Approximately a 14 foot Basking shark in portrush harbour, was in the harbour for around 4 hours. Want to read the report on the shark from utv live? www.u.tv/News/I...
for those who don't know, this is a Basking Shark, a harmless filter feeder, similar to the Whale Shark in diet and behavior. You could've hopped in and swam beside it albeit the freezing water.
I've never heard of a basking shark coming right up to a seawall like that. Imagine being treated to such a unique experience and your first instinct is to throw rocks at it.
@@kg-hk5zu not likely. Sharks bite maybe 100 humans a year while we slaughter over 100 million of them each year. By far they have more to fear from us than we do them and where she was standing, it would have been very unlikely that even a predatory shark would have gotten her
Not much knowledgeable about marine life but ain't there a slightest possibility of Shark just jumping out for a second and dragging one of his victims in. Was scared to see those kids standing so close to the shore.
@@anthonygibson5561 That's a basking shark, they don't have teeth, they feed on krill and plankton, they aren't harmful to humans, they're like whale sharks but smaller.
It’s a small/young basking shark. Plankton eater. No threat at all but, clearly, no-one in this video has ever seen one before - which I find odd, as they are regular visitors off the north coast of Northern Ireland, especially in late summer. Several of us in our late teens in the 1970s were fishing from a 15ft boat not 100yds from that very location (outside the harbour) and a fully grown basking shark cruised right beside us. It was easily much bigger than our boat and freaked out one of my friends so much he almost capsized is!!! It’s mouth was wide open as it passed us, feeding, which was very impressive but not at all scary to those of us who knew what it was.
I would want to swim with it lol. However, I can see where your friend was coming from,. It's gotta be intimidating as hell to see something that big cruise next to your boat. Definitely lets you know humans don't own the waters.
basking sharks have attacked b4 tho ! not in the typical sense, but here in nz if you stand on or spook one in shellow water you could get hurt ! people here have been hurt by them ! ! but for the most part they are just a lazy slow moving peaceful giant !
@@ColemanJRimer No you don't want to swim with one lmao. Trust me, just because you know in your head that it only eats plankton doesn't mean you don't still shit your wetsuit on sight of one. I've been in the water with a basking shark twice, one was dead and the other didn't want to come near me. The dead one almost gave me a heart attack though, I was snorkelling round some rockpools at high tide and I swim through a gap into a larger pool and when I look down I see this 8 foot shark just lying on the bottom, literally scared the shit out of me, flew out the water like I'd been shot from a cannon
It's good that kids have a sense of danger and a sense to protect themselves. You shouldn't discourage that. If I were a kid I would have done the same.
@@manormanman7092 protect themselves? Ur a fkn douchebag and an idiot if you think throwing rocks at a shark that is barely any harm to humans okay...smh what a moron
@@MakeBigMoney21 oh what if there was another animal that actually attacks people? are the kids supposed to stand there like idiots? As animals, we also have to relied on instinct. It's common sense to detect another animal as dangerous. it shows that the kids' instinct to protect themselves and detect danger is good, this also transfers over to the real world with pedos. It's a good sign that the kid is mentally stable.
@@manormanman7092 First of all wtf is a kid doing or getting close to a wild animal to begin with? That would be parent irresponsibility so your comment makes no point whatsoever,and no there aren't animals who "attack people" it's called instinct there is a reason they are called wild animals they eat to survive unlike us who think,there is a reason we don't use that kind of instinct. Boom bitch
For those of you who don't know this is a green tree shark you will usually find them at the tops of trees eating leafy greens and small birds completely harmless to cats but incredibly dangerous to humans wearing shoes.

Mark Carroll The screaming is about the kids being super excited that they are seeing a huge and fascinating creature. When you were 7-9 years old you'd probably be doing the same thing man. That being said, yea they are annoying as fuck and I wish their parents would be controlling them better. Screaming is annoying as hell and harmless... but whichever kid threw the rock should be fucking slapped by their parents.
That looks like an old village with an old harbor. Imagine people in medieval times seeing this come into the harbor like that. Just a harmless basking shark but if you had no knowledge of marine biology and lived in a time when common people's thought magic and monsters could be real it'd be terrifying for such a beastly to be spotted so close to home.
mrteddystamp You're trying too hard to insult me. Of course i'm not one of those parents since my comment was "i would never let my kids get that close." Are you even reading these comments or just blindly throwing out dumb insults?
