Kayakers Spot Basking Shark Near the Irish Coast

A group of kayakers were navigating their way around the Blasket Islands in County Kerry, Ireland, when they spotted a basking shark on April 19. This video shows the moment of the encounter. Noel O'Leary who recorded the video told the http://www.independent.ie/life/travel/ireland/watch-kayakers-meet-worlds-secondlargest-sharks-off-kerry-coast-35656870.html Irish Independent : "They are amazing animals to watch. You see them coming towards you, but you know they are harmless. They duck a few inches to go under the boat. There is no extra movement. You sit still, and they just pop back up the other side." Basking sharks are the world's second-largest fish and can be seen feeding near the Irish coast from April to August. (Footage By Noel O'Leary/Storyful via Getty Images)
