- This deep-sea shark wants to make sure it doesn’t miss out on anything that could possibly be a meal. Pacific sleeper sharks live in cold, deep waters where food is scarce. This one is a 3.5 meter long female, but its thought that adults in even deeper waters could be much larger.
Pacific sleeper sharks are also closely related to the famous Greenland sharks, who have the longest lifespan of any known vertebrate. These species are so similar that they can actually interbreed, and they are both commonly affected by the same parasite on their eyeballs that can make them blind.
The Tonga Trench Expedition that filmed this Pacific sleeper shark was lead by Professor Alan Jamieson and included researchers from the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Center at The University of Western Australia (@deepseauwa), Kelpie Geoscience and Inkfish (@inkfishexpeditions ).
That eye is insane, it looks so fake, like it's painted on. Looks like it's rolling back in the head. 0.o
It was rolling back in its head
You know the thing about a shark…he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, he doesn't seem be living, until he bites ya and the black eyes roll over white
Its the crazy eye that get me 🫣
It doesn't look real, that's incredible. Never seen anything like this, that's why I appreciate your footage so much! Thank you
Thanks for watching 🦈
The googly eyes got my spooked
can you use less pokey objects? twice the fish jumped after stabbing itself on the two sharp prongs
Why are deep sea predator always have that kind of scars
Because there's things that live down there, we have yet to discover.
@amberlebooker3943 sire that's most likely a squid
and a cookiecutter shark bite wound on its snout also
Also the sharks live to be SUPER old. You don't live on this planet that long without a few scars.
@@pedrovogeleycookie cutters are the stuff of nightmares.
"Oemgeee is that a Megalodonky shark" 😱
Love the googly eyes lol
I wonder if the eye is doing that because the bright lights are irritating, or if they're perpetually wigging out down there
Probably the least scary shark ever lmao.
Are those rowes of white dots the cells that can detect electricity? She looks like the night sky filled with stars. 🤩
That's wild!
Your bait prongs stabbed into her. I'm sure her immune system can handle it but is there way you could design that to cut down on injury?
"Stabbed into" is dramatic and incorrect. She even rubbed up against the prongs and it never broke skin, there is no blood, so im not sure what you're worried about. They survive with literal shark bites doing an immense amount more pressure than a gentle bite on prongs. Our skin is not the same as theirs, it likely never broke any skin during this entire video.
POV: You are fish
R those scares from mating?
Unlikely, i would think, since they aren't shaped like a sharks mouth and are straightish lines
Probably from a squid
I'd probably be ok diving around that if I didnt get crushed in the first place
Wao, I never observe a cooper shark in life. Despite that in the Caribbean, we have those. Very lucky 🎉. That shark has strange marks, do you know from what?
Sharks often have scars because of the violent nature of their lives in the ocean, including battles with other sharks during mating, fights over territory, injuries from struggling prey like seals or sea lions, and sometimes even encounters with human-made objects like boat propellers or fishing gear.
Bon appétit !
Theu can have their home, I'll stay at mine 🙏
That's a 150 Year old shark
So cool, so beautiful
