As an aside, it seems disingenuous at best to state that a White/Tiger/Oceanic Whitetip shark is not a "mindless" killer, i.e., their ecological niche all but prohibits them from having any emotional- much less moral extravagance. They remove helpless and vulnerable prey item from the ecosystem. Conspicuously, they are generalist feeders that migrate through the open ocean. ANYTHING is prey to a hungry, opportunistic shark in the open ocean. There is no such thing as "mistaken identity" there.
Sharks do not feed on humans specifically, their main food is a sea lion or a fish, and sometimes it will mistake you as a sea lion. Why do you think most people are not completely eaten by a shark, because once it bites you and realizes its made a mistake, it will let go and most people die from blood loss really. I am not saying sharks are harmless, I'm just saying if you know what you are doing, its not going to attack you mindlessly.
@kmkfiction2 he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was swimming in water that reported numerous amounts of shark encounters during the hunting season for sharks. I did not say sharks aren't dangerous, I'm saying they aren't mindless killers that movies make them out to be and Lloyd skinner, RIP, most likely was a victim of a hungry shark that thought he was a seal which splashes around like humans swimming.
You erroneously imply that human beings aren't a naturally occurring, tertiary prey item for a handful of pelagic sharks, e.g., that humans "mimic" prey by splashing around. Humans are 100% edible and a wide array of sharks have ALWAYS been known to prey on us. So I fail to see why you proffer exculpatory analysis, i.e., sharks are "dangerous" because they are generalist feeders that have occasion (albeit rarely) to realize a feeding opportunity at our expense.
I saw a documentary and the scientist said if your legs are upward like a standing position the lemon shark was less likely to bite you than if you were swimming like a fish, that being said if a shark is hungry don't tempt it.
YouTube...oahusquid.....check out the HUGE tiger shark my son and I ran into while spearfishing in Hawaii last month. Lucky for us she was just curious and not hungry.....probably the same as this video.
to all the ppl who think that the shark was going to simply bump into the ppl n let them get back into their boat i remind you that the last time i saw a shark bump some one swimming in the ocean it was a great white and it in fact came back to take the girls leg off as she was trying to get into the boat. srsly you can bearly see the shark in the 1st place how are we to know its lowered its pectoral fins untill its already nibbling off our leg? its not like we can say ok were going to the thing
Also the shark seemed more curious then looking for a meal. A shark would show much more aggression when swimming up to attack prey, such as going much faster.
@matshadwhite Except that more people are killed by cars every year than sharks. And one year more people were bitten by other people in the New York metro alone than by sharks in all of America. And more people are killed by the faulty wiring on a christmas tree every year. And every year more people are killed by dogs than by sharks. Still think that sharks consider you prey? Stay locked up in your house for the rest of your life, far away from other people, cars and animals.
@LasseMaidalPedersen but all that is preventable. anyone that would consider biting you would be pretty obvious that they are not in the right mind. faulty wiring preventable, and dogs are easy to tell what kind of mood they are in. with that said, even a shark attack is preventable and the main reason they are so rare is most people dont swim in the deep ocean compared to where we live and all those other things happen. ill take my chance up on land where i dont have to watch for a shark.
@matshadwhite Though, all those things mostly aren't preventable by you. Shark attacks are. And when you say that dogs show their mood, are you saying that sharks don't? Well, they do. Before they attack they'll warn you. How? Sharks can't growl like a dog does before telling you to go away. But it can show you that you should back off, and it does. What it does is: Lower it's pectoral fins - Charge you at high speed - Slash you with it's tail, and probably more things.
@matshadwhite You can look at the shark's territory as your house. What would you do if some ugly dude randomly came into your house or kept following you? You'd probably tell him to get away from you, but since sharks can't do that they have to rely on bodylanguage to tell you to leave it alone. Also, far most of reported shark "attacks" aren't really attacks. Despite their reputation as brainless killers they have a very well-functional brain. -
@matshadwhite - When they "attack" they mostly just defend themselves or their territory, and that because you didn't look at it's bodylanguage. People who get attacked that way were warned. That or because they're curious. As predators they're always looking for new sources of food, so many reported "attacks" are just to find out what kind of thing we humans are. Those attacks can be raking with the upper jaw teeth without removing anything from your body or by bumping into you with their nose.
You are completely wrong. Sharks are nomadic, not territorial. Most all real attacks are ambush predation events. Your "spin" has no basis in reality. How do you reconcile your fiction with what happened to Lloyd Skinner or the sailors from the USS Indianapolis? It's impossible. You are talking nonsense.
