Vlad the Impaler is NOT Dracula. Bram Stoker never made a single reference to him, someone else made it up along the way and now everyone is running around calling him "the real Dracula." Bram Stoker might have read his name during the research for the book but it's not clear that he even know who he was, let alone let him inspire a character - the title character at that.
Good point. I've heard that Dracula may have been based on a Celtic chieftain named Abhartach. Sorry for the comparison to Vlad; I just thought if I didn't mention him, I would have gotten comments saying "vampires aren't real; I guess you've never heard of Vlad the Impaler" or something.
That is such a technicality though, it's basically pulling a name from a hat. In the literally sense it's true he as a real life Dracula but I don't think that's a strong enough connection to draw any other comparison between the two. You are right about the name, I don't deny that at all, but the implication of the terminology "real life Dracula" is very different I think, in that it's not what the term implies in common vernacularly
People have got to understand that just because an animal is potentially dangerous doesn't make them demonic monsters.
after all, a bear can be just potentially dangerous and you don't see humans telling people bears are bloodthirsty monsters
because they aren't
same should be said for dinosaurs (non birds), snakes, and wolves
just because they could rip you apart doesn't they will
There is no "potentially" dangerous, they are infact dangerous. Watch the Egypt video where that russian kid was being thrown around and torn up. What makes them dangerous/monsters is that you can't read them or rationalize with them. They have no remorse for anything they are doing because they aren't even capable of having it because they are a low intelligence species. If there is one swimming around you, there is a 50% chance they can just blitz you and attack and you can look into their black eyes while they are tearing you up have no idea why. No one is saying they should all be purged, but people need to stop with this fake narrative that they are harmless, just because they see youtube videos of 2 blonde women who are "shark experts" swimming around them.
@@iluvyurbles People have got to understand that sharks are invisible man eaters attacking people in recreational areas, when they are attacking you the difference between a white, tiger, bull and a demonic monster is exactly zero. Open sport fishing on bull white tiger... lets do this,
@psychcowboy1 unless holding up a cross is going to repel a shark, the difference is pretty big, actually. The way people deal with animals on Earth is rather different than how they would go on about dealing with one from hell. Additionally, sharks don't actively target people, AND monsters are imaginary creatures.
@psychcowboy1 what? I did not understand a single part of that only that you hate animals, likely as a joke?
For me its kinda like bears. I don't think they're monsters but I'd be scared shitless if I saw one in the wild
Exactly. Most of both Bears and Sharks that attack are usually just very territorial or get very curious.
Crocodiles on the other hand...
Yeah, like they become monsters if the situation is risky enough.
Sharks are not a threat for most people because you need to be in a very specific situation to at least encounter one, the animal also needs to be curious or hungry enough to care about you, sharks dont attack every single thing in their environment and they are actually aware of their surroundings.
@Brandon-br7tc I mean if you're dumb enough to get anywhere near a Crocodile or an area Crocodilians are known to inhabit that's kinds just your own fault
Predatory animals are not monsters, nor are they toys. They should be respected.
For the emotionless shark one there’s actually a great white that was in captivity that actually got released due to her questionable mental health.
Your comment about everything not being black and white nailed it. Unfortunately, it feels like these days most people insist on reducing everything into two-option arguments, which hurts education on topics like this in the long run. Just because you need to respect something and what it can do to you, doesn't mean you need to fear it or that it even wants anything to do with you.

Monster sneaks up on people and eats them. White bull tiger sneaks up on people and eats them. Sharks are cool unless they are monsters.

@@psychcowboy1that's right, keep ranting. Way to make a fool of yourself; don't bother saving lives, just keep joking, nobody's laughing. You want to kil animals for just existing, maybe you're a monster . . .a troll on the internet no less.
No one’s out here jumping in the water with Hippos but people don’t villainize them nearly the same. Crazy how much of an impact pop culture has made on our impression of certain species
Exactly, sharks aren’t even unusually aggressive among large predators. Any large predator has the capacity to kill people and are dangerous, but sharks are the ones that get demonized. Theyre not particularly more dangerous than any other predator, but they get labeled monsters and evil.
“The USS Indian” hilarious.
I think hollywoods dipiction of sharks in movies has morphed our perception of what sharks are and how they typically behave
Amazing video. I wouldn't call myself a shark enthusiast, but I love all animals. And yet your videos about sharks always give me a form of sentimental attachment to sharks.
