Your drone actually came in handy with those folks who were teasing/enticing the shark, they stopped doing that after they saw the drone. Thank you for your wonderful videos
Because they're dumb and entitled people with no common sense. They're the reasons we have signs up on areas where sea turtles with nests informing them not to touch the eggs. They have no boundaries.
The lads will probably be water sports fans, with hundreds of hours spent actually _in_ the water. And, have therefore learned to respect the ocean. The family, on the other hand, were probably daytrippers, with little connection or respect for those surroundings.
Your videos have actually taken away alot of my fears and misconceptions about white sharks, because you have shown they are mostly docile and extremely cautious in what they approach. Now that I’m surfing almost every weekend, I wonder how many times they’ve been out there with me.
I agree 100 percent about the knowledge we have all learned here. But there is no way I could go out there surfing. I get nervous in the middle of a lake. 😳. Be safe surfer dude 🏄♂️ 👍👉.
@@missfriscowin3606 LOL I used to feel that way too, and I’d be lying if I said that I still didn’t get nervous out there at times, just now I know a lot more about there behaviors and that actually puts my mind at ease. Take care 🤙🏻🌊
@@clayton_1000rr In 02 I was at a skateboard race in Folly Beach NC. We got rained out so we boogie boarded instead. When we came in the and went up the beach the guy at the inlet said there was a good sized White Shark in the area. I didn't know it but it always reminds of something I was told years ago. If you are in the water, you are in the water with sharks.
Having grown up and lived in SoCal for 40+ years with many summers and winters spent in the Pacific Ocean, it just makes me believe that shark attacks are super rare. As your video points out, they're literally RIGHT there right next to us. When I was on the swim team, we'd sometimes practice out in the ocean by doing laps out to the buoys. Easily 500 - 1000 meters an afternoon. I can't imagine what a buffet line we must've looked liked :D But not one incident in all those years. This video just reinforces that.
How dumb can you be?! Fishing is fine... that's not the problem. You're probably a trophy hunter who gets his kicks out of shooting & killing endangered animals to make up for 'what' you lack....
Exactamundo, I think alotta people realised the BS reputation Sharks , especially GW Sharks have from Jaws is just that, BS. Most of us realised now that to see this magnificent creation in the wild, is one of life's miracle and a privileged.
@@tichu7 Those people not only had absolutely no respect for and completely disregarded the drone, they were also using it to irresponsibly track, get way too close to, agitate, and chase a shark for what? So they could take their precious selfish? Fuck those people.
Another excellent video. I really hope you can get this on local media to educate the public. We must do all we can to protect these sharks and other marine life.
@@reneesantiago6496 Dead wrong. If you have spent time in the ocean around the world over the last 35 years like I have, then you would see firsthand the issues threatening all marine life.
"I'm sure the folks mean no harm to the shark" umm their boat is literally called "slaughter time". Something tells me they don't have much respect for the ocean and its creatures.
Sharks are smarter then most people. If they don,t respect the ocean they will find out whatshappen. I'm so scared of sharks that I don't even swim in the sea. that's respect I have for them and love them.
Thank you again TheMalibuArtist for taking the time and energy to share with us your findings and bringing a voice for creatures of the ocean to us! For someone like me who isn't near the coast and is unable to visit the ocean, I'm always excited to see what you have to show. It is unfortunate to see some people engaging in the behaviors we have seen here but hopefully through your videos and people spreading the word that we'll see less of these disruptive behaviors in the future.
It's not ideal behavior but grossly over exaggerated. The shark is not a snowflake, if it feels uncomfortable it has literally the entire ocean to swim to, or even submerge more.