Dougald Mactaggart LOL I'm just saying I wouldn't let them get that close. You wanna go swimming with those things, that's cool. But losing your faith in humanity over a RUclips comment is a little weird. But to each their own.
why would you let irrational fear dictate your decisions. Not even your decisions here but you would be dictating what your children do which would also be teaching them to think of the situation in the same way. Why think like that?
looks like a baby basking shark, so unless your plankton its harmless, and for the parents of those kids that are throwing rocks, teach them some respect for life. or why should you be shown any....
Ah a keyboard warrior, its more that I comment on the lack of respect towards another living creature, than the possibility of harm to it. but thanks for high-lighting your lack of understanding and sympathy. And if someone threw little stones at you, it might not hurt you, but it would piss you off no?
***** It's what kids do, but that's why kids are little fuckers at times. Kids need to be taught respect. In certain situations, you're right; kids do what kids do. But kids shouldn't be throwing shit at animals. In this video, it's not a big deal.. It was some dirt and what not, and the shark was clearly not harmed. It's more the principle than anything. Don't try to inflict harm on other living beings, unless you need to eat or you're defending yourself. That's just me, though. I probably wouldn't have scolded the kid for it. Maybe mentioned something later when he wasn't in front of his friends.

For everyone getting mad. It was only one of the kids who threw something, and it was dirt, not rocks. Also, how were the parents supposed to stop him. They probably yelled at him after.
The moment you see a guy on a paddle board with a 5 metre shark in the water you know it's a basking shark. If it was something else then neither the guy would have been paddling coolly nor would the little girl stand so close to thr waters edge.. Beautiful.creature. Devilish humans
1. It's a Basking Shark so it'd be more scared of them than they are of it. 2. I agree, they shouldn't have thrown stones at the poor thing. 3. It looked pretty lost
Reading the comments, I'm glad to hear it's a peaceful shark. But the first thought I had is it looked like a dolphin with its nose. Never heard of a basking shark
Samantha Melton True. But if it were a meat eating shark then I’d be like “I knew humans were stupid but I didn’t think they would let their kids be right next to the dam thing we’re it can jump out anytime
I wish people would teach children to be quiet and respect animals... Same things at zoos... All the screaming, shouting and throwing things at it. Animals deserve respect! We share this world with them.
The best shark video in youtube is the one that the dude think its a basking shark and jumps on it only to realize that it is in fact just a huge great white shark
they are such beautiful peaceful harmless creatures that get really big and have a real scary look. I've only seen one in my life time and that was while I was on a bull shark trip for research in Northern New jersey. I'd love to see another.
Poor shark, alls it wants is peace n quiet but instead it gets shouting and stones thrown at it!! Don't people know how to learn their kids to be respectful?! Especially around an animal that's been on the earth for millions of years before us?!....
The people there were just curious because a shark came so close to land, just like sharks become curious when people enter the ocean. The shark clearly didn't look distressed at all and it probably didn't care less about what was happening around it, including the one tiny fucking pebble that was thrown. I'll bet you're one of those people who find the slightest thing to complain about when it comes to animals. Just shut the fuck up, you're blowing the whole video out of proportion with your idiotic comment.
Damon van Halen for your information the shark would have been well aware of its surroundings!! Most types of fish and sharks sense by vibrations and with that lot yelling and the throwing of 'one tiny fucking pebble' will have spooked it at least a little!!
I feel like that little girl with her arms crossed was standing dangerously close to that shark, thought it was about to jump out the water and get her
My head canon is right after the video ends he accelerates to max speed and breaches the water to bring that dude on his board down. Seeing as he is a basking shark instead of eating him he allows his Evil intent to flow and just holds him down at the bottom until he drowns, gifting his body to the Shark God Bruce who made his debut in Finding Nemo.
ive been told that basking sharks are common in british waters, even if it wasnt a basking shark, which it definately was, its still cool to see sharks up close.
"common" but having a large range it is very rare to actually see one. Maybe lucky to get 1 or 2 sightings a year. It's not like seeing for example a blacktip reef shark in warmer climates, which tend to stay in shallower water and do not venture far outside their range.
I see a basking shark very close to the coast of Norfolk UK.it was about 30 feet from the beach.it was black in colour and 13 to 15 ft long.no one freaked out and no one lobed rocks at it.
How lucky to see this magnificent creature although I’d be somewhat concerned for its well being being this close to shore in a harbour & circling as if confused or lost these people shout scream & throw rocks!..... & they say we’ve evolved!.... I think there’s more than one type of modern human being. All the best beautiful people
@@paulb4687 really ? What wars has Ireland started ? We have certainly been subject to the aggressions of many yet we haven't shown ours to others ? Where are you from Paul b ? You better not say the UK lol
About 40 years ago when i was a wee boy on holidays, there was one swam along the outside of the harbour close to the ice cream hut catching fishermen's lines as it passed.