Eat sharks save people.
There have been made more movies about humans being monsters than sharks but people still call Sharks monsters.
To be fair your less likely to call your own species a monster if anything just due to familiarity alone
@@awesomeocelot7475 I can justify an animal eating. I can’t justify things such as religious genocide and torturing animals to test makeup.
Some of the things humanity does go against the meaning of the word “humanity”.
As my grandfather once told me: "the most dangerous creature in the woods isn't a bear, it walks on two legs and speaks English."
And he wasn't talking about the skinwalkers.

What an odd argument. They don’t even meet the definition of a monster. They’re just sharks doing shark shit along with every other species on the planet.
these are the people who treat jaws a documentary and a fucking horror film
I wonder what they think of bears, dog, and other animals
@@iluvyurbles Eat sharks. save lives
@@psychcowboy1 nah, would rather eat Dolphins, they're assholes
@@iluvyurbles Every person on earth about to get attacked by a shark, would press a button to make all sharks extinct. Personally I think we should just cull the maneaters.
@psychcowboy1 so we should cull any animal that has killed and consumed humans? We should cull dogs, bears, lions, crocodiles, elephants, snakes, humans etc. Are you forgetting that people kill more people than any other particular species?
Who are these people? Even if sharks were to be monsters that doesn't give these people an excuse to be so stupid...
I think people will be on board saying the bullies comprising the majority of fatal dog attacks are monsters, too.
Are dogs killing bullies? Or are bullies killing dogs? I am confusion.
“Water puppies derrr” I’m dead 💀😂😂. The original commenter was definitely referring to Ocean Ramsey btw
Sharks are just the Sigma Chads of the ocean plain and simple
I think some people mistake the comment that sharks aren't monsters to mean they aren't dangerous.
Other people just want to be contradictory jerks.
My parents took me to see Jaws 2 when I was 4. That ruined the ocean for me.
These days, I find sharks cool. Although, I still don't venture into the ocean.
Thanks Mom and Dad😅
Snakes on plane ruined planes for me
I can't believe they took you at 4 years old WOW
Person: there isn't one nice shark
Basking sharks: am I a joke to you?
not going to lye but they kinda are, still amazing animals but they kinda are a joke of a shark. same with Basking
"They're not monsters, Lex, they're animals"
Dr. Alan Grant
I mean, he said that about InGen's dinosaurs, but the point is the same. All wild animals can be dangerous and unpredictable.
And here I am annoyed at the fact that we never agreed on the definition of the word we're argueing about... "Monster" is an imaginary creature, something huge or a mutant. Only the middle definition fits some of the sharks.
They are large predatory wild animals - that's all.
I like how you are taking comments lightheartedly and with a sense of humour. The Karen joke got me laughing.
I've been a lifelong boater and fisherman. I've handled a few sharks and likely swam in waters that they were in as well. The only fish that scares me is the alligator gar. It's because their entire body is a weapon. They're as old if not older than sharks. And I've personally had one poke me with its tooth and cut me. But do I consider them monsters? Hell no. They're what I call the poor man's tarpon
I really don't see shark as monsters they're just animals like you see in every single day.
I usually hate making these misanthropic types of comments but us humans are capable of much more monstrous things than what any wild animal fulfilling it’s ecological role is.
I mean, they usually have a point though
lol "Sharks are monsters!" says a human who probably never looked in the mirror.
Real
sharks also have a very small and slow digestive system, so at most a great white shark can only eat one or two seals per meal
imagine being a lean, mean, killing underwater torpedo sausage that evolved over hundreds of millions of years into the most lethal tube-shaped submersible apex predator the world has ever seen just to be called a monster by hairless bipedal apes that couldn't even make it in the ocean and had to flee inland to escape your cylindrical hydrophilic reign
this black and white viewpoint was exactly the point of the first HtTYD
Dragons will always go for the kill
So why didn't you
everything we knew about you guys was wrong
if you make the dragons an allegory for any animal or groups of people, then it show how toxic that black and white view is
Sharks are simply wild animals and should given the respect they deserve
just like how you can befriend a squirrel, you can befriend a shark, doesn't mean all sharks/squirrels are automatically your friend and will trust you, just that one individual
Guess what creature kills the most people: man
The same people that are saying sharks are monsters are the same ones searching shark attack videos. Keep up the great work and the deep unbiased research!
i hate those people. They cause all misinformation.
