Here's the previous video that discusses the shark that is injured and is showing a tendency to get close to humans. ua-cam.com/video/XOXAlvM4j8E/v-deo.htmlsi=_RWOrreL82T6oaLW
Your premise and hypothesis are faulty. To isolate the question you are asking , do injured sharks approach humans more frequently than non injured sharks? You would first have to control for the variable question: Are the injured sharks more likely to come the population of uninjured sharks that approach humans more readily or from the population of uninjured sharks that don’t approach humans so readily?
@@jdenmark1287 that's exactly what I was pondering - it seems plausible that more curious sharks are not only more likely to approach humans, but more likely to get close enough to boats to make injury a risk.
He does. Doesn't mean people listen. Can't remember verbatim what he said but it was something along the lines of "I will take my drone very close to people and it has shark decorations to hopefully make people notice that a shark is there." Not sure what his setup is, but he def has some way of notifying people. I know as fact that he shows footage to many people once they get to shore if they were close.
@@StopBanningMaStuff Yeah honestly people not knowing is the best thing for them. With how many videos he has of situations like this, it happens OFTEN all day long 365 days a year, and there's still barely any attacks. Just let it happen and observe.
I think the work you've done documenting these types of encounters has done more for shark education and disproving the idea that these are all mindless man eating monsters, than anyone has ever done before. Keep it up
@Spike-au The shark/s that just waltz on by may have not been hungry then. They may be like us, only eat at designated times of the day, or theymay have already fed on fish.
Could his injury make it more difficult to hunt his natural prey? Making him more interested in “slower” easier prey. Sad about his injury, but it seems like often in the wild, animals are more prone to targeting easier perhaps more un-natural prey when sick or injured. Kind of scary he appears to be approaching humans with more frequency. I seldom comment on videos, but yours are truly amazing, beautiful, and informative. Thank you for all your great work!
I thought the same thing, thinking of the attack on Vladmir Popov where the tiger shark had a physical deformity that made hunting more difficult for it.
@@behnix7766 I can't remember the exact details, I think it was something to do with one of its fins that would affect its speed. When they autopsied it, it was very malnourished. The only "food" in it was body parts from Vladmir.
Holy crap i thought I was going to pass out from holding my own breath watching how close that shark got to the swimmers. It's such a visceral reaction that I jad just watching that. Thank you for sharing such breathtaking (literally) footage and please stay safe while doing this using yourself as the swimmer or boarder. 🙏
I busted my ankle a few years back and for rehab I started swimming, after getting pool fit I started ocean swimming so I could stretch out further, I'd be careful about going out just past the breakers near the flags where all the people were, I'd do laps up and down the beach for a couple of hundred yards, I also got my dive certificate so had a good understanding about sharks. Lately there's been more attacks over here in Au so I was becoming a bit more vigilant always keeping an eye behind me and tried to be a smooth as possible with minimum splash. One day I was preparing on the beach with my fins to swim out around a deep water bouy that the surf boats were using about 300 yards out, just as I put a foot in the water the shark alarm went off and I went and talked to the patrol, they said a bull shark had been spotted out near the bouy, if I'd got in 15 min earlier I would haven been out there with it and a bully ain't what you want to bump into all alone. This spooked me enough to reconsider my fitness program to more gym orientated equipment lol
Daaamn, you're super brave to even have considered swimming out in the ocean like that :D I wish I had the balls to do it, so I stick with diving instead, at least you can see "more" of what might be lurking behind you :D
Those are the bane of shallow water bay fishermen around here. A coworker once got bit by a bull shark doing just that, fishing in the bays and estuaries this side of the big barrier islands comon out here. From then on, he was known as Sharkbait, and when he called me, a picture of a bull shark came on my phone.
Yikes! When you go diving, get those goggles that have eyes on the back of your head too! I’m sure the salt water is nice to swim in for many reasons but not worth the risk…
@@miguelurrutdarkorangefan2750well if you are fishing in the water in or near an estuary, you needn’t wait until you are bitten to name yourself shark bait, or “a few sharks short of a happy meal”.
When I first moved to Australia from the UK I felt so confident swimming in the ocean. Now that I've lived here for almost 6 years and I've been paying attention to all the shark attacks, I really don't feel comfortable going past knee deep water now. The video of that guy that got eaten by a shark near Sydney a few years ago and the video of the Russian guy that got eaten in Egypt has really messed me up. Ignorance is bliss, I honestly wish I'd never done so much research on this stuff because now when I get in the ocean all I can see are flashes of people being EATEN by another animal, it's wild.
