Went swimming at ocean isle beach one year and something bumped into my leg. I was up to my neck in the water couldn’t feel the bottom and whatever it was felt solid. Later that day there was a huge shark spotted in that exact area and I just haven’t felt the urge to get back into the ocean since then 🤣
That’s called a come to Jesus, you know it was the same massive shark! There aren’t that many in that area for it to be a different one. It probably circled you for an hour before it bumped you to say hi 😮
Where was this?
@@dianasworld3015 they literally said where it was
I used to live in both Gulf Shores and nearby Orange Beach. I knew someone who was attacked in ankle-deep water. There are many, many attacks that never make it on the news
I was in thigh high water and splashing to attract dolphins that were off in the distance. A shark circled me and breached right along side of me. I snapped a picture and got the fin. I never ever went back into the ocean. I thought I was safe in such shallow water.
It is amazing that there aren't many more shark attacks everywhere. So many ppl enter the sea & show no caution at all.
There’s more than two shark attacks a year in AUstralia, hearing of a shark attack on the news here is a normal thing to hear
@@mjamo7361funnn
Because sharks don't actively hunt or like Humans. Its usually murky water and/or mistaken identity. Hence, why most attacks are bite and release and not consumptions. If they wanted to eat us, they know where we hang out.
It’s a huge world covered in water so in comparison not really …
@@mjamo7361that's what I hear. Is it mostly tourist who get bitten?
I was nearly eaten by a big tiger shark when I was 16 it snuck up on me while snorkelling, I was on the bottom looking at coral in about 3m of water I needed to come up for air and it was right in front me coming head first and turned when I made eye contact the force of it turning pushed me in the water very scary never been in water since I’m nearly 40
Wow 😯
As terrifying as the experience was do you ever look back and feel glad that you were a witness to such an amazing and feared animal.
😂😂😂 yup that cured you
So glad you survived!
Whoa..close call does this event no justice!!
So scary.....never been back since??
Yeah sounds like a good idea... something I would do for sure as well!
Glad to hear your okay friend 👍👍👍
I spent my summers swimming in the Atlantic without a care in the world, until I saw Jaws. That was it for me.
Ditto!!! 😂

shame totally fictitious
My sentiments exactly 💯
Same here.
To avoid being attacked by sharks, don’t go to the beach at dawn or get out of the water by evening, these are the time when sharks prey on fish. Surfing is tempting at these time period so surf at your own risk.
When I was on a vacation in Egypt we always went snorkeling when the sun was coming out and then once in the afternoon and we came out of the water when it was already getting dark. The lifeguard always screamed at everyone to get out. I've spent like 4 hours snorkeling every day and never encountered a shark anyway, you should avoid swimming or surfing at that time but even of you don't the chance of you encountering a shark is still very low. I can guarantee that it didn't feel so safe when it was almost dark and the lifeguard was screaming at people to get out and I was still a kinda far from shore hah. I've seen a turtle with a pretty big shark bite on its shell but that's it. Murky water is what makes it the most dangerous in my opinion, the shark goes out to hunt but barely sees anything. I doubt a tiger shark would attack me just because I'm snorkeling at the time when the shark hunts, they're usually just curious.
@@xtherealestWhat? Sharks have tremendous eyesight and sensors.
The whole mistaken identity attack is largely nonsense. An alpha predator with amazing sensors doesn't usually make mistakes.
Most attacks are territorial. They don't want you there.
It's made up BS about mistaken identity so people don't blame the shark.
Because the majority of humans are low IQ, they need to be lied to.
Sharks, just like lions, tigers, bears etc are just doing what they do. No need to hate an animal.
Or don’t go into warm ocean water 😂😂😂😂😂
Why is this funny? It's a part of many lifestyles and also an economic lifeblood for many people and countries.@@IndigoBellyDance
A lot of shark attacks happen mid-morning, midday, and afternoon and close to shore.
