People who have a fear of sharks: *confused screaming*
The Dodo has helped me to not fear sharks anymore 😊💙. I have nothing but love and respect for them.
Oo my heart melts. How special
They're just big fish with teeth, love :)
I still fear sharks…….
Will go extinct
They are one of my favorite animals
Me
I am a scuba diver, and I can tell you nurse sharks are truly amazing creatures. Thank you for your love ❤️
She reminds me kinda like a manatee seems almost like a dog 😂
This is fantastic. 🥰
Nurse Sharks Are AWESOME
I wanna do this so badly. But the truth is what’s stopped me is the fear of the ocean itself, the fact that so many things can go wrong in such an uncontrolled environment. But I also wanna let nurse sharks and tiger sharks, and lemon sharks, and Caribbean reef sharks, and blue sharks, and thresher sharks, and basking sharks. Soooo I have a dilemma here, either I forget doing it or I conquer my fear of deep water.
@@Cashwisdom94 Go shallow, with friends you trust and follow the rules. Then work up. If you get your own equipment, and get used to it you won't worry so much, And pay Dive Master to escort you. Do it, it is worth it. You will feel and be safe
She’s just laying there enjoying the rubs on her head like a little puppy.🦈🦈🦈🤗🤗🤗👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
yes
What a precious girl, she's like an underwater doggo. 😀
A very ancient underwater doggo regarding it's species. Predates domestic dogs, by hundreds of millions of years Lol
@@etholus1000very cool
I was dive program coordinator at an aquarium so was in all the big exhibits weekly, sometimes several times a day. In the Caribbean exhibit I started scratching the rays backs and they absolutely loved it! They’d settle on the acrylic tunnel to get their turn, with some of them coming back a few times. Two would follow me around the exhibit hoping for more attention.
A most memorable lifetime experience 💭❤️
That is so cute!
It seems that’s all they want. Love and attention 💕
That so cool. You're very lucky to have had this experience.
What are you doing today?.....
"I'm just going to see my pet shark!" 🦈💙
😁👍👍👍
What are you doing today?.....
Shark: "I'm just visiting my human backscratcher"
@@capitalgames318🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmao
I’ve had the chance to dive with Jim and Relentless and I can truly say she is amazing and one of my favorite sharks to dive with. She is just as sweet as the video makes her out to be.
So lucky!
Is emma relentless now
I would love to meet Relentless and dive with Jim. I've always wanted to be a Marine Biologist and a shark researcher, so interacting with a shark would be an amazing experience.
There was a nurse shark in the Bahamas I ran into that was just like this. We sat and fed it for like half an hour and just played with it. It was hanging out with the sea Turtles
So nice to get away from the rat race of the world and do that. If I were 20 years younger I'd be doing that too.
@@muffs55mercury61 try it now :-) perhaps you'll have a pleasent surprise. And lets be honest, whats there to loose?
This is such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@muffs55mercury61 it's never too late. Beautiful sentiment though. ✨🥰
@@NotUnymous Actually I was planning on going down there next year and doing it again ….
Relentless is a movie star ⭐️ 🤩 ⭐️ She is precious 😍 What an honor and a privilege to be loved by a shark 🦈
When he was pointing at the camera, the shark was following his hand like she’s really trying to learn 😂
Imagine, petting a shark, underwater, with thick rough gloves on 😅 I wonder what that experience is like for Relentless given that she clearly LOVES it 🤔 But I do love how her BF is over there like, "This guy better stop getting handsy with my girl or else..."
Sharks have skin that has the texture of rough sandpaper. Compared to that the glove probably feels pretty smooth and soft.
@@Turboy65 lol thanks! I really was wondering. Gotta love how petting is universally accepted as a gesture of love and affection. Humans could pet a T-rex and not end up as food on the menu 😅
heheh 😂
@@ICU1337 It is also something that is a pretty unique behaviour. Most other animals don't give pets to other animals. Occasionally some primates can do so, but rarely in the wild.
You have an underwater pet dog, she loves you. So sweet.
I think you forgot to mention that she wants love and affection 😂
Ya i seem to remember him hinting in a really round about vague way about "love and affection" is what i deciphered. We cant be sure given he wasnt specifically saying those exact words 35 times though.
Personal back scratcher lol
If you never thought a shark could be ADORABLE
Nurse sharks are the bestest of sharks
He only has himself to blame. He spoiled her when she was just a little shark pup. Now she expects it. 🤣❤
It followed me home Mom. Can I keep it?
This is how ecotourism should be: they aren't feeding the sharks, so they aren't reliant on them, they've just formed a friendship
I loved the," I love her"
I have heard that nurse sharks are easier to get along with than other shark species, but I really respect them all. Sharks are highly intelligent, and you sir are lucky to have such a beautiful being that loves being around you.
