2:22 I could’ve sworn they did too so I looked into it. Great whites roll their eyes when the bite into prey. Apparently great white sharks have a harden sheath on the back of their eyes so when roll them back they’re protected. The process of rolling them back at certain angles can look like a nictitating membrane going over the eye because the shark eyes are so dark.
With intra-uterine cannibalism, can ALL the sand-tiger shark babies get too injured to continue living? Like how there's usually no winners in a knife fight...
Sharks are like modern non-avian dinosaurs: they're characterised as larger-than-life scary predators, partly thanks to a Stephen Spielberg movie, so people tend to forget that the smaller species exist.
It isn't just Spielberg that gave sharks a bad rap, the dead holiday going dudes and dudettes whose body parts are chilling (ha, snort) in the morgue help to make Sharks appear a little bitey as well.
@@kingcosworth2643 most humans being attacked by sharks is due to ignorance on their part (ignoring signs and information warning tourists) after all the ocean is their home not ours.
Interesting fact on goblin shark jaws: Originally the genus had several species because specimens would get preserved with the jaws locked at different states of protrusion (usually due to organ inflation during decompression) and because of specimen rarity and lack of wild encounters scientists didn't realize it was a single swinging mechanism and the specimens were just different sizes.
A great example of how science is a constant and unrelenting search for the absolute truth, but until this search is over on a particular topic the current knowledge is always the absolute truth anyway. It was the absolute truth at one stage that the earth was the centre of the universe, another example being that light is made up of particles, or packets, of mass instead been massless waves of electromagnetic energy.
I really hope Clint is a dad because a) he has a very unique way of explaining things, and b) his jokes fit the role. Thanks for another neat, informative video.
Is the Lamniforme shark the best pet for you? No. Is it the best pet shark for you? Still no. Is it just about one of the coolest things ever? Gonna vote yes on this.
@@Gildedmuse 0.5 out of 5. Upfront cost? Quite alot even if you illegally catch one yourself & build a tank massive enough not to mention feeding, hardiness?

Just wanted to say: NO shark species is suitable as a pet. And now, my neurodivergent waffling about it, for anyone who might buy a cute baby shark at a pet shop (or wherever), is below. (TL;DR = DON'T.) The last paragraph is fairly cohesive. You might see at a pet store a baby "cat shark" (aka bamboo shark), barely 20cm (8") long, or even a "deal" on one still developing in its weird, alien-lookinh egg, translucent brown ("mermaid's purse" makes sense when you see it). But they're not a good pet. "Small" is a relative term, especially for an aquatic animal, and the shop clerk might say that they won't need a big tank cos they're not active swimmers like most sharks and so "a smaller tank is fine for em", thus cementing the idea of the tank requirements being fairly manageable. But it's just not. A lot of them don't survive long in captivity, and languish as they do. Those electrical sensors are constantly irritated by every one of the many electronic devices you'll need for even a basic saltwater tank, just as one note that most folks forget. But the sad part is that most people find that they're _"bored"_ by the sharks, cos they expect a majestic, cruising, toothy trophy, but bamboo sharks mostly lie around (don't need to stay moving like most species) and their small mouths have small teeth for small, slow prey. They _can_ dart fast, which is often prompted by bored hobbyists to "make him do something cool", harassing the poor animal into stress and injury. Even if you don't mind a "lazy" shark, the tank requirements (size, minimising stray current, safe substrate and decor, suitable tankmates [many fish pick at the little sharks, & they eat little fish & inverts])... If it survives even then... It's not worth it, for you or the shark. Same for any animal that gets large, needs expensive setups, intensive or speciality care (including feeding requirements)... That is: REALLY think it through. Don't impulse-buy animals (most places hold; some require a deposit, and can get another one). Sleep on it, and research the dickens out of it first. And avoid animals known to have a low survival rate in captivity. (Many more lost their lives on the way to that one being at the shop for 2 days.) And speaking of, talk to the shop selling animals like that, and don't give them your patronage if they continue. Cheers
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens I can't 100% speak for the others, but that was certainly the joke I was making. Clint has used his "Is [blank] the best pet [blank]" for you in a variety of situations where it clearly isn't; not only that but certain species such as dolphins and whales, should simply never be kept as pets (his aquarium series has a lot of these) regardless of the circumstances. It's always a point he makes very clear in his videos, so I assume that like myelf the others were expressing surprise he didn't continue using this system despite the fact he would have had to end up ranking such creatures as the great white.

