To address the orca in the room as well as few other things which have popped up in the comments ...
Yes, Great Whites certainly share the spot as apex predators with a bunch of animals, like other sharks, Sperm Whales, Orcas and other toothed whales. This, however, doesn’t mean that they aren’t apex predators. There have of course be instances where Orcas have killed Great Whites - which obviously isn’t a problem for them given their size and that they hunt in large groups - but they are usually not a typical prey item for them.
I originally had acknowledged orcas in the script but including "together with orca" or something like that every time I talk about sharks as apex predators just sounded dull.
One interesting thing about this, which I wanted to include but then had to cut out because of time restraints (I didn’t want to go another month without uploading), is that Great Whites are actually very afraid of orcas - which would've I think fit great in the narrative that sharks aren’t mindless killing machines. Great Whites have been observed to quickly leave an area when Orcas show up and they usually don’t return for up to year.
So Orca fans cut me some slack - this video was about sharks - I will make a video for you too in the future.
Another albeit less controversial point was the one about the bite force. This is based on an article of the BBC (the fifth one in the description). In that article you can read - which most people commented - that the saltwater crocodile is the current record holder for the strongest measured bite force on the planet. However, computer models based on the jaw structure and muscles suggest that Great Whites probably have an even stronger bite although nobody has measured that yet in the wild. That’s why I said “possibly the strongest bite force”.
That’s about it for now. If you have any more issues you can post them below and I will respond.
Facts in Motion I never trusted Horses!!
;)
The tonality is preceived to be agressive in my view....
a few things that would have been nice but first let me say you are making insanely good vids and i think the vid its allready good enough to be on one the best vids i saw about sharks.with that out of the way let´s start 1. sharks can turn the teeth (can´t find it rn would need to look if you want the source) 2. may add ahuman as conperison to the senses 3. include the fact that there are sharks "shows" where tourists let locals attract sharks with blood and fishes (may be a reason for attacks and also be a good thing to point out to not support that or just with caution) 4. add a calorie comparison by the seal exsample at lastly the biggest thing bullshark and great whites got nealry the same bite marks (complettly not sure where i got that from but i will find it if you need it) lorenzinian ampoules
can detect temp. as well. aggain great vid(s) the sleeper shark vid pulled me in but all the other great vids keep me here :) keep it up
When you doing the Igneous Province 2 video? I've been dying with anticipation for it the 1st was so well made. Keep up the good work as always.
@@LiterallyWho1917 Its probably done in 3-5 weeks. Depending on how much time I have.
Who needs Jaws? I need a movie about those killer snails.

This is a evil idea....

I watch Jaws
"It is this curiosity that makes them dangerous to us" That's.....rather adorable??
They're like toothy submarines with the personality of a cat.
Maybe in a couple more million years they will have evolved even further, and their pectoral fins might have turned into little T-rex arms. That way when humans enter their territory, they will no longer be bitten, but instead get molested by an inquisitive white shark. Much better!
It is not curiosity, it's hunger and YOU are just groceries.

@@ollievilair Yep, I guess people taste nasty. Must be all the crap we eat especially vegans.
10 years from now: How the movie jaws destroyed the entire ocean ecosystem
Peter Benchley, the man behind the novel "Jaws", which the movie was beased upon, felt very badly about this and was a very dedicated shark conservationist up until his death in 2006.
@ most people involved felt bad about it.
Their intention never was to demonize sharks, but to make an intense movie, which it was at the time.
Sadly, it ended up to be some kind of confirmation for killing sharks, that didn't do anything.
And hands down, even when a shark kills a human, it's never an act of hatred or anything. They don't know such concepts, they just want to eat.
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 People are fucking stupid. Think about how people move into new housing developments and turn around when a cougar, bear, or any other wild animal shows up and wants them hunted because it's disturbing their peace. They don't think about the fact that they had to destroy a million acres of homes for the animals so that they can have a luxury home.
I agree
Tessa Rossa what in the fuck are you on about?
Sharks are one of my favourite animals because they're so unique and misunderstood. I'm still terrified of them though.
they are very misunderstood and they dont want to eat divers that goes for all the sharks yes there are attacks but iv'e seen one about the red sea they explain how come the attacks if you like watch Blue World its very intersting
Unique?
How???