I thought it was a harmless shark by the way it moved; more whale shark like. The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second largest living fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eating sharks besides the whale shark and megamouth shark. It is a cosmopolitan migratory species, found in all the world's temperate oceans. It is a slow-moving filter feeder; its common name derives from its habit of feeding at the surface, appearing to be basking in the warmer water there. It has anatomical adaptations for filter feeding, such as a greatly enlarged mouth and highly developed gill rakers. Its snout is conical and the gill slits extend around the top and bottom of its head. The gill rakers, dark and bristle-like, are used to catch plankton as water filters through the mouth and over the gills. The basking shark is usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin. The caudal (tail) fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape. The teeth of the basking shark are very small and numerous, and often number one hundred per row. The teeth have a single conical cusp, are curved backwards, and are the same on both the upper and lower jaws. Adults typically reach 6-8 m (20-26 ft) in length. Basking sharks are believed to overwinter in deep waters. They may be found in either small schools or alone. Small schools in the Bay of Fundy and the Hebrides have been seen swimming nose to tail in circles in what may be a form of mating behaviour. Despite their large size and threatening appearance, basking sharks are not aggressive and are harmless to humans. It has long been a commercially important fish, as a source of food, shark fin, animal feed, and shark liver oil. Overexploitation has reduced its populations to the point where some have disappeared and others need protection.
People saying “privileged kids” throwing rocks. It’s wrong for kids to throw Rocks, I agree.... BUT ITS ALSO WRONG FOR ADULTS to expect kids to be anything but kids. They are kids they don’t realize they are doing anything wrong. Be annoyed at the parents who allow them to throw rocks. A child needs to be taught, it’s parents who fail to teach them.
FYI: Dolphins have horizontal tail fins. They use it as a propulsion to move faster and one of the reason they can jump high out of the water. If you don't see a horizontal tail fins that's not a dolphin.
If you read and understand it which obviously not, I am emphasizing on the shapes of their tailfins. You're such a dumb commenting back like, how do fish swims? Of course with their fins, dummy. Hahaha..
I've seen one once while swimming and it was so cute, it's sad to remember that they're endangered due to killing for fins because they're so friendly.
for those who don't know, this is a Basking Shark, a harmless filter feeder, similar to the Whale Shark in diet and behavior. You could've hopped in and swam beside it albeit the freezing water.
Yep, very peaceful.
Now i understand more , thanks for this precious information ✌🏾

Meanwhile the Basket Shark: Do you know where the closest convince store is???
The moment you see a guy on a paddle board with a 5 metre shark in the water you know it's a basking shark.
If it was something else then neither the guy would have been paddling coolly nor would the little girl stand so close to thr waters edge..
Beautiful.creature.
Devilish humans
Havent those kids seen sharks in their life? If not then...............................STOP THROWING ROCKS ON IT !!!!!!!
Well they are Irish.
it will jump
1. It's a Basking Shark so it'd be more scared of them than they are of it.
2. I agree, they shouldn't have thrown stones at the poor thing.
3. It looked pretty lost
mercidita andrade i would blame their parents
they're wild Irish kids
Human: WTF SHARKS RUN
SHARK: HEY MANUSH, I AM HARMLESS
We meet again 10 years later . Thanks RUclips algorithm
Useless parents allowing their children to throw stones at the shark that’s harmless to them.
those weren't stones
@Madsquid994 Stones or not little assholes throwing anything at the shark isn't okay!
Kid: *throwing things at the shark *
Me: * throw that kid at the shark*
Wouldn't have helped, it's the wrong kind of shark 😁
"OMG there's a shark! Hurry up and get the throwing potatoes!"
Reading the comments, I'm glad to hear it's a peaceful shark. But the first thought I had is it looked like a dolphin with its nose. Never heard of a basking shark
am I the only one concerned about the dog?!!!
Jackie Camero nope
Jackie Camero yes beby u r a beauty also
I️ am to
Jackie Camero no I am too
Jackie Camero he was trying to jump and no one was worried XD only about the fricking shark also why are they letting their kids get that close
who was hoping one of the kids woulda been ate?
B4RR4GE 2007 me
B4RR4GE 2007 it’s a basking shark they don’t eat meat they eat plankton
Samantha Melton True. But if it were a meat eating shark then I’d be like “I knew humans were stupid but I didn’t think they would let their kids be right next to the dam thing we’re it can jump out anytime
B4RR4GE 2007 ME!!
