Thanks for watching friends! Have you see this recent video showing some of the largest sharks I've filmed in California so far? th-cam.com/video/KEr-ANmtEgk/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/GRqY95tfPik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e32ytJ2GdMW23m7s This is some old footage from Italy showing Thresher shark being consumed by a large Great White in the Adriatic near Rimini.
We have quite a few threshers here in the UK and they can be seen when we are making our way out to Lundy to snorkel. Quite stunning with those long tails.
I absolutely adore thresher sharks! Because of their agility, I didn’t consider them to be prey frequently for White Sharks, so this footage was super cool to see.
Crazy! I surf, dive, and spearfish in many of the areas I see you film. Incredible to think how often we interact with sharks yet are unaware of their presence. Love seeing content like this, just goes to show how intentional and intelligent they are
Your work in sharks is bringing so much new previously unknown knowledge about sharks to the world, and your attention to detail and ability to follow bread crums and investigate is genius level, your doing an outstanding job and I love your videos, keep up the outstanding work my brother 🙏
New to your channel. Your last video was my first and I made a comment about how I used to be a shark fisherman in SoCal until 2001. The sharks I was always fishing for were Threshers. They are also very close to shore like several other shark species and I have also seen them breach. They say the top portion of a Thresher sharks tail is equivalent to 1 - 1½ the length of its body. Best season to see Threshers are July and August and even into early Sept Amazing content bro. Love what you're doing. Absolutely awesome!!
Many thanks for making this videos. There are so many people who are fascinated by great white sharks and you give them the opportunity to see sharks as they really are. Thank you
Amazing footage as always. Thank you so much for your passion and exploration of Great White sharks and other marine life! It is a privilege to be able to see the information and footage you have gathered!
Stunning visuals and information as always. I wouldn't have guessed Threshers would be on the menu but your research is opening up so much data to everyone . That image of a Great White with entrails just streaming along is something else 😮❤.
I have been a subscriber to your channel for some time. I absolutely love your videos. I just recently moved to California. I have been in love with Great Whites since 7th grade, so I try not to miss any of your videos, hoping someday I'll see you at the beach! Keep up the awesome work. Forever one of your biggest fans!
thanks for great videos! in my humble opinion breaching of pray cratures is like a diner bells for the great whites, as seen in many ocasions with many more predators
Thank you Carlos, your videos have the ability to transport the audience into the beautiful marine scenes you present us with. You sir have talent and a tremendous amount of patience! 🌟
I’m happily waiting for the day you have enough footage to make a video focused on common threshers, the most likely species in these clips given its closer distance to shore. My fav animal on earth.
I no longer go shark fishing. I gave it up in 2001. Too much of an appreciation for these creatures but Threshers were always my main focus. They make for great cuisine.
Yes that is almost certainly a barracuda. I've caught enough of them in my life to know that wasn't a yellow tail😂. That fish isn't even the same body style as a yellow tail
I got to see a cormorant Catch a baby Leopard shark about 50 yards from the beach. It popped up right next to me as I was sitting on my surfboaed. He wrestled it to the beach after 30 minutes of trying to kill it in the surf. As I got out of the water I watched the cormorant flip the shark into it's mouth head first and swallow it whole! The tail was sticking out from it's beek! It was pretty cool watching it all unfold as I was catching waves and paddling back out.
Makes sense that they are constantly chasing, eating, observing, & digesting. Learning what food is filling and what food isn’t. Learning how to out maneuver the faster shark, sometimes means out lasting their stamina. Stalking perhaps??? Idk but VERY interesting!
when you show the yellow tail nibbling at the great white's tail, i wonder if there could have been one of those copepod's. i have seen them on the dorsal fins of the great whites, but can't recall if i've seen them on the tail.
I think it indicates a whole lot about a shark's awareness of its environment if it is consuming specific food items in a specific way to mitigate a (apparently?) known threat. Their mouths are capable of such destructive force... but also accurate and delicate enough to eat rays head first and stop before swallowing the tail. Also, they had no guidance or instruction in this ability... only instinct and practice. They are truly magnificent creatures.
I was surfing at Topanga a couple years ago and I saw a thresher come up out of the water to investigate a large piece of wood that was floating on the surface. The thresher nosed it at first, but then came up over the top of it kind of slapping the wood with it's tail. The shark was only 20'-30' feet from us.
