Shark Week- Tiger Sharks

[BloodKid13]

hhow could it have blinked if sharks dont ave eyelids, they roll them back...?

[goldengreaser]

They rub against you and it'll tear off skin, happened in Hawk's Harbour by SE Hinton.

[daspoon456]

she blinked, i think i frightened her......yeah i do that all the time when i get scared too.

[kevin1284546]

at least he just tapped it on the head instead of punching it on the snout

[Myrmidon510]

Seriously whatever they pay this guy, ITS NOT ENOUGH !!!

[jimmydee85]

What happened to the dude who was wearing that suit of armor...?!?

[MrNinjaKiwi13]

She blinked... he can now say i made a shark flinch

[gombis666]

I love love love tiger sharks!

[JuggaCarl]

Oh god I always blink when I get frightened, don't you just hate it?

[TheDrawer4life]

Heh I Just Realized If People Throw Trash In The Ocean Tiger Sharks Will Most Likely eat It Lol

[Courty56]

"She blinked. I think I frightened her." hahaha

[killersnake117]

that guy is wearing pink WTF

[jakegamesnake]

@killersnake117 lol so?

[Courty56]

crazy muddafucka

[ryrygabour12]

Jaws Again

Motherfuckin gay fish

[JackKangaroo1]

Only a tiny number of shark species kill people? Okay, if you count Great Whites, Tiger Sharks, Leopard Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Bull Sharks, Mako Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Thresher Sharks and a few others as a "tiny number." Why are these guys always trying to convince us of how harmless sharks are? Yes, you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than being eaten by a shark---IF YOU NEVER GO IN THE WATER. Swim in shark infested waters, however, and the odds change dramatically.

[jonser2008]

@JackKangaroo1 There are 0 recorded fatalities due to leopard, lemon or hammerhead sharks. Attacks yes, but not fatal attacks. Mako sharks only 2 recorded fatalities. Granted the records are somewhat incomplete, but nevertheless out of the 350+ shark species, 2 dozen or so have attacked humans without provocation. Most shark attacks are not fatal. Sharks are critical to ecosystems and 60% of the global shark population is gone. Dead.

Sharks have more to fear from us then we do them

[JackKangaroo1]

@jonser2008 The chances of being killed by sharks is far less than in, let's say, an auto accident, but instilling a false sense of security in people in shark-infested waters is dangerous. The first shark fatality in the U.S.A. was from a hammerhead off Montauk Point in the 1700s. Int. Shark Attack File kept @ Univ. of Florida shows hundreds of unprovoked shark attacks with over 130 fatalities and hundreds of life-altering injuries, as with the girl who lost an arm while surfing in Hawaii.

[JackKangaroo1]

@jonser2008 I would add that I don't think of sharks as being 'evil' but they are definitely dangerous and I too deplore the wanton destruction of them in large numbers which is certainly disruptive to Oceanic ecosystems. But people should be aware of the potential for a gruesome death or disfiguring injury if they swim in waters inhabited by predatory fish. I believe the dangers have been played down for economic reasons by the tourism industry and this puts people's lives in jeopardy.

[jonser2008]

@JackKangaroo1 You're right, sharks are potentially dangerous. People should respect all marine life, not just sharks, as many creatures can be dangerous. All I'm saying is that for far too long, sharks have in fact been treated as if they were 'evil'. This is part of the reason why so many species are nearly extinct.

Hammerheads? I stand corrected, although I would like to know your source. I have been unable to locate the incident anywhere.

[bree13paranormal]

THEY CAN SEE IM NOT WORTH ATTACKING.. IM JUST TO SCRAWNY  :)

[ultimatefisho]

"but these sharks can see im not worth it, im just too scrawny"...on the other hand, you do look like a seal *CHOMP*

[imahUnTeR0842]

if i sae a great white the first thing i would do is swim to the surface and scream to the boat SPEAR GUN NOWWWW

[idlenessss]

Sharks are intelligent for fish...but that really isn't saying much...They obviously have no sense of ethics....They will eat whatever they want, and sometimes thats humans. You cant 'misunderstand' a creature that is about as intelligent as a zombie. You cant blame them for doing what they are programmed to do (since this would imply some sort of sentience), but I dont feel any sympathy for them if they die either because they obviously lack sentience.

[shawngamble]

Nigel: *stands on tiger shark's head and starts thinking "Yeah, do somethin', ya bloody overgrown junkyard!"*

[extinctbear]

ah nigel marven.....he's a nice guy :)

[littlejay123]

with the last line said, no fat guy should ever swim in open ocean

[MrHappyTruth]

@littlejay123 Why do you think I avoid it? I've been eating gravy since I was a toddler, if a shark bit me, I might bleed some of my hard-earned gravy out into the open sea and that my friend would be an incredible waste.