@kmkfiction2 With territory I referred as the sea. That's their home. And if most attacks are "ambush predation events", why don't they finish the job and kill the "victim"? Most attacks aren't lethal. And about Lloyd Skinner, I never heard of that, but I didn't say that sharks never attacks to feed on human, but it's very rare. Though, some species are dangerous to human.
The ocean is our home too. We and H. erectus have been harvesting its resources since time literally began. We are a known, tertiary prey item. Most attacks aren't lethal for the simple reason that humans are the only prey item of the shark that render aid to the victim. Also, there is often prompt medical aid. Search "shark takes woman's leg". That is evidence of this dynamic. Maritime disasters prove that we are prey and sharks arrive to eat us b/c its their ecol. niche.
@kmkfiction2 It's not our home. It may be a source of resources, but we belong on land. Else we would have evolved to live in or near the sea, which we haven't. Say what you want, you wont make me change my mind, just like I wont make you change yours.
Many prominent authorities theorize that coastal marine resources in Africa provided the protein to fuel the reorganization of the frontal lobe. One if our immediate precursors, Homo erectus, rafted all the way to Java- even 2mm years ago. You state that sharks attack people b/c they are "curious" as to what we are. Science proves we have been a natural part of their ecosystem- even if primarily terrestrial primates. You should study more before thinking you're right.
@kmkfiction2 I did study the sharks, as I said, I had a project about them in school (twice :P). But I guess there's more theories then. What I found was that sharks attack out of curiosity, or when provoked. Well, mostly.
Wrong on both counts. Sharks lack the cognitive capacity for abstract curiosity. Unlike higher order mammals, they do not learn by "trial and error". Nor do pelagic sharks attack people on account of being "provoked"- they are attacking people on account of metabolic need, e.g., after the USS Indianapolis sank. The circling sharks were feeding, not there to "see what the commotion was about." What did Francis Bacon write? "Opportunity makes a thief." So it is with sharks.
As an aside, you improperly assume that the statistical infrequency of a known phenomena (sharks eating humans), we should seek "other" explanations. Sharks are generalist feeders, apex predators. I don't think you grasp what a man-eating shark's ecological niche is. It is more like a crocodile. They are opportunists. It is therefore folly to talk about them making a "mistake" when attacking known, tertiary prey items (humans or Petrel birds).
@kmkfiction2 We still aren't their pray, and you wont get me convinced that we are. And yes, sharks are curious. They just got a reputation as mindless killing machines because of movies and stories. The maker of Jaws actually said after the makings that sharks aren't like that. But I think we should just stop it here, we could keep on going like this forever.
Is that so? Tell me, what reputation did sharks have prior to Jaws and even before films came to be? That's right! People were actually thrown overboard to the Oceanic Whitetips following the boats and ships and they were devoured alive. That might explain why the root word for shark is a parent to a curse. As for them not being "mindless killers", if not sharks, what animals are? They have no empathy, render no maternal care. Their ecol. niche makes them ruthless. Facts.
@kmkfiction2 Sharks don't completely eat human. And sharks aren't mindless killers, and you saying I'm wrong at that proves that you got no idea of what you're talking about. I wont reply anymore, as discussing this with you is pointless. In a documentary I saw the other day, a guy is in this transparent box with a great white, and guess what? It shows interest, and it takes a closer look at him, but nothing more. Then they put it's natural bait in the box, and it swims against the box to get it
Yes they do- Lloyd Skinner was just completely eaten off Fish Hoek and so was that abalone diver in Australia and so were several people of Port St. Johns in the last two years. You cite to hokey experiments in baited conditions that have no relevance to the threshold issue. Been a good chat. Take care.
This is what I call a very free interpretation. First of all: The shark is no tiger shark. A tiger shark would not be around with so many people in the water. They are very elusive. The shark is some kind of reef shark and it does not attack the swimmer at all. It merely investigates the swimmer, which is a normal sharkbehaviour. The dolphins does not confront the shark. They are probably waiting to be fed. The swimmer will more likely get bitten by the dolphins in this situation.
you "dolphins are just as dangerous as sharks" people are hilarious and delusional. Dolphins are wild animals...obviously they arent the family pet, but would you rather have your child swim in the water with dolphins or sharks present? Try not to be so delusional.
looks like it could have just be a coincidence, the dolphin swimming down could've just spooked the shark, if the dolphin swam the otherway the shark probably wouldve kept going
