Actually most hooks will dissolve over time. There's a lot of cases where they say you're better off not removing the hooks because you'll do more damage to the fish than good...especially if you gut hook a fish/they swallow it.
@@snerakreggirti1380 does this hypothesis come about from testing your theory on humans, or perhaps you were involved in the testing, do you recall how agreeable it was walking around with a hook in your cheek for weeks or months.
Not very surprising, sharks have sharp teeth, I take it that a lot of those hooked by mistake end up cutting the line not intended for them and keep the hook there for months maybe years...
Optimus Prime that isn’t how it works at all, first of all, it would be almost impossible for a hook meant for smaller species of fish to even pierce a shark. Even if it does manage to get itself hooked the angler has almost no control of whether to remove the hook or not because the shark would simply break off. Stainless steel hooks are the problem because they could take years to rust out, but these hooks are so small its basically a piercing for sharks.
It doesn't really surprise me I have personally caught 4 sharks. They are attracted to your bait just like every other fish and you can't control if they bite or not. The key is making sure you actually take the hook out and let them go. A lot of people are apprehensive to take a shark into their boat and remove the hook so they just cut the line hence the sharks with hooks stuck in their mouth.
She's very literally the shark whisperer. The new sharks are showing up, knowing other sharks have trusted her and received love from her. She's one of those very few who gives me hope in the future.
Well she said it. Her parents told her theres no sea monster down there. Maybe they were the story from Little mermaid. She is the product of that mermaid. Now she is the shark princess and doctor.
You can really tell she has passion because she's still respects them as wild animals. She's not underestimating them, she's not getting to relaxed with them, she's just compassionate and patient and attentive to their needs. This is what I wish every so-called animal activist that acted like every creature they touched with a house pet was like instead.
@@atta1798There is communicating & then there's *COMMUNICATING. For those sharks to be communicating to other random sharks in the ocean that this woman is trustworthy & is there to help them is just mind blowing in my opinion. One of the coolest things I have ever seen!!!
@@KatHeart-dd6sk that's great .keep on learning new things .... Keep an open mind....this is normal ..we just live one life m we do not get to see n learn more things
Fish travel in schools,some to hunt, some for protection. Group behavior and seamless coordination is built into their minds. We need to vocalize to communicate, they clearly have another means.
There are a few documentaries about how certain individual sharks are very docile, calm, inquisitive, and even down right friendly. It’s sad how so many people just see them as mindless killing machines. 🥺
What a friendly human, let's eat him/her ! Lol oh no wait she helped us, let's eat the other humans instead of the beautiful underwater creatures ! Yaaaayyy
@@rodicapopescu2038 you know that it is most likely to get killed by a cow then a shark? If you don't attack a shark they don't attack you, the only shark accidents are when they confuse you for a prey under certain circumstances.
@@rodicapopescu2038 Statistically, people get attacked by dogs more often than sharks. Yeah, man's best friend and all but if a dog has been abused (happens more often than it should and it revolts me) or they are a street dog with a pack- they may attack you with the slightest provocation. People just tend to ignore it because we are so used to seeing dogs around us. And then-boom! A man/woman has been admitted to the hospital because someone's aggressive German shepherd or a pack of stray dogs has mauled him/her viciously. They are fighting for their life and will probably be scarred for life.
Its more likely to get attacked my land animals in general because we're on land[so the "its more likely to" isnt really proving much]. Buuuut sharks arent #1 for human attacks in water. Still lets not pretend they can't be dangerous. Anything that lives can be dangerous to something.
Every organism on Earth communicates with their species.. even if it's plants. When a roach or a mosquito make it into your house, it's not a coincidence that another comes later using the same opening/crack
shark 1: dood! you've got a hook in your mouth! shark 2: really? i'd never have noticed! shark 1: very funny! no seriously, i know a human who's kinda like a shark dentist! she removes hooks for us - no charge!! shark 2: you're killing me with these one liners! or was that a two-liner? shark 1: very funnier! don't believe me huh? well follow me! some time later, arrives at Cristina shark 1: told ya! there she is!! shark 2: (sees Cristina removing hook from mouth of another shark) um, where's the end of the queue?
@@catherinedubrovna7756 I want to, but I don’t want to interfere too much. I would have a few little snuggles and then I would go back up! I mean if they get used to you and you have a special bond with the sharks, they will trust you. But the reason the come in the first place is because they are curious. They want to find out about our species. Not in the way us humans do obviously, but they want to know why we are here. Why we sometimes have funny smells (scuba gear) on us and sometimes we don’t. The only reason that they may bite is to either protect themselves or to find out how a person feels and tastes. Don’t forget, human babies do the same thing! Your mouth could sense more than your hands. So babies try to get a grip on things around them by chewing on stuff. The same goes with sharks. They are basically just clever water dogs! If a dog was in the wild, I would probably say a tiger shark is more docile than a wild dog. They are much smarter than people think!
But without being thoroughly prepared as they are, we just can't communicate with them. For example seafarers who went overboard and disappeared in the blink of an eye, probably taken by shark.
I have seen this before, but since I ran into it again, I just want to say that I love her outlook and attitude. She is kind and appreciative. I love when she said that they allow us into their world. I never thought of it that way. If more people have the same attitude and appreciation of people and things around us, the world would be so much more lovely. Thank you for sharing your story.
This is kind of mind blowing to me actually. I had no idea that sharks could display this level of communication. For sharks to use word of mouth referrals to the shark doctor is incredible to me. God blessed this woman, what a cool life she gets to live.
It's that animal are extremely good at reading behavior. Plus sharks almost reads mind because they can sense electricity and brains and nerves works with it. So you only need one shark or two understanding that you are a good thing and all others will follow. Animal don't lie or judge, they have no reason to think that one shark is dumb or a liar.
@@nathanielgaskin9377 I'm pretty sure my dog judges me and tries to lie about things she's done, like bite the drywall or stole my hat and hid it with her toys.
The most incredible thing in the whole video is the fact that new hooked sharks keep appearing along with the ones that already got help and now want to be pet by her. It's like their underwater communities treat this lady like the hero of the town! So wholesome! 😊
@@iamthatiam1944 Lol i agree we humans are so fascinated to know that we are not the only intelligent beings lol. Animals have their own way of expressing and coexisting. All life does. All life has sex, get angry, sad, happy, hungry and etc. God made them as well.
Just goes to show, kindness is a universal language. My mom always says animals arent daft, they know who you can trust. Nice to see such a lovely moment, shared nudge, a stroke and a pat, happier and hook free. The world needs more people like this.
Yes exactly. I just saw a video with someone who fish-killed a shark with a wooden bat. All the comment section was how badass this guy is. When you have a human brain, to kill an animal is very easy but you need to have a great spirit to be like this woman. If we expect to develop spiritual then we need more humans like her In this world.
@@jasonturner2206 nah, she was doing what was right, helping another animal in distress because we are all living things on this world just trying to get by and that was a shark that she knew and trusted
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6d how do you figure? Yes they can I’ve watched plenty of channels and stories and heard where they can sense if someone is scared of them and it makes them go into defense
