KILL IT!!!!!!

In my opinion the scariest place on earth is the ocean or deep sea. You never know what the hell is out there and when I see pictures like this my fears are confirmed.



That's the CookieCutter shark. The one pictured above attacked a swimmer recently off the coast of Hawaii. It's a smaller fish but you can tell by the teeth that it's no doubt viscous. The swimmer survived the attack and was able to nab the fish in the process. Scientists are saying that it's the first documented attack on a human and we could see more in the coming months. CookieCutters won't normally attack people but if they're hungry enough they might have a go. Their teeth act like a melon baller, the shark is able to rotate it's jaw as it chews and moves in a scooping motion, removing flesh and tissue at the same time.
Experts say that the shark sticks mostly to smaller prey but has been known to attack tuna, dolphin, and even smaller whales. They have the biggest teeth of any shark in relation to the size of their jaws. Scary shit, stay out of the water.
