      depends on the species of shark, i would never stand there next to groups of bull sharks like that, nurse sharks I am pretty unconcerned about and some other timid ones. Some people live next to the sea and make their living from the ocean so we don't have as much choice. But still more people get taken by things like Lions, Wolves, Bears, Tigers in places where people live in proximity to those animals.

    "Two things went wrong..." 1: You are made of meat, and you chose to get in the water with sharks. 2: Sharks eat meat.
    It always makes me wonder whether it's ego-driven pontification, wishful thinking, or a mixture of the two that makes wildlife presenters so eager to declare that sharks only bite humans when they "get confused", as if we're so intrinsically special that we couldn't POSSIBLY be viewed as a handy food source by a huge marine predator intentionally. They speak as if they are certain that if "the shark only knew we were humans, it wouldn't DREAM of devouring us!"
    I don't think for a minute that we humans are anywhere nearly so special to the other creatures with whom we share the biosphere as we are to ourselves. No, sharks don't single us out as their main prey items, because we don't normally live in their environment, however, if we are stupid enough, or unfortunate enough, to end up sharing the water with them, then we are just as legitimate a target as any seal, fish, ray, or what have you. We are made of meat. Sharks eat meat. It is just that simple. No amount of privileged insider knowledge about the latest theories on shark behaviour will ever make them safe swimming companions for people.
    Want to avoid becoming shark food? Stay out of the bleeding water. There is no mystery to this reality.

    • @nudgeunit
      @nudgeunit ปีที่แล้ว

      It comes from a conservation culture that was born out of sharks being put at risk of extinction by people killing them en masse and being afraid of them.
      The conservationists decided to go full Shark Public Relations mode to improve the image of sharks in the minds of normies, so that normies would support the cause of shark preservation.
      Now it's just what you might call the "politically correct" attitude about sharks. It's how polite society talks about sharks. It's how Shark Experts talk about sharks.
      You may notice this same phenomena (reality denial, rose coloured glasses, giving the benefit of doubt despite all evidence, "don't believe your lying eyes" hot-takes) taking place in other areas of modern life as well.

      I just roll my eyes when I hear the tired old mantra of “ sharks don’t eat humans, they just mistake them for seals “. Big Bull Sharks and Great Whites are apex predators and all sorts of prey have been found in their stomachs. A hungry shark wants to eat. The primary determining factor is available food sources and opportunity. I’m not a shark but if I’m extremely hungry I’ll eat a hotdog even though I would prefer a ribeye steak 🥩. It’s all about survival.

      Despite the fact that the average amount of world wide attacks per year is not even in the triple digits, you've come to this conclusion because...you just know better?
      I guess it's true. Stupid can't be fixed.

A mile to my south, a retiree was in the habit of jumping off his dock and swimming every morning in the bay. A few years ago, his jump into the bay interrupted a feeding bull shark and it bit him in half.

      Nearly 50 years ago when I was in college I spent a summer doing an internship at a facility along the Mississippi coast and my then wife and I stayed in the Hercules employee fish camp located on the Pascagoula (Singing) River. The camp was inland a short distance from the location that the river dumped into the Gulf and at the camp's boat docks shrimpers and fisherman would clean their catch and throw the guts and shells, etc into the water.
      I would get out nearly every afternoon and swim across that river and I never had any idea that a shark would be or could be found in that water. Had I known I wouldn't have dipped my toe in the thing.
      During our stay Pascagoula sponsored a fishing rodeo so we drove over one afternoon to see what had been hauled out of the depths. There were plenty of sharks to be seen, including a Tiger that was probably 12-14' long.

    These Bull Sharks for me seem to have come out of no where. I grew up as a child fishing with Dad & Uncles & brothers & felt I heard all there was about sharks, grey nurse, bronze whaler, hammerhead. I think I was in my teens when I heard of the Great White Shark and only in the past 15 years or so the Bull Shark suddenly becomes a very prevalent shark. I’m 69 now.
    Watching this towards the end I recall some 25 approx years ago being on the end of bait nets (60 ft long) after dark!!!!! And further back almost 40yr ago dragging the bait nets in the Burnett River again after dark. At these times I had not heard of the Bull Shark, maybe I’m lucky to still have my arms n legs (or life)!!!! 🦈🦈🦈

      We often catch Scalloped Hammerheads here on the east coast of South Africa and they are incredibly delicate, especially the juveniles. To ensure that they don't die we have to get them back in the water as soon as possible. The other species like Blackspots, Milkys, Smoothounds, Spinners etc are fairly robust but Hammerheads are definitely not. I agree that the Hammerhead in this video was probably killed by the trauma of being netted and being unable to swim. On a side note, it is crazy irresponsible for a "shark science" documentary to encourage people to touch or tickle or try and flip a shark over.....

    I love when people claim to be experts on sharks. I love how they tell you that sharks have amazing senses, and then in the next sentence say that most attacks are mistaken identity. Just like this guy there are a lot of people who think they have apex predators figured out.
    How many of these self proclaimed experts have been severely disabled, or killed by all types of predators? Let’s just use common sense. Shark are carnivores. We are made out of meat. There are too many cases of sharks completely consuming a person, or returning again and again to eat off of a victim. This guy just literally said that tiger sharks accidentally eat people. That is one of the dumbest remarks I have ever heard. Tiger sharks do not mind eating people at all. I promise that. There is a woman who takes videos of herself, swimming with huge sharks. She is going to end up like the Bear man, and countless others who thought they had a bond with predators. These so-called experts are getting people killed. Shark attacks happen more often than we realize. When I was 18, I saw an old man get attacked by a 10 foot bull shark. It returned over and over taking large bites. It literally ate him in half. These guys standing in the water with all of these bull sharks are not intelligent. Play stupid games…win stupid prizes.

    I will never understand when they always say “attacked by accident” or “eaten by accident”. No, no it wasn’t an accident. It is an apex predator. It may want something with more fat like a seal, but we humans will be just fine to eat if the shark is hungry enough. People think sharks are just misunderstood little puppies that really want hugs and kisses. Stop applying human thoughts and emotions onto animals! People will watch this and think it safe to go near these dangerous animals.

One day after a rainy, surfy spell we went into the Salt River Bay, or Arawak Bay, not one of the prime destinations, but handy and as yet unexplored by us. Near zero visability, we got out after a few minutes. The Salt River flows down through a developed area of the island, and effluent around river mouths attracts bull sharks, as it does around the world. Nothing bad happened, but something told me nothing good could come of staying in. Anyone seen bull sharks around St. Croix?

    I live on the Atlantic coast of Florida. I’ve come to learn that with most sharks, when they bite a human it’s usually a single exploratory strike to see if your edible. I’ve been bumped countless times by blacktips and a few lemon sharks while fishing waist deep in the surf and at least so far they’ve never attempted a bite. Bull sharks are a completely different story. Once a Bull attacks, it’s going to press the attack, and once they find a consistent food source, including humans, they will claim that territory and actively hunt them. Living where I do, it is uncommon to go to the beach and NOT see tourists blissfully ignoring their kids while they play in the surf. While I normally take great care in releasing other sharks when I catch them, I kill every Bull I catch. I’ve hooked a dozen or so over the past 4-5 years, most of them in less than four feet of water, and the thought of releasing one to have it maul or kill someone’s kid is more than I can bear. Can I say I’ve prevented an attack? Nope, but I can say that these sharks that were feeding in an area overwhelmingly used by swimmers and surfers both young and old, definitely won’t be attacking anyone.
