Naturally, any information on sharks must immediately be shared with Getbig.
Maybe others were aware of this info, but it was news to me. Great white sharks will die if you try to keep them in captivity. They literally begin weakening the moment you catch them.

It's ironic I just watched this before you posted it. Interesting video worth a watch.

No it isn't. Its a popular and trending video so there is a good chance you would have seen it by now. What is ironic about that?

I was thinking that one of these engineering muthafuckas could probably make something like a motion activated wave pool, so a shark could swim while being stationary. Obviously, I iz a scientist.

Or perhaps, you know, they could just stop trying to display Great Whites altogether.

They're not in captivity. They're all about 150 yards off shore in front my house scaring the shit out of surfers and anyone else who wants to get in the water

This is the proper attitude of any GetBigger to being caged in, whether it is caged in to normal life or physique or caged in to the Weider principles.

As hard to keep a Great White caged is as it is to keep a Getabigger on topic.

This seems a simple and cheap solution.

here in FL, a very big shark washed up on the shore. The swimmers worked together to roll him back into the water.

Imagine the irony if the shark ate one of them an hour later. Maddening.

THey're beautiful creatures, sure, I remember them at the Shark Cafe at Sea World, neat-O. But pushing them back into the water where you're swimming? huh?

Technically, it's not that hard to keep them caged. It's just hard to keep them alive.

Now, octopuses...

Mediocre Caucasian shark

Everyone knows that Black Sharks were the original Great Whites. Right, Wiggums?

we will not have large animals in captivity in 50 years. It is not good for them.

In 50 years you'll be able to just go out virtually into the ocean and look at them and it will be indistinguishable from real life.

You will also be able to "put on" a suit of Phill Heath muscles and virtually work out with him as if you were inside his skin.

Maybe less than 20 yrs.

The popular/trending part doesn't make it unironic; coincidence does. The trending just makes it probable.

Honestly, the entire time I was watching this video I was thinking thatt it was possibly the only thing that could make the events in "Blackfish" seem less terrible. To go through all that trouble to have a fish in captivity for 3 days to 6 months before it dies is absurd.

Certain members would probably like to see themselves inside a blue whale.

it's a shame it would be really cool to see one of the big ones 6m+ in captivity feeding them live prey like seals etc.

Racist post reported. Not a word about Great Black sharks.
