It's a shitty CGI of a GW shark.
The REAL video on Planet Earth is astounding. That is garbage.

| At the peak of the jump the GW's tail is twisted in a horizontal position that is characteristic of aquatic mammals. That might explain the confusion. |
Whales and GWs are both aquatic mammals. |

A great white shark is a mammal???  Back to 3rd grade biology for you, man.
At first couple of looks I thought it could have been an orca. The very dark coloring on its top threw me a bit. |

I thought Killer when I first saw it, too, but then I saw the jawline. Shark for sure (unless photoshopped?). |

| I think it's a killer whale...I've never seen the commercial, but without the song I thought it was a killer whale. Then debated, after I listened to it. But I vote whale. |

Double-dipped in cornmeal and deep fried, no doubt.  |

You don't have to pause it. It's a shark.
What kind of zoology are they teaching the kids these days? |

Yep the clincher ....the GWs pectoral fins are the easiest to spot for confirmation,,, the killer whale has rounder pectoral flippers
here's another link with a good vid and pics: http://refernet.typepad.com/jdragon/2005/10/killer_whale_vs.html
OP, hope you didn't bet too much |

At the risk of exposing myself as the geek I am, the stakes were choice of teams for a game of NHL '09 on X-Box 360. Meaning that my buddy will probably choose Team Canada for himself, and he'll choose some loser AHL team for me.
And with me conceding defeat, I guess the time has come to end this thread before it --dare I say it?--- jumps the shark |

Great Whites eat seals, as shown.
Killer whales also eat seals, as see-

better in my mind, as they come up on the beach and wait for the next wave to pull them back in. MASSIVE (mammal) NATURE IN MASSIVE DISPLAY. |