When snails kill more then bears,sharks and wolves
*"These are confusing times"*
They creep up on you in your sleep and eat your brains.
Non rabid wolves actually don't attack nor kill humans so I don't know where he got that statistic
John Kastello rabid wolves then? I’m pretty sure that statistic is correct though, so I’d say most of if not all of those deaths from wolves were from rabid wolves
@@HalfdeadRider 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Freshwater snails are hosts for many deadly parasites. Think of it like how mosquitoes kill so many people.
No one's going to talk about snails?
Yeah, I wondered about that too.
right!?!?! like what do we needa be looking out for!? holllay crap! they're everywhere in florida xD
Shhh. We don't talk about the snails.
I want to be a snail now I could be the most dangerous grrrr
There are a LOT of venomous snails which are easy to step on. Search for cone snails. These things be scary yo.
When a single person makes more intriguing videos than companies who specialises in documentaries.
I don't really blame the companies, they want to make money, we're the ones who consume it. Now a day it's all about the sensationalism and the drama, and we consume it like a castaway finding fresh water. Hence the over saturation with "reality" shows.
Touché! Brilliant. I’m in agreement 👍

Your videos are always of such high quality and so informative. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks for the support
I love seeing how your production quality has gone way up in recent months. Your videos are always super enjoyable and are getting better and better. Definitely worth the wait between uploads :)
And I Fall in love with the quality and education the videos give to the audience😀😀😀🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

The snails are getting more intelligent. They kill more every year, and we cannot keep up with their military prowess. The snail war has already begun.

No
@@sharky9008 Yes. Orcas are known to immobilized and tear out the livers of Great Whites. When other sharks smell it they know an Orca is nearby and flee.
@@FatherManus Only small White Shark
Sorry but Sharks arent as vicious and calculative as killer whales.
Not to mention that 'killer whale' is a mistranslation. They were initially given the nickname 'asesina ballenas' by Spanish Whalers, a term that literally means 'Whale Killer'.
It's weird how statistics say that vending machines are more likely to kill than sharks
statistics also say that you're more likely to die on the drive to the airport than on the flight itself
Statistics says lots of dumb shit. He's high on meth nearly everyday & needs an intervention. People keep quoting his dumb ass sayings all the time 🤔😉🤣
Statistics requires context
Unfortunately for the internet, context is too complicated and time consuming
@@CornoAttavo Airplanes are the safest method of transportation.Your chances of dying on a plane crash is 1 in 10 million assuming nothing is wrong with the plane. Think about it, do airplanes have stoplights they have to follow or traffic they can get stuck in?
Statistics also say you are more likely to die from a coconut then by a shark
I learned more in this 16 minutes than in 20 years of Shark Week. The explanation of how they've evolved to regulate their body temperature was so cool. And their social behaviour was completely new to me! You really covered this topic from every angle.. Excellent video!
Your animation gets more and more beautiful! Thank you for making this amazing work free to the public.
Next video needs to be about Snails... you can’t leave us hangin like that man!
He did the video th-cam.com/video/Vsp7c2ul4jc/w-d-xo.html
They are not always at the top of the food chain. There are parts of the world where they cross over into orca territory and become prey.
@arbereshe No.
Couldn’t be more wrong a pack of orcas have been documented killing great whites. Also when a pack of orcas move into an area shark sightings massively drop off. There can be two outcomes that caused this, they where eaten or the sharks relocated to ensure not having to compete for prey and to also become prey
@arbereshe orcas are bigger, stronger, smarter and more agile. They also hunt in groups
@arbereshe absolutely not. Orcas are at the very top of the marine food chain.
They're heavier, larger, and WAY smarter than a shark could ever be.
@@GumaroRVillamil not necessarily. Size doesn't equal biteforce.
Be it an orca or a great white, neither of the two would be a pleasant experience, however, orcas don't need a strong biteforce, their ability to hunt strategically is more than enough.
Great whites on the other hand, similar to crocodiles, are ambush predators, they need a high biteforce in order to kill their prey, as they aren't exactly good at hunting something over distance
When he said “one of the overlooked sense, is the sense of h- “ I really thought he would say the sense of humour