I have never believed the dawn/dusk murky water narrative. They will attack whenever the opportunity presents, and the time of day doesn't matter to the shark.
Newsflash!!!! Sharks live in the ocean. If you go in the ocean with them, they may bite you. You can use same logic for Bears in the woods, snakes in the desert……..etc. hope this helps.
It wont. Shark bites generate fear and fear sells.
"I've still got people in town call me "Shark-Bait"", got me, lol. There was pain there
Why isnt there something swimmers can carry to ward off a shark. Similar to how there is bear spray to ward off bears...imma come up with an idea and present it on shark tank 😂
A shef-jawaga has been rumored to be effective.
I was out fishing with my dad, deep sea fishing, and I was sitting on the bow dangling my feet in the water with a drop line between my legs. Unknown to me my dad had been hanging the catch over the side.
I am enjoying myself and I hear my dad yell for me to get my feet out of the water there are sharks I look down and there is a big ole shark right there. if he had bitten he would have got me believe me I moved as fast as I could.
I wish I knew what kind it was he was probably 6 or 7 ft with what I refer to as a Mackrel-colored back. It scared me. They actually had a feeding frenzy on the fish it was wild and very scary.
Evidence shows that the worst time to get into the ocean is before and after a storm and at dusk and night. But after all that I have learned, there's no good time for getting into the ocean!
you're right yes
I never understood how fishermen can fish right beside swimmers...most of the time its swimming children....just don't get that. Should be separated
I totally agree.
Here in Kenya 🇰🇪 crocodiles are the ones swallowing people whole
Crocs are some of the only aquatic animals that actively hunt humans . Since they love to eat big mammals, so we're nothing to them.
@@jacobbarre3618they don’t intentionally hunt humans. They’re opportunistic feeders.
@@mclarencroft they've been documented staking out spots where villagers go to do their laundry. I'm not saying they're gunning for humans , but they have no problem taking down anything that goes by the waters edge ( within reason )
@@mclarencroftso, Gustave (if that was his name, been a min) don't exist to yall? 😂 that croc ate humans for fun, he's dead now but i would not be shocked if he got on his back 2 legs and got to really swinging 😭
Them and hippos probably!
who gets attacked by a bull shark and then returns back to the exact same location and runs back in to the sea up past your head with NO SHARK PROTECTION? A fool. 👀
That was attacked by a bull shark😢
If you listen it sounds like he contradicted himself..Shark bait said "The first year back we ran into the water and went over our heads" Than in the next breath Shark bait said "That year Mom freaked out she would only let us go in to our ankles" Did I misunderstand Shark bait?
Why ? Do you think that the shark is waiting there for the guy to come back so he can finish him off ?
Umm?? Only one fool species I can think of is human..
Sometimes you gotta face your past conquer it
I lived in Gulf Shores for 10 years and caught a 5ft bull shark 🦈 in the canal between GS and Orange Beach! I used to swim in the Gulf but not since I was bumped into by a large unidentified shark! It used to be a hidden paradise now everyone comes here for vacation in the Summer and the beaches are filled with food for the sharks! Still odd that Dolphin Island and Orange Beach doesn’t have near as many shark attacks!
Dauphin Island and Orange Beach have a lot less swimmers as well.
All that suntan oil must be a singnal to sharks! Suntan oil and person smell is just the call to the wild.
What did the unidentifiable shark look like?
I’ll stick with swimming pools, thank you! I still love sharks but will leave them to their own habitat. 🦈💕
Dr. Dan is so cool. I love the way he breaks this down intelligently yet understandable to a non doctors.
I'm sorry but I have two phobias spiders and sharks. I will confess that before the movie Jaws I would swim in the Pacific ocean. As a child and young adult. Now it's like, no boat is big enough!! 😆
Please keep posting episodes of when sharks attack!! 😊😊👍🏼
It is my experience that the best time for people to go swimming, surfing or partake in any other type of water sport is in the early morning or at dusk. Also, you do not want to swim in gin clear water and it’s preferable that there is limited visibility, and try to create as much “splashing” and erratic movement as possible. Thank you for your time and reading this post, and I hope it helps.
