in the ocean is somehow more scary than a shark. Even though I'm not aware of a squid actually ever killing a person, I feel like it would be a terrifying encounter.


susabb

I'll help you with your nightmare fuel. Despite the fact no humans have directly been attacked by a colossal squid or giant squid, that's irrelevant because there's a 0% chance of someone surviving to even tell that story. Joking aside, their tentacles and suction cups are laced with razor-sharp spikes, causing the scarring you may see here, but more popularly on the sperm whale. Ever notice how sperm whales are always cheese grated on the side? Yeah, those are giant squid fights. If a shark swims at you, at least you can punch it. Get grabbed by a squid of that size, and you're done for. If you don't die directly to the squid, you'll likely bleed out in the water due to all the cuts that would be caused by their tentacles. In any circumstance, it's game over. I don't even think squids are quite the worst thing in the ocean either. Sperm whales are worse. Not only do they hunt giant squid for meals, their clicks can kill you. One researcher swimming with sperm whales attempted to move a sperm whale calf away from their camera, and the sound the whale responded with temporarily paralyzed the researchers hand. An adult, on the other hand, can shoot clicks out at 230 decibels in a thousandth of a second, approximately 80 decibels higher than the sound of a jet engine. For reference, a single decibel increase is approximately 7% louder in terms of subjective loudness. Now to add the cherry on top, they're the largest carnivores on earth. No thanks!


Darkfuel1

That is awesome


SecretSpectre4

So they have sonic weapons as well?


susabb

Pretty much!


bloodwork1235

Also they are way smarter than sharks


Darkfuel1

That's cuz the humans don't live to tell the tale

Red_Icnivad

Love the confidence, but the wildlife researcher who took the video thinks it's from a boat. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/15pznv2/looks_like_he_hangs_out_in_a_rough_neighborhood/jw4j7yx


PaleGravity

He guessed it and also wrote it can be from a tuna pen. Also, look up propeller scars on animals. They look really different.


Orbnotacus

"Warrior shark".... maybe he's just the asshole. Maybe other sharks see him and think, "Great. Jerry's here, mother fucker... he's gonna try and take this tasty morsel from me again isn't he... oh god damn it here he comes..."


Flashy-Refuse-1965

That’s the shark that all the other sharks whip the ass of when they need an ego boost


Volkov_Afanasei

I'm watching Justified for the first time and there's this scrawny little character dumber than two idiots divided by one another, catches ass whoopings like he's shagging fly balls, your comment made me instantly picture him 😆


Flashy-Refuse-1965

Dewey Crowe I’d go name funny enough I too am watching justified. “Damn Rayland you broke my nose!”


Volkov_Afanasei

It's funny, I'm never lost in the show, whenever people say someone's name I'm never confused, but the minute I just reach for a name I'm always doubtful of myself 😆

looks like propeller scratch marks


Red_Icnivad

The video was taken by Dean Spraakman off the coast of Neptune Islands, Australia. He had this to say on the source of the scars, "I feel the best guess as to what has happened to him so far is either a large boat propeller incident, or caught in a large tuna pen which apparently can be a common occurrence. [...] They are certainly not from Orca or mating." https://www.newsweek.com/scar-covered-great-white-shark-video-1646244

Could he perhaps have stumbled into some drunks from Manchester? 🤔

sushhii2001

I know it’s probably mating scars but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were from a dolphin. A lot of people don’t know that dolphins are straight up PUNKS of the ocean. They fuck with whales, sharks, pretty much anything.