The level of confident ignorance among those comments is astounding. Dunning-Kruger in effect.
15:21 🤣🤣🤣🤣 " I can't wait for sharks to go extinct" Tell me you know nothing about anything without telling me bubba.
People are talking like sharks are the only creatures attacking/killing people
When you go into a predator’s world be it shark, grizzly, tiger, whatever you have to acknowledge the risk you take. Even if you educate yourself and take all possible precautions, the risk is still there and one must accept that when entering those environments.
Sometimes I feel like Internet comment sections are one huge ploy to get the biggest idiots in the anglosphere to publically humiliate themselves
hahaha to true.
im a vampire rights activist
its crazy and pathetic how riled up people get over something someone said
But are they Monstars?
I have a deep love for sharks and it’s so annoying when people call them monsters
I swear, some people are physically incapable of thought!
Sharks aren't monsters. They're just predators. Every predator has it's degrees of danger and while sharks are dangerous, they're not serial killers.
so sad that there are so many people who just lack any ability to think, let alone critically think. Sharks are not monsters, they're animals trying to survive.
Defining a monster is complex and honestly, I think the worst of humanity can fall into the category of true monsters and that is still leagues above any singular man-eating animal or shark.
Hi. I'm really sorry you got all of those awful comments. I appreciate the information you provide. I don't know what constitutes a "monster" but I think internet trolls should be pretty high on the list. I think you did a great job addressing the comments you received. You seem really patient, well spoken and intelligent. Big bear hug to you from me, turtle. 🐢

Gotta love all the people in UA-cam comment sections that pretend to be some kind of "experts" on topics they clearly know nothing about.
What is the most preyed animal in the world? Chickens.
Who preys on them the most? Humans.
From the point of view of a chicken we are monsters. Right?
Everything people said about sharks, you can replace the words 'sharks' 'Humans' and 'chickens', and would still make sense.
Sharks don't have KFC restaurants for humans under the ocean.
PFH. Pacific Fried Humans
"Sharks are wild animals that deserve our respect" is a MUCH more reasonable perspective than calling them monsters or sea puppies or anything like that. Well stated.
Hearing about what horrors humans can do to both other humans and animals convinces me the only monsters on Earth is humanity
Naaa. There are many examples of other animals being sadistic assholes. Cats play with their prey, orcas do the same thing (while no one calls them monsters). We can observe much abusive behaviour from our closest relatives, the great apes.
The difference is, that human technology and knowledge have developed extremly quickly which enabled us to do harm to other beings on such a scale. But I know that we can do better if we wanted to
@@KraytTheGreat But we won't. Man is too selfish
My point exactly. Animals are horrific, they rape, kill, and torture, but theyre animals. They dont have a sense of morality. They haven’t evolved a concept of good and evil, we have. We also kill, rape, and torture, and we know its wrong, do we care? No, thats what makes some humans evil, and animals just animals. Thats what makes something a monster.
@@franceshankin2131 humans aren't the problem. It's the system that puts us in an unhealthy relationship towards one another. The nation state and capitalism.
Agreed.
I actually rewatched Jaws again this week. My favorite quote was from hooper. "It's a shark. All it wants to do is eat, swim, and make little sharks". The movie doesn't portray this vision of sharks, but I think this is true. They are wild animals doing what wild animals do: survive. We shouldn't be mad at them for that.
Eat sharks, save lives. The title of this video is bogus. Are all sharks monsters all of the time? Lame. Sharks, regardless of intent, are monsters when they attack people.
I agree that sharks are not monsters. I do admit that every time I get into water that might have sharks I have scenes from jaws replaying in my mind. This is irrational, I know this. I still fear a wild animal that can kill me immediately or harm me in irreparable ways.
I Hope its only a minority that thinks that sharks are truely Monsters..
If sharks are monsters. What evil are humans
7:38 i mean, Polar Bears are one of the only animals that do kill anything they think they can eat, and i dont see people calling them monsters, or complaing they are the mascot for one of the worlds most famous brands 😅
Wild bears are just as bad but I bet you every single comment on a video about bears is like “omg so adorable super cuddly man eating machine that I wanna hug”
lol. Polar bears would just put its weight on you and start eating.
I would say that Polar Bears and Hippos are indeed "monsters". There's nothing wrong with them though, polar bears are a very interesting animal. People should certainly be careful in areas where they are found.
