I remembered when you filmed Fin, thats how I called him, I hope he is alive, the fact that this animals have to deal with all sort of mishaps, natural or human, and yet a big percenteage recovers its testament to its amazing survival skills, amazing animals if you ask me, I suggest the name Blade, thanks for your invaluable work Carlos.
There is a humpback whale named Bladerunner which had horrific injuries caused by a boat propellor in Sydney in 2001, but it has recovered well with incredible scars. You can find photos on the Internet if you are interested.
You can just tell that most of the injuries shown here are from careless boat strikes. They are always most usually flush to the top of the water and clean strikes instead of mauled bite marks from territorial behaviour. Great to hear you are enjoying these videos and learning about one of the most feared apex predators of other marine life in the ocean!😊
Exceptionally detailed and good quality photography. The effort gone in filming the sharks is unfathomable. Your love for those animals surpasses praise. Brilliant !
Other animal species sometimes shift their activities when they are ill or wounded, in order to avoid conflicts with conspecifics. Foxes with mange are mostly seen during the day, when they are less likely to run into other foxes. Due to last summer's draught, European badgers were deprived of their main food source, earthworms. On several instances i saw notably skinny badgers fouraging (or trying to fourage) in mid-day, which is not something I ever saw a healthy badger do. And several years ago, an orphaned half-year old brown bear miraculously survived on his own by shifting his activity patterns to mid-day and open fields (even when bears are active during the daytime here in Slovenia, they tend to remain out of sight in the cover of the forest). After a few months, he was seen less and less often, presumably shifting back to a more "average" routine when he was a bit bigger, stronger and faster. I wonder, when you notice that the injured shark spends more time near human activity, could it be doing something similar, in order to avoid other, larger sharks?
It’s clips like these that keep me watching this Amazing Video reporter. Not only are the commentaries interesting and informative but the narrative reads like one of CS Lewis enthralling tales.
You must be a child or really dumb. There is nothing to feel sorry about creatures who have tenure of thousands of years on this planet. Survival is not an issue to them. They outlived the dinosaurs. They will rip you apart if you give them the opportunity and they won’t feel horrible for you
I LOVE your content Carlos. I have been fascinated with estuarine, marine and pelagic species since I was a young child. I benefitted so much from uncles and other close adults who were avid watermen and ocean fishermen who taught me to love the ocean. I am 65 now and I can state for a fact, based on personal observation, that our waters in the US and Caribbean and elsewhere in the Pacific are *significantly* less healthy than they were when I was in my teens and 20s. The oceans are incredibly special and precious and SO many people do not understand or realize that the health of our oceans and the myriad of species that live within are so closely related to the health and wellbeing of us humans on land. Please continue your groundbreaking research and let as many people as you can know how important these majestic creatures are. I thank you for what you do and appreciate it so much. The scars on these sharks resulting from human interaction and boat / prop strikes breaks my heart. Bravo to you my friend !
Iaso (female) = Greek goddess of healing and recuperation or Galen (male) = calm and tranquil, because it's so calming watching them swim from above. Thank you for sharing your amazing footage with us!
A very deep wound on that one. Would be nice to see it heal up. Logan would be a good name... Wolverines name, with the type of scar and healing power.
@6:10 based on the overhead view of this sharks pelvic fins, the injury is causing destabilization for the shark... hopefully little guy recovers & thrives! He also looks thin.
Is there nothing that can be done to sort of cage in a propeller but where it can still function fine, just not let the blades hit anything below it??? ANYTHING??
Great video. I have often heard of the legendary healing capabilities of the shark. The evidence is pretty amazing. I am horrified by what they have to go through from us though. Infuriating. The ocean is their home and life is tough enough as it is. Do you think any injuries could be from orcas or are they unlikely to escape when the pack attack? I was also very surprised by the collision footage. That shark looked like it had no clue that inflatable was coming. I had thought that the sounds/vibrations would alert it. Maybe it was daydreaming lol. And who the hell goes boating in any critter nursery? Or are these areas generally not known? We had some prick here kill a dolphin calf on a jetski. Was a terrible thing. I can't wait to see the progress of the healing. Obvious name would be Scar, all tough and rugged but how about Lenny? :D Seems chill :)
I❤all your happy soothing, uplifting & happy created video's! I🤍God's creation & creatures specially sharks, dolphins & whales! May God bless you , your channel & America!☦️🕯🇺🇸
Thank you Carlos. I think the sharks name should be resilience ❤I am one of your original patreon’s by the way I just changed my email address that is all. Thank you for your continued incredible dedication to the ocean and its creatures❤
Carlos, I said when you first posted this that I had saved it to watch later, as I knew it would be upsetting. I did watch it, just now. I'm so glad I did; it's great to see that this particular young shark is healing. The dorsal fin wound is just horrific. But I don't wonder at the rate of dorsal fin injuries in white sharks after seeing your many videos covering the way they use their dorsal fins to touch and investigate. I guess this one probably did just this with the boat propeller. The other logical theory is, of course, that it is the highest point in the water and most likely to be struck. Perhaps this was the case here. Either way, I do believe it should be forbidden to use motor boats in nursery areas, whether fish, sharks, whales, or pinnipeds.
