  • When the pandemic hurt his wedding photography business, photographer Carlos Gauna switched to taking drone photos and videos of great white sharks along California’s coast and discovered just how close the animals come to surfers and swimmers. Despite the close encounters, Gauna says he has not seen a single shark attack - but he still gets nervous seeing them swim near people. NBC’s Erin McLaughlin reports for Weekend TODAY.

      @epic103 3 роки тому +1

      @David Erickson - that is super rare though, mostly they swim calmly around swimmers and surfers all the time and never bother them.
      Great Whites generally don't start going after larger prey until they get around 10-12 feet. Once they start going for seals that's when you have to worry.
      Most of the attacks on people from Great Whites are mistaken for seals, the vast major of attacks occur near seal haul outs.
      A juvenile Great White hunts for fish and small rays in the shallows at that stage, they don't go after larger prey until they get older.

    Put the sound of Orca's clicking in the water and the Great Whites will retreat from the area very fast! I saw a documentary on this phenomenon. Scientist and Marine Biologist don't like this because it disrupts their lively hood! They won't come close to shore fore their favorite meal.....seals.
    .....as they say.... there's plenty of fish in the ocean for them to feast on! Keep our beaches safe! 🦈😲🤔🙄

      The water is warmer in the shallows. Most of the sharks this guy videos observes are juvenile Great Whites under 2 metres. Less competition for food and lower risk of being food themselves. Check out the guys UA-cam Channel. Malibu Artist I think.

    How can we create a shark drone guardian angel? With good data connections, and in coordination w/ lifeguards & good samartans like this, we could additionally have them run by gamers all over the world🤔. As a surfer here in Sonoma County, I would gladly pay a subscription fee!

    these sharks cannot be captivated or trained. they can be admired and they can be eaten. and there are mammals who can interfere with them by methods which also entertain, such as magnetic herding and and deliberately confusing singles into pairs into eachother into schools etc. which is not the same as training. none of this is valid until the drone either strikes the shark or is disabled by the shark or another predator or a competitor.