Even then, i could see why polar bears hunt anything.
There isnt that much food to begin with, sharks on the other hand live close to where their food is(reefs and coasts for fish and seals).
I think the bears get a pass just because of very limited food source.
Polar Bears, Saltwater Crocodiles and Tigers and large snakes all have human on the menu without second thought when in the wild.
Excellent video my friend. I get some of the same push back. Most of the people typing those comments are trolling, dumb, or both. Takes a certain level of intellect to understand the context of what you say. Takes a certain level of intellect to understand context period. Keep up the great work.
True it takes a level of intellectual to realize that everyone on earth about to be attacked by a shark would press a button to make all sharks extinct.

Thank you for clarifing. I appreciate the amout of work you are whilling to put into changing peoples minds, even if they already have a strong opinion on topics more or less subjektive in defiance of the term monster.
Makes me glad to see someone else not putting all sharks into one category and differing from the usual black and white look at killing rates of some type of shark in a specific area.

Great articulate rebuttal and also loved the thumbnail 😅😎

Only humans are capable of being monsters.
If sharks are monsters then a honda civic is a monster truck
Sharks aren't monsters.
They are magnificent creatures.
Snakes kill way more people every year but are not monsters
Mosquitos tho, mosquitos are monsters
Fuck mosquitos
Going by raw numbers i have to say: Car are monsters (or maybe the drivers?) killing people unprovoked all the time. Compared to those casualties, sharks are indeed puppys.
This is a ridiculous comparison. Because there are millions of people at every second of the day driving on roads, so of course there will be more accidents . duh.
@@christopherbailey3547 OK, one of the definitions of "monster" thrown around in the video was for something to be capable of killing a human. By that, humans are the worst monsters of them all
@@christopherbailey3547 of course it is. But it fits the definition of "monster" (capable of killing people) of some of the comments, as we both agree, rediculous.
Also: people > ALL other flora and fauna, when it comes to doing "monstrous" stuff to other humans,anyways, by any definition. And often intentional at that.
@@RaptorFHMaybe some, but humans are a bit more complex than fish.
@@MeanBeanComedy in what way?
I do overall agree with your points on this, but I do have a bit of a question. Due to the amount of contact that we humans have with Great Whites, Bull Sharks, and Tiger Sharks, could that be a contributing factor to the "small" amount of unprovoked attacks a year? The reason I'm asking mainly is because with a lot of wild animals that have a high amount unprovoked attacks on humans usually live close to civilian populations. For instance such as the Nile Crocodile kill close to 200 people a year in Africa, one of the main contributing factors are living very close to civilian areas making contact far more frequent, compared to saltwater crocodiles which only have a couple or a few happen a year due to the very limited contact they have with people. Humans overall have very little contact with all Sharks in general especially great whites, tiger sharks and bull sharks. I'm not advocating for sharks as monsters, I'm more advocating for a middle ground when it comes to sharks as I don't really think its a misconception anymore that sharks are monsters infact I believe form what I've been seeing the past few years to it being a bit more the opposite direction. Again I'm in no way disputing your points but I just think it is a factor to be looked at when analyzing shark attacks and I do wish to promote a bit more of a middle ground when it comes to the topic.
It's worth remembering that the Nile crocodile has shared habitats with humans for as long as humans have existed - and with most of the ancestors of the genus, not just the species. They've had a looooong time to get used to creatures like us as prey animals. We're a lot more like an invasive species in other parts of the globe, and on top of that we've often driven creatures that seemed too eager to either predate upon us or compete with us towards extinction.
Crocs alone kill more than 1000 people a year world-wide.
And they eat them. All.
Sharks kill, but most of the time do not even consume.
@@hermean what are you talking about?
@@Fish-tz8yn You mentioned that the Nile crocodile kills a lot of people, and advanced the idea (which seems plausible to me) that the proximity is a major factor in the danger statistics. I wanted to caution against that specific example, though, because the Nile Crocodile is one of our species natural predators: humans evolved on the continent they're from. The concern is against accidentally creating an apples-to-oranges comparison with one species that is both around humans a lot, and has been for a long time, vs species that aren't around humans a lot, and haven't been until recently. Does that make sense? Like, it could be the proximity thing - or it could be the time thing.
