  • Part 2 of the Cape Cod Great White Shark Search. In this episode, I join the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) for a day of shark research aboard research vessel "Dark Star". Later, we find a truly unique but well known shark in the area.

    More Cape Cod! I grew up on Cape Cod, and owned my first house there. I left 20 years ago, but certainly the area has a unique place in my heart. I have been surprised to see the shark population around Cape Cod change during my lifetime, from rare to commonplace. So very interesting!

      I know it's crazy! I'm so used to visiting the dunes in P-town and it was never considered sharkey. That was Cali or Montauk.... Such a change!

      Great white sharks have exploded in numbers and size all around Australia as well. It’s because commercial fishing was stopped 25 years ago in Australia

      I saw a video the other day on Orcas hunting whites, the marine biologist host tagged a heap of whites, as soon as Orcas showed up the sharks scattered, one diving super deep and buggered right off to a new location. Different Orcas are actively hunting them for their livers, possibly a reason they are showing up in areas they weren't common before.

    As a person with severe scoliosis, I feel for and love this shark. Thank you for all the amazing videos you put out.

      Ha! I was just about to say something similar, although mine is not as pronounced, as the curvature goes from side-to-side.
      That shark has managed to get to a good age, despite the challenges faced, and I have to wonder if it endures any pain, or if its watery habitat cushions it against the pressures that
      I, and many others with scoliosis have to cope with.
      PS: More Cape Cod, thanks Carlos. Oh, and thanks to the AWSC for sharing their space with you.

  • @dangerousbeans8067
    @dangerousbeans8067 Місяць тому +35

    The shark with scoliosis reminds me of a white shark in south Africa with a more extreme case and the researchers believe that she can't Hunt for herself but feeds off kills made by other sharks . An example of the social aspect to white sharks that we are still learning . Great vid keep up the good work

  • @nl1733
    @nl1733 Місяць тому +20

    Yes, More Cape Cod please. The cultural differences in the animals and shark/ human interaction, along with the proximity to ongoing research is fascinating and adds another level of complexity to the, well, show. Thanks for all the good work.

    More Cape Cod! We live in Maine, and we never saw white sharks growing up, and we swam in the ocean a lot! But now that the kelp beds rebounded and seal populations have exploded, we are seeing the return of the apex predator, the Great White Shark…so exciting, a bit scary, but still exciting to see our healthy marine ecosystem. Looking forward to more great videos from you whether it’s from California or New England. Thank you for spotlighting our big white sharks.

      Great whites have been seen in scotland just not scientifically proven check out these channels re great whites in UK waters ,
      Sharkbytes
      Airbourne pirates
      Or do a generic search on you tube for great whites in UK waters you will find some great documentaries 👍

    More Cape Cod please! I lived there for a year back in 1992/1993, was on countless whale- watch- trips, loved it but I never saw a Great White.

    More Cape Cod, of course! We have noticed that some snakes develop arthritis in their spines as they get older, not all snakes but enough to recognize it in snakes. If that shark is older, like you seemed to think, it could also be arthritis or even cancer.

    More Cape Cod videos ! I never seen a great white shark with a scoliosis that severe. I'm almost 70 and suffered from severe scoliosis My whole life. I can't imagine the pain that shark is in and still functioning. It is very painful to move so I am sure that shark is very special being able to survive and be that big with that condition is amazing. Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me.❤

We were fishing on a lobster ball in a 1000 foot of water and it just popped up out of nowhere.i circle of us for 15 minutes I just went away

    More Cape Cod! It's great to share the Conservancy research, increase understanding, and reduce fears of the shore. It would also be awesome to go out on a shark like this or whale watch boat (haven't done that one since I was a kid). Until then, we have your videos...
    As a bi-coastal person (MA to CA and back again), I've spent much time in the Malibu area and on The Cape. So it's supercool to see this much anticipated video from you, esp. now that I'm more curious about marinelife, the ocean - and sharks - than ever.🌊🦈🛥️
