I remember a novel I read as a kid about a family of Mexican shark fisherman, that talked about how whale sharks were a nuisance because they tore the nets. It was fiction, but it was at least partially based on reality. I wonder if the original story was something like that; a big shark causing problems with nets got embellished to sinking boats and spiraled from there. Or a couple of guys in a rowboat checking their nets got capsized, etc. Maybe they just exaggerated the story to get free drinks from tourists
Dude ive gone fishing in the Sea of Cortez with the locals not once did they mentioned the Black Demon nobody is monetizing on this myth and nobody is trying to scare away tourist with the black demon. The locals that i went fishing with werent ignorant to marine biology they literally been fishing all their life and took us to a spot where we caught like 20 fish in less than an hour. Again not once was the Black Demon mentioned i just found about it this week here on youtube.
I feel like a lot of these stories comes down to "humans are not great at estimating length" and also "humans tell tall tales because humans generally like telling stories". I think the whale shark thing is pretty likely, if it's anything, but I'd also suggest that humans in a panic (say, if they saw a massive great big fish near their boat) are crap at remembering details. My brother played a robber to teach some kids about it, and he was described as both dark skinned, light skinned, quite short and pretty tall. Someone panicking about a shark might easily misremember a great white (especially underwater) as being darker than it actually was. Add in conflicting stories from different people with different memories and hey ho, you've got a massive black shark that attacks ships! Makes for a cool story though!
loving this one, you really look genuinely tipsy and unleash the saltiness on the topic - love you man - appreciated both the the scientist and the human
My brain was going "either he is a lightweight or more likely he took a couple shots first just to handle these people pretending a spiritual legend is a real shark"
Fantastic. Hope you had as much fun making this video as we did watching it. I really appreciate how you just cut through all the rumours and speculation and just work with the facts. I really appreciate how much quality content you've been putting recently!
@@SHARKBYTES Yeah man I'll try and contact you about something in the next few weeks. Just been very behind with videos lately and need to catch up. :)
I think another idea for a drink episode would be Louisiana’s legend of the voodoo shark which was a discovery special for Shark Week a few years back. It was super cheesy and would love to see your take on it. 😆🦈🍺
I love the different shark myths and how you talk about them As always, I come with a question: Are shark really scared of bubbles from divers? Thank you for another amazing video 💖
More shark myths!! Love these. But maybe you need to cool your beer better or put it down in between, so you don't warm it up that much with your hand :P Thanks for diving into this myth. It was interesting to see your take on it :)
I had watched hours of documentries and hunts for the Black shark. You have covered it well, and proposed the ideas I have about it. There is an idea for a horror monster movie. A group of film makers are shooting a monster shark documentry with all the fake props and robot shark, but dun... dun... dun.... they are attacked and killed by a "real" mutated shark.
My theory: the black demon shark is three great whites together like something akin to three kids on each other's shoulders in a trench coat sneaking into an r rated movie
This is my new favourite series and every part of me wants to buy you an ice cold beer. Dearie me. The Aussie in me screamed when you said the Sol was warm. Worst beer to drink warm. Thanks!
I love this series. It's so hilarious. XD The black demon shark is real! Jk. 😂 I had to say it since you dared us. My thoughts: 1) interesting how after the Meg aired, so many more "sightings" of the black demon shark popped up. But yet no video footage, or quotes from fisherman are around. Hmmm... highly suspect. 🤔 2) I'm getting to the point where hearing the Meg annoys me. I can't imagine how much more frustrating it is for you. 3) I think a whale shark is probably the best match based on size. And there is some video out there where a juvenile whale shark was curious about a boat and was nudging it to see what it was. Someone not knowing any better might think the whale shark was attacking it. 🤷🏼♀️ 4) once again. When the black demon movie comes out, I will rely on you to watch it so I don't have to. Hahaha
It’s funny how you don’t want to believe that a giant shark exist but as a scientist, you believe that we one day will travel through a wormhole somewhere in space.
I think he's not just my cup of tea Alicia, and i'm not a massive fan of the claims that he's rediscovered something, even though others have definitely done it first!
@@SHARKBYTES That's fair enough, I admit I've only watched one of his episodes about discovering a distinct animal and I didn't know enough about the particular animal to know if it was legit or not. I agree with what you said about his episode on the black demon shark though.