Signed “Bruce” - your well known friend from the film jaws.
And make yourself as smelly as possible with suntan oils and creams oh and go out further than anyone else.
A message from an Australian non swimmer, who used to be a swimmer!
And make sure to go absolutely alone...farrrrr out in the deep..🤭😅
And salt water is really good for fresh cuts. Helps with healing. Don't have to worry about a deep cut on ur foot if u dont have that foot anymore
Oh Lord....I TRULY HOPE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY JOKING GUYS. BECAUSE WTF ????? 😱
@@pumpkinpuna4087 Joking about what?
signed - Bruce.
Did anyone really need an experiment to tell them that adding a bunch of fresh water to salt water dilutes the saltiness of the salt water? That seems so obvious.
There's more shark attacks than you know! So many don't get published because the locals don't want the tourists knowing that people are being attacked. It would cause people not to want to go there for vacation!
I watched a show that said they don’t always report shark attacks from spearfishing, shark feeding, etc. because the human initiated the interaction and it’s considered a provoked attack. I don’t care! It’s still a shark attack.
Watching so many shark docs and attack vids . You see how close they come in so often. Especially those HUGE Great Hammerheads hunting rays literally a foot from shore . But that’s what they do
I always thought before it’s safe as long as your no further than waist deep but in reality it seems most attacks are
Close to shore 😳
Sharks aren't monsters, they're portrayed like every shark that sees a human attacks immediately, when in reality sharks are around us way more often than we know because we only ever hear about the attacks. We don't hear about the thousands of times every year that sharks swim around humans and never make contact. We only ever hear about the attacks, which are mostly one bite attacks, which are curiosity bites. Sharks don't have good sight, so they feel things with their mouths. Humans aren't sharks normal prey though, we are WAY too bony. They usually only bite us when they think we are an injured sea animal, probably a seal or turtle. They don't see us as prey when they fully see us, they're just very curious creatures who have a disgustingly horrible reputation because of totally inaccurate portrayals in media. It's really sad, I wish more people would take the time to learn about sharks and see them for the beautiful animals they are❤ I hope you watching videos has helped any fear you had of sharks, since usually fear is from the unknown. I was super scared of sharks before I started watching a couple shark behavioral specialists, and now that fear morphed into respect and love❤
Hammerheads have the smallest mouth of all not really dangerous than other sharks.
@@AKbaby89I have to laugh at this, im sorry. They feel with their mouths lmao yup they just meant to tickle someone and oppsie there goes a leg or arm lolololol
'Thats what they do' says it perfectly.
Sharks have been bad in Gulf Shores since the 70's. I had a close encounter when I was just 8yrs old. I've been back several times but I don't get in the ocean
right every single time ive been at gulf shores ive encountered a shark. they swim right along the beach
the fish are always so happy to see you as they seem to be smiling.
That scar he has must be a great story...best survivor tattoo
This is why I go further into Florida , destin , Florida the water is crystal clear
Keep an eye out for the bulls. They can get feisty and are known for removing body parts along this coast as well as killing a tourist at Miramar Beach in Destin
This is why I don’t go into ocean 😆
theres sharks in florida
@@jacobbonebreak3588 yes but at least there u can see em coming
Yes i live near gulf shores , but we drive over to Destin though ,, just for this reason ! Crystal clear water ,, see them coming 😆
The ocean is another world we do not belong in. People who swim in the ocean are begging for tragedy.
Thank God he’s still alive. God really blessed him and watch out for him. So much worse.
As a reminder: Every time you enter into the ocean you become part of the food chain…..
Facts
AND you are at the bottom of the food chain... From St Simons Island.
no you don,t😉😤
No you don't.
Not all the time.