@@hermean Thanks for making it a bit more clearer but I really don't think that the time thing has a lot to do with it. I mean, from what we've seen, not a lot of animals especially reptiles have really learnt to adapt with us. And I don't really think sharks are necessarily going to do the same.
Yes we should worry about catsharks, leopard sharks or whale sharks eating us 😂😂😂😂
Wait aren’t we all mostly monsters then? Everytime you pick up a burger, steak or chicken nugget? Mooooonnnnnssssters! All of us😱
Sharks are amazing badass creatures, not monsters at all! I’m terrified and amazed all at the same time❤ The people leaving these comments are the reason our grandchildren may only ever have the blessing of these creatures behind glass somewhere! That is heartbreaking!
i heard that always making eye contact to the sharks is more than enough to make them lose interest in you. And always stay in a group.
I would argue that people in fact need education about sharks and you do great work doing this, really. On the other hand: we humans aren't entire rational beings, that accept the the coercion-less coercion of the better argument (I hope I translated that one right from German into English). We tend to have our believes, emotions, prejudices that aren't logical and people have the tendency to cling onto that believe, emotions and prejudices despite seeing the facts. This is why conspiracy theories, myths, racism, sexism and other many more dangerous believes are still around.
About the "Sharks are swimming doom machines and that's the reason they are monsters" argument. I find this one to be incredible ridiculous. Look at our not fully domesticated house cats: they are walking doom machines for small mammals, birds and many more (animals we often tend to call cute) - yet no one in the world would call their cat a monster. It's friggin nature. Predatory animals need to kill other animals to survive. This isn't an immoral or monstrous act, it's a necessity.
Sharks are animals, they do what animals do. Saying "shark infested waters" is like saying "human infested cities". It's their home. Even if they ate people like crackers, it wouldn't make them monsters. We humans always think we have the right to every piece of land (water) and we can gatekeep what deserves to live
To be fair I'm like 100% sure all of these comments were children. Probably in high school.
I can bring up better points than all shark haters in the comments here, and I’m not even in high school yet.
@Olympusland yes but you are an exception lol
@@KrazyKaiser ah okay. Thanks!
You are ignorant about the ignorance of some adults on this planet lmao
Status is the only reason people eat shark fin soup, not health, nor nutrition, and cartilage fish aren't really for consumption, they are there to keep the oceans clean, and healthy. Sharks eat the sick and weak fish, and leaving the healthy ones thriving, so we and other animals could have some quality seafood.
I've personally been attacked by a human, and also a dog once. By their logic, should I be calling all people, and dogs "dangerous", and "monsters"? I wish sometimes people would just educate themselves on things before speaking.
"can't wait for them to go extinct" is literally the stupidest thing I have ever heard even if it comes from an uneducated villager. We need sharks of all kinds to keep the Ocean's food chain in check, that's it. Without the existence of sharks other fish populations would be extremely unstable so these worms that say they should go extinct would likely cry if it happened, cause they wouldn't be able to have their little tuna sandwich anymore.
ALL THOSE WHO THINK SHARKS ARE MONSTERS NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND STAY THERE FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.

"Six people are killed by sharks per year, they're monsters!"
I wonder how many chickens or cows worth of meat a person eats in a year? Not condemning it, but if were being thorough...
2:42 I think the person is referring to Ocean Ramsey. 7 months ago, SHARK BYTES channel did a vid called "THIS is Why Ocean Ramsey is BAD for Sharks!"
In the video, he questions her education background credentials, which she lists as bachelor's degree in marine biology and master's degree in ethology, because he couldn't find her master's thesis online. The comment at this timestamp could be referring to that.
The comments on the video, guided by the presenter, were pretty resoundingly chiding Ocean as being nothing more than an insta model, swimming with sharks for money, and a phony when it comes to her motives, conservation, and credentials.
They ignored the fact that she's been swimming with sharks since before social media. The presenter, as you initially did, assumes that most people know sharks aren't man eating killing machines out to eat everything nearby. That incorrect assumption calls his own integrity as a scientist into question and proves that paying a lot for pieces of paper that say you're smart doesn't actually make you smart.
If he hasn't done any research into what opinions people have on sharks, it's a big assumption and one that comments on any shark vid will dispute. Yet that incorrect assumption was the cornerstone of his argument that Ocean is bad for sharks because she's in the water, "bothering" them and since most people know they aren't monsters, there's no reason to go swimming with them to show they didn't eat her.
