“A great white flipped on its back goes to sleep. Well, I learned something new today.”
After the youtube with the Orca killing the great white by flipping it over on its back. A sick joke went around the kayakers, surfers and other humans doing their thing in great white territory:
“If attacked by a great white while in the ocean, just flip it over on its back, and it will go to sleep!”
An interesting sidebar re flipping water critters over on their back to calm them down can be used with most fish* of any size if you are try to catch and release.
Instead of grabbing them by the lip or under their bellies, just flip them upside down and hold them until you remove the hook. After removing the hook and put the fish back in the water right side up. Then grab them by their tail and push their head into the incoming or outgoing tide or upstream until they are breathing again. They will let you know when to release them.
*Don’t try this with large fish, over 20 pounds. Never try it with a big Artic halibut. They can break bones and destroy your boat.