There's plenty of Badass critters down in the depths of that Sea of Cortez. Those sizable Humboldt squid give me the creeps. Way they communicate with each other, using "internal" light shows. Saw a documentary back along where a scuba diver, covered in chain mail, dived down in the Cortez at night. Immediately surrounded by the things, like something out of Riddick's next movie. Even when caught, they remain aggressive, spraying ink etc. Reckon Black Demon's deeper down, out of the way. Are we outta Corona Kris ? 🦑
Woo!! Thanks for making another drunk shark science video. Also please another shark week watch/not watch video. It saddens me with all the crap that is on shark week now
@SHARKBYTES the sailors tales from the 1800s and 1900s is it possible there was a megalodon around back maybe 100-200 years ago or possibly are just very large great whites?
@cyh5543 I would think the potential for larger great whites is more likely, but still rare. The good old Meg has been gone for at the very least 2 million years.
You’re not only an shark scientist, (top 3 of all science’s I think) doing drunk streams about shark stuff, you’re obviously also a original Star Wars Fan ! Dude you could only literally get more cooler if you would be an astronaut too ! Jokes aside, you’re videos have a great quality and you are also a entertaining person yourself. Stay on with that, I enjoy all your video !
Fun episode! Def glad I watched it. Quick question; I was taught as a child that whale sharks were whales and not sharks, but considering you’re a shark scientist, it’s looking like you consider them sharks. Was there some sort of classification change or was I just being told a myth? -also when fight?-
yeah, you were taught wrong. the whale shark is a shark that just happens to feed on plankton (like whales) and is also large (like certain whales). that’s basically where the similarities end
I recall seeing some video years ago on YT, maybe it was taken down, where they did have a documentary allegedly featuring locals from Mexico talking about it. In my opinion, I believe some fishermen really did see the black demon and it probably did knock over a small boat killing someone but it was probably a long time ago and the black demon is probably long been dead. I think it was definitely the skin melanin thing you described making it jet black but now people are probably muddying the story by confusing all these recent sightings of whale sharks and people are getting caught up in the hype of it, when the real thing from the original story has most likely died awhile ago. The game of telephone really exposes how bad humans are at relaying data through word of mouth. LOL
Every time you refer to anyone as a self proclaimed anything I’m like ooooo savage! I just always feel that it carries weight and if I were a self proclaimed anything and you called me out on it, I would tuck in my tail and hide!
this is completely off topic from the video, but could you some time make a create feature about the pondicherry shark, cause i read that it's been thought to be exctinct since the 1980s but its been re-found in the maldives?
I'm leaning toward the melanistic great white. A fisherman in a small boat will see any large shark as huge. The 5' tail is a bit much. Or....it could be.......MEGALADON!
I think my favourite aspect of the "megalodon lives" theory is that people never seem to mention HOW MANY there would need to be to sustain a population of them over the millions of years post-extinction. There's always talk of one rogue giant, and even in "Megalodon: The New Evidence" (another Discovery sit down style doco with the lead character from the meg doco) it's noted there are two megs. Just two. And the host was like "that's a pretty big claim". Do these meg conspiracy theorists seriously believe that there's just one multi-millenia aged shark plodding around?
Dude, just because you haven't seen a quote online, doesn't mean that there is not a fisherman who would tell you what he has experienced...It is pretty easy to sit at a desk and study your laptop and pompously admit what YOU don't want to believe because YOU can't see it from your position...The fisherman always warn people stay as close to shore as possible, and not to ever drive down the middle section of the open sea, the reason being that this particular breed of shark will bump the boat, seizing the engine or just completely destroying the vessel all together. Keep in mind that they use row boat styled vessels, which are very close to the water and can be flipped over by quite a few species of marine life just swimming around, but most marine species don't bother to flip over boats, which is a very specific predatorial/territorial type of reaction to a motor driven vessel...That documentary that you watched, actually has a part where the yacht was hit, the engine was seized, and they were pretty much in the middle of the ocean, without any rock formations directly underneath the boat to have done that... How about getting a team together that is willing to go to the Sea of Cortez and use a Drone(sky), Remote controlled Row boat with an engine and 360° cameras (below & on top), and a submersible vessel with cameras (360° viewpoint) and find a place per the fisherman where you would be most likely to bump into this creature, be sure to go back and forth with the boat, so you are sure to upset it enough to get its attention(it doesn't like the noise from the engine, apparently...). Most residents of Mexico are very poor, so they don't always have the technology that we can take for granted, such as, a Cell Phone, with the most advanced camera in order to get the ground breaking footage you require in your order to believe what they have been saying...And just so you know, a 20 ft Shark can seem like it's 100 ft to the shocked/traumatized victim who lived to tell everyone what they saw, because they do not have a measuring mechanism in their brain that will correct them, even though they were 80 ft off, they just understand that it was a big fish, bigger and meaner than anything they have ever saw, so... Bottom line create a team that you will lead in person or that you will direct from abroad and use all the surveillance strategies already discussed and then make the video about happened 🐈😃😊
As I was watching this and based on the info shared here: 1. It was black 2. Measured between 20-60ft in length (lol they might as well have said that it measures anywhere above 20ft haha) 3. Whale carcass on the beaches. I immediately thought of Orcas. However, i highly doubt that orcas ever killed and ate people in the wild. But they do eat other whales. Also, orcas can go up to 30 ft i think. They also work in groups to takes down their prey and they have been able to cause damage to boats by eating off propellers (probably just to play around lol) Perhaps these people never noticed that there were more than 1 of them around so they assumed them to be 1 big giant demon 😂 Please note that I am not a marine biologist i am just a marine science lover so I apologize if i’m mistaken with my data here!