i live in Half Moon Bay California. I made the mistake of going swimming with my friends at night at the Jeti next to Princeton Harbor. I was standing in water about chest high pretty far from shore. Not even 10 minutes in I felt a hard bump and sandpaper skin. It then came to the surface and bumped me again and i felt the power it nearly knocked the wind out of me. It then turned around 50 yards away and i could see the dorsal fin coming at me fast. I ran as fast as I could and it got within 3 feet of me before I climbed onto the rock. I have never been in the ocean since. I used to be a water baby. Always in the ocean and now I am so scared. It was the vulnerability and the power I felt from the Great White. I went to therapy as I could not sleep. That was 20 years ago and I still have never gotten into the ocean. It gives me nightmares. When you are young you think you are invincible. That shark proved that I am so vulnerable and not invincible. I'm sure it is safe to go back in but I cant bring myself to go in. I relive that day every time I go near the beach. I'm not a person that scares easily but almost getting eaten alive scares the hell out of me.
In South Africa, those 'air jaws' white sharks seem to be fond of smoothhound sharks (a small shark about the size of the leopard shark); here in NorCal, we call them 'sand or mud' sharks. I know from old literature that smoothhounds are on the menu as well as soupfins and sevengills, both adult and pups (only fair, I guess: sevengills contribute to mortality of white shark pups as well, according to the books by Canadian Marine Biologist Rick Martin-RIP, my friend). As for bat rays, Ralph Collier had necropsied some large white sharks caught as 'by catch' or harpooned by swordfish hunters, and found that, in addition to multiple pinnipeds in their bellies, their jaws were just riddled with bat ray spines, some quite fresh. Apparently they are as enthusiastic ray eaters as large hammerheads are. In fact, smaller sharks seem to be the 'go to' meal for these younger white sharks. You've filmed 'curious' white sharks approach halibut fishermen, but never 'press in' too aggressively. In older Y/T vids, there was a kayak fisherman who filmed himself catching leopard sharks and had them on a stringer in the water (leos make good eating if you 'bleed them', and the sharks on the stringer had either had their throats cut or were gutted)--a subadult white shark came right up and tried to make a meal out of those sharks, and it was very persistent.
what if this is the reason the GW learned to breach, too ? GW's might hunt thresher sharks and learn from their jumping behaviour when they are juvenile and this benefits them later when hunting for seals?
Have you ever considered asking one of the many universities in Southern California if they could make a tagging system that could be read by your drones so that you could keep better track of individual sharks?
Wow, I love thresher sharks! They have such a cool style of hunting with their large pectoral fins (their brakes) and long tails that they use to stun pray. I'm so interested in the carrying of the tail in the mouth. I would love to know the reason. The barb of the sting ray makes sense but I wonder why they carry the thresher's tail.
at 5:59, the barb of a batray is actually near the base of the tail, and are a few inches long, depending. It seems youre videoing tails hanging from their mouths, not barbs?
A) You are a 1005 WIZARD AND WE ALL ARE SO GREATFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK..... THANK YOU! Now to put on my unworthy tinfoil hat...... I think that was a Bari nipping at that Whites tail..... thought I could be wrong. Again.... you da man! Thank you for all your incredible work!!!
I’m from Oklahoma and had relatives that lived in Torrance. We would go to Redondo Beach, and I’d go in there and body surfing when we visited. Have you ever done any filming/flying at Redondo or Torrance Beach?
I absolutely love sharks! I am so fascinated by them. now, if it came to getting in the water with one even in a cage, I definitely would not do it. I’ve only seen one in my life and that was in Savannah Georgia years ago.. I just want to tell you I absolutely love watching your videos! They’re so much knowledge in them of sharks, especially great white. I do have a question, though. I have heard that bull sharks are the most aggressive, but I read a story of a shark attack back years ago and a guy named Rod was killed, literally ripped the pieces by oceanic white tips. I have also heard that TigerSharks are literally garbage cans. So with you having so much knowledge of sharks, unlike me. lol . What do you believe is the most aggressive? Please write me back and let me know. 😊
the comment about bullying reminded me of some videos that show seals "chasing" great whites.... or maybe they just realize the safest place is right behind...
You know how internal bleeding can put pressure on the heart? I read in one of my MANY shark books that if a shark's heart gets punctured, they have the ability to flush out excess blood to keep pressure from building up on their hearts.