His injuries remind me of railroad tracks. I would give him a train name. Like 🚂 locomotive, railway, Union Pacific… or pick a character name from Thomas the train.
Regarding your question about the injured shark and it’s interactions with humans I’ve wondered that about the 1916 New Jersey attacks. We’ll never know a true answer, but it makes sense to me that an injured/sick shark in desperation would go for a human. Looking forward to your Cape Cod videos. I hope you enjoyed your time here.
I have a couple good suggestions: •Luna for her near crescent moon shaped scar •Stella because she is a star that continues to shine •Hikari in that she helps to illuminate the darkness of fear, confusion & hatred that many people live in & with better understanding comes respect & compassion for these beautiful & magnificent animals!🦈
I love watching these magnificent creatures. Thank you for your work. It breaks my heart what humans are doing to this planet, our oceans, and all living creatures on it. These beautiful creatures endure pain and discomfort that they should not have to, many times just because of our carelessness and indifference. I look forward to your amazing coverage of these majestic animals and hope that your work will spark the changes humans need to make for these animals to thrive❤. I think this shark should be named Hope. I chose this name as when people see him/her, I hope they make efforts to ensure manmade injuries like this one will not happen again. I also chose hope in that this sharks resilience should inspire all of us that no matter how bad something can be there is always hope to do better.
I feel so sad for these sharks that get hit by propellers or caught in nets etc. Its so unnecessary. If only people gave them the same respect they save for dolphins and whales
Following your progress. Fascinating. I can’t help but think the repeated following of humans by the injured shark is because he wants some kind of crazy revenge. I might sound ridiculous and anthropomorphic, but strange behaviors happen every day. Just a thought.
It's just like the manatees I see every season here in Florida over my 65 years here. Boat's flying everywhere not caring how fast they go. I know accidents happen but it is heartbreaking to see the creatures of our oceans suffering on account of us.
Phoenix, I think that's a good name for this shark. Like the mythical fire bird that burns out but rises anew from the ashes. They've been through so much, yet they still carry on. I hate that people do this to them without thinking, and I hope those people who did this face justice. I hope Phoenix is alive and well. I'd actually like to see great white sharks in person (from a safe place, I mean). Safe travels and love to you, Phoenix 🦈❤🔥💖
You would think with all the awareness and education about saving these amazing creatures that there should be signs around these nursery areas. Signs telling boaters to slow down immensely. I think this is an area of awareness that needs to be addressed.
I had no idea how many times sharks get hit. I always thought that they would shy away or go deeper when a boat came along. I wonder if they are sleeping when they get hit.
Whales come to humans for help. Sharks have also done so. Maybe this shark (the prop injured one, Mercury) is looking for a doctor, or it saw who was driving the boat. White sharks are very intelligent. So are crows and ravens. If you fuck with a crow he will remember forever. Mercury knows the boat pilot, and knows humans look different from each other. Revenge isn't just a human trait. Now, if we could invent a prop that prevents injury by its construction, we could save many lives and injuries such as this.
I wonder if it's approaching humans more because the injury is effecting its ability to hunt, so it's looking for a potential meal where it normally would not.
I don't think you should give it a name. It's not a pet or a human. It's sad that sharks get so many injuries. Great that they seem to recover so quickly as well.
Shark body frame is made of cartilage which can grow back quickly due to the very high uric acid content in their blood, but the soft cartilage is easier to be cut by boat propeller than the hard bones. Boaters are mostly responsible for severe injuries of sharks in shallow water shark nursery. California has law prohibits shark fishing in shallow water from shore, but the law makers missed the most dangerous killers/attackers of great white sharks in shallow water nursery, the fast boats. 🤔🤨🙄😎
All these injuries could be from orcas and obviously boats or water crafts. Maybe these sharks, got away, or the orcas weren't really hungry to chase and kill. No one has ever caught, on film, great whites fighting eachother. Great white sharks seem so docile, rather than aggressive. Have you ever seen that 30 minute film of some South African guy, who decided to tie a rope around a dead whale carcass's tail and to his boat. And he is underwater filming all the sharks feasting on this whale carcass. He is feet away, filming this. There were several tiger sharks there and over a dozen dusky sharks. All the sharks were super aggressive with him. The Tigers were bumping him constantly. He was constantly fighting off the dusky sharks, who were trying to attack him. All of a sudden, every shark backed away, because a huge female great white showed up. She came right up to where he was and took a huge bite. She then would circle around left. Once she accidently bumped into this guy and he realized, she likes to go left. So he waited there and sure enough she came around, repeating this and taking huge bites in the same spot. Killer footage of the great white. This man claims, that this great white, saved his life, from the other sharks there. Afterwards, he is on his boat, talking about this story. And he stated, the great white shark, was the only shark there, that had great table manners.
And I'm not talking about that stupid guy who tied a whale carcass to his boat and sat on top of the carcass. It's on youtube, I believe still. Type in whale carcass tied to boat, great white saves my life. It's interesting and crazy.

