Shark Research - South Africa

[TerraceYouth]

Sorry, but you're never going to convince the average person that a 3000 pound flesh-eating creature with a mouth full of razor-sharp serrated teeth is somehow a misunderstood creature.

[stuntquality]

totallly agree

sharks do what they do naturally. they were born in the ocean for a reason you idiots.

like any animal it has its own instincts, if you are going to go into its habitat it will react, just like us.

[oppenjack]

Keep the nets away : they kill more sharks , turtles, whales, dolphins ! than the sharks bite people !!!

They NEVER intentionally attack people ; what the media call a shark "attack" is really a shark "mistake" : we are NOT a food source for them.

But take care if you eat them ! alarming concentrations of mercury are found in sharks : this can cause neurobiological deseases, and also sexual dysfunction and sterility !

[quidnick]

want to know why mating levels are at a low in the natural world? Well, if your a shark at the aquarium could you get sexually exited by some loser in a green 'conserve' t-shirt giving your mate a rectal exam? i think not.

[hahanoob01]

The less sharks the better

[soothsayer1985]

@hahanoob01 Now thats real smooth and mature... Tell ya what.. The next time you have an opinion about something, write it down on your hand, then stick it in a fucking blender!!

[wtfpwndzor]

Idiots.

Read the description carefully, the scientists aren't the ones killing the sharks, they scavenge through the nets to untangle any creatures and whatever is a shark and dead is taken back to the institute and researched.

Stop the baseless accusations, blame the idiots that set up the net in the first place, not these people trying for trying to be productive.

[TheBbg83]

People need to not make animals extinct I agree but if you gonna come to these vids to cry about how watching it hurt your feelings then stfu and stop watching...GD you people cry over everything.

[sukolov]

quella è uno Squalo Nutrice pezzi de mmerda nn attacca l'uomo

[brandengymoty]

the first shark is one big muther fucker



[reillyboy100]

shark research my ass!

how the fuck is killing it research

[TheNinjacat10]

@adamnQ8 right

[iiwebdesignblog]

Damn people dont need to know everything ...

[sportygorty]

Come to Norway and swim.

Here are no dangerous sharks ;o)

[abercrombieskirt]

we get to go to south africa every year ;)

[bigballlllsofun]

the oceans are becoming the next rubish dump 1000s of tonnes ofplastic are dunped along with other nastys left to break down and turn into a soup of toxic shit wich the fish and mammals take in ask your selfs why dont we hear about all this the news conclusion no one gives a fuck about anyone or anything

[makingallpossible]

These scenes are very sad... we will left an empty world to our sons and grandsons. This research project must help to stop the shark mortality. Human beings are destroying the oceans. It's not enough to destroy the land. Everybody knows the consequences, but nobody is worried because we wont be alive to see or live the lack of seafood and clean water.

[TheSuperhunter95]

does not make sens

[iuzarneim]

that's because i was typing running-on sentences.

try to use the commas and other punctuation marks for reference k?

[Lukaszdoor]

3;53 awesome!

[thatsMrSmileytoyou]

Nnnnnnnno

[iuzarneim]

who pays these fuckers.

might as well give the money to me.

frikin fuckers

[evystar11]

douche bags! If you don't want to be killed by a shark stay away. You don't have to kill them, thats their home not ours. You guys are just a bunch of douche bags leave the things alone, Go to a public pool!

[VioletMauve]

There's no proof that the aliens came before. I think they exist but I'm not ready to say they already came on our planet.

[iuzarneim]

it wasnt aliens.

it was the fallen angels who swore legion to lucifer and did lucifer's will to destroy the seed of the woman so that when the time came for lucifer's head to be crushed [he hoped the seed of the woman was not pure to be called her seed any longer]. so they came and fucked the women and probably animals.

which is why india has animal gods (birth of intelligent animals only possible by supernatural intervention) in this case, evil.

and thus started the "alien" war.

[LB3PO]

Ever wondered why humans have moved so far from their place in the ecosytem?When did we start doing anything other than eating, sleeping and shagging to survive?

Here we are having a discussion about the fate of a species that probably only concerns itself with eating and shagging (dont sleep). The whole planet went downhill the instant we had an original idea. I reckon it was them bloody aliens came down and "helped". but weve been sitting on our hands and arguing to long.

sry 4 sub hijack.

[thatsMrSmileytoyou]

Who says sharks don't sleep

[MRrob1999]

they dont.they nead to keap moving if they want to "get" oxigen into theyr lungs...I know all this stuff and I'm only 10!

[megayahabibi]

@MRrob1999 actually some sharks do sleep.