B4RR4GE 2007 meeeeeeee
I wish people would teach children to be quiet and respect animals... Same things at zoos... All the screaming, shouting and throwing things at it. Animals deserve respect! We share this world with them.
Adults: Shark in the water!
Kids: poke it with a stick!
I hope it enjoyed it's crowd pleasing appearance.
I like the dog in the beginning he’s like what’s all the commotion about where where oh down here lol
The best shark video in youtube is the one that the dude think its a basking shark and jumps on it only to realize that it is in fact just a huge great white shark
Any chance of a link?
@@lkgreenwell “Thats not a basking shark” is two dudes on a boat
RESPECT YOUR ELDERS, THIS SHARK HAS PROBABLY BEEN AROUND MORE THAN I HAVE
The funny things is, all these little kids are young adults now. Time flies.
they are such beautiful peaceful harmless creatures that get really big and have a real scary look. I've only seen one in my life time and that was while I was on a bull shark trip for research in Northern New jersey. I'd love to see another.
Poor shark, alls it wants is peace n quiet but instead it gets shouting and stones thrown at it!! Don't people know how to learn their kids to be respectful?! Especially around an animal that's been on the earth for millions of years before us?!....
I live there we don't have sharks it was a shock to see first shark in Northern Ireland
Don't forget some kids throw themselves into the animals enclosure at zoos and then get the poor animal shot 😂
Natty S Too true!! I have a feeling that humans aren't as clever as they are made out to be, especially as they put themselves in danger!!....
The people there were just curious because a shark came so close to land, just like sharks become curious when people enter the ocean. The shark clearly didn't look distressed at all and it probably didn't care less about what was happening around it, including the one tiny fucking pebble that was thrown. I'll bet you're one of those people who find the slightest thing to complain about when it comes to animals. Just shut the fuck up, you're blowing the whole video out of proportion with your idiotic comment.
Damon van Halen for your information the shark would have been well aware of its surroundings!! Most types of fish and sharks sense by vibrations and with that lot yelling and the throwing of 'one tiny fucking pebble' will have spooked it at least a little!!
Nem os maiores Heróis das Histórias em quadrinhos tem a frieza dessa garotinha que até cruzou os braços pra ver o Tubarão passando a 1 metro dela.😲

I feel like that little girl with her arms crossed was standing dangerously close to that shark, thought it was about to jump out the water and get her

shark now swimming toward darwin award recipient on paddle board
My head canon is right after the video ends he accelerates to max speed and breaches the water to bring that dude on his board down. Seeing as he is a basking shark instead of eating him he allows his Evil intent to flow and just holds him down at the bottom until he drowns, gifting his body to the Shark God Bruce who made his debut in Finding Nemo.

ive been told that basking sharks are common in british waters, even if it wasnt a basking shark, which it definately was, its still cool to see sharks up close.
"common" but having a large range it is very rare to actually see one. Maybe lucky to get 1 or 2 sightings a year.
It's not like seeing for example a blacktip reef shark in warmer climates, which tend to stay in shallower water and do not venture far outside their range.
I see a basking shark very close to the coast of Norfolk UK.it was about 30 feet from the beach.it was black in colour and 13 to 15 ft long.no one freaked out and no one lobed rocks at it.
How lucky to see this magnificent creature although I’d be somewhat concerned for its well being being this close to shore in a harbour & circling as if confused or lost these people shout scream & throw rocks!..... & they say we’ve evolved!.... I think there’s more than one type of modern human being. All the best beautiful people
those weren't rocks
And they're kids from Ireland , Im pretty sure aggression is in their DNA.
@@paulb4687 really ? What wars has Ireland started ? We have certainly been subject to the aggressions of many yet we haven't shown ours to others ? Where are you from Paul b ? You better not say the UK lol

About 40 years ago when i was a wee boy on holidays, there was one swam along the outside of the harbour close to the ice cream hut catching fishermen's lines as it passed.
I can't believe that somebody actually threw a little tiny piece of bread in the water. Really.
I like how dogs are always part of the movie
even in reality
What kind of shark is that?
basking shark.
I thought it was a harmless shark by the way it moved; more whale shark like.