First, if a 16 foot white shark or 12 foot tiger shark doesn't want to be around a person it will leave. If it's annoyed with the humans behavior, it has the capability to make the human disappear. In the water, sharks often have various other sea life around them, harmlessly, from dolphins to other fish.
Second, as the "of course it's a monster!" comments on this channel show, people DO need to be shown that sharks aren't monsters eating everything nearby. They aren't cuddly puppies and absolutely can eat a human, but most of the time when we're near them (which we usually are unaware, near beaches), aren't interested in us.
Facts: Worldwide, sharks kill less than 10 humans per year (5 in 2022) out of about 50 bite incidents.
Humans kill up to 273 million sharks per year ("Sustainability", Porcher, Darvell 2022)
In light of the actual facts, who ought to be afraid of whom?

@@travisrygg3317 the words of a wise person.
Sharks rule and are NOT monsters, some people are just... Weird about giving up on there pre assumptions based on Hollywood movies and cherry picked facts. Like, are sharks dangerous? Yes. Should you go out and try and touch sharks? NO! Should you treat sharks as sea puppies? Again, NO! But that doesn't make them monsters anymore then all dogs are monsters because you shouldn't just go out of your way to touch every random dog you meet.
I am a scuba diver and an underwater photographer. I have over 1,000 dives. I do not pretend to be a shark expert. I live close to Volusia county. Most of the shark bites there are of people standing in the water. The water is turbid and small sharks chase bait fish. Sometimes they run into a person’s leg and bite. These bites while serious seem to be unintentional.
I have seen nurse sharks whilst diving and they are pretty passive but they can get 14’ long. I was on a dive where a diver fed lionfish to a nurse shark. It swam around and was excited and potentially could have bitten someone while trying to get the food.
I have seen blacktip sharks and reef sharks and bull and a great hammerhead. The thing is that it is very hard to get close enough to a shark to get a good photo. Sharks are wary and will typically swim away.
2:08 This sounds like it could be a SyFy flick about Dracula but he turns into a shark instead of a bat, and his mansion is on an island, and it would be called something cheesy like “Sharkula,” or something lol!
A shark does what a shark is suppose to do. Its an animal. Being shocked that you encounter them in the ocean is like walking into a burning building and being suprised you catch fire😂
This video is 😙🤌❤️ chefs kiss
A monster is anything relative to personal fear as I understand it. Natural, logical or not seems to make no difference what so ever. Number of deaths is irrelevant next to the way you die. Mosquitos and Cars are not feared one bit but if a handful of people get bitten by a shark or dragged down by a Humboldt squid there will be monsters. Never heard anyone refer to a land animal this way for some reason. Lions and Bears have big teeth and claws but are still regarded as "scary" and or "dangerous" animals and not monsters. This could be because they are less alien to us more easy to observe. It seems like this rant of mine simply will end in fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of death.......... also ... teeth from the abyss below while flopping about like a helpless land mammal scares me enough not to go there.
Hello to everyone. Cristina Zanato, a shark researcher, removes hooks from sharks mouths!! After she removed the hook from the first shark other sharks started to show up, and have their hooks removed out of their mouths! I believe this denotes intelligence, and reasoning!?! On the other side of the coin, I’m terrified of being eaten by a shark!! I pray that all have a good day 🙏❤️
Those are Caribbean reef sharks, they look great to get along with; she even stated that reef sharks are like her babies.
Is humans kill millions of sharks each year but somehow they are the monsters
Well all predators should be called monsters because they would eat humans if given the chance
Personally I live in an area where great white sharks have killed and attacked, not regularly but quite a few times and I can say from what I’ve heard and seen victims don’t blame the sharks and the locals don’t either it’s super rare and you know the risk when entering water especially if they have been sighted i think the argument of dogs and cows killing people as well is great as people rarely fear their life when in contact
Anyone that has gone swimming in any of the ocean's beaches has swam with sharks. They all haven't been mercilessly attacked by sharks. If sharks are monsters,
they're very bad at it. In that way of thinking I guess all of the big cats and all bears are horrible monsters. You certainly can't just hang out with them like you can with most sharks.
these comments are peak comedy. how are these people real?
