Great White Sharks Vs Birds: A Collection of Incredible Encounters
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มี.ค. 2024
- In this video, we take a look at various clips of great white sharks and birds interacting. It's pretty entertaining to see these species so close to each other. The birds seem to possess a superpower and the sharks don't seem to be engaging in active hunting with the birds. Although sharks do on occasion eat birds, the approach sharks take to them in most clips in this video is rather relaxed.

Ty, for the interesting, beautiful, calming, relaxing, lovely sounding video, which i had to share with other's!!💯🦢🌊🦈
I think this is the first time you have educated us, that sharks flair their gills to communicate, back off.
It's amazing how all your videos are educational! Than you.
Already subscribed instant like, love your work.
Just want to say that I *love* your channel & that you are surely doing a magnificent service to these beautiful & powerful creatures; & to us in filling in the blanks of our understanding of them.
Thank you.
Love all your videos and I always learn something. This is one of my favorites because the photography is extra beautiful! The bird flying over the shark was spectacular. Thanks for helping advance the science of sharks. ❤
Many many thanks for sharing your work, all your vids are jewels of natural beauty described and commented with talent. If only a few percent of the humanity was involved.
Carlos, once again, beautiful photography. ❤
As always Carlos, loved this video of the shark - bird interactions, videography, narration and to be flying level with the pelicans at the end was as beautiful and calming as ever. Thanks for another video that makes the pure wonder of this planet and some of it's inhabitants come to life so beautifully. Maravilloso 🥳🐟🦈
Great video. Always enjoy seeing one of your posts.
Thanks for sharing awesome vlog🦈🦈🦈🐦
Fantastic content! 🤩
Thank you again TheMalibuArtist
Espectaculares imágenes, una maravilla. Algo único. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones.
Your work is something else, keep it up !
i love sharks especially great whites because of their constant curiosity. Experts say Mako sharks are the most intelligent, but I want to think that the great white shark, alongside the great manta ray, is closer to a mammal than to any other fish.
Mako and white sharks are closely related. Both are from the mackerel family and can operate in colder water.
@@c2jones yes, lamniforms or mackerel sharks are not cold blooded and have a cortex in the brain that grants then the high cognitive and emotional intelligence that differentiates them from most fish
Around the 2:46 mark it looked like that bird tried pooping on the shark as it flew off😂😂😂
Excellent work!
Fascinating… Appreciate your insight!
Always ❤︎ your videos
This channel is freaking awesome!
Glad you think so!
These are both informative and relaxing. :)
Who knew....? I know bull sharks eat birds regularly....but this is certainly interesting AND. a surprise. Thanks for all you beautiful ...shark saving work.❤🦈
Tiger sharks make a practice of eating albatross chicks floating on the water who haven't mastered the air yet.
It's always a calming pleasure to start the day enjoying your content and a cup of coffee. Thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!
I witnessed a white shark take a bird at San Onofre Trail 1 about 7 yrs ago. It didn't strike hard and fast. It took it down very casual like. I do remember having a lot of bird feathers around me as I was waiting for a wave.
Absolutely amazing video❤ a beautiful insight into these wonderful creatures world❤
Hi The Malibu Artist 👋😃 Shark's 🦈 & Bird's 🐦⬛ lol Awesome Video 👍🤣 Thanks The Malibu Artist for sharing this Awesome Video 👍🤣
Spectacular!
Ein friedliches Video. Danke Carlos
Thank you!!
Thank you for providing all these footage.
For me as I am learning about sharks I'm trying to get some feeling about how far sharks are from the coast and how many of them there are. Instead of only providing footage of sharks, could you provide some footage about how long to fly along a beach to identify a shark? And is it even reliable to find a shark within the drones range?
Amazing, I had to laugh a few times.
Interesting video 😊
That absolutely fascinated me. It was a subject I hadn’t thought about as I had recently seen a video of a shark snatching a bird. So it had gone to the back of my mind.
Watching and listening to your commentary showed me a relationship in nature with an apex predator that I never knew was possible.
Carlos, do you think it’s possible they don’t particularly like eating birds? I doubt sharks are fussy eaters, I was just curious if they didn’t like feathers? Now you’ve got me thinking about it.
Awesome video as always. I love all your videos ❤ 🦈
I loved!❤
Very good video...I wonder how the surfers can float with those steel balls...
Still hoping to see you make it big time. Always a great watch. Better than Nat Geo!!!
Wonderful video. .I was looking forward to it, Well I think for one thing , birds really are not their menus (much like humans ) , they don’t offer much sustenance, and as we know Great White have an amazing curiosity ,and the birds by way of evolution must have developed their own way of sensing danger with sharks , it really is interesting , Great Whites have fascinated me since I was a kid, there’s something mysterious and regal about them
Mark Twain said "It is far easier to fool a person than to convince them they've been fooled!"
Birds often use a "jump" off the ground to take flight.
Being on water, they can't get that leverage and can explain having to travel horizontally - in addition to like you explained.