[bitnola]

The guy in the shark-tooth sweater was the only one who seemed to be doing real research. His findings would be worth knowing.

No one seems to be doing much study of contaminants in relation to reproduction. Shark depopulation is always put down to over-fishing alone. What if their reproductive abilities are being damaged or interfered with by chemical contaminants?

A wide range of chemicals have a known impact upon animal reproductive abilities.

[TheProphiting1]

Why would you spearfish in South Africa, how stupid can you get?

[0892872841]

Why not catch them all. You would have a lot to research and nothing left to worry about......

[sharksbrother]

be away from shark and you will be fine ,......

try to come closer to shark and you will get a bite,......

live the shark alone,.....

i think the human is more dangerous than any other animal,...

we are the destroyers

[jesse05ful]

do u like sharks i do

[sharksbrother]

thank you , yes i do like sharks ,

great , strong , king of the sea, and very important for us as a humans to protect them, not to kill them .

[heavenlyjessica]

We can never predict what sharks or any animals are gonna do when we fuck with them and try and catch em, the deeper we go I am sure there are so many ones we don't know about.

[ThrashNnash]

if your dumb enough to swim with them you deserve it, sharks are probably the most majestic creatures and what do we do we cut off there fins and throw them in the water alive

[XXlordbillyXX]

yueah, i think people should stop killing them, and let them grow back to there normal population.

[hitmankillzone]

thy have stuff in the world for a purpose..u can't just go around killing them

[bloodofthemoon]

think about it sharks look the same as they did a million years ago what do u expect them to do magically grow feet? ok so sharks are stupid (face it they really are) but if the sharks go so do the ecosystems of the oceans the oceans go then we go. we are all connected in some way or the other. PROTECT THE SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND OTHER MARINE ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!! PROTECT OUR OCEANS!!!!!!

[morganrocksthehouse]

K who ever killed the sharks and, was cutting them open to hell they should go.

Why in the hell would you kill a shark, Really look who the victim is, sharks or humans!? I think sharks more sharks are being killed than sharks killing humans. I hope next time that person or ANYONE kills a shark, A shark comes back and eats you and tears you a part. Just because you did that to them. ts not fair I hope a shark eats them people who cutt them up. Theres other food out there for asains to eat. US TO

[TheJhalo1001]

seriously i mean sharks r animals part the worl and i understand how we need some animals to live but we dont need sharks u stupid fuck head asians u tho american and fuc u japanese whale killers to go suc a coc

[aetj11]

I kinda agree with you but wanting someone to die is a little harsh:S

[Tonsilloliths]

Sharks are such freakin' cool animals.

90% of the shark population has been killed in the last 30 years. Due to the high demands for shark fin soup in China and Hong Kong, almost every shark is considered threatened or endangered.

Check out the documentary "Sharkwater" It will blow your mind.

[Lovecraft688]

too bad...shark had better adapt then

[boogyshadow1]

What else can it do? Bite harder??

[jmelville27]

fuck your slack

[IEsorry]

haha

[SwirlyWirlyGirl01]

Sharks can't just adapt like that, It takes time. Anyway, It would make no difference because humans would find another way to catch them, unfortunately. ¬.¬

[admanQ8]

the best research for SHARKS is to leave them alone..

[Rede36m3]

@admanQ8

Now with out research you wouldn't even know sharks or what they can do or what they eat. You would just think of them as evil monsters that want to eat you.

[soothsayer1985]

@Rede36m3 I only slightly agree.. No thanx to "Jaws" it gave sharks a really bad name. But consider this.. We know very little, evn to this day about Great White's, Yet they are on the protected species (endangered) list because of the way humans slaughter them and other sharks.. If we, as humans can go to the god damned moon or clone a fuckin sheep, we can most certainly figure out non- harmful ways for "research".. Just sayin man..

[soothsayer1985]

@admanQ8 I completely agree, my friend !! Words of wisdom :)

[TerraceYouth]

@soothsayer1985 I take it that you and your loved ones stay away from the beachs? You'd better! I just witnessed a shark attack a week back! These babies mean BUSINESS! I say that they should all ALL be exterminated. The same as you would remove any other creature that has been deemed dangerous to man. Why take unnecessary chances with your wife and kids?

The CHILDREN, leftie-lunatics. The CHILDREN. Remember them? You seem to use their plight when it suits you.

[11092202]

its sad tho!!!!!

[1314ck3y3]

we humans are crazy !!!

[SmallMarrow]

YOU ARE SUCK!

