Shark repellent experiment - Oceans - BBC

[colierox1217]

Let's just hope this doesn't cause more people to go hunting for sharks to use in their repellent. Think about it. If this stuff ever goes commercial, companies will be established just to hunt sharks to use their dead bodies. shark hunting will only increase, causing sharks to be in more danger of becoming extinct than they already are.

[xssx93]

@colierox1217 actually im pretty sure there will be a way of producing this stuff synthetically ^^, wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't.

[usmcoth]

Now why didn't they show the failed tests? How are we supposed to know if the guy didn't just pass gas. 7 non-great whites. What kind of test was that?

[TheREALbpk]

1:15...SHARKS EVERYWHERE.....ALL AROUND US hahah that was pretty funny

[haierdell]

Everybody knows Batman has the best shark repellent. It repels the shark and causes it to blow up.

[CherokeeWolf4HIM]

i want some of that stuff.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

Should just ask Adam West for the bat shark repellent.

[guitarsly111]

and here we going again, controlling biodiversity... 'sigh'

[m0j0101]

so if repellent is administered next to net, we can have less shark deaths?

[jacobbobcorn]

the entire thing was staged i supposed. i mean, they didnt really need to have the humans as their first test. it wouldve been too risky. 

[mrsunseeker]

@jacobbobcorn i don't think they were at anytime implying the humans were in danger here. All they were doing is releasing the repellent and seeing if they would stop eating the food in the water.

[ailm96094]

just apply directly to the for-head

[itscook56]

pretty cool but i liv in san clemente go surfing ever day shark sightingi still go out y be scared ????

[GateMessenger]

Hmm, a sunscreen that smells like dead rotting sharks, how interesting. They should also try it on relatives to see if it repels them too.

[Hemulen40]

BP oil is a good shark repellent. It actually repels ALL water wildlife . & kills it . 

[gundrag000]

shark vs zombie.

shark wins. this is a common sense.

[BonjourGorgeous]

@gundrag000 lol, where the hell did that come from??

[gundrag000]

@BonjourGorgeous from your dick head

[BonjourGorgeous]

@gundrag000 riiight?? uve got REAL things to b scared about kid. like ur dad touching u in ways ull only understand when u hit ur early twenties. lol!

[michaelwatchman]

"Robin... ahhhh... hand me the bat shark repellent spray!"

[gundrag000]

in these days, here is no even a good documentary. make some show or documentary like the Einstein and Eddington BBC.

and to watch this show " Shark repellent experiment - Oceans - " is really waste of time. here was so many documentaries about shark. it is enough. Just stop to make even a documentary or show about shark.

[RealMonstrosities]

@Timeofflux "...too much David Attenborough,"

Does not compute.

[DarkLion1989]

@Timeofflux is that supposed to be an insult

i am the one that used that word to discribe humens, so i won´t be offended by it

and you to are a parasite

by the way

"Up Humans...down nature worshiping assholes"

no one here "worships" nature and even if there is one here who does, that still dosen´t make him an asshole

and humans are neither up nor down, they just are

its rather sad that people like you, who seem to have no intelligence at all still exist today

[shflbm]

just a thought :( I hope people don't start killing sharks solely to get dead shark tissue... to repel sharks... eep

[mussskitz]

I think videos like this, that give you a more whole representation of the show (longer video clips) are more enjoyable to watch as opposed to some of the other videos released by BBC where they would cut off right in the middle (too short), it was pushing my to unsubscribe. I hope they keep posting these longer vids

[gundrag000]

I think here is another good idea. make documentary or show about ghost. I think ghost or religion is the one of the sciences. and discovery channel is making some show or documentary about ghost and religion. wow shit.

[aero2525]

@Timeofflux Time, you must be either illiterate or straight up dumb for missing his point. Its not the animal bear hes talking about but 'bear' in the other definition of it.

[Viva711711]

@Timeofflux Humans are animals. Not miracles.

[RussBrit10]

Don't like the way they do this. 'Shark Chaos!' not exactly love calm down.