I am so sad to see these injuries. More people need to see your videos
About half the injuries are from both the other half are from other sharks

I've learned more about white sharks from this channel than I ever did from Discovery Channel and NatGeo combined.
Very stupid comment
Because those channels only care about sensationalism and not science.
I'm pretty sure mankind in general has learned more by his observations than all our previous efforts combined.
This!❤

Great video! Good to see that the injured shark is healing and I hope his approach was a coincidence. Maybe just looking for rays.
Yes, I hope so, or because of some distracted bather, because they are hungry and are getting better!!
Thank you for educating us about these magnificent creatures. 😀
Thanks for your positivity in our world.
It’s clips like these that keep me watching this Amazing Video reporter. Not only are the commentaries interesting and informative but the narrative reads like one of CS Lewis enthralling tales.
Phenomenal work ❤ a true artist thank you for bringing these issues to light in such an inspiring manner
This was hard for me to watch. I feel horrible for these beautiful creatures.
You must be a child or really dumb. There is nothing to feel sorry about creatures who have tenure of thousands of years on this planet. Survival is not an issue to them. They outlived the dinosaurs. They will rip you apart if you give them the opportunity and they won’t feel horrible for you
Amazing footage, Carlos! ❤
The amazing shark skin copied by mankind 😊 thankyou for all your work amazing film making ❤
Thank you, Carlos, for showing us. I cried a little. Nature is brutal, yet gave its denizens super powers, too.
From the speed of that healing, you should name it Lucky Strike! Thank you for what you do! Incredible footage always.