Carlos footage always delivers, new findings and new theories on shark behavior and interactions, amazing channel indeed.
It's a miserable Sunday evening in the UK & this brightened my evening. Thanks for inspiring & educating.
We have depressing weather here

Spectacular video! So interesting!
Another excellent video 👍
Learn something new every time I come here, thanks Carlos.
Breaching is incredible, you're very lucky to have witnessed this, thanx for filming
Carlos, your videos are not only visually stunning, they are packed with amazing facts and details. Thank you!
Breaches, Entrails & Tails-sounds like the title of a book! Could be a murder mystery. Great video. Thanks.
0:25 is the most immaculate specimen I think I’ve ever seen 😮
Cheers Carlos 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
Oh?! This one sounds exciting. Waiting excitedly.
Simply amazing Carlos and even more so that you were able to go back through all your footage to find this evidence 👏

Once again great documentation .thank you so much for sharing your passion . Looking forward to watch more……
Awesome, as always, my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Again ! You did it!!! Thank you for your patience!
Patience my son :) ...it pays off.

This channel is so good. Everything animal planet/discovery channel wishes it could be. Great footage!
Wow Carlos you never cease to amaze me with the incredible footage of these magnificent Great White Sharks, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Amazing video. I never knew there were so many sharks off our coast. I'm glad I gave up swimming in the ocean years ago.
Awesome footage.
As always. 🦈
love these videos
Wonderful footage Carlos! I believe that fish following the shark is in fact a Barracuda. Great interactions
I have been a subscriber to your channel for some time. I absolutely love your videos. I just recently moved to California. I have been in love with Great Whites since 7th grade, so I try not to miss any of your videos, hoping someday I'll see you at the beach! Keep up the awesome work. Forever one of your biggest fans!
That'd be awesome to catch a thresher shark/great white predation! 🦈 💙
I thoroughly enjoy your videos.
thanks for great videos!

Thresher is my favorite shark❤😊

@7:37 the fish here with a yellow tail can be easily confused as a Yellowtail, but the pointy snout gives it away as a barracuda.
Yes that is almost certainly a barracuda. I've caught enough of them in my life to know that wasn't a yellow tail😂. That fish isn't even the same body style as a yellow tail
Love these videos!!
Another great video! Thank you ❤!!
Great video! ❤🦈❤🦈❤
WOW! That was just awesome! I have learned so much from the information you've provided and the expert footage from the video! Many thanks! Just WOW!
This channel is rad!
Thank you for your awesome work 😍

Serious find. Bravo.
Very interesting video Carlos.
Thanks for sharing.
Makes sense that they are constantly chasing, eating, observing, & digesting. Learning what food is filling and what food isn’t. Learning how to out maneuver the faster shark, sometimes means out lasting their stamina. Stalking perhaps??? Idk but VERY interesting!
Thank you very much for this content ❤
when you show the yellow tail nibbling at the great white's tail, i wonder if there could have been one of those copepod's. i have seen them on the dorsal fins of the great whites, but can't recall if i've seen them on the tail.

