Gonna be honest, the way he tries to make them scary by showing them charging toward the camera is so funny when you realize that they're literally just harassing the cameraman for pets.
Hey electropathic sharks, it's time for the *F* *O* *O* *D* *S* *T* *I* *C* *K* .
seadogs
All the scariness goes straight out the window when they bonk the camera lens.

Joshua W lemon sharks don't attack people
It greatly depends on species. The Lemon sharks here are the most social, they skirmish sea bottom for food and don't target humans.
Great White shark, Tiger shark and Bull shark are the shark species most likely to attack and kill humans. The first two might go for you because you're smaller but Bull shark is especially dangerous because it's the only one not intimidated by prey bigger than itself, can swim into shallow rivers upstream and can immediately bite, instead of nudging first like other sharks.
Most types are just cute babies with big teeth there are outliers like bull sharks but for the most part they just vibe
Depends on how much you annoy the shark. As a professional diver who knows how to handle them, he's pretty safe. Me diving among them could possibly lead to me pissing them off and then becoming nom'ed. And lemon sharks might not attack people, but I've yet to see an animal (much less a predatory one) that won't wreck a dude if you annoy it.
Bull Sharks are exactly like that Stereotype
Majestic creatures. Truly beautiful. They've been here for over thousands of years.
Millions?
Millions. Sharks pre-date dinosaurs.
pre date trees
@@michaelnau6126 what??
Gosh, he's excited.
You’ve got to admit, it’s nice that he loves what he’s doing
Wouldn’t you be excited you muppet?
I wouldn't have the guts to do this maybe with baby lemon sharks and this guy is excited and I'm glad he likes what he does
Lemon sharks are similar, I suppose, to dogs. And like a German Shepard, they may not bite you. But when they do decide to, it can be a terrible thing. Don’t dismiss them just because you’ve seen a few nice ones.
Yeah they're still sharks
Sharks kill less people then dogs
Scary. If I was surrounded by that many lemon sharks the water would turn a lemon yellow color.
Master Therion lemon sharks aren’t dangerous
Lemon sharks get possessive of divers when there are other sharks swimming with the diver. They drive them away. They're cute actually
They will only harm someone if provoked or threatened.
@@user-st4dy2ir5l Sure? Have you seen there mouth? Doesn't wanna get bitten by them...
Bruh the joke flew over y’all’s head
Lemon Shark is a cute name. It makes them sound like they act grumpy but are really sweet when you get to know them.
1:48 really surreal how close these guys truly are to these beautiful creatures. Very awesome
I actually got to see these kinds of sharks when I went snorkeling in Belize. Over there they were called “Nurse Sharks” not sure how different they are from lemons or if they are the same? But they are nice and mind their own business! Definitely would recommend to snorkel with these sharks! Great experience.
Lemon and nurses are two different sharks:) nurses have some kind of mustache))
nurse sharks have small teeth, cant kill you. but lemon shark can
@@pratheeshm400 and they wont! They have never been reported killing any humans, and the times they did attack (only ten times) was because they were provoked!
Fun fact lemon sharks will get jealous if they see you giving more attention to another shark.
"We're absolutely surrounded by lemon sharks!"
Two sharks can be seen.
Last summer I went to Florida and my family, their friends and I went to the beach. I swam at shore because I was younger and none of them really liked me, but they were in the deeper side. I saw them all swimming like crazy back to shore, and i was confused. But they had just seen a lemon shark under them.
Thank you for that beautiful and intriguing insight of the lemon shark lifes. I learned new things because of that video.
Lemon sharks are adorable their eyes :((
Looking forward to swim with them next month
U ded?
@@digitalcamaro9708 🤣 no it was awesome!
@@L-A-Dream-Travels sick
How did it go?
1:11 ”Funny great females” BBC is flirting with sharks B)
Do they taste like lemons?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAQHHQGQ
Go find out....swim with one and take a bite and tell me if it does....
Add some lemon zest or lemon butter and they do
Stop. You have violated the law. Pay the fine or serve your sentence.
I love the sounds of water
Wish I was there
Sameee
This is my definition of stress
They're probably sensing electricity from the camera
Cameraman - No one told me about this!
2:40 bluetooth foodstick
I’m going to swim with wild lemon sharks at the end of this month and I cannot wait!
Bruh no one asked bum
Mr. React damn you sure got him good 😳
i love shar
It's cool to swim with lemon sharks
Does the guy really have to YELL ALL THE TIME? We get it, these are sharks.
LOOK HOW SERENE THOSE SHARKS ARE!!!!
In his defense though: It's hard to control your voice level when the ears are blocked. MAKES YOU OVERCOMPENSATE BY YELLING.
I think it's because it's hard to talk while underwater with the water pressure and background noise and he's straining to make himself audible.
I KNOW RIGHT ?!
(Joke)
Favorite shark species 🥺
Why do i think that sharks are cute
Because they are.
mr. gacha cause there awesome looking and aren’t as dangerous as you think
Yeah, i just realized it some days ago, and now i am in love with them😂😂well, i really mean it, i want to dive with them someday
Yup
Lemon sharks are cute
I caught a few off Key Largo. It was cool. Powerful fish
Dude, you're excited!!!!