A phylogeny video on MY FAVORITE ORDER OF SHARKS *SWOONS*. Clint, watching you nerd out over these ridiculously amazing animals is a dream come true 💙💙
I love thresher sharks! However I think my favorite of the mackerel sharks is the salmon shark. I think they’re really cute and I just find them relatable for some reason. Maybe it’s their affinity for salmon lol. Fun fact about thresher sharks, The whip of their tail is so powerful that sometimes it can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen creating bubbles!
This is awesome Clint! I recently wrote a review paper on cannibalism in the animal kingdom and had a large section on the Lamniforme's oophagy for my senior seminar in biology. Great to see this video so that more people can learn of this amazing behavior.
Your enthusiasm and... Whimsy (?) are contagious. Sharks will always strike fear in my heart but the way you're so excited in your presentation draw me in. I'm not a reptile lover by any stretch if the imagination but I LOVE your channel.
I dont think they're all that misunderstood. Shark species that hunt in shallow waters don't typically attack humans, but the deep ocean is another story. If you're unlucky enough to be stranded out in the middle of the ocean without a boat, some species of shark WILL eat you given the opportunity. Look no further than the U.S.S. Indianapolis for evidence.
THANK YOU for this video! Marine animals, particularly sharks were my first love, aside from my pups, as a kid. I've swam with many types of sharks...whale sharks, blacktip reef sharks, bonnetheads and nurse sharks to name a few. Then last year I took my bucket list trip and went cage diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island, which is the mecca for these amazing creatures 💙🦈💙
I would love to see an episode about the Marsupials so the infraclass Marsupialia. 😊 This is absolutely the best class. It contains the Thylacine and the Tasmanian Devil. How can it therefore not be the best?
Speaking of suction feeding! Dunkleosteus, one of the largest Placoderms to ever exist, opened its jaws so fast, it created a vacuum where it'd be able to suck prey within range of slamming its jaws shut. It had one of the strongest bite forces of all time, a force of 8,000 Psi.
These are some of my favorite sharks too! This video also really takes me back to my childhood. I had a VHS by National Geographic about all kinds of sharks, and it was one of my favorite things to watch over and over. I also really like Blue Sharks and Leopard Sharks.
Clint, you should do the orectolobiformes, squatiniformes, and heterodontiformes next! They may not be deadly, but they're probably my three favourite orders of shark!
@@SockyNoob *potentially deadly, my bad. Fact of the matter is people find the requiem and mackerel sharks exciting because of the danger factor that the media loves to advertise. The carpet, angel, and horn sharks don't have that danger factor but they're way cooler imo
I'm so thrilled you did an episode on this order of sharks! THANK YOU!! I would love for you to have a chance to swim with some sharks under safe guidance. It's certainly on my bucket list! A review would be awesome. Hoping for a moratorium on all shark fishing and reduction of by catch.
This is awesome Clint. Went to school for these guys, and Short Fin Mako has been my favorite for a long time, but I LOVE me some Salmon Shark! Really cool to see you branching out!
Another great video. Have to admit, when you were talking about the Great White Sharks and particularly their eyes, and how they roll them to the back of their head all I could think of was that scene in Jaws and then you played that clip, that was great.
Do the sleeper shark family next (the Greenland shark is my FAVORITE shark). My favorite of the lamniform are definitely Goblin sharks. I’ve just ALWAYS been a huge lover the most unusual looking species of any animals, with the exception of the entire seahorse/hippocampus family, because seahorses in general are freaking weird (and my favorite animal overall). Ask me, and it’s bound to be the weirdest (e.g. hagfish, Sumatran rhino, gharials, cassowaries, etc.).