[chaosopher23]

@littlejay123 Fat guys might have it better, because Greenpeace will keep the whaling fleets away from them.

[MrHappyTruth]

Open ocean dives are incredibly scary.

[koan51]

abu abdul- we met surprinsingly at Elphinstone/Red Sea such a guy...a plain cry to inform my son banished him...

[cabbage0dusk]

Tiger shark soup, omnomnomnom

[Amolap47]

Pink Goggles For The Win.

[Rassamdul]

you all think you are experts on sharks dont ye? :) lol

[Zooni2]

I think the man in pink needs to re-read the shark research papers. Great whites do a test bite and spit out anything that doesn't taste like seal blubber or fish. Tiger sharks will eat anything, you your nieghbour, your dog, dead cows you name it.

[Zooni2]

What is the first thing a dog owner says after a their dog bites you. I don't know why he did that he has never done that before.

Answer:

Animals bite because it's the natural thing for them to do. You are as good as any other food out there and you are not their life partner.

[MrDenouement]

Whats with the pink mask?

[aswesee]

The reason y sharks dont often eat us is cuz we taste bad and smell even worse with deodorants, soaps, and wetsuits make us not smell like a meal but like chemicals

[dontbelivethehype420]

well then there must be drug addict sharks cuz no matter what stats say , you run a risk of getting attacked , it may not be a high risk , but if bitten you will bleed to death in seconds or minutes so , this is one of those airplane things , you more likly to get in a car crash then a plane , crash yet in a plane there isnt much chance of surviving

[dontbelivethehype420]

lol and as the vid said the tiger shark has eaten a suit of armor so i doubt that soap would deter it

[playwitFiire]

i would be so afraid

[ForEverCocaine]

Haha. Cocaine swimming in water.

[alekool83]

Afro man =-) searching the Megalodon

[cashman554]

nice pink goggles

[narutofan966]

I cant imagine what its like to blue water dive

Just in the open ocean like that, with no visible bottom

Must be a bit scary, but so cool. Specially when theres sharks around :]

[habskickass29]

What a fuckin idiot

[ingonumb]

haha hope you are right ^^

[ulragi]

Jaws simply is the reason why I will never go into the sea

[TheBlueRose7]

Beautiful Tiger, really a lot of contrast in the coloring.

[moronchicken]

Shark knows exactly what it's doing when it bites you. You are not it's first choice, but when HUNGRY, you're done.

[planetvenus17]

I LOVE TIGER SHARKS!!!! so so beautiful

[carliov]

then ur gonna love when they take a bite out of u. beautiful moment. lol jk. D:

[planetvenus17]

yea i wouldnt mind that much

[BugMagnet]

There is a little mistake on my opinion.

There are actually just a little percentage of sharks that are ABLE to kill people and no shark in the world would eat a person knowingly.

but like said in the vid they can accidently get to the wrong place in the wrong time

[BugMagnet]

@kmkfiction2 Ah and I assume you are a great expert on sharks because you saw all the jaws movies and deep blue sea?

You made no sigle clear point of information

[kmkfiction2]

I am a great expert on sharks.

Do you subscribe to "mistaken identity" theory?

[BugMagnet]

@kmkfiction2 I would subscibe nothing that can not be mathematically proven.

but this theory seems at least plausible in most cases while the "big bad monster fish" theory has been proven wrong about 1 mio times

But despite my opinion I would not dare to forecast the actions of an animal

[kmkfiction2]

The "mistaken identity" theory is not subject to the scientific method- it is faulty conjecture. As for the "big bad monster fish" theory, are not White and Tiger sharks are menacingly frightening towards their prey? It seems illogical u would not "dare forecast the actions of an animal" considering that sharks eating humans after maritime disasters is as predicatble as 1, 2, 3. It is a dispassionate function of their ecological niche. These sharks have ALWAYS been known to eat humans. F-a-c-t.

[BugMagnet]

@kmkfiction2

Yes of course it is a fact that they always eat humans when given the possibility as well as it was a fact that the jews caused the black death which has killed almost half of europe blablabla

But it is a real fact that you should rather worry about bad weather than about sharks because this is much more likely to be a danger to your life.

And with maritime disasters you mean the three out of 10000 ones when sharks have actually been seen.

[kmkfiction2]

Maybe there aren't a lot of sharks in Germany other than Swedish Fish at the store, but here on the coast of CA- they actually eat people. Our family vet was attacked and killed by a White shark. Maybe you can comfort their family with your "bad weather" baloney. LOL

[BugMagnet]

@kmkfiction2 Ah so living close to the shore makes you an expert on marine biology?

Most people dying from the so called "shar attacks" die from the loss of blood and not because they got entirely eaten.

If you were right and sharks actually did hunt humans they would kill thousands of us every year and not just a dozen.

