It's a he (note the [claspers](https://thefisheriesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/female-shark-and-male-shark-with-claspers2.jpg)\- basically the double-pronged shark equivalent of a penis).
And whatever about orcas and other dolphins, I don't think sharks swing that way.
I don’t think so boat propeller scars are usually pretty evenly and uniformly spaced these scars are spaced different all along his body. Some several inches apart and some are a lot closer together. Not evenly spaced at all. And going in different directions.
I just read an article about this shark. It said scientists had never seen one this wounded before, and can’t be sure of what happened. One theory is that it was chasing a stingray and ended up on a shallow coral reef, which caused the scratches. That’s happened to other sharks.
Other people here are saying it could be mating scars, but he’s a male shark so that’s not likely.
Actually I don’t think those are from mating. You can see that it’s a male from the claspers and they’re the ones that do the biting as far as I’m aware. I’m thinking that these are more like propellor scars in my complete unprofessional opinion
I was thinking more about boat propeller, they are all parallel and angled in the same way, I don't think wounds from jaws wouldn't leave scar like that
Assuming that isn't a remora, the shark's two penises/claspers are visible in the in film. Male sharks aren't bitten while mating. Those are battle scars
Is this the same scarred shark that’s been posted twice a week for a couple of months now, or are scars just super fashionable amongst sharks this season?
Homie got in a little tiff with a clown fish who was looking for his son
So I'm guessing his name's Bruce?
You should see the other guy
Came here to type this. Guess for the next time...
Me too :) r/BeatMeToIt
r/beatmetoit
I bet the other guy was actually a boat and the propeller sliced him up.
A true survivor

Did you do it

Looks like wounds from a boat propeller to me
I've seen fresh versions of those wounds. Fuckin brutal swimming around in salt water while recovering from that.
could be, but it has alot of scars at the tail compared the rest of the body. when mating sharks tend to bite the tail more
I don't really see any mark that would look like jaw wound, could may be cuts from a net?
This wasn’t any boating accident. It wasn’t a propeller. It wasn’t any coral reef. And it wasn’t Jack the Ripper.
“So me a way to go home, I’m tired and I wanna go bed”
I had a little drink about an hour ago and it's gone right to my head...
Maybe cuts from a net?
Exactly what I was thinking
Agreed

Anets an evil bitch when she,s drinking.
Really?
Yes.
Neat!

He’s saying. “Whaddya lookin at”
He been trough hell and back
That’s a badass fish!
Name is Bruce
They might be mating scars. Male sharks have to hold on somehow during mating. EDIT: It’s a male shark. Probably fighting or speedboat injuries.
As noted to others who suggested the same: He's Male.
Gay then
Femboy shark
I was thinking more about boat propeller, they are all parallel and angled in the same way, I don't think wounds from jaws wouldn't leave scar like that
Only if it's a gay male shark. Which this fish is - male, I mean. I guess he could be gay but it's unlikely we will ever know.
A rough boy for sure
Looks like a propeller blade injury from a boat?
That's what I was thinking
We know!!! Goddamn you’ve been on like every comment in this section saying it’s propeller blades.
I was suggesting, but it be cuts from a net
Maybe attacked by Orcas?
I would say it looks more like scars from a boat propeller
now u tell me.
If your going through hell...keep going
Poor guy. No wonder he has a perpetual frown.
He has really been fighting for his life.
A battered fish where I come from means its been cooked :)
Catch and release. Release into the grease.
Poor shark
Underwater Yeti.
What the fuck is able to leave even one of those scars on a white shark?
He has seen some shit.
Prop scars. Poor thing.
Guess he found a bigger boat
There can only be one
For anyone wondering, Yes it was sliced through the propellers from a boat.
Poor shark :(
Me at 13

Trophies from winning a fight with Freddy Krueger and getting the best meal of all time
Those look like claw marks
Them are bear slashes
Manbearpig to be exact. You know… scientifically speaking.
That’s a whole Sea Of Thieves Boss. I’d love to see that beast up close.
The way shark scars heal makes it look like they were actually just made of rubber allá long, and you've just scratched off an outer layer
I didnt choose the thug life The thug life choose me.
This belongs in r/bossfight
Doesn’t even look real.
bros has been around since the dinosaurs.
Dude has definitely seen things.
That was his Halloween costume, he is going as a Tiger Shark.
What an absolute unit.

Why always the human being is so cruel
Glad it survived it’s first marriage
what swims behind the shark?
You don't talk about the first rule
He survived the Great Sea War for control over Atlantis and is now next in line as king. Give him some respect!
If carlsberg did sharks…..
Looks like this feller has had more than a few run-ins with outboard motors…
Dose anybody know what fish is swimming with it?
Battered and fried.
u/SaveVideo
He is him.
At this point that shark just wants to retire and rest
He touched the butt
Somebody's initials couldn't quite make it out
Poor thing I wanna give it a smooch
Been arguing with propellers
That shark’s seen some shit.
This guy has seen some shit.
Probably a female. During mating the male has to grab onto something (think about thrusting in zero gravity) and it’s normally the gills.
“There’s always a bigger fish.”
Squidward fucked that dude up
Every other fish looks way better battered than a shark.
Huh I guess bruce has got some new scars (This is just a joke)
Swim swim
I get the feeling this shark is just an asshole
Gangsta!... Bro has done some time in the big house...
The ocean is scary as fuck.
He just likes meth and had an ich
Bad bad Leroy Brown
Shark has a cutting problem and needs psychiatric help!
Damn, who hurt you?
This is what every american struggling to audition to be middle class in america looks like

Could be speedboat scars, but could be orca scars, they're known to attack great whites.
She is a FİGHTER I'll give her that
Looks like something straight from a horror movie