[DarkLion1989]

@Timeofflux "its the humans that are administering shark repellent, not the other way around" because sharks aren´t afraid of humans

and you are the one how doesn´t see (or just doesn´t want to belive) how tiny and unimportant you are

we aren´t the universe made aware of itself, we rather act like parasites

[quosmo1]

@DarkLion1989 "" "its the humans that are administering shark repellent, not the other way around" because sharks aren´t afraid of humans ""

well, sharks kind of do repel humans : with lots of big teeth :)) i would say im quite repelled by sharks and im human :p

[DarkLion1989]

@quosmo1 yeah, but you get what i mean, don´t you? ; )

sharks don´t fear humans and they don´t need to invent anything against them

[quosmo1]

@DarkLion1989 yeah i get it, was just being a smartass : anyway they should fear humans! but they have been around a lot longer than us (in evolutionary terms) so its not inherit in their nature ...

[DarkLion1989]

@quosmo1 why should the fear humans?

i mean, ofcours, humans hunt them and all that, but its not the humans the should fear but the ships

humans themselfs are completly helpless

oh, and i dont think it has anything to do with them existig longer than us

humans are just not as activ in water (because they can´t)

[DarkLion1989]

@Timeofflux first of, thats ridiculous

and no, i´m not a rabbit

humans just aren´t as great as you think

(they are rather "smal" actually)

and they are extremely fragile

and since they do not bear any importance, they shouldn´t act so often and much like they do have any

[Pjomell]

Did anyone else notice her nose-ring and earrings switched sides in the shot at 0:22? Video editor flipped it for some reason in that shot. Funny.

Awesome video though. It was incredible how well the repellent worked.

[RobbieWright]

@Pjomell You are right, the editor did flip the shot, it would of be for the screen direction, in the original shot she would be looking from right to left and they flipped it so she would be looking left to right to match the other shots.

[DarkLion1989]

@Timeofflux now why would i be a rabbit?

[7093948]

Protect sharks? Where do you get dead shark extract, does it means you have to kill one to get it?

[DarkLion1989]

@7093948 sharks die of age too, you know ; )

[7093948]

@DarkLion1989 yeah i know, but how likely are you going to find enough dead sharks to harvest and mass produce the repellent?

[DarkLion1989]

@7093948 well, first, i don´t think you´ll be able to buy it in a store (at least not for the next few years)

and there should be quite a few in zoos and oceanariums each year

but the real question is, if they might be able to produce it synthetic when they knew which exact compounds its made of

[chrysillo]

It could be awesome if they could produce it synthetically or something and add it to surf board's wax =P

[zythepsarian]

@chrysillo haha thatd be a good invention

[MyCarla27]

Ther swimming the Sharks for the Chinees !!

Nice Shark soep:))

[myshoescramp]

it's a good thing sharks have such a good sense of smell, but really this is just fantastic.

[vxl788]

@Timeofflux Hope you had yours, I had mine. ;)

[AttaKru]

childish and lame video including the "actors" ... but the pictures are amazing,

very good shots about the sharks and fish

[DarkLion1989]

@Timeofflux humans aren´t the crown of creation, they are simply a part of the animalworld (yes, humans are animals)

humans take themself as kings, but they aren´t that great and they lost a lot of their abilitys

and how rediculous, the do that to "protect the shark"?

a shark dosen´t need protection, its not like they are gonna die if humans wouldend do that, its only for the Protection of humans

[vxl788]

@Timeofflux lol :D You don't even know if I actually am a German or if I just live here because I work here... but keep on being personal, disqualifying yourself more and more. I'm enjoying that quite a bit. ;)

[digitalportugal]

She is cute :)

[cemailumeu]

protect sharks by using a product obtained by killing sharks.

nice.

[DarkLion1989]

@cemailumeu you know, sharks die even when humans dont kill them ; )

[Viva711711]

@cemailumeu I thought of that as well. Maybe a synthetic version can be developed.

[littlegalah]

Good doco, I liked it.

Keep them comming

[vxl788]

@Timeofflux Hm... just as I said, you're bad at maths I guess.. :)

[andopolis]

SRS BSNS!

[renniealba]

no it was not the first. the discovery channel produced an episode for shark week that did the same about a year ago, using a similar product.

it is still a good piece.

[vxl788]

6 billion humans on earth - how many sharks are still left? Go do your maths first, then try to comment again (and use some proper register next time)...

[RealMonstrosities]

@Timeofflux What are you on about? Everyone likes sharks far more than they do humans. I see humans all the time all over the place, sharks less so.

[Rikamonjaro]

@RealMonstrosities Lol too true :)

[Wh47n0w1517]

That repellent looks to be great stuff..... =)

[MrNosaj1970]

i would never....ever....

[Pys3n]

cool



[Mr666DIE666]

Amaizing!