5:30 STILL,IDK how ur not ceo of aerial photography National Geographic, Discovery,..etc😊
San Diego has a lot of Leopard Sharks and Sting Rays, but I haven't seen any Great Whites. I'm going to keep looking. Very informative, thanks.
Oh they are there!! The entire California coastline is their home
i live in Half Moon Bay California. I made the mistake of going swimming with my friends at night at the Jeti next to Princeton Harbor. I was standing in water about chest high pretty far from shore.

Breaching gets stuff out of their gills
Have you ever considered asking one of the many universities in Southern California if they could make a tagging system that could be read by your drones so that you could keep better track of individual sharks?
The only thing I hate about your videos is that they end. ❤❤
Happy sharks!
Wow, I love thresher sharks!
They have such a cool style of hunting with their large pectoral fins (their brakes) and long tails that they use to stun pray. I'm so interested in the carrying of the tail in the mouth. I would love to know the reason. The barb of the sting ray makes sense but I wonder why they carry the thresher's tail.
Another possibility is the Thresher shark was hurt or dead when the White found it.
Do you ever cover GW’s in SD? I was surfing there recently and curious how often sharks are near the surf spots
Nice!!
at 5:59, the barb of a batray is actually near the base of the tail, and are a few inches long, depending. It seems youre videoing tails hanging from their mouths, not barbs?
A) You are a 1005 WIZARD AND WE ALL ARE SO GREATFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK..... THANK YOU! Now to put on my unworthy tinfoil hat...... I think that was a Bari nipping at that Whites tail..... thought I could be wrong. Again.... you da man! Thank you for all your incredible work!!!
Do your drones have a microphone? Im curious if you warn swimmers, kayakers that there are Great Whites in the area?
Did they always do this or is this something new ?
What is the purpose of the sharks dragging entrails around?
I’m from Oklahoma and had relatives that lived in Torrance. We would go to Redondo Beach, and I’d go in there and body surfing when we visited. Have you ever done any filming/flying at Redondo or Torrance Beach?
1:03 what type of shark is that?

i love the little nibbler 🦈 🐠
are some of these sharks you film, salmon sharks? it seems like they would look almost identical from a drone sometimes...
the comment about bullying reminded me of some videos that show seals "chasing" great whites.... or maybe they just realize the safest place is right behind...
You know how internal bleeding can put pressure on the heart? I read in one of my MANY shark books that if a shark's heart gets punctured, they have the ability to flush out excess blood to keep pressure from building up on their hearts.
Top water lure.
All of the macropredatory shark species regularly prey on other sharks
Yes. That's true. But it's rarely if ever seen.
Wonder if they don’t eat the tails of anything similar ‘just in case’! Like not eating their crusts (if crusts were actually poison)!
The little yellowtail was eating a parasite. The shark likes the help.
Looks like they ate the Thresher sharks whole?
Do you ever see blue sharks? What other sharks do you see?
Thresher sharks are ultra-fast swimmers. I am surprised that great whites are able to catch them.
I wonder if a big thresher shark would give a great white a run for its money
could it be that its not a thresher shark, but a young great white he killed? thier tails look similar.
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
No news here. Gw will eat what it wants !
White sharks eat a lot of tope
As well
Thats just what they do they are predators!!!!
duane peters calls them "thrasher sharks, dude..."
Sharks eat sharks always have, all species.
When the White Sharks are very hungry or the males want to impress the females they show up with a human between their teeth.
And when a man wants to impress his woman he brings the white shark home for dinner 😊
Absurdity.
😂😂
Ignorance at its truest and purest. Well done, pal. Perhaps you should keep your mouth shut or go spew your brazen ignorance someplace else.
@@frankorobinson1540disgusting.
It’s your fault you know. Your drone flying overhead, and they’re hoping for that 15-minutes of fame.
It is, afterall, Southern Cali.