She is saying that the shark attacks are coinciding with the “summer months”.. Forgive my ignorance, but do many people swim in the non-summer months? 🤔
Well the United States is huge with different climates in different states. People from the Northeast often vacation in Alabama or Florida and they're used to much colder waters. I'm thinking that you probably see tourists in the water almost year round, if not very many.
@@Justicia007 Just a question.. in your reply, are you assuming or thinking that I am from a year-round warm climate?
@@msgypsyqueen The answer had nothing to do with where you personally live. Just pointing out that the definition of summer months differs depending on where you live.
People here will swim into late September and October sometimes. The water here stays warm pretty late into the year. It's the air that cools off too much for it to be comfortable.
2006 my grandma family flew me and 2 kids my aunt was taking care of out there. They took us to this beach so kid and jumped on floaties we floated pretty far out there, something kept nugging our floaties it was the type you lay flat on. I kept seeing something thinking string ray, jelly fish for some dumb reason or Fish. I’m starting to realize we are too far and remembering sharks, family started yelling but couldn’t hear them but saw them. I’ve always loved sharks and remembered to not splash, splashing makes sharks think injured prey. Idk if it was a shark or not but it still makes me wonder
That was stupid, but not because of sharks. You can easily get caught up in a current and pulled out far fairly quickly. When in the ocean, you need to stay no further than you are able to swim from the shore. You could also easily fall off a raft and they're difficult to climb back onto in water you can't stand up in, that is moving and may have waves. And if you're 8n a current when you fall off, you may get pulled out or under before anyone notices. Have fun but use good sense, be safe and be careful.
i live in alabama. once i was swimming in a river with brackish water. couldn’t see the bottom, nor could i reach it when i dove down because i was out of breath. had fun until on the way back they told us they’ve seen bull sharks there before
Bull sharks are pretty much anywhere, it there's a river that connects to the sea and the water temperature suits the bull sharks they're going to be there. The rivers often have brown water and that just makes it harder for the bull shark to see and it can mistake someone for it's prey. But if you're close to shore and you get bitten it's going to be just fine. It's going to hurt like crazy but with a couple stitches you'll be okay, the problem comes in when you're not that close to shore and have to swim back. Bull sharks are agressive and once they start the attack they probably won't stop until you get out of the water. Be careful, it's a 1 in a milion chance you'll get attacked but the chance is always there
Try to make friends with the Orca pods in the region. You'll be fine.
When humans take from the ocean sometimes the ocean decides to take back.
Despicable, disgusting..

Guess love never dies, including love for the beach. The same place you were bitten by a shark...... 😅😅😅
Something large bumped me at the Outer Banks in the late 1990’s. I swam like a maniac back to shore. I never swam in deep water again
There are more rivers here down south than anywhere and our rivers lead south to the Gulf , and the baitfish are plentiful , plus bull sharks can travel in those rivers near the gulf , with so much bait and wildlife the sharks are only going to get worse , shark populations have now rebounded and they are only going to go up
Did you see the guy who thought putting his hand in the Everglades water and was immediately not in the hand
By a Bull Shark and was pulled o er into the water!
Rivers are clear but still have Apex Predators
@@ItsJustD1975 yes I did , thank you , crazyyyy
@@ItsJustD1975 I caught a lady fish in the Pearl River , Louisiana, it swallowed the hook , so it was dead and bleeding , so i through it back in the water and when I did I saw the shark come up and ate it , a big shark too
Only at certain places, there's places where sharks used to be and they're fished out. But indeed in some places it will only increase and tbh it's good, if people are afraid of sharks then don't swim in their waters, it's their territory, sharks are very important for the ecosystem, the more sharks the better for the wildlife.
Historically, swimming has been considered something people do only when totally necessary to avoid drowning. It wasn't until the 20th century that people began to swim for pleasure.
Fishing, on the other hand, has always been a popular activity.
With that said, I think fishing should be given more consideration than swimming. If you don't want to be attacked by a shark, stay out of the ocean. Problem solved.
But humans don't need to eat fish.