Fantastic - we're completely (usually) unaware of what is right infront of us. Sharks are truly beautiful creatures, as are dolphins. We forget when we venture into the sea we are in their territory. Great footage though.
hey fuck u man i was like 6! i remeber walkin past some german ppl they pointed to my feet, then i suddenly heard techno music n bein surrounded by eastern europiens with glowsticks n whistles, n a mini rave just happened outta nowhere! i was ther god for half n hour or so!... (true story!)
A similar incident happend in New Zealand when a young family were swimming a few yards off the beach and a couple of dolphins started swimming in circles around them kinda aggressively and the family were scared by the dolphins behaviour until later a man told them that a huge Great White was also circling them a little further out.
Most blacks can't swim I think it has something with bone structure and their wider nostrils which are ape like. The majority are lazy and would lay around and only get food when it is needed. There is no modern african civilization. Whites on the other hand have sailed the earth conquering sorta like dolphins and killer whales who range thousands of miles. Blacks have a gene called a thrifty gene whites don't it's a feast or famine gene whites can't last long without food blacks can
"clearly protecting this woman from maybe a shark bite. We'll never know." You're right. We'll never know. I like dolphins fine, but the likelihood that it's intention was saving anyone is about zero. You gotta love anthropomorphic posters on Youtube.
ndiver5 u must be a terrible marine biologist.yes you are correct its not a tiger shark it a grey reef.But coming from an ichthyologist you can look that word up. A sharks acting rigid and nervous while arching its back is defensive attack behavior not investigative attack behavior.And we all know well maybe you dont how curious sharks test an object to see what it is.
This video says bullshit. It was not an attack (the shark is not nervous, not bent, the pectoral fins are horizontal), he is just a little bit curious. AND IT'S NOT A TIGER SHARK !!! Just a young grey shark (species which is not agressive)
sharks often follow dolphins because this gives them a good opportunity to find some prey so this situation isn't as extraordinary as it seems... but it is still amazing that the dolphins protected the woman even though they have no reason to help
and JUST A PART of the Japanese really supports whaling and dolphin slaughters
It is clear that dolphins, ruler of the ocean" care about all people (except the Japanese). Not only that, but sharks know by now that dolphins can kick the crap out of them (literally)
omg YAAY FOR DOLPHINS!!! although i still refused to go swim with them when i went to the Bahamas, only i went to Paradise Island and my parents and sister went and swam with them, i was too scared, clearly from something like this although the person is fine.... I HAVE A PHOBIA OF SHARKS and FISH anything that realise on water to live and DEEP WATER THAT I CANT SEE THE BOTTOM IN IT O_O!!!!!
hahaha man in that kind of time frame if your not beside the person and not in a position that you can easily do something to prevent it and not withstanding the shock of it all there aint nothing that camera man couldve done to help that lady
A moron that likes great entertainment. If I was going to lose my life to a shark, I'd want it on camera for millions of youtube viewers to watch in amazement for as long as the internet stays alive.
But at as an avid Diver I know that Sharks, Do a taste test. If they are uncertain of something , they bite and decide if it is prey. Usually humans are bitten and disregarded be cause we are bony and not fishy tasting. He definitely looks like he was coming in for an attack. God bless the dolphin. And as for the camera man, He probably could not have surfaced quickly enough to stop it. and may not have realized what was going on until it was over. He didn't set the stage Okay. Shark. .Action!
it can't be certain either way. i watched a special on dolphins and it showed where on several different occasions they literally chased sharks away from surfers and acted as guardians for swimmers. it says they are extremely intelligent mammals. they might actually have a since of morality.. lol i just think they are super curious
that is some amazing footage, i had to listen close a couple of times but you can hear the dolphin squeeling or whatever right before the shark turns, really enjoyed watching, thank god the woman wasn't injured!!
actually, sharks only attack humans when they are threatened or starving. yes, some sharks do just attack to attack but most don't. they have never seen a human before so they don't know what the human will do.
That's how they're pertrayed to be, but really, when you swim in the ocean, that's the sharks home and territory. Sharks don't know much about humans and some sharks feel frightened, or in danger. We are actually killing a lot more sharks then they are us.
Hi, my name's Bruce.... Hi, my name's Dory. I've never eaten a fish!..... Well done Dory, You're an inspiration to us all! Bye Dory. Ily Finding Nemo <3
it's a shame that sharks are made out to be so bad. Humans are much more likely to kill sharks than the other way round. Besides it's only nature. a sharks gotta live
As an aside, it seems disingenuous at best to state that a White/Tiger/Oceanic Whitetip shark is not a "mindless" killer, i.e., their ecological niche all but prohibits them from having any emotional- much less moral extravagance.