This is my first video ive ever seen from this channel (and an older one at that) But i just had to comment how awesome this video is. Its incredibly informative yet not dull, its also entertaining! Ill be recommending to all my other shark loving friends!
Hope I don't hurt your algorythm, but that was impressive. I got so tired of seeing NRA commercials that I became a premium member. Not only do I not see what the tube infests the interwebz with ad wise, but I play vids that can speak Mid=West U.S. English articulately a 2X speed. Love that there are folk willing to make such effort to inform the curious.
Love these videos! Any chance of a video covering the Squaliform sharks? Featuring my personal favourite shark, the Greenland Shark and their possibly mutually beneficial parasitic copepod eye infestation :D
Wish this video was around when I was studying for my vertebrate life midterm - I had COVID-19 during the week we learned about sharks and this would’ve been helpful. Your channel will definitely help me for studying for the final (which will be amphibians and reptiles) lol
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am delighted by your channel, and I love your enthusiasm for learning and teaching. My personal favorite shark of all time WAS on the list in this video, and I was happy to see her mentioned. She is, of course, the Sand Tiger Shark, or Grey Nurse, or Ragged-Toothed Shark (so called, I believe, because of her adorable smile and her cuteness which is reminiscent of Raggedy Anne,). Why the Sand Tiger isn't more popular among shark fans is a mystery to me, and I simply put it down to bad taste. The Sand Tiger Shark has it all: grace, poise, charm, teeth, and just an edgy enough reputation to keep her interesting, without totally ruining swimming for everybody the way those party-pooping Great Whites and Tiger Sharks like to do. All in all, you just can't beat the sweet, Raggedy-Anne-esque grooviness of the good old Sand Tiger. Best wishes, and thanks for letting me throw in my two cents! --N
Every time I see a Clint vid, a tiny twang of "sometimes I wish I'd stayed in veterinary medicine or kept with the animal route" runs through my mind. Don't get me wrong, I left for my own reasons & being a chef is awesome, but.... dude is LIVING THE DREAM. And I'm a little jealous, ngl.😅
Clint I like your tie. Thank you for spreading knowledge. I play your videos for my second grade class as a reward for getting their work done. Thanks.
While all the sharks are absolutely incredible and beyond cool, I'm personally hoping that rather than going right into the Carcharhiniformes, our next stop is the Squaliformes or the Orectolobifoemes, especially the latter. That being said, the orders with only a handful of representative species also deserve some love, though it might be difficult to get them a big showcase without lumping them together.
Every time I go diving at the Wreck of the Caribsea, there is no shortage of Sand Tiger Sharks. I love swimming along side them and are absolute sweethearts about it. My all time favorite shark to this day.
8:30 Dedicated Gus-Gus timestamp. I LOVE thresher sharks, ever since I played Endless Ocean. Their tails just look so graceful and pretty. Probably would while slapping a fish too!! The same game introduced me to mako, goblin, and megamouth sharks. It was, in fact, as terrifying as you would imagine to turn around in pitch black and see a giant mouth tube headed your way. One on the Carcharhiniformes would be awesome!! I remember seeing a tiger shark in a book and I thought it was even cooler than the Great White. 😎
This video was fantastic! Thanks for giving the sharks plenty of love and giving me new words to teach my friends (Intrauterine cannibalism..... neat!)
I have had the pleasure of diving with (from the top of my head) whitetip and blacktip reef shark, zebra shark, hammerhead shark, thresher shark, whaleshark, oceanic whitetip shark, lemon shark, and nurse shark and they all have one thing in common - unlike Nemo the clownfish they have never tried to or looked iterested in attacking me ;)
Clint out here doing the work of demystifying some of the most hated and misunderstood animals on earth. From insects, to serpents, to lizards. And now the sharks! What a stinkin rad world we get to live in!