@@mehitabel1290 Fish is part of a well-balanced diet. Humans definitely don't need to go swimming. So like I said, fishing should be given more consideration.
@@yankeetherebelFish is not necessary to human health.
I wonder why , they they haven’t use shark nets on that beach
I got bit by a jelly fish in the Atlantic ocean and it was no joke. Don't f with the ocean cause it'll get ya.
Jellyfish bite?! I thought they only stung wait a mf min
@@SoftGvibes same thing sting or bite . Wtf ! Think about it
@@CLE4LIFE420 a bite and a sting are actually different 😭

"I got attacked by a shark I went back to where the shark attacked me and swam out into deeper water" This guy isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. He's a Darwin award top contestant!
Lol he was just a child at the time.
Then he sadly states how the town gave him the nickname “shark bait”. It’s like bro they could have called you way worse 😂.
The shark attack capital of the world is Florida but you have to remember, it's not always greatwhites tigers or bulls, other smaller species can still do allot of damage but generally not life threatening.
Mako sharks 😭 such a pretty color but look vicious asf
Anything in, on or around the water is FOOD. That's how sharks have survived for millions of years.
Not really. They are kind of lazy predators. Anything small and made of flesh yes
Nat Geo needs to hire Eva for longer, extended episodes. This is fantastic.
i remember i went shark cage diving for the first time and the sharks were super chill and amazing! the company i did it with said the sharks were attracted to the boat motor noises because it signaled potential fishing boat. I know other companies that use chum to attract the sharks which I felt was a bit unfair to the sharks.
It’s not just unfair to the sharks, it’s extremely dangerous
@@alisonleigh100in the cage I don’t think so
Not impressed
@@simonev97It teaches sharks to associate boats and humans with food.
Gets bitten by a shark… next year goes to the same spot 😒
Honestly, I feel like the chances of getting bit by a shark, in the same spot, only a year later, are pretty low.
Why can't selected beaches be protected by solid obstacles, such as (construction) steel nets? There is no danger for the marine life.
I believe ethical implications of doing that prevent it from being done. Would probably mess with the ecosystem and what marine life would naturally do.
A shark speaks with others, "So where can we get some good food?
"Gulf Shores.", the others say.
There’s always going to be some people who are going to put themselves in dangerous situations
I painted my stairs black and found it difficult to keep looking clean. Also the staples are showing through your jute which I also had a problem with. Not sure how to remedy this. You were smart to use double sided tape. My installer also glued the carpet runner as well as staples. What a mess when we removed the runner.
Your designs are very smart. Looking forward to seeing the finished kitchen.
Yeah you must be commenting on something totally unrelated to this video😂
Wtf? 😂
😂😂
There is Great Whites in the Gulf , plenty too
And they are Orca food
The main reason people are attacked by sharks is they are in between the sharks and the fish
Well how can you fix that..
My ex's dad got flipped by a shark gunning for a fish. No injuries besides his pride most likely
Waist deep water
Mouths of water is what caused the new Jersey shark appearances
Lived thete for 13 years. Never saw one shark attack. Daytona Beach , however is shark bite capital of east coast.
Attacks are still very rare if you can even call these an attack just small sharks unintentionally biting a human in their leg or foot and with a couple stitches they're going to be just fine.
Went swimming off Pebble Beach in Crescent City. Ca. about 5 meters from the beach, roughly 7-10 feet deep. We were swimming back toward the beach, when a few fur seals showed up, once they started grouping near us it was time to gtfo of the water, we witnessed a predation happen in the same area in which we had been swimming 3 minutes after hitting the sand.
Laughs at American's worrying about sharks in Australian 😂😂
These are such quality documentaries! A breath of fresh air after the nonsense "documentaries" on the discovery channel!
that guy was super lucky for such minor injuries if it was a bull shark
So many stories of ppl being attacked by sharks always seems to be during the worst times to swim. Then baffled about why it happened
I remember being at the beach about chest high in water and something big bumped me I felt down and felt something smooth. Fish or shark I don’t know but I haven’t been deeper than knee high since.