Sharks are SO amazingly Beautiful.❤
It’s so sad to see these wounds and scars on the sharks. 😢
Beautiful and educational video as always.
Incredible video, as always.
Thanks for sharing 🦈
Iaso (female) = Greek goddess of healing and recuperation or Galen (male) = calm and tranquil, because it's so calming watching them swim from above. Thank you for sharing your amazing footage with us!
Great ideas for his/her name ❤
Either Adam or Titan, the two being short for adamantium and titanium, respectively, lol!
this channel makes nat geo look like an old outdated book.
great content. im in la as well . ilike this content
Your videos bring much needed awareness to the conservation needs of these regal yet maligned predators. The scar reminds me of a grimace. "Grimace"
Didnt get a notification 😢 watched now..exceptional as always !
Brilliant work 👏🏻
Thank you for sharing, Carlos🎉 you're awesome ❤
Gash! ❤
Thanks for this video !
beautiful wonderful story, thankyou
A very deep wound on that one. Would be nice to see it heal up.
Logan would be a good name... Wolverines name, with the type of scar and healing power.
@6:10 based on the overhead view of this sharks pelvic fins, the injury is causing destabilization for the shark... hopefully little guy recovers & thrives! He also looks thin.
You always get such amazing footage! I think he/she should be named BooBoo.
Good video. I really enjoy this channel.
another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your amazing work!!!
Blade Runner. : ). Thank you for your incredible work for better health of these incredible creatures!
Is there nothing that can be done to sort of cage in a propeller but where it can still function fine, just not let the blades hit anything below it??? ANYTHING??
your films are wonderful! And I sad to see these injuries. We have this problem in Florida with boaters and manatees
Such incredible and beautiful creatures. 🦈
Great video
Quality filmmaking

Let’s name him Petri, like from the cartoon the land before time
Watching your videos makes ne feel very sorry for sharks.
Amazing video's very much appreciated , how about scarface huge respect UK 🇬🇧 .
Heres hoping that shark nurseries get equal protections soon. Like yesterday. 💙🦈

Hopefully you can get this information about boat strikes on local news to educate people.
Why would boats speed in shark nurseries? Sad that it is not regulated. :(
It's just like the manatees I see every season here in Florida over my 65 years here. Boat's flying everywhere not caring how fast they go. I know accidents happen but it is heartbreaking to see the creatures of our oceans suffering on account of us.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
How about Cutty Shark?
Oh this wins my vote - very clever pun.
Strong Dreamer, maybe😇🦈
Sterling or Silverstone or Gem because he or she is precious
One question, aren't there special suits or any objects that scare them? Thank you very much! A thousand times!
Thanks to this Channel I now know that I have Always swim with sharks around me, and I didnt know.. thank you..😅..
How come there seems to be two sets of scars? A large slash along the dorsal fin and then the smaller cuts across it
You would think with all the awareness and education about saving these amazing creatures that there should be signs around these nursery areas. Signs telling boaters to slow down immensely. I think this is an area of awareness that needs to be addressed.
Thank you so much for the awareness that you bring regarding the sharks they are beautiful and I love all God's creatures❤❤❤❤❤
I had no idea how many times sharks get hit. I always thought that they would shy away or go deeper when a boat came along. I wonder if they are sleeping when they get hit.

Once again humans cause harm and . Amazing footage, thank you

Now, if we could invent a prop that prevents injury by its construction, we could save many lives and injuries such as this.
Looks like people are deliberately driving over the sharks intending to injure them with the propellers.
Just 4 1/2 minutes in...that's all so sad!!!! I wish I could go out and help them, remove hooks and lines and treat injuries. 💔
I wish we could make an area in the nursery zone as boats with no props only.
Magnificent beautiful animals all animals deserve justice and protection from all cruelty climate change poaching habitat destruction
Let's call him "Stitch" - as the scar resembles the old style of mending cuts.
Have these sharks been tagged by any marine biologists?
You should name him Proper Dorsey
I wonder if it's approaching humans more because the injury is effecting its ability to hunt, so it's looking for a potential meal where it normally would not.
How about STITCH?
It was always sad to me seeing orcas with collapsed dorsal fins in captivity.
Name - Stitchless
I don't think you should give it a name. It's not a pet or a human. It's sad that sharks get so many injuries. Great that they seem to recover so quickly as well.
Blade.......the survivor.
How about naming the shark at the end of this video "Lucky."
Name: Fincent van Gogh ❤
Starburst
How about “Backpack” for the name?

i think Flipper would be a good name for her or him.
You know the saltwater helps some too aside from their amazing natural healing abilities
Could it be more prone to injury because its curiosity places it closer to humans.
You should name him Hotah because he is strong 🤘🏻🩷🦈
Theu start hunting marine mammals at adulthood, that's freaky
No way the boat hit that shark by chance they were probably sailing to be on the drone's camera
