I don't think it's a blue shark. 10 meters long, estimated at 5 tons in weight.

From the pictures it looks enormous, do y'all think its a blue shark?

Giant shark story and photos

That is a big animal. I wouldn't want to meet that thing in the water!

Wow that thing is huge,I wonder what the person who baught it will do with it.

I don't think that's a blue shark. It says here that they grow between 60kg and 80kg. I don't think it's a blue shark if it truely weighs 5 tons. To me this sounds like what some people in the cryptozoology forum would call proof of the cryptid megaladon. Share it with them there. Oh and I'd really like to see pictures of its teeth. It would be easier to identifiy if we had pictures of the teeth.

Carnivorous? I hope not.

Could it be a basking shark?

oh my!

how did they catch it,

with a missile.

wow thats a big animal.

maybe a blue shark mated with a whale.

you never know it might be possible.

nice find smoo diver.

I agree with the notion that it's a basking shark. No way is that a blue shark. I've seen enough blue sharks in person to know.

Due to the smiliarities between the Chinese one and the photos in this story, I think it's a basking shark.

What about a Greenland shark?

It doesn't seem to have teeth though and so I'm thinking basking

Yup I have to go with the majority on this one and say basking shark. Calling it a blue shark must have been a mix up in the translation or someone really doesn't know there sharks very well. Maybe frogfish will stop by and confirm this.

Yea I was thinking basking shark as well, I like the photos from the Portuguese link Schnaffler posted, looking at the first photo and switching from the shark to the people, well it just makes me go wow.

Yea, it does look to be a basking shark. They even got the same noses and eyes. Cot dang that's a big shark though!

Who's that gut lord marching? You should cut down on your porklife mate get some exercise!

TeraLink Was Here!

Wow that might be a living MEGALODON! as they say! my GOD! send it to some Zoology, Cryptology, or some biological lab. to be examined.

Yeah, I really think that's a basking shark. That CAN'T be a blue shark. It's too big!

As blue sharks are one of the smaller species of shark, I seriously doubt that it is a blue in any way or form. I couldn't get the original posts story up (believe it has been removed at the other end) so could not see for definate.