Im finally caught up on your last 3 posts. Your work is so beautiful and important! My gkids watch with me 🤗 Id be so disappointed if I missed one Cannot wait for this premiere! Your work is crucial. And we love you and what you do
@@boop4904 Using the drone siting to help you find chase sharks is a relative and imprecise thing. It's like noting where the whale watching boat is and head over to see if you'll see a whale. The boat operator likely saw the drone in the air and headed that direction.. The only one who knows for sure if the drone is hovering over a shark is theMalibuAritist. And we know that the drone isn't always over a shark.. in fact from his videos quite frequently he not over a shark, but off at a distance... and I'm sure being a drone operator myself there is tons of drone footage where the drone is just over water... nothing going on. So the boat operator sees the drone and takes a chance that there might be something to see.. After he begins heading to where he saw the drone.. he's not looking at the sky, but the water. What's in the water is much much more important to safety of his boat and his passengers.. and after all the drone may not even be over a shark. Another thing to keep in mind that when it comes to "rules of the road" or sky so to speak out there.. It would be the drone operators obligation to get out of the way of the boat.. not the other way around.
@@floridacracker_ Quite possibly yes.. My guess is they noted the drone and headed that way.. however, the boat operator doesn't know if the drone is actually over a shark or not.. Only the drone operator knows this.. So the boat operator takes a chance and heads that way.. If you own a boat, as I do, you must agree that you first priority is watching where your boat is and what's in the WATER .. not sky. Furthermore, maybe you aren't aware, but it's the drone operators obligation to avoid the boat, not the boat to avoid the drone. The boat has right of way.
I have lived in Michigan most of my life, and I've been an avid fisherman. I was absolutely terrified of sharks because I'm very familiar with the aggressive tendencies of smaller freshwater fish. The number of times I've fished top water and have had big fish ambush the lure out of nowhere made me aware of just how easily a fish as large as a white shark could take a human, if it wanted to. Between watching drone footage and watching spearfishing footage, it has really opened my eyes to how different large shark behavior is to the fish that I'm familiar with. I'm still not willing to go into their domain though lol.
Andy Casagrande and others have spent enough time free diving with and hand feeding sharks of all kinds to prove sharks are not really aggressive towards humans, plus Mark Rober on YT did the human blood vs fish blood shark test in shark infested waters and definitively proved sharks are not interested in human/mammal blood at all. It's different when you enter the water to compete for a food source with predators in the area and release dead fish smells aka ring the dinner bell ;but humans that get bit often act like a prey item.
Whale sharks would never "take a human" since they are filter feeders. I am glad you will avoid their domain. You sound like a total Michigander crazy. Sea life does not need that.
You have re-inspired me to go into marine biology from these videos. I’ve always been mesmerized by sharks and marine life and listening to you and watching all of these videos has helped me so much. Thank you for what you do.
I lived along the coast in southern California for fourty something years and I don't recall the water being so clear. I could never see what was right next to me while swimming. Probably a good thing after watching your videos.
Right? It is still quite murky often up North in Ventura County and when swells come it. I dive at night and have been brushed by seals and sea lions I couldn't even see approaching
@@davidbelinsky4825 In his videos the beaches look familiar but the shots of the water are not at all like I remember. Even being on a boat you couldn't see more than an arms length down. Must be kind of creepy to feel things brush against you out of no where. Not a hobby I'd be persuing. Are you sure they were seals and sea lions? Some of the sea lions I'd see lounging on the moored boats in Santa Barbara were quite large.
Here are some facts from a fisherman... In this order... Boat arrives at its intended fishing spot, the anchor is then set, then motor is shut off, then water is chummed. Chum attracts small bait fish, which attracts medium and larger sized fish, which finally attracts sharks. It takes some time for sharks to arrive meaning the boat motor would've been shut off way before arrival. Also think about all the boats that pass sharks on their way to their fishing spots. If sharks associated the motor sound with food, then they would follow the boat and already be present before the water is chummed, which is not the case.
its all bullshit these sharks dont give a shit about boats they eat seals and dead whale carcass this is west coast cali. not florida or whatever. also these are not large adult sharks these are freakin babies .
Love this . Having been interested in sharks for some years some experts believe sharks are curious and will investigate objects floating on the water .
I love how positive and beautiful your videos are. Sharks have such a bad reputation of being monsters and killers, when in fact they are beautiful animals who deserve our respect. Good job!