A similar incident happend in New Zealand when a young family were swimming a few yards off the beach and a couple of dolphins started swimming in circles around them kinda aggressively and the family were scared by the dolphins behaviour until later a man told them that a huge Great White was also circling them a little further out.

Most blacks can't swim I think it has something with bone structure and their wider nostrils which are ape like. The majority are lazy and would lay around and only get food when it is needed. There is no modern african civilization. Whites on the other hand have sailed the earth conquering sorta like dolphins and killer whales who range thousands of miles. Blacks have a gene called a thrifty gene whites don't it's a feast or famine gene whites can't last long without food blacks can

ndiver5 u must be a terrible marine biologist.yes you are correct its not a tiger shark it a grey reef.But coming from an ichthyologist you can look that word up. A sharks acting rigid and nervous while arching its back is defensive attack behavior not investigative attack behavior.And we all know well maybe you dont how curious sharks test an object to see what it is.

sharks often follow dolphins because this gives them a good opportunity to find some prey so this situation isn't as extraordinary as it seems... but it is still amazing that the dolphins protected the woman even though they have no reason to help

But at as an avid Diver I know that Sharks, Do a taste test. If they are uncertain of something , they bite and decide if it is prey. Usually humans are bitten and disregarded be cause we are bony and not fishy tasting. He definitely looks like he was coming in for an attack. God bless the dolphin. And as for the camera man, He probably could not have surfaced quickly enough to stop it. and may not have realized what was going on until it was over. He didn't set the stage Okay. Shark. .Action!

How can you like sharks ?

ricardosuper08 2 years ago
actually, sharks only attack humans when they are threatened or starving. yes, some sharks do just attack to attack but most don't. they have never seen a human before so they don't know what the human will do.
narutofoxchibi 2 years ago 3
That's how they're pertrayed to be, but really, when you swim in the ocean, that's the sharks home and territory. Sharks don't know much about humans and some sharks feel frightened, or in danger. We are actually killing a lot more sharks then they are us.

the only reason the shark would attack is because she looks like a fish.
you have a higher possiblity of being striked by lightnening then attacked by a shark
redheademma 2 years ago
sharks often get that close to people but they will never know about because they won't notice the shark.
And if there is nothing like bait in the water nothing would have happened.
I read in a book by peter benchly that he dived with sharks more than several hundred times.
And he got never seriously attacked or injured.
But once he dived with dolphins, one of them charged at him and litterally threw him out of the water which caused several wounds.
dolphins=good and sharks=bad is a cliché