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6d Exactly. They can sense heartbeats increasing and every minute muscle movement as they are super sensitive to electrical fields to a degree we humans never could (naturally). They can probably smell if you 'anxiety sweat' as that releases chemicals that emanate from your body. They can pick up the physical results of stress, but they don't know what our stress is. There's no telling what ocean animals can do or sense or what special abilities they have. There's a video of a humpback blocking a woman that dove with them all the time from a group of orcas. Like the humpback wouldn't let the woman get off her pectoral fin. Elephants working in India will refuse to put posts in holes (their 'job' they get rewards for every log they put in) when there is a puppy or cat in the hole. It shows maybe not altruism but they show awareness that's another life form and the wooden post will harm it PERMANENTLY. That's some high brain functioning, truly. There's another video of villagers freeing a baby elephant and the mother putting her trunk up and trumpeting what could be interpreted as a thanks. She did it several times and the third time several humans threw one hand in the hard and let out a happy whoop. Only then did the elephant mother and the rest walk back off into the jungle. Humpbacks' "songs" can be tracked from one side of the ocean to the other through the various pods. And it will sound IDENTICAL. They've captured them teaching them to each other. They can be up to 2 hours long. And when the 'learner' is repeating after the 'teacher,' the teacher will interrupt the learner and repeat the previous section again so that the learner gets it just exactly so, and a perfect repeat. It was amazing how quick they could teach each other the songs. Every year around springtime it would start up around the Americas and by the end of the year had crossed the Pacific and the ones near Australia and such would know the year's new song. They're finally deploying A.I. to try and 'decode' the songs, if possible. I don't think it's songs. Seems like a waste of time and there's no touching, a typical humpback behavior when socializing. I dare say it's that year's hot gossip being spread across THEIR world. Who is doing what or who had a kid, etc. Like a letter you would have written your military significant other overseas in like the WW2 era. The highlights of daily life condensed from a year and hundreds or thousands of man-hours of goings-on all transcribed to a 2 or 3 page letter. Sharks have SOMETHING in them that's above most fish. And fish are not stupid. Look up "David Attenborough narrates Japanese Puffer Fish Nest Build" here on UA-cam. It's 3 minutes long and literally sucked the wind out of me (audibly, I might add). They know to come to her for help. Dolphins are well-known to come up to random humans if they're tangled or can't get something undone. Search this site for "dolphins seek help from human". There are dozens and dozens and dozens of videos of this type of behavior from both mammals (dolphins and whales and a few species of shark, not all though) and aquatic vertebrates such as most sharks, some fish, some turtles, etc., will seek others to clean them. There are electric eels and other scary fish that are straight up predatory that come to smaller fish and do a weird waggle-like motion and open their mouths wide and the small fish that would be a meal cover it from head to tail and clean all the parasites and dead skin and stuff off. It's like a nice scrub to exfoliate your skin when you've been camping for a week. Animals aren't stupid. We just don't pick up their language cues too often and we hardly have scratched the ocean floor, much less seen any quantity of it and the animals are even less studied. Every time they search new ocean areas, new species are discovered by the dozens. Literally every expedition. Do sharks recognize fear? Probably not. Do they understand a creature's vital signs are going off, possibly tapping a genetic shark dna code that this heightened pulse animal will be easier to eat- yep, it's probable. Most shark experts say they have predatory triggers, just like wolves or bass. But horses, for example, I know about somewhat. They are VERY good readers of body language. The non-verbal stuff. And fish across species and size can do a weird body motion and the would-be prey fish know it's safe to clean the bigger fish's mouth on the inside and that they won't be eaten at this time and place. Or check out the shrimp that has a fish for a spotter. I forget the species but is extremely famous. It's a nearly blind shrimp that is a cleaning freak and the fish needs him for a tiny burrow. The shrimp needs the fish to warn of danger. A certain flick of a particular fin and the shrimp knows to sit still. A different flick means follow me away from the burrow just a bit and I'll take you to your algae garden you keep. I'm not making this up. The shrimp basically grows algae near the burrow for food. And yet another certain flick of a particular fin means get in the burrow right now with zero haste and when the fish does that, dude, you've never seen a shrimp move with such grace and speed. It's unreal. The borrow is the diameter of a 50-cent piece, about an inch and a half. The shrimp's long 'whiskers' coming all off his body in different places are up to 8" long so he always keeps a touch on the fish. They are smarter than 99% of people give them credit for!!!! P.s.- I didn't even touch on the intelligence or playfulness of octopus's. They are smarter than most human toddlers. Fascinating creatures those octopus are.
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6dYes they can. Sharks have receptors in their heads that sense electric fields. Fear makes your heart race which gives off an electrical signal.
@@rushfan5563 thanks for explaining…I knew they could bc I’ve heard plenty mention if you stay calm they normally wont mess with you but any sudden loud noise/movements or panicking they don’t like.
She deserves Heaven InshAllah. "Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "While a man was walking on his way he became extremely thirsty. He found a well, he went down into it to drink water. Upon leaving it, he saw a dog which was panting out of thirst. His tongue was lolling out and he was eating moist earth from extreme thirst. The man thought to himself: 'This dog is extremely thirsty as I was.' So he descended into the well, filled up his leather sock with water, and holding it in his teeth, climbed up and quenched the thirst of the dog. Allah appreciated his action and forgave his sins". The Companions asked: "Shall we be rewarded for showing kindness to the animals also?" He (ﷺ) said, "A reward is given in connection with every living creature".
@Pupsi Bubu you act like women were just sitting around doing fucking nothing while they were actually risking death by giving men children and then raising them by themselves. enough with this stupid competition complex you have
@Pupsi Bubu It's hilarious that you think you know that a man made fire for the first time. How would we ever figure out who first made fire? The history of marine science and nautical travel would be a disaster without women. They invented the underwater telescope, lifeboats that were actually helpful, and aquariums. They also discovered the DNA structure and sex chromosomes, so biology wouldn't have gone anywhere quickly without women either.
@Pupsi Bubu Wow, yeah, that's definitely how we do proper science, by making biased assumptions based on irrelevant ideas. We're never going to know who first started making fires (but since women have made the food throughout ancient and recent history, I can make my own assumption based off of that :)). I don't understand how the army or police force relates, if you're arguing that men are good at being violent and braindead, you're right.
White rider, oh I understand. But if the goodness of her heart. She doing something she really cares about. People do the same when animals needs are human help. They start to cry. When we see the problem we help.
Just shows that there are levels of knowing communication between living creatures, that overcome fears and phobias. Like feel sensors. But it takes a special human to have the courage to share those vibes. What a wonderful gift of unity! 🤗
You have to be really a good and kind person to receive such trust from other animals. It is amazing how much common we have with so many animals around us that understand the language of love and friendship. So beautiful to be able to experience this first hand with wild (stranger) animals. Anyone who has grown up with pets will know how much they are like us.
@@somedumbozzie1539 Nope, not a nurse shark (Orectolobiformes). They look more like Red shark, Wobbegong and Jackson shark. My uninformed guess is Grey reef shark. If so, then medium aggressive. In no way labradors, since it is form of grey shark, Carcharhiniformes. Same order as tiger shark, bull shark, blue shark, white tipped ocean shark.
@@somedumbozzie1539 not a grey nurse! they are more opened mouthed, with more forward protruding teeth as well as two anal fins. these sharks are more than likely reef sharks, either blacktipped or gray, or a combination of both.

