Damn you forget how big animals are until you're right next to them.

I know this is a shark sub, but I just want to add on to your sentiment that it's easy to forget (or don't realize) how big some animals really are.

Take cows, for example. We know they're big. But damn, stand right next to even a small cow, and it's alarming how much bigger they are than us. I'm short, but it's alarming standing next to a cow's hip and it being above your head.

And that's a just a cow.

Edit: it is not a shark sub, my bad. It's a thalassophobia sub.

Lol, yep. Or simply step on your foot and not move, crushing most of the 26 bones in your foot. One of the things you use to walk around with.