[L0neW0lfR1s1ing]

haha your are suck wtf man

[laurensmalter]

shark attacks can be stopped by just placing shark nets in front of the coast where people are swimming (nets with boyes that keep the sharks AWAY, so they don't get trapped..) we don't need to hunt on them to get rid of the danger.. we builded walls to keep the lions out of villages in africa and it works, why not nets to keep the sharks out..?

[objectoflust]

yes it does but theres been countless times when great white sharks have swam and or bitten through the nets because there courious not saying that no other shark can do this but the point is they have tried it the sharks have just figured out how to get through it.

[garter10895]

because that kills sharks, and sharks really arent a big threat.

[3daysgracelover1x]

Will sharks be the next endangered species? ....

well thats sad. because they are.

[whatupscoop]

Speak English Bitch!

[HamsterQueen]

5:02.... Tug of war with a shark?

Shark: No..no, lemme have it! Er....ARRR!!!!

He was being cute and he knew it xD

[SopmodJack1975]

thanks for this upload :)

[zythepsarian]

-as an afternote, i'm all for the scientific research aspect of this vid

[zythepsarian]

i love sharks too, theyre awesome creatures deserving of tons of respect. unfortunately humanity treats them like shit, just like we treat all other life forms like shit, as if it is our right to exploit them all to extinction. what do we care, eh?

[ergo167]

i only feel sorry for the sharks that are harmless and dont kill and get killed badly like if there nose got shot off =P but i still wonder y they attack ppl i want to now the right reason

[RockzormyBoxer]

sharks use elctromagnetic rays emited throught their nose so and so they confuse people for food .. usualyl sharks "attacks" are just the shark biting to test adn see if the people are food and sometimes the sharks will confuse people for food and eat them theres whole episoedes on discovery bout them

[HamsterQueen]

Agreed. A shark's "nibble" is hardly that. They prefer fish blood over human blood, but when humans are splashing around in shark-infested waters, sharks get confused.

[jrgoku1000]

I'm sorry but sharks do not "emit" EM rays,

they receive them using an organ called the

Ampulae of Lorenzini (gel sacks located on the nose and sides of the shark).

[chimandude]

Sharks eat dolphins And anything else they can fit in their mouths... Shark populations are increasing each year...

[ComradeSocialist]

No, shark populations aren't increasing. Reports every year conclude that upwards to 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 sharks are killed annually. There is no way a cartilaginous species of fish(ie. sharks and rays), can survive and bounce back like the Bony Fish population does.

There is too much overfishing.

[Kill666em]

What a load of shit! There numbers are increasing clown! Bet you dont even go out on the water much. Im a pro fisherman off the west Australian coast. Every year there are more and more! Even shark species showing up in areas there not usually seen!

[HamsterQueen]

Yeah, they're showing up in areas they're not usually seen because they're being forced out of the areas they usually frequent. And as a "pro-fisherman", if you had an inkling of respect for them, you'd stand up and say something about it to protect them. People like ComradeSocialist and I, and others out there, don't NEED to go out on the water to know this; we know this through something you obviously don't do according to your post: Research and genuine respect for them.

[Kill666em]

Forced out.. hmm no dickhead! There is a lack of fish stocks. Partly due to amature fishermen, not regulated pro-fishermen. And mainly due to global warming changing ocean currents and temperatures. We cant force sharks out of areas!! Maybe you need to do research mate. Fishing has been banned on sharks for years! Only licenced boats can and theres very few of them. So they are protected! Talk to me about research an respect! Its my fuking job numb nuts!

[laurensmalter]

yes, but it's generally known that indonesian fisherman go into australian waters to catch sharks for the fins.. and ur right, man can't force sharks into a different area, the ocean is too big for us to control, sharks are still the leading creatures of the ocean.. and if they are out of fish they will come closer to shore, AND if they have a chance to get a meal of u human, they'll grab that opportunity i guess..

[whoisit604]

maybe the smaller sharks, but great whites numbers are decreasing rapidly.

[Kill666em]

Thank you! Im a pro fisherman in Western Australia. And every year I see more and more. Its all the hippies that are so full of shit.

[lightiskira90]

All i can say is that they are beautifull and smart but i would never get near one, im too scared, but im also afraid of the hair clogged up in a shower drain. What im saying is that we shouldn't be mean to them. They don't attack people because the like to, they are just curious like cats... big mouthed, hairless cats XD. I admire them sooo much ^u^...but from a safe distance 0_0

[justinrothrauff]

Since the wolves of North America, humans have systematically wiped out top predators. Now we try to save them by studying them. The best solution is to leave them alone.

[cecoolc]

im glad to see all the sharks are geting killed they are the reason not many people go in sea water and sharks are the most feared thing under the water

[Varda87]

The sea doesn't belong to you. It belongs to them and you're in their territory. Don't like it? Don't go for a swim. People like you make me sick.