@@TheMalibuArtist It seems to follow the 'shark v shark' protocol where it tries to stay away from the toothy end of the other animal, and keep the potential threat in view. Didn't that biologist Erich Ritter say that sometimes humans can bring an attack up on themselves unintentionally, because they triggered the shark's instincts? Kind of like dogs will chase cars and bicycles; That being said, it looks like the shark is trying to assert it's authority over those two paddle boarders
@@USCFlash Living beings don't have to be hungry to attack. There are several possible reasons why it could be aggressive but the shark still didn't attack - so why not give it credit for that?
Watched dozens of these videos in total awe and never commented, but it has to be said: Thanks for documenting these incredible encounters in a way no one did before. Amazing educational value, love your channel. Lots of love.
I honestly don't get why people swim so far away from the shore/beach. Especially knowing the presence of sharks in Malibu. You can take a dip in the ocean, cool down and thats it. Not swim 200+ feet away.
Sharks bite because they have no hands. Literally. This is how they interact with the world, is with their mouth. So don't be something interesting to them, or else.
@@Triple_J.1Stop that old theory already! They have no interest is investigating things.They bite when they're hungry, as simple as that.The only reason they don't like humans is because of the clothes and wet suits. Not because of human bones as they say. They love to eat seals that have stronger and more dense bone structure than humans.
I bet you haven't read news about swimmers getting bitten by a shark at knee-level water 50 feet away from the shore. It isn't really about how far out you are but whether you unfortunately encounter a hungry shark.
If they had been attacked, they'd have been closer to lottery winning values, statistically speaking. Not that either chance would actually influence the other...
Yes, you may not be a trained, credentialed marine biologist, but WOW the work you're doing is amazing! There is no doubt that your body of work is now, and becoming more and more every day, groundbreaking in the field of shark studies. And THANK YOU.
Imagine being those ppl that had zero clue about a big Great White being that close to them, only to be scrolling YT later and realizing that they are the ones in the video. I would imagine that would be a pretty big “Oh shit” moment lol! Great work as always!
Nice content! I got nervous watching that shark so close to those kids. So glad they were not attacked! I have spent so much time surfing here in CA, I wonder how close to sharks I’ve been and not known it! Thanks for this non-sensational intelligent video on shark/human behavior.
Loved this video so much! I’m used to just watching your awesome instagram videos but you’re an amazing narrator and I am ready to watch your future shark documentary! I love how you are neutral as well in the way you describe their behavior. I hope you do get to find the injured shark again and we can learn more from him.
Another fantastic video, but this one was a little scary too. It would be interesting to hear a reaction from those swimmers if they ever stumbled upon your video.
WOW!!! That was my worst nightmare! The very reason I do not swim in the ocean! Seeing your drone would fricken me out knowing what it means!! Good work!
I’ve been binging shark videos since over the weekend I was a paddleboarder who ended up seeing a white up close and personal in Malibu.Terrifying but amazing at the same time.
Oh my gosh!!!! Is this a common occurrence to where Great Whites approach swimmers without the swimmers even knowing?? Because all you see on the media is how the shark, or Great Whites just swim up and attack swimmers all the time. Great video. Love all of your work. Thanks
More beautiful shark footage Carlos. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 I noticed that mark on that shark's back and I thought "is that that shark that was hit by a boat?" and it was. The wound looks almost completely healed. Sharks do have amazing healing capabilities. Maybe this shark slightly struggles to find food and it could be more curious as a result? Oceanic white tip sharks are known to investigate anything out of the ordinary. Oceanic white tip sharks live where food is hard to find.
that is some incredible footage - I held my breath when the shark was almost in between the swimmers - I was afraid for the girl a bit on the side swimming but it shows how uninterested a GW shark is once he investigated and confirmed that it is human. As long as we don't overfish their prey I believe that we can coexist with respect for each other easily.
"... shows how uninterested a GW shark is once he investigated and confirmed that it is human." To suggest that humans have even the faintest inkling about what drives a shark to predate or not is utter hubris. There's no way to know if it was the number of people and watercraft present, its size, confidence level, the time of day, if the shark had already eaten recently, etc., that resulted in it not coming in for even an exploratory bite. Humans are not their normal diet, but sharks DO predate on humans. Maybe the do so only rarely, but thats still more often than I'd care for.
I’m wondering *why* an injured shark would approach humans over and over again. My heart was in my throat watching this video. Thank you for all the time and hard work you put into these videos Carlos. Once again, fantastic footage!
Hello there. Amazing content Have you considered putting some kind of alarm at your drone to alert people about shark position? Also to have a direct line with coast guard to inform. I really like your videos, I can hear your passion and see the magnificent of the sharks.
I fear for the outcome of this particular sharks continued curiousity in humans in the water. I hope I'm wrong but it's because of your channel, that spotting atypical behaviour is now possible. Incrdible (and scary) footage. Thanks for shaing, Carlos.