the end made me feel really sad about sharks man
so i guess that means it was a good video
if you want to help sharks and other sea life commercial fishing is the biggest problem they don't just catch cod and tuna in their nets they catch sharks dolphins and turtles and they often die when they bring the nets up kinda like the scene in Nemo, they often use illegal nets as well and use people from poorer countries to work on their slave ships promising money but hold them hostage and they often never see their families again its horrible. I stopped eating and buying fish because I cannot put my money towards horrible people destroying the ecosystem because money drives them of course
I don’t. Sharks will still kill you. They don’t not intentionally kill humans out of the goodness of their heart, they do it because they don’t want to take a risk on a new food. They do not care for you or your well-being. They will have no qualms with permanently injuring or killing you. I’m not saying we should exterminate them, but keep in mind that these creatures have no compassion. No love for you, other sharks, or anybody else.
It has always bugged me when some people try to justify their action of killing sharks with this claim: “We’re trying to keep our oceans safe.” Uh, excuse me? Sharks were swimming in those oceans long before we humans started to take the plunge. In short, that excuse doesn’t work anymore. The oceans belong to the sharks, not us.
Eh, no. Doesn't mean we should kill sharks, but the oceans don't belong to anyone, and humans using shark repellent or putting barriers around our swimming spots is perfectly normal. "Don't swim if you don't want to be bitten by a shark" is neither realistic nor helpful.
I agree and shark fine soup has no health values, no protein, or amything helpful to humans
BigMikeMcBastard I think it’s fair to say that the ocean belongs to the organisms that actually live in it, though the concept of ownership is irrelevant to most marine animals. But seriously organisms like sharks have been around for literally 425+ million years, they’ve lived in the oceans since before even the existence of amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
@@BigMikeMcBastard , I'm sure you won't agree, but I would consider fewer humans quite helpful... both to the planet and the human race as well. ( Look up some of the studies that have been done over the years concerning over-crowding. )
There was just a little over 3 billion people on this planet the year I was born. Now there's nearly 8 billion, and things have gone to shit.
It's not a coincidence.
My vote is to let the sharks eat anybody stupid enough to get in the water with 'em, if they want. ( This is coming from someone who once had plans to become a marine biologist. )
People seriously need to reign in that sense of entitlement, as well as their urge to procreate, before they don't have a fit place to live.
Oh, and leave the wildlife the hell alone, and stop chopping down every tree they see. Those things keep a stable ecosystem to support our worthless asses.
Seriously, people... read a fucking book sometime. It's amazing what you can learn.
@@BigMikeMcBastard I just don't like to swim in the sea even in 'HUMAN' Territory

This video in particular resonates as I live in Australia - Great Whites are such an important part of our ecosystem and it's essential they and other shark species are protected.
Thanks. Great to hear that you and your family enjoy my videos so much.
The fact that great whites engage in splash fights might be my favorite fact of all goddamn time.

@@gdo3510 yes but they won’t go out of their way to eat people.

A hungry animal is a hungry animal, when the SS Indianapolis sank hundreds of people got eaten alive, with the right circumstances they certainly will and i'd bet my bottom dollar you wouldn't have the stones to find yourself in front of one as confident as you right now ... These are apex predators that can be highly unpredictable and although they may not have us at the top of their food choice, without an abundance of option you may certainly find yourself on that menu if the right circumstances present themselves.

So i always hear "you are more likely to get struck by lightning than be bit by a shark" but how do the ratios compare between lightning strikes to population vs shark bites to people who have been in the ocean? Like obviously shark attacks are rare, but most people in the world never even been near the ocean
Have you ever heard of beaches? Those are filled with people.
Truth, I think some of these videos, are not showing real numbers and ratios. And possibly making people a lot less aware of sharks and taking them for granted the numbers would never be even you can’t come up with a real ratio when one group is not participating in the other event on a regular basis
Awesome video!

