  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Real life not as spectacular as the movie version. Looks kinda cute and harmless.

Creature is definitely not basking shark as the gills are proportionally much shorter. Definitely not a whale shark either as the creature is shaped much more like a Great White shark, only 3x bigger!

P.S. Remain vigilant for satellite debris that might fall on you!

Looking further down the comments on the Twitter article: Joachim Voldseth on Twitter: "@ScienceChannel "science channel" or as i call it. Fake new pseudo science channel. This has been debunked many years ago. The animal in the footage is a Pacific sleeper shark and it was not 60 feet long, it was close to 20. The cage you see is much smaller than depicted." / Twitter

I just realized when I googled it^_^ It was from an old Japanese submersible footage, back in '89.

The shark did thrashed around in a manner that made it seem quite huge and massive and it looked incredibly old, got me fooled!

We have one very happy sleeper shark though.