And as long there are people who are stupid enough to swim through chum-clouds etc there always will be accidents.-

[kmkfiction2]

If someone dies from a "so called" shark attack, it is a result of a predation event. As an aside, I am right that sharks that do kill people are hunting them. Your conclusion extrapolated from the statistical data is non sequitur. Taken to its illogical conclusion, because White sharks rarely eat Petrel birds, when they do attack & eat them, "they weren't actually hunting them because they could eat thousands if they wanted to." Brilliant sociobiological analysis!

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2 the scenario for sharks eating humans vary for example : in ww2 when a ships got sank of course there would be a lot of blood in the water so shark eating frenzy would awaken

[kmkfiction2]

@kevinyuni

In what sense? In your opinion, were the sharks attracted to the USS Indianapolis "out to eat" the humans or were they...drawn to the blood and commotion and, uh, "unintentionally relapsed" into a "shark eating frenzy"?

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2  usually blood attracks sharks but i would say thats vibration in the water of prey, humans in destress will attrack them, and no sharks are not out to eat us that was the case there would be alot of more shark attacks

[kmkfiction2]

@kevinyuni

So you are suggesting that the hundreds of sharks purportedly drawn to the sinking USS Indianapolis during WWII were not "out to get" the humans they were documented to attack and consume? I see.

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2 try put a healthy fish in the water with sharks, then put a bleeding one in and see what happens and tell me later

[kmkfiction2]

@kevinyuni

Prey is prey, human or fish. You see? We do agree.

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2 yes i agree BUT come on look a the diferent circunstances

[kmkfiction2]

@kevinyuni

Sharks are opportunisitc predators. They know what people are and will attack and eat them at maritime disasters that do not involve any blood in the water, e.g., Haitian immigrants in Florida straits on or around 5/04/07. People want to make special rules for sharks, as if, in the end, they make "mistakes" when they eat people. They are just being sharks. People want sharks to be seen as something "misunderstood". Why is that?

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2 what do people do when in the water splash=vibration, BUT  at the end they are just sharks,

[kmkfiction2]

@kevinyuni

Is it fair to say that if humans/H. erectus and sharks have been competitors along the coastline for over 1,000,000 years, that sharks can quickly identify the "signature" splashing/vibrations caused by a human, i.e., as opposed to a struggling fish? What do you think.

[kevinyuni]

@kmkfiction2 doesnt have to be human anything splashing in the water in trouble, its fair lunch

[kevinyuni]

@BugMagnet you are totally right if sharks were out to eat us a lot of human bait in the water,but in the other hand i fish and harpoon a lot of them yearly  LEGAL size of couse, most of shark attacks are accidental example; a surfer looks like a juice seal from the bottom

[BugMagnet]

@kevinyuni I don't mean any offence but as far as i'm aware, almost every shark species declined about 80% some even 95% in the las 15 years(!)

And the only reason why killing them is still legal is the japanese and chinese boykotting any progress in fishery legislation.

AND another point is that the maledives for example banned shark fishing in their waters and the reason was: to get mor money out of fishery.

sounds paradox but for every pound shark they lost they gained 3 pounds of tuna

[kevinyuni]

@BugMagnet yeah but its like anything and everything ,it has a lot to do with the negligent fishing of some species, for instance i was watching on t.v how the japanese fishing boats were cutting the fins on sharks and tossing the rest back in the water thats wasteful , but here in california they got be legal size, what i kill i will eat no waste, i also practice catch/release

[BugMagnet]

@kevinyuni From my point of view even catch and release is no ideal solution but still a huge improvent compared to sensless slaughtering.

And another aspect is that sharks grow slowly. hence they accumulate huge amounts of methyl-mercury since they are like the garbage cans of the ocean.

which means eating them means the consumption of a poison which slowly inflicts damage to the nerve system.

[kevinyuni]

@BugMagnet right not a solution BUT better than being wasteful, and on the meat eating deal i only eat it once a month, besides anything you eat now a days is polluted ,even vegetables

[BugMagnet]

@kevinyuni being wasteful is a real crime in this case, agreed.

but there is a difference between slightly higher concentrations of sodium and nitrate in vegetables which can be compared to a glass of beer per day and methyl mercury which is the strongest organic poison known to science.

And the half.life of this poison is 60 days which means if a 80kg person eats 0,3kg of shark meat it takes an entire year until the concentration of MeHg gets below the toxic level.

[kevinyuni]

@BugMagnet yes it is the way some fisheries do their bussines, they use drag nets which kills everything, and on the vegetables deal there are worse stuff than that for example; that desease that you get when vegetables are irrigated with sewer water if forgot the name

[msharvell]

wow..this guy has balls! stepping on a shark's head like it's just a dog rubbing up against his leg or something! it's a good thing it wasn't "really interested" in him

[halfofme]

What is this guy on about? He was standing next to a guy that got his entire calf ripped off!
