my granddad was friends with one back in the 80s. He told me he'd go beat on the side of this sunken ship and a few minutes later she'd come out and swim around with them. They'd always spear a few fish and feed her. The one picture they took of her is insane. She was friggen H U G E
i imagine they love the scratching for getting rid of parasites and dead skin, and i bet they have learned that humans are the best wen it comes to scritches
They seem to be pretty placid with humans. I was snorkelling on the great barrier reef and one just appeared out of nowhere not more than 2 foot away from my face looking straight at me. Huge thing. I had no idea about groupers back then. Didn't freak me out too much. I tried to grab my waterproof camera but by the time I got it to my eye it was gone
Some of them weight 400 lbs. That’s around 180 kilograms. Forget that they hunt lion fish, they’re almost the weight of ACTUAL LIONS. Quite intimidating fish. Good thing that they don’t hunt humans, they eat things that they can swallow whole.
It wants a belly rub. Had one following me while snorkeling in the Red Sea. It came up to me and turned over for a belly rub. I was shocked! He/she enjoyed the massage!
I love how it has those little yellow and black striped fishies following it like a fan club. I guess that grouper has...(puts on sunglasses) groupies. 😎😂
You can see how beautiful and friendly they are, but i feel sorry for them when the spearfish diving killed them. when they did the same thing like i just saw in this picture trying to come up to meet the human to be friends.
Huge Fish: so my wife casually suggested to switch to kelp diet and I said no. "You could shed some pounds off in just a week.. So I told her "woman, if I ever would lose even a bit of flab, I'd lose my seat in the bar, and the humans would lump me together with the rest of them mouthbreathers.. Now if you'll excuse me, I smell some crabs underneath that sand..
Are they capable of such emotion? Or simply don’t care because they’re too big to consume. I think if they could they’d swallow those divers without hesitation
That was not a friendly fish. It was deciding whether or not it wanted to eat a dinner it would have to peel first. Guess it decided wasn't worth the time.
I think the fish was just being lazy and letting the humans gather round. Usually when a fish wants to be friends it will actively seek out interaction. This guy just seems to be tryna take a nap.
Now I understand the beginning of Jaws 3D. In order for a shark to eat a grouper in one bite, just leaving the head, that's got to be a BIG shark. But, the grouper in the movie looks small even in 3D. So, it's not impressive. I remember thinking: "Ok, he ate a fish. So, what? It's a shark".
He's a grouper cause he brings everyone in close in groups with his friendliness
w comment
In German he is called _Zackenbarsch._ 😄That means as much as "jags perch".
Makes sense
xD xD xD
He's a grouper, not a loner!

The grouper must be the waiter xD
or the cougar
Grouper: "I know you're hiding food in your pockets. Feed me."
Or probably hoping. They are quite Patient but they can bite if they feel greedy.
I remember learning about how intelligent grouper’s can be a while back. Must be really fun, being so near one in close quarters.
They're so intelligent yet look so clueless.

I'd not let humans touch the fishes scales because it brakes the slime surface some fish have to protect themselves against parasites and bacteria
@@DrHydra47 they got gloves.
@@MisterEcks I’m not sure you get what he’s saying.
@@cryamistellimek9184 gloves don't break the same slime as human oils. Fish scratch on rocks and sand alll the time.
@@MisterEcks It depends on the type of gloves they have. In most cases it’s rubber, but they might not be wearing that.
Holy crap I didn’t know they got that big....that would be both amazing and terrifying
Fluffy Penguin they get bigger. Huge fish indeed.
Ya thats a smaller one ha

Hadn't realized groupers come with so many different colors and markings. This one is truly enormous!
Grouper: I dont know if I want to eat you or not I havent decided. In any case, I really want a belly rub.
Human: 😳
Jared Ellifritt
Jumans eat fishs and animals
Fishs are humans
😄 Groupers are really tame to humans though... Also they can live up to 100+ years.
I like how everyone's just sitting there, like, admiring the fish
Like kids laying on the floor watching tv lol
Such s friendly fish :)
Grouper be like: wut kinda fish are you, with giant magical air bubbles?😵😵
Fishy almost looks like me looking at new dino fossils at the museum.
:D
Free oxygen supplies
Maybe 'cause he technically doesn't have eyelids.
Seeing those beautiful grouper happily enjoying their day is incredible.

well it's better than a fucking oil tank shitting all over your porch and let you slowly suffocate
They aren't friendly, they are impartial. Cut that shit and stop tryma humanize fish like it's. Disney movie
@@IhateAlot718 well what the fuck is on that video?