Wiktionary says monster is a word with childish connotations meaning a terrifying and dangerous creature. I guess if someone is afraid of sharks, maybe they can seem monstrous to them, but it is childish to vilify wild animals like that. Also, you did a good job of pointing out that many sharks are not even remotely dangerous -- although perhaps a fish or crustacean would beg to differ!
I hadn't heard about squalene before, and I looked at all my products looking for it.. couldn't find it. Do you think it is less common these days? Do you know what properties squalene provides so that I can predict which ones might have it?
Even tho they are just entrainment, movies and pop culture does not help. Some people have difficulty it seems separating what they see in movies to the real animal itself.
Sharks look scary, that's why people don't like them. If bears and big cats were that ugly, people would hate them too.
Have you stopped to consider "Monster" just means, "Scary creature that can kill humans easily?"
That's all. It's not a moral claim. No one is saying sharks are "Bad dudes," just that they can be dangerous.
Every single comment made by these people who fail to understand animals and animal biology just makes me more and more disgusted. Like you said, if the death toll in accordance to humans being killed is what makes a monster; then a dog is more of a monster than a shark. Seriously. Stop villainizing predators who only exist to exist.
what a shame that people call such beautiful creatures a monster, i am completely scare of them and that's because of the movie Jaws which I saw as a child and that completely traumatize me, heck im afraid of Orcas just because i saw a movie of killer whale targeting people even though I know there's no record on orcas killing people in the wild, still they terrified me, not as much as sharks though. But the fact that they are wild and can potentially kill and eat you, it doesn't make them mounters, it makes them animals and wild so they should be respected, and care for. No way in hell I would do a diving tour with sharks but they are a part of creation and they do share a purpose. other land predators are much more dangerous than sharks and can and have purposely hunt humans and only humans, as some tigers, crocodiles, lions, bears, etc. I don't think unarmed human has many chances of living when entering the environment of one of these wild predators, they will actually target humans and eat you and they will enjoy it. Do i believe them to be monsters? no, I do believe that any animal that fatally attacks a human, or has a record of attacking humans should be put down, yes. I have a strong believe that that individual animal should be put down, I believe we must be weary of wild animals specially predators however predators are not the only animals that can kill you but they are the more likely ones to target you as a meal. Animals are not monsters, they are wild and many of them kill for sustenance, if they don't kill, they don't eat, if they don't eat, they die. But it doesn't make them monster, but yeah they are dangerous, very dangerous. I love felines, i love to watch shows featuring felines, whether they are about tigers, jaguars, lions, or leopards, among a myriad of other species of felines. They look so cute to me because they look and behave just like my house kittens simply much bigger and much more aggressive however i know they are dangerous, i know they'll eat me, and i know there's a place for them. They are not monsters even if they can potentially harm humanity, should the individual or pride that have lost their innate fear of humans and attack us should be put down? immediately no mercy, yes. Should we go after all tigers or all crocs because some rogue individuals have killed hundreds of humans? it's not the responsibility of all their kind to pay for these individuals' acts.
I did closely read the details of 100 shark attacks so far from last century till now. Territorial, test bites, predation, rarely mistaken identity are the major reasons these attacks happen! We have to keep in mind that its with our own risk we enter these waters and things can go wrong anytime. Shark attacks are very rare and they are not monsters! They are apex predators and we need to be very cautious in swimming in waters known to have them (esp GW, Tiger & bulls)
👏👏👏💯💯💯 Thank you good sir.
Thank you for watching.
Just like that scene in Jurassic world with dr Wu and mr mazrani, monster is a relative term, most people only see sharks for what they’ve seen in the media whether it’s films like jaws or news stories of people getting attacked and/or killed so they immediately form an opinion based off these, if monster refers to an animal that can kill you then almost every animal is a “monster” because almost every animal can kill you. Like you said with people claiming that sharks actively hunt humans are morons, more often than not when a shark attacks a human it’s not because they have a thirst for human flesh or something it’s because we’ve decided to enter THERE territory and think we’re untouchable and immortal how stupid does someone have to be to blame sharks for attacking and killing people when the people decided to enter the sharks home and expected nothing to happen? Sharks are beautiful animals who only do what they do to survive which because of us humans they barely can do given we kill millions of them a year so the way I see it, we’re the monsters not them. Great video!!
Comparing sharks (a wild animal) to Vampires (malevolent supernatural rich people who are a metaphor for, well, rich people) is the craziest take I have ever heard.
They're not a metaphor for wealth. It's about seduction.
