Video Released of Biggest Great White Shark Ever Filmed in The Gasp Menagerie

default-featured-image

We talk a lot about sharks here in The Gasp Menagerie.  Many folks here at Dread Central, current and past, are kind of obsessed with them.  They also happen to be scary as hell.  I have a friend who doesn’t swim in anything other than swimming pools because she’s afraid of sharks.  If the pool looks a little too much like a natural body of water, she won’t swim in it.  This includes ponds.  My friend is really, really afraid of sharks.

This, then, would be nightmare fuel.  Folks, meet Deep Blue.  She’s not the chess-playing supercomputer; she’s the biggest Great White shark ever filmed.

Conservationist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla released this video, shot in 2013 during a tagging expedition to track Great Whites.  Deep Blue is 20 feet of meat-eating killing machine.

The kicker is that she was pregnant so feel free to roll any Jaws 3-esque revenge tales in your head for anyone who harms her.

Padilla and his group, Pelagios Kakunja, work to protect sharks in the Mexican Pacific.  Check out information about their charity below and decide if you want to donate or just go get a bigger boat.

Explore The Gasp Menagerie!

Have a weird story? Potential evidence of the supernatural, or at least something hard to explain? Spot any creepy critters out there roaming the wilds? LET ME KNOW! I’d love to talk about it and possibly write it up right here in The Gasp Menagerie. You’ll get appropriate credit, of course, and everyone else will get fresh creepy (as opposed to fresh Creepy, which, trust me… nobody wants that) to enjoy. As always, I can be found at mrdark@dreadcentral.com.

Now get out there, find some weird, and let’s get this party started.