[siebenmann07]

Yea Varda that's right! Nobody goes to Africa in a territory of a lion! But theres peoples like cecoolc who think the Planet is only for humans!!! Stupid peoples!!!

[HamsterQueen]

I know... Even though Lions would send their lionesses in to kill the human in their territory...lazy bast*rds. *giggles* But I agree whole-heartedly; and to cecoolc: sharks are feared like snakes and tarantulas/spiders. It's completely unfounded, especially when there are more attacks by our beloved domestic pets than sharks. Just because you fear something, doesn't mean you kill it. You confront it, and get over it. Don't be a pussy, cecoolc.

[AmbarRazzleDazzle]

Ok so tell me why you had to go kill all those sharks?

they have as much of a right to live as we do.

Can you imagine someone taking you from your home and killing you and cutting you up?

well thats what your doing to the sharks.

they are living breathing creatures, The world should stop killing any kind of shark.

Im sure our grand children will not be able to see a great white, because they will have been wiped out by humans, i dont know about you, but i would like to be a marine biologist.

[natzybee]

I find sharks both beautiful and graceful. There is no RIGHT to kill any animal at all. Why should sharks be any different.? They are still gorgeous creatures...

[ESWHAYABUSA]

i grew up learning about sharks and i still love em and all we do is kill,kill,we cant be just killing every predator in the world are we just goin to let this pass by. Sharks made it threw from past to present they should not die out, people who kill sharksJUST go to hell

[earthencarnait]

not to mention if we kill all the sharks the rest of the world will crumble to the ground and every thing will die including us. you cant wip out a top predateur

[Aimshark]

extreemly boring and horrible that u killed that shark for no reason!!!!

[PeeTsiCkkProDucTioNs]

There is no good reason to kill a shark. They have a lot of purpose, they keep the ecosystem balanced. Brecca23, you are stupid, uninformed savage who will one day get what he deserves, if not in this life then in another one. I hope you burn in hell.

[makeshiteasy]

there is heapsof purpose to kill a shark cause it could kill u and it wudnt have thought about it

[Guntermench]

um dude, do you know what the chances of being attacked by a shark are?

your like 2 times more likely to win the lottery, and your 3 times more likely to die on the way to cash in your ticket then win the lottery, you you are 6 times more likely to die playing the lottery.

you are not going to get bitten by a shark, of 6 billion people only like 20 get bitten every year. and even the only 1 dies.

so shut the fuck up you dumbass.

[clwbchbabycakes]

sharks are a VERY important part of the ocean's ecosystem!!

[NickJonasLover172]

~ Just Because A Shark may eat people sometimes it still is a living creature like us and i deserves to live

[okzthen]

brecca23 you are a freaking idiot :)

[mockingbirdxxx]

Outstanding work, loved the video.

[sharker1234]

fuck you all. sharks r awesome

[nikkiboulany]

sharks should be killed for right reasons.

[PeeTsiCkkProDucTioNs]

Tell me one "right" reason to kill a shark.

[scoobyDx]

it's fun ;)?

[amysmith1202]

sharks are scary

[BellaStevenson1011]

yeah well they are.. but their still animals and need to live.

[groverss79]

Great Whites are magnificant !! We should protect all of mother natures species, before she fights back and destroys all human kind.

[brecca23]

i hate sharks and i have killed 25 in key west just by my self ... fuck all you fagot bitches who thinks thats awful .. but i do love dolfphins and other whales or fish

[applestogo]

Yes, be proud that you've killed a bunch of sharks, cause they deserve to be killed by savages such as yourself right?

Well, careful, what goes around in this world comes around, ....you might eventually pay a price for your actions.

[BellaStevenson1011]

... ah ok.

[mockingbirdxxx]

brecca23 you are the faggot bitch and a stupid little fucktard into the bargain, shoot yourself in the mouth and do the world a favour, limp dicked buffoon.

[Ormykaion]

Orcas a.k.a. KILLER whales have killed humans too. How come you don't hate them?

[bassfishinfever]

okay killing a shark thats off the coast of a public beach is ok but just killen em for no reason....not cool man

[brecca23]

dude we dont need fucking sharks .. they have no purpose in this fucking world

[bassfishinfever]

there cool looken

[inflxshn]

For Brecca: Based on your comment, we don't need you either.

[oladapo007]

Great White love's south african ocean not because the Ocean taste good, but because for hundred's of years White In South African's fed black's to the great white Shark's that's why they frequent Soth African Ocean...Lets not forget aparthied...

i would have nothing against it.. they could all die, i dont give a shit