There are really only two sharks to actually be afraid of: The overly aggressive bull shark, and the only shark known to also be aggressive as well as doing it for actual predation: The Oceanic Whitetip, which has been attributed to deaths of many shipwrecked survivors.
Great Whites tend to bite first as a test bite, and that bite rarely uses teeth, it's mostly figuring out if something is edible. Tugging back will cause them to go into instinct mode, and bite down properly. This is where most severed limbs come from.
Been watching a lot of these vids recently, given that great Whites are intelligent, I think it's fair to say they have their own personalities too, and whilst most don't attack humans, there are some who will give a test bite, and some who are, well dicks. Some sharks that are extremely territorial and will viciously attack swimmers, and others that are so hungry, they will attack to consume as has been shown in some individual cases.
Great white Don’t see human as pray stop 🛑 making them monsters dude , But croc in the other hand is bigger , scarier and they see human as pray
after watching the movie crawl im never going anywhere near them. Because those were alligators imagine salt water crocodiles hell no fuck that.
人我是 only saltwater crocodiles will ever view a person as “prey” but only because they will literally eat anything they can kill. Fresh water crocodiles on the other hand are so docile when unprovoked that’s it is entirely possible to swim with them, as long as you do not disturb them they do not care
人我是 oh also crocodiles are both on average and on record smaller than great whites. Not by much but they are

@@ahmadfaiz4416 Tell that to the orcas. They say:

2) you don't have to kill the biggest ones -- you can wipe out the small ones and the big ones disappear automatically after a while
3) if you bite off the fins, the teeth don't matter, and if you bite out the gills, the whole fish is done, and...
4) if you don't believe us, look at what we still do to great whites anywhere, any time we like. Chomp and roll, baby; chomp and roll.
If you don't believe them, take it up with them. They seem pretty sure of themselves. The great whites also seem convinced enough that a whole population of them will flee an area if the orcas start in on them. There's even video and tag-tracking records of it happening.
I'm not saying they are telling the truth. I'm just saying they could do it, and that's how they remember it. Maybe they got the story second-hand. Still, to this day, great whites survive by staying out of Orca's way.
@@ahmadfaiz4416 That's the spirit! Analytically, you're probably right, but the way I tell it makes a good Story. It feels more alive if you imagine a current-day resident of the deep recounting the tales of their heroic ancestors.
With their huge, dense, complex, brains and oral folklore culture, maybe we can look forward to the day when some AI supercomputer can learn to talk/sing with the whales, and they tell us the tall tales of their histories in the seas.
Human culture -- even the oldest shamanic threads --- only goes back 70,000 years, and we have almost nothing left from before 12,000 years ago, just a few shadows and scribbles, handprints on a wall, unexplained pictograms of totem creatures.
Most of even our first advanced coastal culture is now under 30 meters of seawater, its evidence wearing away with the tides or forever buried in silt.
Imagine, then, the grand living literature of a continuous whale culture passed down in song for 10 million years with all the nuances and varieties that allows... that's a library I would love to wander through, if only I can comprehend its meanings :)
@@ahmadfaiz4416 ahh.. so many ways to die... and here's the funniest part: I'm currently working on boat designs to hopefully build one and go out to live on the sea. Maybe I can make an articulated kevlar plate armor scuba suit, with built-in emergency floatation device? :)
@@ahmadfaiz4416 There you go! Check back with my channel in about 2-3 years... either there will be some cool shoreline nature videos, or it will be spooky silent. In the meantime, do have fun pursuing whatever Great Dream drives you onward as well :)
Mosasaurus didn't live at the same time as megalodon, but you were right about the competition for food.
Wow, what a great video.
Now, if we could just give these fish some f****** hands, they wouldn't need to go toothing everything just to satisfy their curiosity.
Can you imagine a giant shark swimming up to you and going "hug me!" 😂
great video, lots of info thanks
Great! Love your video quality and content