I hope to observe sharks in person someday. Your videos are so beautiful and calming. Thank-you so very much for sharing! Some of these people (the people interfering) are why I prefer animals over most people.
I love your footage. Where do you get most of your sightings? We go to Oceanside alot and live in Arizona. I have been fascinated with Great Whites since the original Jaws but have never seen a shark fin from shore. Keep up the good work as I can see you have a love for these creatures.
@@reneesantiago6496 lets see have you even looked it up? estimated humans kill over 50 million sharks per year mostly for their fins. it seems like a huge number but then again the estimate is since there are over 400 types of sharks in the ocean that the population is over 1 billion.
@@reneesantiago6496 Notice how in the video the author says its bad for humans and especially bad for the sharks emphasizing more importance on the sharks feeding habits rather than humans lives which should tell you a lot about this video. ;)
Was that boat called "Slaughter Time" (eye roll). Thank you for sharing your videos with us, and for encouraging others to be respectful of the sharks!
at which beach did you film this footage? i usually surf around manhattan beach and try my best not to think about how many sharks are probably around me lol
Glad you're out there spreading the right kind of message whilst gaining terrific footage, showing the two aren't mutually exclusive. It does never cease to amaze me how anybody wouldn't take very seriously the collateral of agitating a potentially dangerous wild animal in close proximity to other people. To interfere with a large White close to shore and not take seriously that when you finally leave it alone you've got an agitated White shark close to shore. Certainly it's not suddenly going to start hunting humans for sport but it is taken well outside its own comfortable behavioural routines and there are swimmers nearby. Surely some safety legislation is conceivable for that specific reasoning, if someone was shortly attacked following interference wouldn't that be negligent homicide by proxy? I saw this enclosure one time where you could pay the handlers to enter the cages with sedated wild tigers. Some young Japanese tourists were literally climbing onto one about the size of a small car to take selfies, whilst the handler was trying to keep it distracted by continually feeding it morsels of chicken laced with sedatives. I did a quick internet search for the site's safety record and just two weeks earlier a tourist was maimed with a single paw swipe and a girl killed. They don't attack the handlers, they're used to them, they kill tourists who agitate them enough to wake them up from sedation, since only enough is given to make them dopey not knock them out. And people are too stupid to realise this. When they say humans are a bigger danger than wild animals, they're talking about stupidity. Negligence of authorities and stupidity common to random people. Look from afar, leave the damn animals alone. Everybody wants to be that grizzly man that got eaten with his girlfriend. So spiritual to swim with the Great White, yeah fuck off dickhead, not even the tribal indigenous are on your side about that shit, it's not in tune with anything but ego and when they get themselves killed, despite any disclaimer authorities have to go out and shoot the thing. People are idiots man. Aliens would head desk. Humans actually need to be told to leave the giant boat sized shark with razor teeth alone. Talk about a blind evolutionary branch.
I am not a critic, although I think in one of my initial comments on watching your videos I came off as one. But if I was, I am now an admirer fully. Each video keeps getting better, and your message more concrete (to me anyway). You are doing a very valuable service, and I'm loving it. Keep educating us, as I know you enjoy also educating yourself. That was one big shark by the way. It looked to be 2/3 of the boat length at least, so ~ 12' plus yes? Thanks again TMA.
It is absolutely disgusting watching people agitate sharks in their own home like that. Leave nature alone, enjoy it from afar and stop trying to bend it to your will.
Malibu Artist goes out there in a (power?) boat, an act which is an interference and a distraction to marine life in its own right; he operates a drone (think that goes unnoticed in an ocean accustomed to millions of years of predatory bird life?) that creates notice, congestion, in a social media-crazy culture, you think he's leaving nature alone?
I always love your videos! As scared as I'm am of the ocean, sharks in particular, I'm always fascinated watching videos of them. That said, I don't understand why pple wld want to draw a shark closer to their wobbly boat! That's insane to me!