I found out that bull sharks like to show you that they are strong and powerful because I had one just come up close to shore to take my bait and hook and take off like a rocket and pull all the line off my fishing reel in Florida so I really believe they attack to show how powerful they are when they make these attacks because it really made my reel sound like a gun went off taking all the line off the reel and I felt the power a bull shark have and it's dangerous to be playing or swimming in the water in their world 🌎 they live in because they ready to attack and prove they have power to kill.
I am a Fisherman, don't go in the water!
I have gone to OC maryland every year for 32 years and I swim out far every year. You can't be scared if it happens it happens. I'm going to live my life not in fear I love swimming in the ocean.
Don’t have to tell me twice . 😂
Sounds like you have been throwing rocks at death for 32 years @@Shenduanr
@karastevens129 not everyone is flamboyant as you are
I live here in OC Maryland I am 56 and have hardly ever seen or heard of a shark attack.
"I've never been worried or concerned that there were possibly some sharks in the Gulf.." Possibly sharks? Lady , it's the ocean! Guaranteed they are there. Why do people always get so shocked about animal attacks when WE go into THEIR territories!?!?
That fish tank water salinity experiment was weak. It would of been closer to accurate if you added a pin drop of fresh water to a swimming pool of sea water.
Love how she uses as many posistive describing words in a single sentence as sharkly possible 😂😂😂😂
Live bait definitely draws sharks into shore for a free meal
Who feels something bump him out of the water and keeps swiming
Caucasians
@HnICfrom60 Well yeah, monkeys don't swim
33:50 That was a very Bubba Gump moment.
Stop it 💀🤣
Me too Jaws was so scary
Absolutely ridiculous to say that increased rainfall in the summer has anything to do with the attacks. Rainfall increases everywhere during the rainy season aka summer. What would be the causation between salinity and the attacks? Pure nonsense
I wonder if any of these scientists ever considered the reason for shark attacks is because your in there territory 🤣 🤣.
I really hate the new nature shows. It's all about attacks and gore. They don't attack much, very rare. You just think everyone is jaws. Crazy. They're beautiful animals. We got beta dad complaining sharks are being a shark
That's what gets the views, unfortunately. Especially in American television.
I was bitten by Tiger shark it’s not funny🎉🎉🎉😢
Trention was only 5 and he didnt even shed a tear..what a tough little guy
Trenton story, ..."LARGE shark"??????? C'mon. Didn't even bite through a child's foot???? 🙄
You can even see the size of the jaws from the bite marks. Just a baby.
It could have though
Trenton I hope you are doing well , kind soul !!!
So happy he survived! Very traumatic.
Excuse me I believe his name is “shark bait” 😂
Where there are more swimmers, statistically speaking, there will be more human-shark interactions. Hope our tax dollars did not fund the in depth "scientific" study that came to this conclusion.
People KNOW fill well that there are sharks.
Why do sharks attack??? Hmmmm could it be because they are SHARKS???
Exactly!! But they don't attack humans, it's that when we swinm, we move like seals and they think we are seals.
@@abarzua21able 🙄🙄 So if you believe in that theory then you HAVE to admit that the experts who push that have been talking out both sides of their mouths. In one breath they tell us that sharks are at the TOP of the evolutionary success ladder, and have changed VERY LITTLE to survive so SUCCESSFULLY as they have over the millions of years. They tell us sharks are perfect machines. Then out of the other side of their mouths they basically tell us that sharks are too inept and their senses FAIL, which leads to sharks not having keen enough senses to tell the difference between a SEAL AND A HUMAN!!! Its absolutely ridiculous! Seals are part of sharks regular prey. They KNOW what a seal looks, smells, moves like……..and they simply are NOT confusing humans with their regular prey! To be honest, this has been an agenda for decades designed to help all the tourist/vacation resorts when there are attacks. When an attack happens, then one of these experts gets paraded out onto the news to tell us that poor dumb shark thought the person was a seal 🙄🙄 …….it’s a narrative that is to keep these vacation spots from losing revenue. That’s it! If you join/view regular shark channels (for the shark enthusiasts like me) you will find most pushing the very thing that I’m pushing here with you. Nobody is buying the “sharks senses fail “ theory anymore.

