    I should state by the way, when I say there’s only been one tagged and tracked Megamouth shark, this is as of currently. Only one record exists in the scientific literature - there may be megamouths that have been tagged in recent years, but the data is yet to be published.

      @@redemissarium I’m not a massive fan of redirection, if it gets to that stage I think you’re probably either too close or you’re in the water with a shark that is over curious. Saying that, if it’s a last resort then yes, but it should only ever be done as a last resort, and by people who are experienced in doing it. (Every day people should never try doing this with a shark). There are plenty of steps that can be taken first, without having to redirect a shark with your hand.

    Favorite shark ever, I kind of want them to remain an oddity. I think I remember getting attached to this weird looking big mouth when I learned the 1st sighting was off the coast of my home state and I have a bucket list of coming across one when out there one day. Is it true that the manta has been reclassified into the mobula family? Im afraid in still going to be calling them manta lol

    • @Preston241
      @Preston241 8 місяців тому +3

      I was curious about your manta question. I’m no biologist so I just checked the wiki.
      “In 2018, an analysis of DNA, and to a lesser degree, morphology, found that Mobula was paraphyletic with respect to the manta rays; that is, some members of genus Mobula are closer related to the members of the genus Manta than they are to fellow Mobula, and the researchers recommended treating Manta as a junior synonym of Mobula.”
      The above statement cites the following source:
      White, W. T.; Corrigan, S.; Yang, L.; Henderson, A. C.; Bazinet, A. L.; Swofford, D. L.; Naylor, G. J. P. (2018). "Phylogeny of the manta and devilrays (Chondrichthyes: mobulidae), with an updated taxonomic arrangement for the family".

      @@skycloud4802 I know of an earlier instance of what happened to Irwin which took place off Manado Indonesia, probably before the turn of the century. Allegedly a diver was hovering in front of a ray and got hit in the chest by the tail as it turned and fled. At the time I heard the story which would have been probably around 2003 - I thought it was just a sort of generic cautionary “don’t interact with the wildlife” tale, but I seem to remember then researching it later on and finding some old newspaper article or something like that about it …

    I love these sharks, for me its almost obsession largely because my GF is working on a marine biology degree and we actually saw one off of Japan and your right its epic! But its also absolutely infuriating that we truly know diddly about them. Equally infuriating is we were just diving for fun and yup no pics(bear in mind this predates go pro and this was just fun . the big one is we've never(to my knowledge) recorded one feeding. The jaws are...I can't describe it! I mean cmon, it a shark with lips!!! The jaws actually protrude out to such a degree had we not seen it do it I wouldn't have believed it was the same animal. Sadly he didn't feed, he was... Yawning? Stretching? Dunno but it was kinda scary. I mean just because we've never found large prey in one doesn't mean they don't eat bigger animals. I mean , we consigned Greenland sharks to being totally harmless. 😳boy were we wrong! Seriously though, despite how brief it was it seared into my memory and I MUST KNOW!!!!😵

  • @McCuipandKitty-qw1wj
    @McCuipandKitty-qw1wj 11 місяців тому +3

    I think megamouth sharks are awesome. Personally I thought the light part of the upper jaw was similar to the curtain on some other fish species like the carp. The carp uses this as a part of its breathing process to complete the closure of its mouth. Does the one on the megamouth shark move and could it have a function to seal the mouth while it clears its stomach? Some sharks empty their stomach’s of bones and debris by turning them inside out. Does the megamouth have a different method for clearing its stomach which involves sealing its mouth shut completely with this to filter waste before discharging it?

    You should've seen the conversation I was a part of on Facebook a week ago. A whole day back and forth where 3 people were absolutely adamant that the Megamouth Shark was the Megalodon, I'll give you a minute to clear your headache. As for why we're seeing more of them, it could be because technology has improved to the point where we can observe them in their natural habitat more easily?

    would love to get the chance to see a shark in the wild and film it, i find the megamouth sharks to be rather ugly but so rare they are fascinating

    I think the reason for them being seen more frequently is because technology has made it easier for us to see where they live. The first one discovered was accidentally caught by fishermen.

    I vote that the next creature feature poll be either the salmon shark or Lamna ditropis. LET THE PEOPLE (me) DECIDE!

    Can we hope for a "JAWS" style poster promoting your research on the megamouth with the title "GUMS" and a picture of Zippy? Maybe as a fundraiser?

    When I was a kid, I had a toy megamouth and its mouth glowed in the dark. I think it came out of a box of fruit snacks.

    Watch National Geographics documentary Sharks from 1982. Beautiful old documentary and introduced me to Megamouths.

    what is up with their teeth, or whatever those jaws contain? is it a solid plate? is it nubs? it’s hard to tell what’s going on in there.
    Megamouth #6 went right past me where i lived in Oceanside back then! I never knew about the tag, I can’t believe they’ve only tagged one ever.