I think birds would be on the menu if these sharks thought they might have a shot at catching one. Elsewhere, tigers target the young albatross and have learned hunting techniques to be successful.
Where i live there is a small island off the coast called penguin island. Its full of fairy penguins - a couple of feet tall, at most. You can walk out to the island via a sandbar. In the morning its knees deep or ankle deep but coming back in the afternoon the water can be chest deep or higher. Sometimes you have to swim parts of the sandbar.
We have a lot of sharks. Coming back one afternoon with a bit of wind and chop with a friend, we were armpit deep about halfway across- im just over 6 feet - when we came across the floating top end of a penguin that had been very obviously bitten in half. Very obviously by a shark - the bite looked like when you take a bite out of a slice of bread, except the whole bottom half of this penguin was relatively cleanly gone. There had been a fatal attack nearby a couple of weeks before and that shark was long clear of the area and a lot bigger than whatever shark munched the penguin, but we still broke our record for the last half of that sandbar crossing. I guess that penguin just got unlucky.
Absolutely gorgeous protection from cruelty
Obviously....the shark is curious and looking for quick easy meal.
It’s fastening that one shark won’t touch the birds, but another shark like the tiger, would absolutely destroy those birds
Birds *are* dinosaurs, just so you know.
Taking off is hard work, just like a pidgeon would rather walk to avoid a pedestrian than have to fly. It is efficient
There is a perception by many people that sharks are out there hunting people. Those surfers clearly are not on the menu at least in SoCal. Not sure I'd be comfortable out there in NorCal with the more mature White sharks that feed on seals even though attacks are rare.
Exactly correct. There's even mass hysteria leading to ruthless culling of sharks around the world.
The problem is that TH-cam is bloated with misinformation on sharks; vilifying them with absurd notions of them "stalking humans to eat" in which such myths are believed as fact at epidemic levels.
There are far too many (most) that believe such things and think anyone who doesn't believe their myths are "shark apologists." There's whole TH-cam channels that make revenue by propelling these myths.
This misinformation contributes to too many believing falsehoods which mischaracterizes sharks and causes intolerance toward them.
Here's a better analogy: when you say "sharks existed before trees", this is phylogenetically the same thing as saying "pterosaurs are birds, birds evolved in the Late Triassic" or even that "sauropodomorps are birds, birds evolved in the Middle Triassic" instead of saying "birds are derived theropods, and evolved in the Middle Jurassic". I am a big fan of phylogenetic grades, and wouldn't be opposed to considering any toothy elasmobranch a "shark", just like we consider any vertebrate except for tetrapods a "fish", but that's not how "shark" is understood. The common ancestor of living sharks, sawfish, stingrays, etc lived long after the evolution of trees, so I would stick to saying "shark-like cartilaginous fish predate trees", or give the alternative definition of "shark" you are using.
Now I wonder if sharks and prehistoric ducks (which we have fossil evidence for) interacted with each other 66 million or more years ago...
Several kinds of fish will catch and eat birds.
I think the sharks are just fooling around. We've long known that animals are very playful; even species that seem less likely to play have been observed doing behaviors that remind us of play. Also, the birds are familiar with these shark behaviors and, possibly, are also fooling around with the sharks.

Correction: Birds *are* dinosaurs.
👍👍👍
A fisherman uses the birds to find fish, why wouldn't the sharks know this. Always nice to have lunch close by incase they snack.
Just a guess, but maybe bird's feathers make them undesirable to sharks
well in terms of wild animals and their energy use it is a math equation for an animal to thrive it needs to gain more energy than it uses in the process of finding said energy.. so a shark that "chases a bird for no reason" is really just a shark that realizes using so much energy to eat a bird isnt worth it so if its too hard its not worth it .. therefore if it takes to much energy to chase it it is no longer a worthwhile prey item....cool video though
Expending energy for both? The shark doesn't want to waste energy on a virtually useless meal and the bird risks that the shark isn't hungry...or feeling playful. Just guessing.
Sharks and Crocodiles are older than the trees. These animals must be respected and saved.
Crocodiles are not older than trees, sharks are.
@@paulo157758 and i say that Crocodiles are older than the trees. Sharks and Crocodiles are the oldest big species that still life on earth. Or Chris Gillette is wrong ! I dont think so 🤗
@@MarioLamRedRebel Modern crocodilians emerged/evolved in the Cretaceous. Pseudosuchians( ancestors of crocodilians) evolved in Triassic, plants already existed in both cases.
@@paulo157758 they evolved 250 miljoen years ago as a species.
@@paulo157758 Crocodiles 250 miljoen years and sharks 430 miljoen years ago

A papa shark and baby shark are swimming along and they run across a sinking ship with people in the water. "Son, its time to learn how to stalk and eat a human" the papa shark says. "Watch me and learn!" he says as he approaches a victim with his dorsal fin high out of the water. He then proceeds to circle the victim for several minutes with his large fin on full display, then moves in and eats the victim in one chomp. The baby shark then says: "pops, Why waste time with the fancy swimming and showing off your fin? Why didnt you just swim up and eat him?" Pop says: "Because they taste better when you scare the cr@p outta them first.."