Seeing as I just found your Channel I'm binge-watching your content it's so fascinating I can't believe the time flies right by, you are very passionate about what you do I love that makes it easier to learn❤ new full-time subscriber Fun fact that the buzzsaw shark those teeth were found by a young man years ago up here and Barrow and years later he turned it into the National Geographic Society that is so cool to know that somebody you know found the fossil that was unknown
I am absolutely terrified of sharks and I have that dumb phobia of diving into a pool alone and thinking that a shark is going to come at me, but they are the coolest and I love learning about them!
I had the misfortune to be a kid when Jaws came out and shark fever was everywhere. I wasn’t afraid of sharks in pools - I loved swimming, still do!- until I read a very graphic, quite age-inappropriate shark book at my great-aunt’s house, which had a pool, and then went in the pool, and boom. Seven-year-old pool shark terror. I managed to snorkel in 8’-10’ Caribbean waters recently with no fear at all, and have swum in Lake Superior (no sharks, nothing that would hurt me without my active cooperation other than water and cold, but huge and natural) but pools still might have sharks...
I love that you love sharks so much, especially the great whites, as they're my favorite, too! I would also get in the water with/swim with them if given the chance to do it in a relatively safe manner, and think it's really awesome that you want to do that, as well. I wish more people realized how special and important sharks are. We need them in our oceans. 🐋
Just as an FYI, im always into that kinda thing lol. I love your videos and look forward to the next one! You have even assisted me in learning things for school(veterinary technician). Thank you for the ever informative videos I really love learning philogeny from you.
My favorite shark of all time is the short fin Mako. I’ve always thought of them as if a great white had a baby with a tuna. They are so athletic it’s terrifyingly amazing!
hi, Clint! I've been watching your channel for about a year now and i love your energy and excitement! humbly requesting a video on rain frogs! they're such strange little creatures and i feel like more people need to know about them!!!
The Salmon Shark is so cool to me. Being born and raised a Washington State salmon fisherman and having worked in Alaska I not only relate to them, they are also the only REAL shark I would come in contact with. There are plenty of sharks in the North Pacific including the very interesting Six Gill, but none of them give off that predatory vibe. I would love to encounter one. They must be pretty damn rare or only live in very specific places.
I would love a breakdown of the phrynosomatidae family of lizards of North America. I'm particularly interested in the sceloporus genus; the near ubiquitous "blue belly" lizards that most american boys grew up catching in their backyards. They're some of the most widely recognized of lizard groups in the USA while being one of the least known about. Heck most people think they're all the same lizard.
Big thanks to Ridge for sending all these awesome wallets and the daily driver kit - and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/clint
Bring up the spiny dogfish shark. It's one high schools dissect! And they are just cool...
Can you show the full tree, I like to print them out
2:22 I could’ve sworn they did too so I looked into it. Great whites roll their eyes when the bite into prey. Apparently great white sharks have a harden sheath on the back of their eyes so when roll them back they’re protected. The process of rolling them back at certain angles can look like a nictitating membrane going over the eye because the shark eyes are so dark.

Just wanted to say: NO shark species is suitable as a pet.
And now, my neurodivergent waffling about it, for anyone who might buy a cute baby shark at a pet shop (or wherever), is below. (TL;DR = DON'T.) The last paragraph is fairly cohesive.
You might see at a pet store a baby "cat shark" (aka bamboo shark), barely 20cm (8") long, or even a "deal" on one still developing in its weird, alien-lookinh egg, translucent brown ("mermaid's purse" makes sense when you see it).

But it's just not. A lot of them don't survive long in captivity, and languish as they do. Those electrical sensors are constantly irritated by every one of the many electronic devices you'll need for even a basic saltwater tank, just as one note that most folks forget. But the sad part is that most people find that they're _"bored"_ by the sharks, cos they expect a majestic, cruising, toothy trophy, but bamboo sharks mostly lie around (don't need to stay moving like most species) and their small mouths have small teeth for small, slow prey. They _can_ dart fast, which is often prompted by bored hobbyists to "make him do something cool", harassing the poor animal into stress and injury. Even if you don't mind a "lazy" shark, the tank requirements (size, minimising stray current, safe substrate and decor, suitable tankmates [many fish pick at the little sharks, & they eat little fish & inverts])... If it survives even then... It's not worth it, for you or the shark.