@Martin These people choose to think like children or at least pretend to. They won’t actually be approaching grizzlies in the National parks and probably not sharks either😆.
At first I thought it would heal over like an earing does to an ear, but when I think of them eating food and the hook being caught and jiggled around and possibly penetrating/cutting more of their flesh, I am sure it adds more pain.. poor guys. :C

Anyone who can remove a hook from my mouth is a friend for life. I'll sign over my organs. As a ginger my fellow reds can identify with tooth/mouth pain.
The undersea world is older and wider than our human one. Imagine having a spot where you can get hooks removed? I've seen some species that will find local colonies of fish that clean them when they post up there, like smaller fish swin with sharks, and its beautiful
"There are no monsters in the sea, only the ones we make up in our heads"... This pretty much goes for the whole animal kingdom. I have no words for this woman. I am in awe of her and my eyes are filled with tears of joy. We need more of this. Lots more.
I made a similar quote while riding my mini bike in the dead of night through a spooky area and realized. “The only thing to be afraid or scared of out here is me. (Humans)”
Right on Words, words, words! Our eyes have been opened once again by someone bold, insightful, and gentle, and who was recognized by the sharks for her deepest motives: to help, to be a friend, to cooperate and make this a better place to live.
Makes me sick watching these poor creatures suffer like that. This woman is an angel on Earth. Sadly there are many who don't get help. We NEED every creature on this planet and every creature has the same right to live as you do.
And to believe scientists are still questioning and doing studies on them to determine if they even have feelings. How egotistical the human race can be sometimes....