You mentioned a way you get the disrespectful boaters to remove themselves from the situation, is there a video where you talk about that in more detail? Watching those people try to agitate or get on top of those sharks is so frustrating!
Another brilliant video by TheMalibuArtist. I find these videos very serene (did I actually say that after seeing Jaws as a 6-year old?) and educational. Thank you for showing us their real nature, not the ones portrayed by Hollywood.
Your doing Great Work. Thank you. Excellent Video sequences. What type and model of Drone are you using for the video? Do you have flotation as emergency contingency on it? Thank you again.
Do you think you would be able to detect the GW at night time using Thermal imaging if the Dorsal fin was above water due to their being slightly warmer blooded like tuna or would the evaporative cooling effect off set that? It would be interesting to see if any other wavelength would allow for visualization. The dermal denticles of the shark skin may reflect light of a different wavelength. Perhaps something closer to UV or 450-460nm may give a fluorescence effect? Hummmmm Just thinking out loud as would possibly make for a very interesting photo.
Great video and I amazed at how clear the water looks in this video. Are they all from the Malibu area, L.A. County, Ventura? Just curious as I don't recall so many sharks in the early 90's when I was a frequent beach goer.
Amazing footage of one of the 3 most amazing predators in the planet. Your footage is gaining ground and has been referenced in quite a few youtube posts I have seen. That was at least a 23 foot boat, my guess it was a 25 footer. That has to be one of the largest white pointers that has ever been filmed, good on you brother... 1. Great White 2. Siberian Tiger 3.Orca...... Boom 💥
You're amazing ! .. Thank you for all of your work .. I love how much you're trying to educate people about what you've learned about innocent, beautiful sharks in THEIR TERRITORY .. I really hope that they can come up w/laws, that people cannot get so close to sharks while in boats w/these harmful, lethal motors ! .. It's so sad what us humans do are always doing to hurt beautiful nature !
I love your footage and narration. Thank you for showing these majestic creatures as they swim naturally. I told my dentist about you because her daughter is interested in marine biology but is afraid of sharks. I told her that your footage shows normal behavior and maybe they won't be as scary for her. (I do catch myself saying oh no... Nope... When I see how close to shore they are! 😅)
In the future, can you please highlight the sharks, I generally don’t see them… I can’t believe that boat was harassing the shark, is there a way to report them since you know the name of the boat ?
Wow that was definitely a huge shark. Seeing it next to the boat was a great indication of just how big it was. Thanks for another incredible and informative video!!
When boaters use your drone to locate and HARASS sharks, dip it low enough to catch their boats ID numbers. If that doesn't show them you mean business, I don't know what will.
@@kristinetrott5087 That's exactly what I did with my digital camera about 15 years ago when boats were harassing mating manatees in front of my home in Florida.
I'm calling the Cuddy Cabin outboard with the three guys following the bruiser at 20 feet in length and just a hand comparison, I'm calling that adult White at 14 feet. What you can't see is the volume or girth of the shark. One thing that happens when these sharks mature is that their volume to surface area changes a lot. These bigger sharks are not only longer, but their overall displacement is disproportionally greater. I remember watching some tagging and tissue and blood sampling done on a share in New England caught on a line and brought into a "dry dock" work area, She was 12 feet in length but so very much more disproportionally in girth than much younger sharks.
Your work is so amazing and informative. I’d love to see what you could capture and observe here on Cape Cod, MA. We have a thriving seal population and there seems to be more white sharks here every year. We rely on aerial (airplane) surveillance, tagging & study of our sharks by Dr. Greg Skomal & the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and as surfers use their Sharktivity notification app. This past week, there was a plane doing tight circles over us while we were surfing at Nauset Beach. Researching it I realized the charter companies are now hiring their own spotter plane to mark shark locations so boats can find them. The plane circled, then boats started arriving offshore. A worrisome new practice for the sharks and the surf community.