Sharks do not stalk to eat humans. And never in one chomp. Sharks are mostly disinterested in humans. Attacks are extremely rare, especially given the massive ratio of opportunity.

Since my response to further comments here keeps disappearing, I'll place my subsequent response here.
The problem is that TH-cam is bloated with misinformation on sharks; vilifying them with absurd misinformation on them "stalking humans to eat" in which such myths are believed as fact at epidemic levels.
There's far too many (most) that believe such things and think anyone who doesn't believe their myths are "shark apologists." There's whole channels (like Sharks Happen and others) that propel these myths.
No, with respect, it just isn't funny and worse, it contributes to these myths on TH-cam.
Now, of course, the silly conversation between father and son shark is obviously satire. But that's NOT what I'm referring to. Let's not be foolish. I refer strictly to applying humor to the notion that sharks are actively seeking humans to swallow up and eat. It simply isn't funny.
Worse, it contributes to falsehoods which mischaracterize sharks and cause intolerance toward them.
Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year. That’s an average of almost 274,000 sharks every day, over 11,000 sharks every hour. More than one third of shark species are currently threatened with extinction. Populations of sharks in the open ocean have declined by 71% over the past 50 years.
You'll pardon my sensitivity toward anything making light of these myths that millions believe as fact which isn't doing sharks any favors.
@@c2jonesare you kidding me right now ya nerd
@@mulletoutdooradventures6286
No. Contrary to the droves of uninformed TH-camrs drunk on misinformation, scientific accuracy matters.
@@c2jones it was a joke ya noodle. Nothing more, which is more then I can say for you
@@mulletoutdooradventures6286
You're the noodle and the joke. Take a spelling lesson.
Birds are as old as sharks 🦈
The exact date of the emergence of sharks is a matter of ongoing research but it's generally accepted that they showed up in the world's oceans between 450 and 400 million years ago.
The ancestors of all today's birds evolved between 65 and 53 million years ago.
Weak tiger 63
When you say "sharks are older than trees" they weren't really sharks back then. They were cartilaginous stem-Elasmobranch fish, most of which went extinct, one species survived to diversify in the Jurassic to give rise to all the cartilaginous fish we know today- rays, chimaeras, sharks, etc. If you don't consider rays and chimaeras sharks, then the common ancestor they share with sharks likely wouldn't be very sharklike (aside from the indisputable fact that 'shark' would be a paraphyletic group, like 'fish'), and so sharks didn't exist before the Jurassic, long after trees appeared. The most you can say is cartilaginous fish existed before plants that looked like trees, and some of those cartilaginous fish (no lineal descendents left today) had toothy mouths.
It's commonly accepted that the earliest evidence of shark fossils dates back as far as 450 million years, which means these creatures have been around at least 90 million years before trees and 190 million years before dinosaurs.
Sharks have been around since before Pangea broke apart.
The earliest species that we could classify as “tree,” the now-extinct Archaeopteris, lived around 350 million years ago, in forests where the Sahara desert is now. But Sharks have skirted four global mass extinctions.
(Smithsonian. 2023.)
@@c2jones You literally ignored everything I said. All extant Elasmobranchs- rays, sawtooth sharks, sharks, etc- can trace their ancestry to a single organism in the Mesozoic (long after trees evolved). Sharks are a monophyletic group descending from this ancestor. If you want to count any toothy cartilaginous fish as a "shark", then it's lost its evolutionary meaning as a group- which is what you want to say when claiming "sharks existed before trees". No, it's cartilaginous fish that existed before trees. The common ancestor of everything today we call a "shark" did not. And no Smithsonian Magazine Online does not count as a source.
@chir0pter
Every established, recognized scientific source mirrors what I presented. I even provided the source.
We'll have all of them defer to you. These evolutionary biologists all need to learn from you. Write to the Smithsonian and the Oceanic educational centers and redirect them on how to word things.
@@c2jones Literally just go look up Neoselachii on wikipedia dude. Nothing I said was wrong (well, I was incorrect saying chimaeras are elasmobranchs). You literally just have to understand how phylogenetics work.
@@c2jones "Anachronistidae, the oldest probable representatives of Neoselachii, the group containing modern sharks (Selachimorpha) and rays (Batoidea) to the exclusion of most extinct elasmobranch groups, date to the Carboniferous [after trees]. Selachiimorpha (shark-like things) and Batoidea (rays) are suggested by some to have diverged during the Triassic [way after trees]. Fossils of the earliest true sharks may have appeared during the Permian, based on remains of "synechodontiforms" found in the Early Permian of Russia [way after trees], but if remains of "synechodontiformes" from the Permian and Triassic are true sharks, they only had low diversity. Modern shark orders first appeared during the Early Jurassic, and during the Jurassic true sharks underwent great diversification."
Please stop using " unique" to indicate " unusual" or "extraordinary". Unique means " one of a kind".
Earth is not a planet!!!
ell yea dude
What is it then?