Sharks curiosity only pertains to food. If it shows an interest in anything, its to see if its worth eating. If a shark is attracted to something, its because it thinks it might find a meal. One of these days, there will only be one or two swimmers, closer to dusk, no kayaks, and a shark that is hungrier and more confident. And it will make a different decision.
Jeeeesus that was a close one. The first thing I'd do if I saw a drone close would be to get back to the beach asap - but saying that I've seen your videos since more or less the start hahah
Ooof, that was quite scary! I am glad nothing happened, and I hope the shark heals quickly and learns to stay away from humans, before anything happens (to it or to a human)! The other close encounters were amazing, too! 🦈🦈🦈
I love this type of video. It goes to show how incredible and non-aggressive sharks really are. If people got that close to bears or lions it probably wouldn’t end well. But these close encounters are fairly common with sharks without incident. However they need to be respected and that paddleboarder was way too close. It’s interesting to witness shark and human behaviour in these instances. Thank you for these videos 🙏 ❤
With the paddleboarders.... what an amazing, beautiful, scary!!! experience!! And the swimmers--holy moly!!!! My first thought on the injured shark was that it was acting like the injured lions etc. Because they can't hunt as affectively, they go after "easy" prey like humans. The injured shark could have easily taken one of the swimmers but it chose not to. Your videos have definitely proven that sharks are NOT the killing machines folks make them out to be.
Woah, that's such amazing footage, that was incredibly close. Do you usually film at the same beaches? Almost surprised how clueless they were about your attempt to inform/warn them about the shark, but i guess with how many people there are it makes sense that most won't recognize your drone.
going out into the water is a new level. good luck. there's a guy in australia that seems to have a friendly shark following his boat around. fascinating.
Great video. I would think with all the technology that the drones will have something that you can show a video of yourself communicating to people. So that way you can communicate with people and day , shark. Maybe somebody should come out with that technology
I would imagine the shark with an injoury, may stay closer to shore while recovering, hunting easyer fish in shallows, may make it look like its aproaching people, but they are swiming along the coast hunting fish, people just happen to be in their way at some swiming and surfing places, is what i see happening.
Maybe... or: that shark remembers the boat running him over and now has an eternal grudge against boats but not against humans but knows humans and boats are connected and is trying to piece the puzzle together to figure out how to exact his revenge.
Holy sh*t I had my heart in my throat. That shark had a smorgasbord of easy pickings and still chose not to even try. Not the man eating monsters they are made out to be.
That paddle boarder was way too close to that shark. He was practically on top of him. I understand being curious, but c'mon. I think that bothered me more than the shark approaching the swimmers.
I agree. But it is also demonstrative of how chill they can be around humans. I don't imagine a wild bear or lion would tolerate a human getting that close.

Great video. I would think with all the technology that the drones will have something that you can show a video of yourself communicating to people. So that way you can communicate with people and day , shark. Maybe somebody should come out with that technology
Bedankt
beautiful creatures.
I would imagine the shark with an injoury, may stay closer to shore while recovering, hunting easyer fish in shallows, may make it look like its aproaching people, but they are swiming along the coast hunting fish, people just happen to be in their way at some swiming and surfing places, is what i see happening.
Good theory
Maybe... or: that shark remembers the boat running him over and now has an eternal grudge against boats but not against humans but knows humans and boats are connected and is trying to piece the puzzle together to figure out how to exact his revenge.
And feasibly this injury is a consequence of a more curious shark getting closer to people.
I don't think animals are familiar with revenge/resentment/retribution.
Those are the domain of the human
Were you able to find those swimmers later to show them your video?
no. I was too far away.
@@TheMalibuArtistThat’s too bad. I’d love to hear their reactions.
How come you never show the shore so we can see where it is?
@@kellymahoney3847 He did that previously. Unfortunately the attention it brought was troublesome!
@@kellymahoney3847 read you question again and you'll find you answer ;)
Holy sh*t I had my heart in my throat. That shark had a smorgasbord of easy pickings and still chose not to even try. Not the man eating monsters they are made out to be.
Yeah, for sure! Filming it as it happened was heart pounding too.
@@TheMalibuArtist I can't even imagine what you go through seeing that in real time and not knowing the outcome.
@@TheMalibuArtist What part of the world was this ?
The way that shark just decided to let everyone live to see another day is well all I can say is thank you shark.
Sharks Happen another fantastic fact based channel on UA-cam.
That paddle boarder was way too close to that shark. He was practically on top of him. I understand being curious, but c'mon. I think that bothered me more than the shark approaching the swimmers.
I agree. But it is also demonstrative of how chill they can be around humans. I don't imagine a wild bear or lion would tolerate a human getting that close.
@@jogglehead Until they're not. Pattern behavior doesn't mean predictable behavior.
Agreed.

Darwin Award nominees for sure
