Beware of the Thresher Shark Tail
Вставка

- The thresher shark may just be the coolest shark in the ocean. They are easily recognizable by their enormous, whip-like tails which can be as long as the rest of their entire bodies. But this tail isn’t just for show-it’s a powerful tool to hunt prey. While it had long been rumored that threshers hunted with their tails, it wasn’t until 2010 that scientists were able to observe the behavior in the wild. They discovered that thresher sharks will charge their prey, and then sling their tails up and over their heads like whip. It happens so quickly that their prey are left stunned or even blown into pieces.
Despite their incredible adaptations, thresher sharks face serious threats from human activities. Overfishing and habitat destruction both pose major risks to their populations. - Наука та технологія
Thresher sharks are so cool! But their faces are definitely some of the cutest, goofiest things in the ocean.
i was thinkinv about that too lol
They have such goofball faces!!! I love them though.
One of the most beautiful among sharks together with blue sharks. Two of my favorite shark species.
Their faces are the cutest! :c

😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cute, chubby, cheeked guy!
I love the long tail, tiny mouth, and huge eyes of this shark. It’s like a caricature of a shark. So cute! ❤
Angel sharks are very beautiful, too 🥰🦈
I didn't even know about this shark until this video and it looks so cool.
It should be mentioned that this feeding method wasn't just rumored but was witnessed by fishermen on rare occasions.
They look pretty cute (those eyes look like there's not a single though behind them)
Do any fish eyes look anything but dead?
Such an underrated channel. This video has 1.2k likes with 13 comments whereas some bs videos has hundreds of thousands of likes with thousands of comments. This is just sad.
Keep up the good work guys!
What did the tail say to the fish? Smack!
I remember reading about this shark in elementary and its still in my top three with the sand tiger above it and the goblin in 3rd. Our planets underwater life is both enamoring and terrifying. I love seeing just how "alien" the creatures on our own planet can be.
Love the Goblin Shark...
Still my favorite shark from when i was a kid.
You guys have got to do a vid on angel sharks 🙏
I've loved these guys (and the Megamouth) since I was a kid but I never realized that they had baby faces. 🤩
My favorite shark
Didn't know they struck like a scorpion!!!
For some reason I thought it was always known that that is how they used their tail. At 67 and a shark lover the thresher was always a fascinating creature along with the mako. Maybe it was just speculation back then.
My favorite too! They have a cool face also....
Whoa!
Thank you thsts answered a question for over 45years
"There are plenty of fish in the sea"
The fish:
All of em look surprised all the time 😂
I love their faces. 😟😟😟
Ahh, my favorite shark
Very cool footage
Please also make an video on different types of shark species and more ocean species
Thank you
I think they reference this behavior in Jaws, one of Quint's scars is where a Thresher whacked him with his tail.
I was unaware of these cool guys. Hopefully they can recover from human interaction
If I'm not mistaken, this looks like a big-eye thresher, a deep-sea shark.
Given you’re not the biologist presenting this to us, you’re probably incorrect.
The fact that u even found one is amazing!!
Are you guys hiring? I am a deckhand. This looks so cool
You can check out employment and internship opportunities on our website oceanx.org.
THEY LOOK SO CUTE
my favorite shark!!! one day i want to go see the pelagic thresher sharks at malapascua island in visayas!
Me too!
Also one of the best tasting sharks out there
Other sharks: (´ー`)
Thresher sharks: (o_o)
I love you guys have subtitles on, but the youtube "subscribe" button blocks most of the subtitles.
as a dave the diver enthusiast, this shark has tried to eat me multiple times, never knew it was real
Fishermen knew this for a long time. Its only a rumor unless a scientist confirms it.
That's how science works. You want qualified people to verify things and note their observations. It's like going to a mate to check if your mole is cancerous instead of a doctor.
What a magnificent animal 😍🥰🦈
Thats just a lil guy with anxiety 😢
Honestly, if you don't love thresher sharks, that's on you.
They are good to eat too.
Down here in New Orleans, we put em on a dressed Po' Boy with some Crystal Hot Sauce and a side of potato salad.
This Shark is a Water/ Fighting type
That's badass!
monster hunter taking notes
My fav shark❤
We call them voshaai (fox shark)
In Moalboal Cebu, you can visit a shoal that is frequently visited by pelagic thresher sharks. They go there to get cleaned daily around 5 or 6 in the morning.
Shark Washing Station?
Vid in a nutshell.
“Look, a shark with a super long tail! Cool, right? Mankind is currently eradicating it.”
Bro really just hits the whip.
I knew them as "Fox Sharks" i didnt know whats they were called in english
Beautiful animal
Let's just be real about what popped into your head when you saw its face. Bahahaha
We love BIGG tails.
Hearing the word "submersible" just doesn't quite sound right to me now... 😅
Didnt know shark could skate damnnn
What a beauty
I just know that there is one photographer whoes dream is to get that money shot
Bruh you could have paid me to guess an id have never guessed that's how they used their tails. Nature is freaking wild man.... 😅
Ok it’s the coolest shark by far
They taste delicious too!
Also they can keep up at the speed of 110 to 120 km per hour
This bastard is my run killer in Dave the Diver
The “massa” shark
Cool
One less shark to worry about I always say😮
Nah man, it's dolphins you should worry about, read about what they do
Oh you have to worry about sharks daily? Every day? Every minute of every day? You’re so attractive to sharks that they seek you out? Give me a break 😂
Mitsuri Shark
Read a shark book that said a thresher shark tail once decapitated a sailor that was looking over the side of a dingy
Really?
@@jannythewonderwomen2215 yes
💟💜
In the Philippines this is being made into fish balls. 😂 while the government is selling their fins illegally to china. 😂
I think this might be my favorite shark so far keep them alive please lol
Cool plentiful and delicious
When uou say “we” endanger them, just say Asia. No one in the Americas is eating shark fin soup
willing to bet its not westerners killing these sharks
but we are the ones recieving the guilt for it.
its so fucked.
Human activities wreaking havoc on other species. Is there anything that can wreak havoc the human species?
Humans.
Yet none of these SJW channels and people will EVER call out the main perpetrators who are destroying our oceans: the Chinese
THRESHER?!?!? LIKE FROM HIT GAME DEEPWOKEN?!?!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Scp
Well well well 👴🏻
