More info that was promised-
What is likely happening is that the sharks can smell the blood but it's just not in a quantity that is interesting to them especially since they don't love human blood that much (btw, I spoke with a marine biologist and mammal blood is all the same from a chemical marker stand point so cow blood is a suitable substitute for human blood). If I did the experiment again, I would want to test human blood vs. fish blood.
This is the most definitive study done to date in a control lab environment on what is least and most interesting to them: The Biology of Sharks and Rays Peter A. Klimley and Steven Oerding; ISBN-13: 9780226442495. Particularly pages 134-140. Figure 6.7; Table 6.2

Summary: I've always wanted to test if sharks can really smell a single drop of blood in the water from 1 mile away. So I went to the Bahamas in shark infested waters and set up an experiment to get to the bottom of things.

No no no u all got it wrong, da sharks are incredibly attracted
piss
it was a very interesting experiment, thanks for helping me understand sharks
The boat might have just been more interesting than the blood.
I think sharks are also attracted to movement, like if you were bleeding and panicking causing bubbles they’d be more attracted to the blood?
Yeah
Yeah but remember that mark also donated blood which means he has a fresh wound when he dived
Oh yes, definitely. That's why you shouldn't swim with your dog, they're attracted to the circular motion of the doggy paddle. It's also advised if you see a shark in the water you don't rush out because they can't see you. Most of the time in shark attacks they assume you are some type of seal, take a bite, say "oh sorry man" and swim away.

Like humans, sharks can only smell something when particles of it hit the receptors in their nose. So they couldn't smell a drop of blood from a mile away, but they could follow a trail of blood particles to its source.
Wooow, a nice fact to know, thanks 😊❤

It’d be super interesting to repeat this experiment off the beach (anchoring boards so they don’t drift back inland) without the presence of a distracting boat, where people are most concerned about shark attacks and less likely to be as shark informed as the ocean divers. Though I imagine at places like the Bahamas the scenario Mark tested on would be more common.
Also would love to see a comparison between human vs prey blood (eg tuna, seal etc). The latter would be much harder to obtain ethically.

Now repeat the experiment... with Great Whites and Tiger Sharks
LMAO them sharks don't play 😂😂😂
i agree with the great whites but weren’t there tiger sharks in this one?
Do you mean bull sharks instead of tiger sharks?
There were two Tiger sharks present. I think things would have been vastly different if a Great White or a Grey Nurse shark was present. Even worse, a hammer head. Three of the most ferocious sharks of the sea.
That's literally signing a death contract man,I wouldn't even do it at all

How is it possible that on one hand you can hear about the tragedies such as the one in Egypt, Hurghada, when a single shark near a beach over there torn apart a human probably without even provoking it and on the other hand you can see a video like this, where people calmly and peacefully swim in a shark infested area like nothing can happen to them?

Very cool and those sharks are beautiful! What I am wondering is if the sharks in that area are kinda "conditioned" by getting fed by tourists and boat or human focussed? The blood should might better be out of visual range so the sharks cant notice there is no prey. Also curious how this went with either Oceanic whitetip sharks or great whites since those are more aggressive and maybe also more sensitive to potential victims.
It would be different if there was a human in the water bleeding, the electrical signals would attract a lot of sharks as well as the blood. On the experiment side it would have been even cooler if there was some doodad that could mimic a panicking person/animal in the water.
"I don't want to be a variable in the experiment"
Sharks: b o a t
Experiment is not reliable because the sharks were more interested in the big boat where human tourists feed them.
Im going to touch the butt
Melodie Me finding dory or Nemo reference
I feel like there is one variable you didn't account for. The boat. They seemed more interested in the boat.
Good point!
Do you guys want mark to die?
Wasnt there something about the electronics on the boat or the motor or something that interacts with the sharks in some way or another?
Also there isnt really any way to test how hungry the sharks were. I'm sure a hungry shark would be way more enticed by the smell of blood than one that has already eaten earlier. Also, people tend to move around a lot on water, whereas a floating surf board will drift, but not really go anywhere, so maybe the amount of movement makes a difference too.
ok then your logo is skeletron prime and the destroyer from terraria.
imagine if the sharks just liked the surfboard
Okay.. In order to smell the blood the blood actually needs to REACH them. Likewise bears can’t smell food upwind, because the scent isn’t reaching them. If you just drop blood into the water they won’t immediately sense it’s presence magically.
Ironic that the “Pixar sits on a throne of lies” caption is during a freeze frame of blood ENTERING BRUCE’S NOSTRIL. Not just floating 50 meters away.
This is why the sharks that caught a trail followed the trail.

Dude just casually swimming the boards in with 25 sharks around him
Maybe the sharks learned from their first experience. They knew that the boards didnt have any actual meal for them
Sophie well I doubt that because it was a different type of blood and the sharks can’t see the boards because they are close to blind from what I know
They lost interest during the first experiment already, so I think it very possible they had learned not to be fooled again. Maybe if he’d waited a day, they would have checked out the human blood bags
Thats what I was thinking but I'm not sure if they have that kind of cognitive ability. Like if they can learn on that level
I thought that too
The Anonymous Cuber they learn, man....every animal learn something.
You know what would have made the experiment more legite: getting bags of all the blood types to see which ones the sharks prefer
in the description he does confirm that mammal blood is the same for all mammals chemically. It's just that a human cant pump out enough blood before dying for sharks to be interested.
That would’ve taken years to get them :/ every animal has different blood XD
FrxnchTxast iii He’s referring to blood types, O+ ,O-, A+, A-, AB+, AB-.
FrxnchTxast iii they’re talking about blood TYPES not species types lol but yknow go off sis
alisynn, there would still be no chemical difference between the blood types.
Maybe I couldn't hear if you already mentioned it but if you performed these two experiments one after suddenly another, they may have errors since they become dependent (should also ask statisticians and shark experts).