@@CosmicCourtOfLaw Mankind is many magnitudes more cruel and terrifying than all the sharks on the planet combined. Any woman- or man for that matter- who has stood up to oppression is considerably braver than someone who swims with sharks(friendly tiger sharks in clear water while covered head to toe in protection)- especially when you compare the number of deaths caused by sharks to something like the Taliban.
Off topic but kinda reminds me of the me too movement. One someone "says" you do something, it's like the world just makes up their minds that you did. Get fired from your job, lose friends and family members who want nothing to do with you, courts that throw the book on you, and all just cause someone SAID you did something. No proof or evidence, just mob mentality.. kinda like sharks and pitbulls. Someone says a story about a pit that did something (true or false is irrelevant), not all pits are trained like that. Most are the biggest hams that want their tummies rubbed. Not their fault one human chose to force them into being vicious AND nontrusting. Kinda abusive, animal just wants to be loved and have fun but you're telling them NO you will be angry and mean. If it's not me then its enemy. Doing that kind of brainwashing to any creature is abusive.
Russell LeBlanc You’re describing the act of lynching. People who are taking justice into their own hands do those things. You’re innocent until proven guilty. If people act in a different way they are to blame. The Me too movement naturally came with some pitfalls, but if you compare the victims on both sides you see that it has done more good than harm. It’s just disgusting to see people try to tear down the message when it’s about speaking up against powerful people who misuse their positions. If someone lies about something and accuses someone of something he/she didn’t do it’s bad, but that doesn’t mean that other people are bad as well. Just because there are many white supremacist you can’t say that each and every white person is bad. And again if you’re getting fired before the verdict has been published blame your employer, because he didn’t wait and jumped straight to conclusions. If your family and friends abandon you blame them for not holding on to you before you’re proven guilty/innocent. If the court is unfair then blame them for not listening to you or the evidence. How is it someone else’s fault if other people react to something in the wrong way ?
@@hinata5736 honestly the me too movement would be fine IF it was about PROVING their alligations before claiming them. You cannot just publically print that kind of slander about someone without having SOLID irrefutable evidence that that person did what is being alleged. It's insaine that men have lost their jobs BEFORE they were proven guilty. Yeah they did Weinstein the right way but afterwards?? No everyone just started throwing names publically without anything solid. One example is Matt Lauder. She says he did this to me.. he claims "I sure did. SO MANY times over n over.. and the best part was it was consensual".. who's word they take?? The accuser.. who lost their job? Matt. If I were him I would sue the BREAKS off NBC for firing me based off some alligation.
I never have labeled animals as monsters. Now my dogs is a Monster, but that's his name and because he was born on Halloween and he likes being on the bed. So when everyone else has the bed monsters under the bed, I got a bed monster on top the bed.
I think Sharks are extraordinary. They have been in this world longer then us. They have adapted. I love they way they survive and how they glide in the water. I don’t like when people say they are “ monsters,” “ they eat anything they see.” They have this mental block, like you said, that keeps them from seeing real beauty. “ Fear is what keeps you from seeing beauty.” - Will Smith- Shark Week.
This is amazing, beautiful, incredible! To think that the creature we fear most (especially after “JAWS”) has its head in her lap like a puppy is amazing.