@@IhateAlot718 They are tame to humans... You're just an Assh*le that's why... Groupers are not like other creatures. They can live up to 100+ years
other divers : so what you do in the ocean?
divers in video : we have a friend to visit and chill there
I love it when aqua life aren't so different from land life they love to be loved more than land life to
The grouper looks like they're gonna tell their childhood story
In the beginning, that diver takes off his mouth piece as if to say "so, you come here often?".
What an absurdly big fish. Fantastic.
I love the universal ‘sorry I don’t have anything!’ shrug
Wow that is one big friendly fish with a big heart.❤
Or its just very curious and confused
most fish are very curious.
These poor guys might go extinct, play with them but dont kill them.
Amen to that!!
Nope. Florida a out to green light hunting them. I can't wait to kill a few
Grouper : Hey hoomans do you have something to eat?
Cute googly eyes! Seems soo cuddly!
I love it when they sound like their appearance
0:49 Haha aww I agree with the diver, I love the fish too!
1:45 Yesss they pet the fish! :D To the left, very briefly.
"Go away, Boy, you bother me!" WC "Grouper" Fields!
Been getting groupers on my recommendations lately.
Love it 🥰
Was on this dive with my brother Doug. As eerie as it appears and they did just appear out of nowhere.
deep under the water, deeply thinking about his life..

That grouper be vibing
its like an english bulldog of the seas. i just wanna fuckin pet it
Diver: *Talks Gibberish*
Grouper: Huh?
sadly the world is full of assholes who would spear and kill this majestic creature !
They aren't native fish and are eating all the small reef fish hurting the eco system
"U R a neet hooman. Hang out a while
Beauifull creature .Spear fishers , keep out
Groupers like … So what you having boys ? Fresh cold ones
I realized the guy in front was literally talking to the grouper. 💛
Why this video made me remember animal detective jim carry scenes :)
He vibin tho😳
Man says something...... Grouper : what is this wierd fish talkin?
That’s a big fishie!!!! 😍
That is one big ass fish! Holy shit!
Human: "What a weird fish."
Fish: "Speak for yourself, you don't even belong here."
man is bing"chilling"
What a great face!
Feel like that's a mafia enforcer grouper 😆
In the beginning I think the grouper wanted scritches 🥰 Ok probably not, but I was waiting & hoping you’d attempt to scritch this bulbous handsome boi
Grouper: Not sure I can swallow this one whole. Better wait here for a smaller one.
It's like a giant version of my tetra.
Just chillin' with her* homies *They're all females at that size, right?
Great video my friend, interesting Mero fish
HE WAS RESTING WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO PET HIM! “Clean” which I dont even recommend because they might get sick from our bacteria in hands’ pores.
"man these two finned fish are hideous but whatever, they aren't messing with me and I'll just eat them if they do"
You can tell it is thinking;
"Would you just pet me already for cod's sake!!!!"💁♂️
Grouper: u know what?, dude the life its hard
The "fish dog!"
Very nice ... But such a shame/travesty that these wonderful animals are the targets of spearfishing ...
They are trying to hear his wisdom
Good morning Mr.Grouper!
so cute!!
He looks a lot like a super dark smallmouth bass except 10 times the size
omg watching its eye slays me, it looks so shocked. 'So....wexre here....now what? ......can, can i go?"
Absolutely awesome
That’s incredible
Super fish! :)
Are they capable of such emotion? Or simply don’t care because they’re too big to consume. I think if they could they’d swallow those divers without hesitation
no it is not friendly,just stay there look at you and thinking what taste you have if eat you...ha ha ha!!! .....amazing video!!
That was not a friendly fish. It was deciding whether or not it wanted to eat a dinner it would have to peel first. Guess it decided wasn't worth the time.
Only thing i like to pet the sea...
Curious, why are those smaller yellow fish following it?
Okay,....I misread. I thought this was Donald Trump visiting a beauty contest. Greetings from Germany.
he's a friend!
That’s a real life Relicanth. Should’ve had a pokeball on hand