Beautiful and informative as always, though i kind of wish your drone had a bag of fish chum to release on those #sshats at the end, if it missed their boat then free food for all down below, but if it hit them then maybe some gag convulsions for the nitwits all the way back to shore :D
I just love these videos you share with us mate. These people should count themselves lucky to be so close to these beautiful and majestic animals in their natural habitat but also to always show respect
Your drone actually came in handy with those folks who were teasing/enticing the shark, they stopped doing that after they saw the drone. Thank you for your wonderful videos

"and while I am sure the folks mean no harm to the shark" as it pans into the "slaughter time" decal on the boat lol
Love this . Having been interested in sharks for some years some experts believe sharks are curious and will investigate objects floating on the water .
I love how positive and beautiful your videos are. Sharks have such a bad reputation of being monsters and killers, when in fact they are beautiful animals who deserve our respect. Good job!
I hope to observe sharks in person someday. Your videos are so beautiful and calming. Thank-you so very much for sharing! Some of these people (the people interfering) are why I prefer animals over most people.
Ich freue mich drauf!!! Thank you. 1000 Grüße aus Deutschland ( Germany) from Tina
I love your footage. Where do you get most of your sightings? We go to Oceanside alot and live in Arizona. I have been fascinated with Great Whites since the original Jaws but have never seen a shark fin from shore. Keep up the good work as I can see you have a love for these creatures.
Amazing! Sharks need to be protected and it's nice that most people that you see respect them ❤️
Protected from what?? Their numbers keep increasing
@@reneesantiago6496 lets see have you even looked it up? estimated humans kill over 50 million sharks per year mostly for their fins. it seems like a huge number but then again the estimate is since there are over 400 types of sharks in the ocean that the population is over 1 billion.
@@reneesantiago6496 Notice how in the video the author says its bad for humans and especially bad for the sharks emphasizing more importance on the sharks feeding habits rather than humans lives which should tell you a lot about this video. ;)
@@rltrahan1325 EXACTLY!!
Was that boat called "Slaughter Time" (eye roll). Thank you for sharing your videos with us, and for encouraging others to be respectful of the sharks!
at which beach did you film this footage? i usually surf around manhattan beach and try my best not to think about how many sharks are probably around me lol
You will probably need 3 barrels, to keep it from going down.
lol
We need a guy like you on every beach to track the sharks and warn people who get too close.
Glad you're out there spreading the right kind of message whilst gaining terrific footage, showing the two aren't mutually exclusive.
It does never cease to amaze me how anybody wouldn't take very seriously the collateral of agitating a potentially dangerous wild animal in close proximity to other people. To interfere with a large White close to shore and not take seriously that when you finally leave it alone you've got an agitated White shark close to shore. Certainly it's not suddenly going to start hunting humans for sport but it is taken well outside its own comfortable behavioural routines and there are swimmers nearby. Surely some safety legislation is conceivable for that specific reasoning, if someone was shortly attacked following interference wouldn't that be negligent homicide by proxy?
I saw this enclosure one time where you could pay the handlers to enter the cages with sedated wild tigers. Some young Japanese tourists were literally climbing onto one about the size of a small car to take selfies, whilst the handler was trying to keep it distracted by continually feeding it morsels of chicken laced with sedatives. I did a quick internet search for the site's safety record and just two weeks earlier a tourist was maimed with a single paw swipe and a girl killed. They don't attack the handlers, they're used to them, they kill tourists who agitate them enough to wake them up from sedation, since only enough is given to make them dopey not knock them out. And people are too stupid to realise this.
When they say humans are a bigger danger than wild animals, they're talking about stupidity. Negligence of authorities and stupidity common to random people.
Look from afar, leave the damn animals alone. Everybody wants to be that grizzly man that got eaten with his girlfriend. So spiritual to swim with the Great White, yeah fuck off dickhead, not even the tribal indigenous are on your side about that shit, it's not in tune with anything but ego and when they get themselves killed, despite any disclaimer authorities have to go out and shoot the thing. People are idiots man. Aliens would head desk. Humans actually need to be told to leave the giant boat sized shark with razor teeth alone. Talk about a blind evolutionary branch.
Amen to that!