@FinbarrOSleibhin Assuming that the mind of lower-classed animals is not as complex as humans', taking into account social and environmental pressures, the aforementioned species are able to perceive these energies better than we do. It is similar to what we say: take away one sense and the others become heightened.
@FinbarrOSleibhinno doubt! Once I went to the park on some mushrooms which I’m sure elevated my aura as I was in a state of joy and unconditional love. I literally had a lost baby bird fly up to me and stay with me the whole night. I ended up taking her home then to the rehab place the next morning ❤ it touched my heart more than anything else I can think of
@FinbarrOSleibhinI think that it often has to do with smell especially. We secrete all kinds of different chemicals for different situations each with their own unique scents. Maybe the release of serotonin is detected by animals better? Animals quickly pick up on fear and nervousness so I'm sure they are also capable of picking up those positive emotions as well.
“Sharks communicate? YES!” Shark: “You won’t believe it, this wiggly thing came from the surface and removed that sharp thing in my mouth. You gotta see her, she might help you too.” Other Sharks: “Seems legit”

For people thinking that the hook will just rust out in a short amount of time, hooks used to catch large animals like sharks are very large and probably plated with thick metal, so it would probably take a very long time for the hooks to rust out.

What type of shark is this?
Is this a shark called tiger shark?
Anyone who remove suffering must be blessed.
Actually most hooks will dissolve over time. There's a lot of cases where they say you're better off not removing the hooks because you'll do more damage to the fish than good...especially if you gut hook a fish/they swallow it.
@@snerakreggirti1380 does this hypothesis come about from testing your theory on humans, or perhaps you were involved in the testing, do you recall how agreeable it was walking around with a hook in your cheek for weeks or months.
@@steveellis9288 was that supposed to be a complete sentence/thought?
Yep
Amen
I can't believe how many sharks have these in their mouths... this woman is their hero for sure!
Not very surprising, sharks have sharp teeth, I take it that a lot of those hooked by mistake end up cutting the line not intended for them and keep the hook there for months maybe years...
Optimus Prime that isn’t how it works at all, first of all, it would be almost impossible for a hook meant for smaller species of fish to even pierce a shark. Even if it does manage to get itself hooked the angler has almost no control of whether to remove the hook or not because the shark would simply break off. Stainless steel hooks are the problem because they could take years to rust out, but these hooks are so small its basically a piercing for sharks.
This proves fish can feel hooks. So sports fishing has to stop.
It doesn't really surprise me I have personally caught 4 sharks. They are attracted to your bait just like every other fish and you can't control if they bite or not. The key is making sure you actually take the hook out and let them go. A lot of people are apprehensive to take a shark into their boat and remove the hook so they just cut the line hence the sharks with hooks stuck in their mouth.

@@rodicapopescu2038 you know that it is most likely to get killed by a cow then a shark? If you don't attack a shark they don't attack you, the only shark accidents are when they confuse you for a prey under certain circumstances.
@@rodicapopescu2038 Statistically, people get attacked by dogs more often than sharks. Yeah, man's best friend and all but if a dog has been abused (happens more often than it should and it revolts me) or they are a street dog with a pack- they may attack you with the slightest provocation. People just tend to ignore it because we are so used to seeing dogs around us. And then-boom! A man/woman has been admitted to the hospital because someone's aggressive German shepherd or a pack of stray dogs has mauled him/her viciously. They are fighting for their life and will probably be scarred for life.
Wait, a massive land animal is more likely to kill you than a creature that lives in the ocean???? Who would've guessed
Its more likely to get attacked my land animals in general because we're on land[so the "its more likely to" isnt really proving much]. Buuuut sharks arent #1 for human attacks in water. Still lets not pretend they can't be dangerous. Anything that lives can be dangerous to something.

