New pants, please

Chief Brody wouldn’t stand a chance.

This 20ft shark is quite the beast.

That’s right, it’s a shark with 20 feet. Or something. We never studied sharkology in school so we can’t be sure.

This footage of an absolutely gargantuan Great White shark was filmed off the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and was posted to Facebook by biologist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla.

On his Facebook page, Hoyos described the shark, dubbed ‘Deep Blue’ by scientists, as the biggest ever seen near the island of Guadalupe.

We’re going to need a bigger shark cage.

I give you the biggest white shark ever seen in front of the cages in Guadalupe Island….DEEP BLUE!!!Este es el tiburón blanco mas grande visto desde las jaulas en Isla Guadalupe…DEEP BLUE!!!

Here’s some footage for a Discovery Channel documentary in which a team of scientists actually managed to tag the giant beast from beneath.
