Chances of seeing a giant from the deep are just around the corner, as shark season looms in the UK.

At least 21 species live in British waters all year round including some of the largest and fastest.

As well as the 21 resident sharks, there are at least 11 deepwater shark species. Including the Portuguese Dogfish, Black Dogfish, Kitefin Shark and Gulper Shark.

But don't worry, all are harmless, it still is safe to go back in the water.

Man, they've really stepped up their game since the '70s.

Just in case, punch them or poke their eyes, they're sooks when you fight back.