@@catherinedubrovna7756 I want to, but I don’t want to interfere too much. I would have a few little snuggles and then I would go back up! I mean if they get used to you and you have a special bond with the sharks, they will trust you. But the reason the come in the first place is because they are curious. They want to find out about our species. Not in the way us humans do obviously, but they want to know why we are here. Why we sometimes have funny smells (scuba gear) on us and sometimes we don’t. The only reason that they may bite is to either protect themselves or to find out how a person feels and tastes. Don’t forget, human babies do the same thing! Your mouth could sense more than your hands. So babies try to get a grip on things around them by chewing on stuff. The same goes with sharks. They are basically just clever water dogs! If a dog was in the wild, I would probably say a tiger shark is more docile than a wild dog. They are much smarter than people think!

But without being thoroughly prepared as they are, we just can't communicate with them. For example seafarers who went overboard and disappeared in the blink of an eye, probably taken by shark.
Adorable is something you'd say about a puppy or a kitten. Amazing is probably closer.

It's that animal are extremely good at reading behavior. Plus sharks almost reads mind because they can sense electricity and brains and nerves works with it.

lol no, sharks don't sense fear
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6d how do you figure? Yes they can I’ve watched plenty of channels and stories and heard where they can sense if someone is scared of them and it makes them go into defense
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6d Exactly. They can sense heartbeats increasing and every minute muscle movement as they are super sensitive to electrical fields to a degree we humans never could (naturally). They can probably smell if you 'anxiety sweat' as that releases chemicals that emanate from your body. They can pick up the physical results of stress, but they don't know what our stress is. There's no telling what ocean animals can do or sense or what special abilities they have. There's a video of a humpback blocking a woman that dove with them all the time from a group of orcas. Like the humpback wouldn't let the woman get off her pectoral fin. Elephants working in India will refuse to put posts in holes (their 'job' they get rewards for every log they put in) when there is a puppy or cat in the hole. It shows maybe not altruism but they show awareness that's another life form and the wooden post will harm it PERMANENTLY. That's some high brain functioning, truly. There's another video of villagers freeing a baby elephant and the mother putting her trunk up and trumpeting what could be interpreted as a thanks. She did it several times and the third time several humans threw one hand in the hard and let out a happy whoop. Only then did the elephant mother and the rest walk back off into the jungle. Humpbacks' "songs" can be tracked from one side of the ocean to the other through the various pods. And it will sound IDENTICAL. They've captured them teaching them to each other. They can be up to 2 hours long. And when the 'learner' is repeating after the 'teacher,' the teacher will interrupt the learner and repeat the previous section again so that the learner gets it just exactly so, and a perfect repeat. It was amazing how quick they could teach each other the songs. Every year around springtime it would start up around the Americas and by the end of the year had crossed the Pacific and the ones near Australia and such would know the year's new song. They're finally deploying A.I. to try and 'decode' the songs, if possible. I don't think it's songs. Seems like a waste of time and there's no touching, a typical humpback behavior when socializing. I dare say it's that year's hot gossip being spread across THEIR world. Who is doing what or who had a kid, etc. Like a letter you would have written your military significant other overseas in like the WW2 era. The highlights of daily life condensed from a year and hundreds or thousands of man-hours of goings-on all transcribed to a 2 or 3 page letter. Sharks have SOMETHING in them that's above most fish. And fish are not stupid. Look up "David Attenborough narrates Japanese Puffer Fish Nest Build" here on UA-cam. It's 3 minutes long and literally sucked the wind out of me (audibly, I might add). They know to come to her for help. Dolphins are well-known to come up to random humans if they're tangled or can't get something undone. Search this site for "dolphins seek help from human". There are dozens and dozens and dozens of videos of this type of behavior from both mammals (dolphins and whales and a few species of shark, not all though) and aquatic vertebrates such as most sharks, some fish, some turtles, etc., will seek others to clean them. There are electric eels and other scary fish that are straight up predatory that come to smaller fish and do a weird waggle-like motion and open their mouths wide and the small fish that would be a meal cover it from head to tail and clean all the parasites and dead skin and stuff off. It's like a nice scrub to exfoliate your skin when you've been camping for a week. Animals aren't stupid. We just don't pick up their language cues too often and we hardly have scratched the ocean floor, much less seen any quantity of it and the animals are even less studied. Every time they search new ocean areas, new species are discovered by the dozens. Literally every expedition. Do sharks recognize fear? Probably not. Do they understand a creature's vital signs are going off, possibly tapping a genetic shark dna code that this heightened pulse animal will be easier to eat- yep, it's probable. Most shark experts say they have predatory triggers, just like wolves or bass. But horses, for example, I know about somewhat. They are VERY good readers of body language. The non-verbal stuff. And fish across species and size can do a weird body motion and the would-be prey fish know it's safe to clean the bigger fish's mouth on the inside and that they won't be eaten at this time and place. Or check out the shrimp that has a fish for a spotter. I forget the species but is extremely famous. It's a nearly blind shrimp that is a cleaning freak and the fish needs him for a tiny burrow. The shrimp needs the fish to warn of danger. A certain flick of a particular fin and the shrimp knows to sit still. A different flick means follow me away from the burrow just a bit and I'll take you to your algae garden you keep. I'm not making this up. The shrimp basically grows algae near the burrow for food. And yet another certain flick of a particular fin means get in the burrow right now with zero haste and when the fish does that, dude, you've never seen a shrimp move with such grace and speed. It's unreal. The borrow is the diameter of a 50-cent piece, about an inch and a half. The shrimp's long 'whiskers' coming all off his body in different places are up to 8" long so he always keeps a touch on the fish. They are smarter than 99% of people give them credit for!!!! P.s.- I didn't even touch on the intelligence or playfulness of octopus's. They are smarter than most human toddlers. Fascinating creatures those octopus are.
@@DonaldMcLemore-n6dYes they can. Sharks have receptors in their heads that sense electric fields. Fear makes your heart race which gives off an electrical signal.

"Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "While a man was walking on his way he became extremely thirsty. He found a well, he went down into it to drink water. Upon leaving it, he saw a dog which was panting out of thirst. His tongue was lolling out and he was eating moist earth from extreme thirst. The man thought to himself: 'This dog is extremely thirsty as I was.' So he descended into the well, filled up his leather sock with water, and holding it in his teeth, climbed up and quenched the thirst of the dog. Allah appreciated his action and forgave his sins". The Companions asked: "Shall we be rewarded for showing kindness to the animals also?" He (ﷺ) said, "A reward is given in connection with every living creature".

@Pupsi Bubu It's hilarious that you think you know that a man made fire for the first time. How would we ever figure out who first made fire? The history of marine science and nautical travel would be a disaster without women. They invented the underwater telescope, lifeboats that were actually helpful, and aquariums. They also discovered the DNA structure and sex chromosomes, so biology wouldn't have gone anywhere quickly without women either.
@Pupsi Bubu Wow, yeah, that's definitely how we do proper science, by making biased assumptions based on irrelevant ideas. We're never going to know who first started making fires (but since women have made the food throughout ancient and recent history, I can make my own assumption based off of that :)).

Like the man that released a wolf from a steel trap,took a couple of days to gain trust,she had pups waiting(he could tell she was nursing),great story.
Well said Melissa. I'd give anything to experience something like that.

The undersea world is older and wider than our human one. Imagine having a spot where you can get hooks removed? I've seen some species that will find local colonies of fish that clean them when they post up there, like smaller fish swin with sharks, and its beautiful
Cristina is a shining example of the human race. She is just incredible.
She's what humanity should be
Yup. The pinicle of humanity.
I wish she was indicative of the human race.
"There are no monsters in the sea, only the ones we make up in our heads"... This pretty much goes for the whole animal kingdom. I have no words for this woman. I am in awe of her and my eyes are filled with tears of joy. We need more of this. Lots more.
I made a similar quote while riding my mini bike in the dead of night through a spooky area and realized. “The only thing to be afraid or scared of out here is me. (Humans)”
Right on Words, words, words! Our eyes have been opened once again by someone bold, insightful, and gentle, and who was recognized by the sharks for her deepest motives: to help, to be a friend, to cooperate and make this a better place to live.

