Default Anyone here hand hold a shark? (youtube video)

Here is an interesting video on a shark handler.
I wonder if this guy can tame my clown so I can mount some frags.

Enjoy...

Back in the 80s, I used to hand hold & hand feed my Smooth Horn Shark. It was very cool. The skin is like really rough leather, very grainy to the touch. Easy to get a grip on this sandpaper-like surface though.

Of course it was only 8" long when I bought it and just under 2' when I sold it. Not a monster at all. Very tame. Never bit.

there was an interesting documentary i guess you could call in on the bbc over xmas and they were talking about fish fin soup and how it needs to be stopped ect, but they followed an old tribe around (cant remember where) that actually call sharks, they basically sit in a boat with a rope and sing then the shark swims by they catch it and eat it... it was worth watching

The lady that is petting the shark is well known in the world for her research and handling of sharks. Not sure if everybody realizes thats a woman in the video. She has been studying sharks for years and has been trying to help change the image some people have of them...Kudo's to her.

I did, it's just that apparently nobody listens to me. What else is new.