I like all sharks gradually cause you to panic as they get closer and closer trying to find out if you are a source of food or not
Hi. They are some electric powered protection cages. The New Zeealand abaliny divers are using them with succes. Take care.
Beautiful 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 sharks
We get that's his passionate for these particular lemon sharks, but he's is aware that he's a big policy just in case something God forbid something tragic happens to him.
“Although I’m not on the menu “shark “says you “
When did Russell Brand start working for BBC Earth?
The nose boop on the cameras omg
There's New York water and then there's this.
Just got to swim with some lemons yesterday.
Now I want to swim in the cleanest ocean
0:20 Reminds me of “The Spy Who Loved Me”.
1:47 BOOOP!!!
Atleast one of those is a different species. The one with the small second dorsal.
They are non-aggressive it is RARE that they
would attack you. No need to be afraid smh
"They have absolutely no fear of me whatsoever"
You don't say...
I was in All hands beach near a old world war II Abandoned airport/dock I saw a baby shark and a sting ray near the shore at night. also had tons of fishes/crabs
Those were small and young. I've seen a big old one very large, when it moved it was like an undersea wave, it displaced so much mass and water just as it turned with "dead" eyes and thousands of scars. 27 meters down near Bora-Bora. Maybe you have met that one?
“Deadly” lmao
so basically this dude is being "attacked" by kittens and trying to make them out like wild tigers XD
Huge mistke very huge. Take care it is very dangerous.
Super nice

*boop*
They are called lemon sharks because they got a distinctive yellow color
They just need pats.
This is why sharks have a bad rep people tend to swim with them and then they finally attack and then when a human gets hurt they all have to die until they find the one that killed the human it's not okay but it's even worse considering most sharks are going endangered don't swim with them
People just look at them and think they’re these monsters.But several types of sharks attack people and those attacks aren’t lethal.Such as Lemon sharks and some type of reef shark..Sharks aren’t dangerous if you leave them alone..
The people who do get bitten should really take responsibility, I mean you don’t go into wild animals territory without knowing/expecting the risk
I wonder what they are doing gliding just above the ground. Looking for something?
Electric sensing organ in the snout functions like a metal detector, so any tiny fish or crustaceans under the sand will get noticed and eaten
Most sharks have a very advanced sense for this, but a hammerhead is like switching from a metal detector to a full on Ground penetration radar
He sounds like terry from Mike Tyson mysteries
Lemon sharks are doggo sharks
Wow it looks deadly 60
SCARY
rather swim with these lovely creatures than bull sharks
Why are they called Lemon Sharks though? They don't look like a lemon. And unless you took one out of the water you couldn't smell it or taste it.
Forgive my ignorance, but why lemon?
Color
There is a sort of hue like the pearl colouring in car paint I suppose. Still more grey than anything else though. Ah well, thanks for the reply.
Their eye color looks like a lemon yellow thats why.
Are there ever any threats in those waters?
Sonny the lemon shark swimming in the ocean
hehe lemon
Check out Sharks Happen, and Key West Waterman for another perspective on Lemon Sharks. Not so dismissive of the realities.
Imagine a great white come out of nowhere behind the divers🤣🤣🤣🤣
That Would be Cool if 1 did,But White’s Don’t live In Shallow Water
@@its_ezralol .....Okay.
@@its_ezralol Haha , good joke 80 % percent of deaths from great whites come from beaches , they are usually hunting in the shallow sea, although is rare, but it happens to see them in tropical waters, they like the most moderate warm waters of Australia, New Zealand, California, Brazil, east coast of USA, Japan...
They. are Blind
must be hard to sqeeze
Next up: swimming with justin Y. Sharks
Shork haha
This guy's voice gets on my nerves, especially when he shouts through a mask. Ever thought of doing the voice-over once you are on land, that way your commentary will be clearer and easier to listen to.
Same
A bit of context would be nice BBC, we dont all know how dangerous they are to humans.
Why don't they bite the humans?
Vivek Maharaj Sharks don’t see humans as food.
Imagine you're hungry and you can either choose between hunting a rabbit or an elephant.
They are deadly predators of fish and shellfish, but not a threat to humans. The title is misleading.
🍋😨🍋💦
He didn't feed em 🙄
and something might happen!!! but doesn't..
The shouted commentary spoiled the video somewhat.
*But do they Taste like Lemons or do they taste better when you add lemon?......*
And the award for most overuse of descriptive words goes to...
ABSOLUTELY
I’m sorry but who does this- how is he alive? Why didn’t they eat him
sharks very rarely attack, and this specific species is very very friendly and playful
please bring a 250 volts with you and lets see if they will react?
They look like they are about to eat you 😐
i am losing interest in this channel because of the hosts constant yelling.
i hope this dude keeps yelling at me about sharks
This host is really annoying. His voice is shrill and he doesn't stop telling.
He's excited, and rightly so. But yeah, he is annoying.