Same for any animal that gets large, needs expensive setups, intensive or speciality care (including feeding requirements)... That is: REALLY think it through.

Every time I see a Clint vid, a tiny twang of "sometimes I wish I'd stayed in veterinary medicine or kept with the animal route" runs through my mind. Don't get me wrong, I left for my own reasons & being a chef is awesome, but.... dude is LIVING THE DREAM. And I'm a little jealous, ngl.😅
Glad to see Clint is still making great content. This was a captivating and informative video. Wonderful.
Clint I like your tie. Thank you for spreading knowledge. I play your videos for my second grade class as a reward for getting their work done. Thanks.
Usually I love big animals, but my favorite mackerel shark, and general shark overall, is the Thresher. I love those loooong tail fins.
Was not expecting a StanzFam clip! Awesome video!
Bigeye threshers always look like someone said something really mean to them and they're just about to cry. I just wanna hug them.
Clint's Reptiles- the last wholesome place on the internet.
Those bloopers were great lmao, never seen you before but this is cool
Very Enjoyable video, thank you. Happy Holidays
PLEASE do a video about tiger sharks! I love them (and all sharks) and I love how enthusiastic you are about all these big fishies :D
MORE SHARK VIDEOS!!! THERES NO ENOUGH GOOD SHARK VIDEOS ON UA-cam!!! I LOVE YOUR EXCITMENT FOR SHARKS!!!
While all the sharks are absolutely incredible and beyond cool, I'm personally hoping that rather than going right into the Carcharhiniformes, our next stop is the Squaliformes or the Orectolobifoemes, especially the latter. That being said, the orders with only a handful of representative species also deserve some love, though it might be difficult to get them a big showcase without lumping them together.
Every time I go diving at the Wreck of the Caribsea, there is no shortage of Sand Tiger Sharks. I love swimming along side them and are absolute sweethearts about it.
My all time favorite shark to this day.
Scary looking puppy dog nurse sharks. Love them. Dive with them on wrecks of nc. Hit me up.

Dedicated Gus-Gus timestamp.
I LOVE thresher sharks, ever since I played Endless Ocean. Their tails just look so graceful and pretty. Probably would while slapping a fish too!!
The same game introduced me to mako, goblin, and megamouth sharks. It was, in fact, as terrifying as you would imagine to turn around in pitch black and see a giant mouth tube headed your way.
One on the Carcharhiniformes would be awesome!! I remember seeing a tiger shark in a book and I thought it was even cooler than the Great White. 😎
I'm 2 minutes into this video and I'm blown away by the new info. A+ ....I dove with sharks recently and instantly came to love them.
This video was fantastic! Thanks for giving the sharks plenty of love and giving me new words to teach my friends (Intrauterine cannibalism..... neat!)
I have had the pleasure of diving with (from the top of my head) whitetip and blacktip reef shark, zebra shark, hammerhead shark, thresher shark, whaleshark, oceanic whitetip shark, lemon shark, and nurse shark and they all have one thing in common - unlike Nemo the clownfish they have never tried to or looked iterested in attacking me ;)
These videos are fascinating! Can you do a video on Greenland Sharks? 😊
Love these family tree videos! My favorite is the thresher sharks. I saw one once and it blew my mind.
Clint out here doing the work of demystifying some of the most hated and misunderstood animals on earth. From insects, to serpents, to lizards.
And now the sharks!
What a stinkin rad world we get to live in!
Good video!! Love this format
Hi Clint, I really appreciate your zoology content. It was one of my favorite classes in college
Please keep doing them!
Love this style of video from you! I'm werry into this kind of thing!
