Friends Found - Tiger Sharks of Tiger Beach Bahamas

[alexforever17]

Im 13 years old and ever since I went to an aquirium when i was little, ive been loving sharks.

I study about them in books and have posters of real photos people have taken on my wall. Their intellegence is so great and their so pretty to watch and understand. Some people think their monsters of the deep, when actually their the beautiful creatures of the sea. <3

[ValeoFilms]

@alexforever17 Hi Alex. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so glad that you study the sharks and draw your own conclusions about them as intelligent beautiful creatures. We are currently finishing a documentary about that very thing and will let you know once we post it. Best, David

[marinefish321]

yup kitesufer34, but there are good shark attack videos and shark info on the net also. My favorite is the likesharks site. they have research, videos, and more all about sharks and attacks. Type likesharks into google and its the first one! Tell me know what you think !

SPECTACULAR video. Nothing infuriates me more than those who are oblivious to a sharks beauty, and consider them a threat. They are absolutely beautiful animals that are completely misunderstood, and I wish there was some way to change the world's opinion on these creatures to see them as you and I do. I'll keep trying to educate those around me, though, and work in small ways to conserving the species. One day, I look forward to greeting a shark in the water as an old friend, as you describe.

[ValeoFilms]

@dreamcatchingx Thank you. :-) I appreciate your comments and thank you for all that you are doing for sharks and to inform and educate. No matter how large are small a contribution, movement in the direction of conservation and preservation is conservation and preservation in action and EVERY bit makes a BIG difference. I will work to give you more materials so that you can continue with your efforts and so that you can one day find that old friend in the water. Thank you!! D

I love swimming with sharks but I would never try to ride a tiger!

[xkirkie]

Beautifully done.... Thanks David for making the clip... :)

Beautiful video. Love sharks since I saw Jaws. It is great that many people are getting involved with sharks awareness, but it is still not enuff. Something more must be done to ensure they will live on despite the overwhelmingly humans population. Save the shark, spread the word.

[ValeoFilms]

@dj17q Thank you..!! Yes i agree, more needs to be done.  We are currently working with organizations to do just that. In the future we will be developing programs that will allow everybody to be a part of shark research, conservation and education!! (stay tuned) =)

[dj17q]

@ValeoFilms Cool, but I have been hearing numerous things to save sharks for some time yet still seeing so many sharks, big n small, getting hammered left, right n centre all the time. Several species now critically listed, so something BIG must be done NOW. I feel the governments must step in as well. 100 millions sharks getting slaughtered every year is awfully, unbearable thing to know. But it is good we have greater people than before who are starting to understand sharks much better.

[dj17q]

@ValeoFilms Also I feel it will really help alot if we have someone 'important', like a celebrity star, stepping in to share this awful truth (shark killings). Hayden Panettiere made headlines re. dolphins in Japan few years ago but what we need is someone to stand in for sharks. I do believe Jessica Alba is involved somewhat but I am not that sure now. I hope she is, she has an excellent understanding in things including wildlife and I think we, and the sharks, could use her for good PR.

How can someone give this video a negative vote?! Must be his ex wife; the chef from the local Chinese restaurant or so..?! I love it. And best of all... I'll be at TB in April this year! A present my wife gave me for my 50th birthday! Lucky me :0))

[OracleDan]

would love to see that guy get mauled

[DeepAddiction47]

@OracleDan -SMART COMMENT DICKHEAD!!!!!!!!

[mjjt111]

@OracleDan yea you now that is something we would like to see

[jaxon19kira]

that was amaizing. shark the name even makes u tremble but not many have ever gotten down and been with them like u did.i admire your bravery and it is amaizong that one of the most feired creatures arent that vicious. it seems people only talk about the bad stuff sharks do thank u for showing the other.

[ValeoFilms]

@jaxon19kira Thank you!! Sharks are very special creatures and I'm glad you appreciate their intelligence and beauty. I'll be posting more work very soon and look forward to your thoughts. =)

[sookiestackhouse2u]

most of the sharks here aren't tiger sharks ,,,

[ValeoFilms]

@sookiestackhouse2u - Yes. The majority of the sharks in this video are Lemon Sharks. This region called Tiger Beach is very close to the Lemon Shark nursery so allot of them are around. Tiger Beach used to be frequented over a dozen regular Tiger Sharks, but due to overfishing in the region and world wide pollutants we see fewer Tiger Sharks every year.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

@ValeoFilms ... people are more important than sharks. we should get rid of all of them. this way, there will be more fish in the ocean to feed humanity.

[waters84]

@sookiestackhouse2u

No people are not more important than sharks. We're a greedy, selfish race which fight over natural resources we don't own and pollute and rape the earth beyond repair. It will be our downfall. These creatures will be here long after we die!

[sookiestackhouse2u]

@waters84 ... GO HUMANS! GO HUMANS!

[jackpolanen]

Great!

[Zion1122]

More people die of eating sharks than being killed by sharks. Bees, lightning, coconuts and buckets also kill more humans than sharks.

[jaxon19kira]

@Zion1122 hahaha buckets ... u r smart do u know wild bores kill over 100 more humans a year

[chibikidz]

my eyes were getting fuzzy cause this made me realize that sharks are more scared of us then are of then i think some day ill intradouce myself :) nice job! 100%

[ValeoFilms]

@chibikidz Thank you! I can't say how happy it makes me to hear you say that. Just like most animals in the wild, sharks are very afraid of us. They are smart and curious and always looking for insight in to who and what we are. There are times when they are best left alone, but I can't wait to hear your comments when you meet one in person.

[chibikidz]

@ValeoFilms i'll make sure to get back to you on that , and remember this "One Miracle At a Time".

[franklanguage]

I can see from this how they came to be called the "dogs" of the ocean.

[Jonyxz78]

1:00 is paradise

[Saurion1992]

Amazingly beautiful. I'm in love with these animals.

[ValeoFilms]

Thank you Saurion! TIgers are by far one of the most personable sharks. In some parts they are called the Buda of the ocean. Thanks for your comment.

[yankeechick1000]

omg they are so calm.

[ValeoFilms]

Yes they are...! All to often, sharks are depicted as fast moving animals. Although they are capable reaching remarkable speeds, the calories and energy they expend in reaching those speeds is often not worth the payoff unless they are hunting. In my video it was my goal to depict the true nature of sharks in the ocean. This is what it is like to swim and play with them. Thank you for your comment!

[MissSanthagen1988]

So sweet !

[ValeoFilms]

thank you!  :)

[chaonsy1]

Anyone know what music is used in this movie? I love it and i want it :))) Help

[ValeoFilms]

glad you liked the music! it's from the Backtraxx royally free audio library.

[chaonsy1]

Thank you. Trying to get this music somewhere.

[ValeoFilms]

Thank you very much for you comment on Friends Found. This video has very special meaning to me as i found new friends on that trip; not only in the people, but in the sharks as well. ~ DU