I won't even get into the black demon stuff, but I come with a tip for when you drink Sol (the mexican beer), cut a lime and slip a 1/8 slice into the bottle with a pinch of salt, tastes great.
I have had so many ‘frank exchanges of views’ with my nephew who is possibly the most gullible person on earth and believes every damn conspiracy theory out there, especially megalodon. I am so glad I discovered your channel - excuse me, just off to send him the link 🤣
I like your shows a great deal and I would continue to watch if the only prerequisite I used would be the fact that you use the word regardless in the proper manner. Thank you for that and the overall informative and good quality of your show and the information which it provides. I am a pedant nearing the very end of his pedantic frazzled improper use threads. If I hear the word irregardless one more time I believe my head may just explode. !!!
First off, cheers. There are times to drink during a presentation. This was one of those times. I'm surprised I've never heard of this one. Do I think it's real? Of course not. I lived in Bermuda long enough to know the tall tales of sailors. I must say, the tales so close to The Triangle...Mmmaaa!!! Chef's kiss!!! They do sea tales right.
Color wise the same logic of the Whale Shark appearing darker can apply to the Great White since they're usually dark on top and white on bottom but size sise yeah it makes sense for it to be the larger sharks like Whale Sharks since the longest one is 20 feet Great White compared to 50 to 60 feet of Black Demon
@SHARKBYTES great video! I watched your collab with AVNJ. It was a Shark tier I think but it was so awesome and it gotten me into checking out your channel and I'm learning so much about sharks I never knew about. Also yeah Shark Week and these discovery channels on TV are ridiculous lol
Perhaps it's not a shark at all? How about an overexaggerated Orca? There's a group of orcas off Spain that in recent times have been targeting boat rudders and have sunk a couple ships.
It’s most likely a classic case of folklore and legend leading to modern day claims made off of false identification. It’s probably a story that’s been passed down for generations, and in that case it certainly could’ve existed at one point even if it was still exaggerated in the stories, but would be long gone by now.
I wish you'd been there when I was a kid to debunk my brother's claim that there was a giant shark in our swimming pool

What about an Orca? Blacker and bigger than a great white and more of a predator than the other shark you mentioned. Tales told could muddle a lot.

Keep in mind that they use row boat styled vessels, which are very close to the water and can be flipped over by quite a few species of marine life just swimming around, but most marine species don't bother to flip over boats, which is a very specific predatorial/territorial type of reaction to a motor driven vessel...That documentary that you watched, actually has a part where the yacht was hit, the engine was seized, and they were pretty much in the middle of the ocean, without any rock formations directly underneath the boat to have done that... How about getting a team together that is willing to go to the Sea of Cortez and use a Drone(sky), Remote controlled Row boat with an engine and 360° cameras (below & on top), and a submersible vessel with cameras (360° viewpoint) and find a place per the fisherman where you would be most likely to bump into this creature, be sure to go back and forth with the boat, so you are sure to upset it enough to get its attention(it doesn't like the noise from the engine, apparently...). Most residents of Mexico are very poor, so they don't always have the technology that we can take for granted, such as, a Cell Phone, with the most advanced camera in order to get the ground breaking footage you require in your order to believe what they have been saying...And just so you know, a 20 ft Shark can seem like it's 100 ft to the shocked/traumatized victim who lived to tell everyone what they saw, because they do not have a measuring mechanism in their brain that will correct them, even though they were 80 ft off, they just understand that it was a big fish, bigger and meaner than anything they have ever saw, so... Bottom line create a team that you will lead in person or that you will direct from abroad and use all the surveillance strategies already discussed and then make the video about happened 🐈😃😊
The black shark is real, It capsized our cruise liner years ago, unfortunately It attacked and killed me along with everyone else.
