Video: Woman Feeds Great White Shark by Hand From Boat

Posted on June 4, 2011

Shark expert Valerie Taylor feeds a great white shark by hand off the side of the boat in this video. This is way closer than most people would want to get to a great white, let alone hand feed one. She also patted the shark on the hand. Valerie Taylor says she felt she could have gone in the water with the shark and it would not have bitten her. She says she doesn't get this feeling with all great white sharks. Take a look:

The footage in the clip is from a 1999 Australian Geographic documentary, Shadow of the Shark.
