Deep blue shark

The shark, believed to be one known as Deep Blue, weighs 2.5 tonnes and is nearly 20ft long.

The ocean is shrouded in mystery. It covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, yet we know very little about it when you consider how vast it is. In fact, it is estimated that at least 80% of the ocean has never been mapped, explored or seen by any humans. So what is lurking out there? We’ll never know everything, but one online group is dedicated to featuring all of the creepy, beautiful and fascinating creatures that are living deep down in the sea.

Badass pictures, gifs and videos of the awesome yet vicious cycle of nature.

Either way, congrats!

While inspecting shark activity around a whale carcass off the coast of Hawaii, divers encountered a great white shark believed to be the largest ever recorded.

The enormous predator, known as 'Deep Blue', was first seen by diver and photographer Mark Mohler and Kimberly Jeffries on Sunday last week nine miles from the coast off the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

The 20ft-long female known as Deep Blue stunned the world last year when video was unveiled of it dwarfing cage divers off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico.