There are braver women than Rosa Parks. You seem to have a racial agenda. This woman is a HERO to sharks, so she is certainly extremely BRAVE! Saying someone is “bravest” or “most beautiful” is subjective, so you shouldn’t take this literally. Good day.
@@sofnaji lmao wtf cleopatra is such a random name
@@CosmicCourtOfLaw Mankind is many magnitudes more cruel and terrifying than all the sharks on the planet combined. Any woman- or man for that matter- who has stood up to oppression is considerably braver than someone who swims with sharks(friendly tiger sharks in clear water while covered head to toe in protection)- especially when you compare the number of deaths caused by sharks to something like the Taliban.
Once something is labeled “monster” most people close the door and their minds to it. Here is a great example of an awakened human being!
Off topic but kinda reminds me of the me too movement. One someone "says" you do something, it's like the world just makes up their minds that you did. Get fired from your job, lose friends and family members who want nothing to do with you, courts that throw the book on you, and all just cause someone SAID you did something. No proof or evidence, just mob mentality.. kinda like sharks and pitbulls. Someone says a story about a pit that did something (true or false is irrelevant), not all pits are trained like that. Most are the biggest hams that want their tummies rubbed. Not their fault one human chose to force them into being vicious AND nontrusting. Kinda abusive, animal just wants to be loved and have fun but you're telling them NO you will be angry and mean. If it's not me then its enemy. Doing that kind of brainwashing to any creature is abusive.
Russell LeBlanc
You’re describing the act of lynching.
People who are taking justice into their own hands do those things.
You’re innocent until proven guilty.
If people act in a different way they are to blame.
The Me too movement naturally came with some pitfalls, but if you compare the victims on both sides you see that it has done more good than harm.
It’s just disgusting to see people try to tear down the message when it’s about speaking up against powerful people who misuse their positions.
If someone lies about something and accuses someone of something he/she didn’t do it’s bad, but that doesn’t mean that other people are bad as well.
Just because there are many white supremacist you can’t say that each and every white person is bad.
And again if you’re getting fired before the verdict has been published blame your employer, because he didn’t wait and jumped straight to conclusions.
If your family and friends abandon you blame them for not holding on to you before you’re proven guilty/innocent.
If the court is unfair then blame them for not listening to you or the evidence.
How is it someone else’s fault if other people react to something in the wrong way ?
@@hinata5736 honestly the me too movement would be fine IF it was about PROVING their alligations before claiming them. You cannot just publically print that kind of slander about someone without having SOLID irrefutable evidence that that person did what is being alleged. It's insaine that men have lost their jobs BEFORE they were proven guilty. Yeah they did Weinstein the right way but afterwards?? No everyone just started throwing names publically without anything solid. One example is Matt Lauder. She says he did this to me.. he claims "I sure did. SO MANY times over n over.. and the best part was it was consensual".. who's word they take?? The accuser.. who lost their job? Matt.
If I were him I would sue the BREAKS off NBC for firing me based off some alligation.
I never have labeled animals as monsters. Now my dogs is a Monster, but that's his name and because he was born on Halloween and he likes being on the bed. So when everyone else has the bed monsters under the bed, I got a bed monster on top the bed.
I think Sharks are extraordinary. They have been in this world longer then us. They have adapted. I love they way they survive and how they glide in the water. I don’t like when people say they are “ monsters,” “ they eat anything they see.” They have this mental block, like you said, that keeps them from seeing real beauty. “ Fear is what keeps you from seeing beauty.” - Will Smith- Shark Week.
This is amazing, beautiful, incredible! To think that the creature we fear most (especially after “JAWS”) has its head in her lap like a puppy is amazing. It makes you imagine I wonder if they watch her go and think “Where’s she going? Come back. We’ll be good!”
It must be like a magnet for them and her as well!
I think it’s really cool that she’s responsible and wears a protective suit. Much respect to her.
That's because rubbing shark skin the wrong way will cut you up.
@@scottwpilgrim ...and sticking your arm down it's throat will get you biten. Not sure what's responsible about that, it's just a sensible case of self-preservation.
@@tonydization No it won't. Have you watched the video? There is a clip with her arm in a sharks mouth, and it does not bite.

She is gifted. Animals do know who they can trust.
@FinbarrOSleibhin Assuming that the mind of lower-classed animals is not as complex as humans', taking into account social and environmental pressures, the aforementioned species are able to perceive these energies better than we do. It is similar to what we say: take away one sense and the others become heightened.
@FinbarrOSleibhinno doubt! Once I went to the park on some mushrooms which I’m sure elevated my aura as I was in a state of joy and unconditional love. I literally had a lost baby bird fly up to me and stay with me the whole night. I ended up taking her home then to the rehab place the next morning ❤ it touched my heart more than anything else I can think of
@FinbarrOSleibhinI think that it often has to do with smell especially. We secrete all kinds of different chemicals for different situations each with their own unique scents. Maybe the release of serotonin is detected by animals better? Animals quickly pick up on fear and nervousness so I'm sure they are also capable of picking up those positive emotions as well.

better than dying from infection from the hook in their mouths like thousands do ! the ones as don’t have a a her to help them line fishing might be a better way to fish but it’s not so good for sharks the other ones we don’t eat is it as this shows
This shows that animals respond to love and care.

Yep. All animals, including us.
We are animals duhh. What do you expect. If we are alive and possess emotions why dont you think other species carry the same thing. We were given emotions from god lol we didnt ask for it. Life is the same all over in differnt forms
For people thinking that the hook will just rust out in a short amount of time, hooks used to catch large animals like sharks are very large and probably plated with thick metal, so it would probably take a very long time for the hooks to rust out.

Actually most hooks will dissolve over time. There's a lot of cases where they say you're better off not removing the hooks because you'll do more damage to the fish than good...especially if you gut hook a fish/they swallow it.