Tiger and lemon sharks also enjoy being petted.
Yes, nurse sharks are known as one of the more docile species of sharks, although they have bitten people, and they can get excited during a feeding frenzy like any other species of shark. However, since they are commonly found in warm tropical, shallow waters, which are the same kind of waters that people frequent, they interact more with humans than other sharks. And in certain areas, you can actually walk amongst hundreds of nurse sharks, who have become accustomed to humans. But do not let it fool you. It is still very dangerous.
oh my, I am in l🖤ve. I'd be crying each time I had to leave her. I've never seen anything like this and it's beautiful !
🦈🥰
@NOT Today - These are Nurse Sharks, and they are harmless to humans. They are bottom feeders that eat mostly crustacians. Nurse sharks have two whiskers than feel the bottom for food. Their teeth are mainly used to crush shell fish.
@@kevinp8108 Amazing. They resemble catfish with those whiskers. SO CUTE. I would love to be that man for just one day on one of his excursions. This is one of my favorite dodo vids.
🦈🖤
Relentless is such a beautiful shark. Her constant need for love/ affection is so cute and adorable
Alright Mr SCUBA diver, I’m ready for my close up
which is my best side?
I burst into tears 💧💧when he said he was so humbled to be her friend- I would love to meet her! I watch this video all the time. It’s my favorite animal video. I think sharks are so beautiful and I wish they weren’t maligned.
I love that they've gathered around the divers instead of hunting, and the divers don't have food to coax them over, meaning they see the divers and drop everything because "pets!"
She is so dang cute.
Aww just gorgeous. Sharks are sentient beings too ❤
Sharks don’t deserve the bad press, they get. They’re beautiful.
First thing I look up is how long do nurse sharks live for. 25 years! Yay!
This guy must really make more videos. This is so beautiful 🦈🦈🦈
This is so weird and beautiful beautiful at the same time! Animals can feel and give love just like humans. They just have a different kind of ways!
Not just like humans. Just like nurse sharks. Part of good conservation is not anthropomorphizing animals.
Hello pretty damsel I just come across your comment then go through your profile you have a nice smile 🌹❤️ I would love to be your friend if you don't let chart on WhatsApp
What a sweety. I have fallen in love with sharks and have been doing a lot of research myself. My friends keep wondering why they don't see me that much, I just tell them I watch sharks all day LOL. Thanks for sharing Relentless with us.
I love how he loves this sweet shark!❤
Earlier video on this channel had tiger shark and lemon shark cuddling
Brings teardrops.... I have the same relationship with the wild raptors. They are playful and affectionate.
She is just beautifully adorable😍😍
Oh my gosh, how lucky are you to have made such a beautiful friend. Thank you so much for sharing the story of Relentless, I'm jealous🥰
I teared up when Jim said "He Loved her" One of the sweetest and most diffferent videos I have seen in a long time.
I've seen some amazing shark video's lately but this just tops the lot. These creatures are obviously highly intelligent and have advanced sense of emotion in that they respond to affection in much the same way a dog might do. We have got sharks so wrong, we have demonised them for so long but in actual fact they just want some love.
That's pretty amazing. Nurse sharks like to wade on the bottom of shallow waters. They are generally mild mannered and aren't aggressive however people who have accidentally stepped on them have gotten bitten.
Even though I have seen a video on a different channel of this relationship between the diver and Relentless, it is heartwarming to see it again on this channel. Thank you for uploading and sharing. It gives me a feeling of warmth and hope for the future, that we might be able to treat the sharks with the care and respect they deserve. Again, thank you.
Many years ago I kept tropical fish.
Fish are very playful, friendly and affectionate.
Relentless the shark, is feeling the love ♥ 🦈 ☺
Nurse sharks are like the "catfish" of the shark world. However, don't EVER underestimate them folks. They CAN and WILL bite you if provoked. This is a rare exceptional case. Which speaks volumes about any wild animal. They ALL have their own unique personalities.
She loves the scritches 😊🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️!!
It's actually probably a totally amazing feeling for her. Like something she had never experienced before. Like "these hooman things can actually do some pretty cool stuff with those weird appendages they have!"
And it isn't food motivated. It's purely for the pleasure of it.
I was raised to believe that sharks were mindless killing machines. This video says otherwise.
The vast sea is a very lonely places with full of predators they are living in fear everyday. Kind human gives them love and affection is very precious to them. Awesome. Kepp Up The Work
Love from Assam, 🇮🇳
I love this! ❤️ We all need a little love and attention!
a little can go a far way ❤️
Aww, I didn’t know how loving a shark could be! How wonderful!💖
Lovely! I loved this!