Hello 👋
Gulf shores , orange beach .. dauphin island are the only beaches in AL aren’t they ???
"They have fallen on top of sharks and this is really concerning..." bro it is almost like the sharks live in the ocean...
$590 Shark Shield Technology or $790 No Shark…
It's the ocean, you swim, you get bit, your gamble.
Amazing vid
406 that's exactly why I want those lighthouses out there with the whole protection and advocacy unit self-contained and we could be feeding those fish way offshore where we aren't swimming and then they won't be coming. Inland looking for food so we have both the onshore and the offshore rigging
Oops the shark says thought u was a seal .no no no they will eat u and enjoy you
Yeah chlorine pools for me too
Alabama has 52,419 square miles, with 607 miles of beaches. Of course shark attacks are in one area. It’s not like our whole border is on the Gulf.
Sharks smelled blood.
Yet another reason not to go to Alabama
I know this may seem cruel, but there’s something funny about someone kicking and screaming for help in 1 ft deep water. 😂 oh and with a baby shark hanging off her foot.
I’m allowed to make jokes. I was attacked too when scuba diving. I would of died if my amigo didn’t tourniquet my leg just before I blacked out.
So many ppl got eaten this year from Alabama 😢😢😢
The *only* reason most of Alabama’s shark attacks occur near Gulf Shores is that on the **tiny** outlet to the ocean that is Alabama’s “coastline,” Gulf Shores is the *sole* significant population center.
I understand that millions of people enjoy swimming and playing in the ocean. I did it as a kid myself. But when you actually put this into perspective.
You are risking your life, not just from sharks, but also barracuda, Portuguese Manowar, ( which I have been stung by on several occasions as a child. But thankfully I'm not allergic to it's venom. ) , and thanks to the saltwater aquarium hobbyists. There are Lion fish, stone fish, ( no antidote and you will die an excruciating death within minutes of a sting.), box jellyfish, sea snakes, and several other animals. All just to enjoy a recreational activity.
And as climate change worsens. And the coastal waters heat up. Species like the deadly Box Jellyfish can migrate to new areas and Marine Biologist have determined that the warmer temperatures are causing an increase in shark attacks on humans.
So the worst is yet to come. If you check out the drone shark footage you will see just how many sharks are sharing the water with swimmers and surfers. There are going to be a lot more dead children because people are inherently stupid and ignorant.
Yep, will stick to swimming pools
Yes swimming in a swimming park or a own swimming pool is good
Don’t let anyone tell you that sharks don’t eat people. Once you enter the water, you become part of the food chain and you are no longer at the top. Most shark attacks are NOT mistaken identity. Sharks have hundreds of millions of years to perfect their hunting and their sensory organs. They can differentiate between the pulses we put off in the water (which would be unusual to them) and pulses that fish or other prey may put off. There have been so many attacks where witnesses say that the shark swam right past them or several other people and targeted someone else. They are extremely intelligent, more than some give them credit for. I’ve been studying attacks now for a few years and you would be surprised. Again, sharks eat people. Imagine if you had tried to catch a meal for weeks. And you missed every time or it got away. Seals get away from great whites about 50% of the time. Then they see a human. A slow moving, lanky thing on the surface of the water creating electric pulses in the water with movement and heart beat…they know it would be a sure thing. They’re going to go for it. I personally believe that very few shark attacks are mistaken identity.
Your theory is correct we are nature no mistake after animals figure what is messing nature up they will attack on purpose
Shark warning! Most attacks happen in clear water!!!
Well better start doing something else for leisure time 😂😂😂😂