RIP wulf
As I was watching this and based on the info shared here:
1. It was black
2. Measured between 20-60ft in length (lol they might as well have said that it measures anywhere above 20ft haha)
3. Whale carcass on the beaches.
I immediately thought of Orcas. However, i highly doubt that orcas ever killed and ate people in the wild. But they do eat other whales.
Also, orcas can go up to 30 ft i think. They also work in groups to takes down their prey and they have been able to cause damage to boats by eating off propellers (probably just to play around lol)
Perhaps these people never noticed that there were more than 1 of them around so they assumed them to be 1 big giant demon 😂
Please note that I am not a marine biologist i am just a marine science lover so I apologize if i’m mistaken with my data here!
Not that i think orcas are sharks, just that maybe people never ever saw a shark? Hahaha i had to clarify
I won't even get into the black demon stuff, but I come with a tip for when you drink Sol (the mexican beer), cut a lime and slip a 1/8 slice into the bottle with a pinch of salt, tastes great.
Oh dear. You spilled some beer. Good sir, that is alcohol abuse. Tsk Tsk.
Accidenté!!!
Totally understand! I have had the same accident myself before. I strive for perfection.... Sigh. Unattainable.
😂you're funny😂 keep up your great job
I have had so many ‘frank exchanges of views’ with my nephew who is possibly the most gullible person on earth and believes every damn conspiracy theory out there, especially megalodon. I am so glad I discovered your channel - excuse me, just off to send him the link 🤣
Sol, great choice on your adult beverage. I like to mix mine with spicy V8, lime juice and salt on the rim to make a michelada!
While you were describing it all I could think about is an orca. And with what’s been going on it actually makes sense
Yup jet black and a big tail, fits the size range better too.
This isn't an urban myth.... They just found footage of the giant black shark that's 60ft long. It's mouth is over 10ft wide.
It is the marijuanistic fisherman theory.
Hahaahah sounds like they have a great time out there
I like your shows a great deal and I would continue to watch if the only prerequisite I used would be the fact that you use the word regardless in the proper manner. Thank you for that and the overall informative and good quality of your show and the information which it provides. I am a pedant nearing the very end of his pedantic frazzled improper use threads. If I hear the word irregardless one more time I believe my head may just explode. !!!
First off, cheers. There are times to drink during a presentation.
This was one of those times.
I'm surprised I've never heard of this one.
Do I think it's real? Of course not. I lived in Bermuda long enough
to know the tall tales of sailors. I must say, the tales so close to
The Triangle...Mmmaaa!!! Chef's kiss!!!
They do sea tales right.
Color wise the same logic of the Whale Shark appearing darker can apply to the Great White since they're usually dark on top and white on bottom but size sise yeah it makes sense for it to be the larger sharks like Whale Sharks since the longest one is 20 feet Great White compared to 50 to 60 feet of Black Demon
Yeah it’s size that’s definitely the overarching factor here for sure!
@SHARKBYTES great video! I watched your collab with AVNJ. It was a Shark tier I think but it was so awesome and it gotten me into checking out your channel and I'm learning so much about sharks I never knew about. Also yeah Shark Week and these discovery channels on TV are ridiculous lol
Of course it’s real, definitely a meg too, but it’s 80 feet though
😂
80 feet :O
How about a basking shark? A nearly 30 foot long greyish brown shark just under the surface might be seen as black.
Perhaps it's not a shark at all? How about an overexaggerated Orca? There's a group of orcas off Spain that in recent times have been targeting boat rudders and have sunk a couple ships.
That’s what I was thinking too!
They don't get colder when they're opened.
If only..
Very nicely put
Also, fight AVNJ
I think its gotta happen!
It’s most likely a classic case of folklore and legend leading to modern day claims made off of false identification. It’s probably a story that’s been passed down for generations, and in that case it certainly could’ve existed at one point even if it was still exaggerated in the stories, but would be long gone by now.
Damn, was really hoping it was gonna be a Mogalodonut
Dreams shattered. Bladder empty.
There's massive bites on whales!! "oh cool can I get some picture evidence" ........evidence??
Also always gotta love a good drunk info session
hahahah always a LACK of evidence
Day 6 waiting for fish battle
A blow-up whale is CRAZY😅
Day 2, fight AVNJ
Day 2 of training for me
day 5 instgating fish scientist fight
Its gunna happen at some point!