Thanks!
5:53 lol I was just thinking frogfish when you said that!
Seeing as I just found your Channel I'm binge-watching your content it's so fascinating I can't believe the time flies right by, you are very passionate about what you do I love that makes it easier to learn❤ new full-time subscriber
Fun fact that the buzzsaw shark those teeth were found by a young man years ago up here and Barrow and years later he turned it into the National Geographic Society that is so cool to know that somebody you know found the fossil that was unknown
You know, I really really liked your video. My headphones quit and with all my animals I couldn't hear it. Thank you! Love the content.
AH i was so happy when this was uploaded!!! love sharks sm and i just got a very nice book yesterday so
Way better than shark week!!!
1) cathartids next? Or vultures in some form. Please.
2) does Ridge make holsters too? Cuz...they should.
I am absolutely terrified of sharks and I have that dumb phobia of diving into a pool alone and thinking that a shark is going to come at me, but they are the coolest and I love learning about them!
I had the misfortune to be a kid when Jaws came out and shark fever was everywhere. I wasn’t afraid of sharks in pools - I loved swimming, still do!- until I read a very graphic, quite age-inappropriate shark book at my great-aunt’s house, which had a pool, and then went in the pool, and boom. Seven-year-old pool shark terror. I managed to snorkel in 8’-10’ Caribbean waters recently with no fear at all, and have swum in Lake Superior (no sharks, nothing that would hurt me without my active cooperation other than water and cold, but huge and natural) but pools still might have sharks...
Threshers are definitely my favourite. Love the long tail fin.
I love that you love sharks so much, especially the great whites, as they're my favorite, too! I would also get in the water with/swim with them if given the chance to do it in a relatively safe manner, and think it's really awesome that you want to do that, as well. I wish more people realized how special and important sharks are. We need them in our oceans. 🐋
Just as an FYI, im always into that kinda thing lol. I love your videos and look forward to the next one! You have even assisted me in learning things for school(veterinary technician). Thank you for the ever informative videos I really love learning philogeny from you.
This would have been a great resource when i was doing my observer training fr the north atlantic.
Great stuff man!
totally awesome fishing caught a massive porbeagle off the south coast of the UK worth a watch! released and tagged btw
My favorite shark of all time is the short fin Mako. I’ve always thought of them as if a great white had a baby with a tuna. They are so athletic it’s terrifyingly amazing!
The old goblin shark laughing video is still guarenteed to make me laugh like a child. So while it's not my favorite it holds a special place lol
Nice job Clint. Very informative. 😊
I love these videos!
Your enthusiasm is totally infectious!
I love the genuine love and enthusiasm for sharks!!! which is very valid because sharks are the best
hi, Clint! I've been watching your channel for about a year now and i love your energy and excitement! humbly requesting a video on rain frogs! they're such strange little creatures and i feel like more people need to know about them!!!
The Salmon Shark is so cool to me. Being born and raised a Washington State salmon fisherman and having worked in Alaska I not only relate to them, they are also the only REAL shark I would come in contact with. There are plenty of sharks in the North Pacific including the very interesting Six Gill, but none of them give off that predatory vibe. I would love to encounter one. They must be pretty damn rare or only live in very specific places.
This guy is a born teacher. Loved the video.
Great tie! Love your videos!!
I would love a breakdown of the phrynosomatidae family of lizards of North America. I'm particularly interested in the sceloporus genus; the near ubiquitous "blue belly" lizards that most american boys grew up catching in their backyards. They're some of the most widely recognized of lizard groups in the USA while being one of the least known about. Heck most people think they're all the same lizard.
I was shocked to learn that some people call them fence lizards.
Hey Clint, you should look into shark rays! We have some in the Newport Aquarium just north of me and I think you'd love to see them.
Can’t wait for Dino December! But please more sharks 🦈 I’m totally into that kinda thing! Absolutely smashing video, I learned so much, thank you.
You look like a prof with kicka** lectures!
More power to you sir ♡