The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second largest living fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eating sharks besides the whale shark and megamouth shark. It is a cosmopolitan migratory species, found in all the world's temperate oceans. It is a slow-moving filter feeder; its common name derives from its habit of feeding at the surface, appearing to be basking in the warmer water there. It has anatomical adaptations for filter feeding, such as a greatly enlarged mouth and highly developed gill rakers. Its snout is conical and the gill slits extend around the top and bottom of its head. The gill rakers, dark and bristle-like, are used to catch plankton as water filters through the mouth and over the gills. The basking shark is usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin. The caudal (tail) fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape. The teeth of the basking shark are very small and numerous, and often number one hundred per row. The teeth have a single conical cusp, are curved backwards, and are the same on both the upper and lower jaws. Adults typically reach 6-8 m (20-26 ft) in length.
Basking sharks are believed to overwinter in deep waters. They may be found in either small schools or alone. Small schools in the Bay of Fundy and the Hebrides have been seen swimming nose to tail in circles in what may be a form of mating behaviour. Despite their large size and threatening appearance, basking sharks are not aggressive and are harmless to humans.
It has long been a commercially important fish, as a source of food, shark fin, animal feed, and shark liver oil. Overexploitation has reduced its populations to the point where some have disappeared and others need protection.
Stephen -zzirdome Thanks!
+Stephen -zzirdome yep sure looks like it
+Stephen -zzirdome no it's not
"Ahhh, will you look at that. A beautiful, majestic ocean creature. Now where's a rock?"
"they are hurting the sharks feelings"
Me "I've seen it swim. What else can I get it to do"
Yup. I'd be that guy. Always have, always will.
It makes me sad that sharks have been demonised to the point where little kids throw things at it.
Hope baby shark changes that
im pretty sure those kids are just trying to get a reaction from it, very unlikely that they think it's a monster or something
little kids are demons
A juvenile basking shark! These gentle giants have given me a fright many times when I use to windsurf of the coast of Cornwall!
It eat plankton .... If your a plankton your doomed if not dont worry ☺
Karl Calito at first i toght sand tiger but then I saw were it was located
Karl Calito I would marry a shark
Did you see great white too??
Everyone keeps saying it's harmless to humans. Did it tell you that? Look at the size of that thing. Why is it so harmless? Is it's mouth closed?
props to the little children who panic and scream hysterically and laughfin and get crazy funny happy
basking shark is a rare protected species. everyone should have informed child support instantly about how these kids are borderline psychopaths.
MrAnimepredator borderline psychopath?! They're just kids playing around. Lighten up, drama queen.
So harming an rare and endangered species is fun? Wow... you're sick
No, but they're dumb fucking kids who don't know any better.
"Harming" did the shark look injured or harmed in any way?
Again, quit being such a drama queen!
Sola fide You're in denial, I guess you kick puppies on a daily basis
Oh yeah throw a rock at it good job
😂😂
Xi yeah... it was seaweed.
Matthew Clark First object was a stone/rock
Lmfao
gozitan5 no one cares that was awesome😎
They're just excited kids. All you critics on here bashing the kids would of acted the exact same way at that age.
Why are these people screaming..leave it alone..his home is in the water
People saying “privileged kids” throwing rocks. It’s wrong for kids to throw Rocks, I agree.... BUT ITS ALSO WRONG FOR ADULTS to expect kids to be anything but kids. They are kids they don’t realize they are doing anything wrong. Be annoyed at the parents who allow them to throw rocks. A child needs to be taught, it’s parents who fail to teach them.
EXACTLY!
Yep
That’s what I’ve been thinking
it's also stupid for adults to mistake seaweed for rocks
Yes but I don't just think that's kids being kids either.
THAT'S A BASKING SHARK
Ethan chang blogs I know
YES IT IS

shark lover Boii WHAT THE HECK IS A BASKING SHARK¿¡¿ A shark is a shark
@@wowsoamazing349 its a type of shark that doesnt eat humans, only plankton.
How can you tell it’s a basking shark? What are the distinguishing features? I’m not familiar with them.
FYI: Dolphins have horizontal tail fins. They use it as a propulsion to move faster and one of the reason they can jump high out of the water. If you don't see a horizontal tail fins that's not a dolphin.
I see you're trying to be smart there however you're not. Did I say sharks can't move fast or not use their tail fins? Lol
If you read and understand it which obviously not, I am emphasizing on the shapes of their tailfins. You're such a dumb commenting back like, how do fish swims? Of course with their fins, dummy. Hahaha..
Imagine throwing rocks at a harmless shark.
those weren't rocks
That Basking Shark is lost! Wow! Shark: "How i end up here? No plankton here.... I'll turn around. Wonder what all that commotion is up there?" 😂😂😂
Human: Shark!!!!
Shark: What????
😂😂
I've seen one once while swimming and it was so cute, it's sad to remember that they're endangered due to killing for fins because they're so friendly.
