    Wait. It’s rare to even See a shark out there? I thought they were like polar bears in that

    • they already know you’re there
    • they can smell you 20 miles out
    • if you even could be tasty, they’re coming to see
    • they can stalk, hunt, kill, and eat you in like 8 minutes
    • there’s a shitload around Churchill

    No? If I go snorkeling, I probably won’t even see one?

    Now, Humboldt squid, though, scare the absolute fuck out of me. Like, I think I couldlearn to do the shark redirect action. Polar Bear I just look around and also don’t go to Churchill unless I wanna see them - basically, just respect their space. Humboldts have been spotted from Nayarit to Nome, 05-1000ft, and there’s no reasoning with those evil bastard packs, so nope.