Sharks are sentient, intelligent beings too. They are equally deserving of Loving-Kindness, Compassion and Respect like all other living beings.
She looks a little bit like the main dragon,in the how to train your dragons movie.
Y’mean Toothless, the Nightfury 😊
@@LittleMissV Ty yes
@@LittleMissV So would she be Mouthful? Since sharks have a lot of teeth?
I love these shark cuddle stories.
Well, if that's not the cutest thing! Animals never cease to amaze me; big animals, small animals, preditors...they really do seem to luv attention and can be affectionate. Too cool!! ❤❤❤💋
Totally awesome, you can see in that the shark is relaxed enjoying every second of her cuddle. Very amazing
No matter what sea exhibit I go to, the sharks are the best and the stars of the show. And seeing Relentless trying to learn is actually really cute and amazing.
Relentless is so gorgeous and this is very heartwarming story ❤❤❤
animals can tell if you care for them and love them they won't be a fear of you and you won't be a fear of them
Hello pretty damsel I just come across your comment then go through your profile you have a nice smile 🌹❤️ I never forget to mention you are very beautiful and attractive woman I would love to be your friend if you don't mine let chart on WhatsApp
I just wish I could experience this. ❤❤❤
All animals love human providers of resources.
Such beautiful Dogs, very sweet and loving
Just proves that most sharks are just the puppies of the sea
Nature at her finest 🥰
“As long as you can give her the love she deserves..” AND as long as you stay around to protect her because now she’ll be putting herself into harms way approaching humans.
She’s being doing it for 10 years and still not been harmed so put away your armchair shark expertise and shush.
That's the sad reality of this situation
@@bvbinsane1vanity hahahaha 😂
Yeah,humans have a habit of destroying beautiful creatures .
Those NURSE Sharks look like Aeroplanes...Coasting the sandy floor..🥰🥰🥰
absolutely beautiful nurse shark
Shark's, Are smarter then what people give them...!!! Lucky guy, Beautiful Cute fun shark moment 🦈
not only act's it cute, it actually looks cute wow that was nice
God Bless y'all for being so kind and having such loving hearts 🤍❤️🤍
So cool to be near a shark!
All creatures are wonderful if you just take the time to learn their language. Love it! Thank you for sharing! This is where learning and compassion begins. ❤
Everything is a dog if u give them a taste of love affection and head pats
Empathy, respect, and affection goes a long way with almost any species 🥰
Take a swig everytime he says love and affection.
I love sharks... they are very misunderstood more people need to be educated on these amazing animals
"Please don't eat me"
"HI FRIEND!!"
Wow, we’re so lucky to share this planet 🌎 it’s time to do better as humans.
She recognizes him too wow😊
I love her she is so beautiful 😍. I love the fact when he talks to her showing her the difference parts of the camera and her head is moving and looking like she understands it. Relentless is priceless.
Aw. That's so sweet and funny and adorable. I'm kinda jealous.
Truly remarkable, I love it
Nurse Sharks Are Known To Be Pretty Friendly
This whole video is so wholesome I wanna cry I love sharks they are just misunderstood :c They are sea puppies
There are plenty of "shark-petting" videos out there already but they will never overstay their welcome.
I cannot stop smiling and giggling at this little shark and her affection. She is absolutely adorable. I love sharks and the nurse shark is my favourite so this video made my day!! Thank you so much :o) And lots of hugs from me to Relentless!!
That's a weird looking puppy ♥️
That’s really cool to see a shark receiving head rubs like that
All 🦈 sharks should be protected 🥰
Sharks are so amazing. They are the most approachable wild animals.
I have petted many nurse sharks and they are all very gentle.
Incredible!
Did I just see that? Thanks for the moment in time. Go relentlessly
ohhhhhhh 😭😭😭😭 thankyou for your kindness God 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ bless you,how beautiful ❤️
The universal sign of affection, pets on the head.
Amazing and wonderful. All living things respond to love and affection. Even plants!
Amazing Fish having feelings. Absolutely Beautiful. ❤❤❤
Soul of a puppy and body of a Shark 🦈🥰
The indomitable human spirit to pet anything that moves 😂
The nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) is an elasmobranch fish in the family Ginglymostomatidae.
The conservation status of the nurse shark is globally assessed as Vulnerable in the IUCN List of Threatened Species.
They are considered to be a species of least concern in the United States and in The Bahamas, but considered to be near threatened in the western Atlantic Ocean because of their vulnerable status in South America and reported threats throughout many areas of Central America and the Caribbean.
They are directly targeted in some fisheries and considered by-catch in others.
She has at least 10 more years on this earth. May they be happy years with lots of head rubs.
Beautiful Encounter and thank you for sharing this with the World❤
So beautiful to see this