What amazing footage all around. I appreciate your PSA regarding shark interactions. I just love your channel.
I am not a critic, although I think in one of my initial comments on watching your videos I came off as one. But if I was, I am now an admirer fully. Each video keeps getting better, and your message more concrete (to me anyway). You are doing a very valuable service, and I'm loving it. Keep educating us, as I know you enjoy also educating yourself. That was one big shark by the way. It looked to be 2/3 of the boat length at least, so ~ 12' plus yes? Thanks again TMA.
For your UK viewers (like me), there is the Shark Trust based in Plymouth! Nice shots, as usual 😊
It is absolutely disgusting watching people agitate sharks in their own home like that. Leave nature alone, enjoy it from afar and stop trying to bend it to your will.
Malibu Artist goes out there in a (power?) boat, an act which is an interference and a distraction to marine life in its own right; he operates a drone (think that goes unnoticed in an ocean accustomed to millions of years of predatory bird life?) that creates notice, congestion, in a social media-crazy culture, you think he's leaving nature alone?
Awesome, beautiful animals. Thank you for sharing such remarkable footage with us. You are also a wonderful narrator.!!🦈
I always love your videos! As scared as I'm am of the ocean, sharks in particular, I'm always fascinated watching videos of them.
That said, I don't understand why pple wld want to draw a shark closer to their wobbly boat! That's insane to me!
Thank you for always uploading such suspenseful, yet educational videos. Love ot
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. 🦈🦈🦈
I always love your vids💯🦈💙👌
You mentioned a way you get the disrespectful boaters to remove themselves from the situation, is there a video where you talk about that in more detail? Watching those people try to agitate or get on top of those sharks is so frustrating!
Another brilliant video by TheMalibuArtist. I find these videos very serene (did I actually say that after seeing Jaws as a 6-year old?) and educational. Thank you for showing us their real nature, not the ones portrayed by Hollywood.
Love your video work. Beautiful content and very informative. Great job!
Such a crucial message. Thank you for all you do, and so beautifully too.
are these videos in Malibu beach?
Your doing Great Work. Thank you. Excellent Video sequences. What type and model of Drone are you using for the video? Do you have flotation as emergency contingency on it? Thank you again.
Beautiful footage and commentary.
Thank you
Amazing footage as always!
You work is amazing I show your videos to my kids at school. thank you for respecting nature. Our hero!!
Wow. What a big one. Stunning beautiful 💖
This is the best and accurate channel of sharks in the whole youtube. Thanks for such an amazing work.
It's so cool to look at sharks this close. I live in Sweden and we don't have sharks of that size here! Sooo coool! 😄
My favourite channel 💛
Lindo vídeo... Animal fantástico e lindo❤❤❤!!!
Amazing as always! Thank you so much for sharing your footage and thoughts!
Do you think you would be able to detect the GW at night time using Thermal imaging if the Dorsal fin was above water due to their being slightly warmer blooded like tuna or would the evaporative cooling effect off set that? It would be interesting to see if any other wavelength would allow for visualization. The dermal denticles of the shark skin may reflect light of a different wavelength. Perhaps something closer to UV or 450-460nm may give a fluorescence effect? Hummmmm Just thinking out loud as would possibly make for a very interesting photo.
Great video and I amazed at how clear the water looks in this video. Are they all from the Malibu area, L.A. County, Ventura? Just curious as I don't recall so many sharks in the early 90's when I was a frequent beach goer.
Amazing footage of one of the 3 most amazing predators in the planet. Your footage is gaining ground and has been referenced in quite a few youtube posts I have seen. That was at least a 23 foot boat, my guess it was a 25 footer. That has to be one of the largest white pointers that has ever been filmed, good on you brother... 1. Great White 2. Siberian Tiger 3.Orca...... Boom 💥
You're amazing ! .. Thank you for all of your work .. I love how much you're trying to educate people about what you've learned about innocent, beautiful sharks in THEIR TERRITORY .. I really hope that they can come up w/laws, that people cannot get so close to sharks while in boats w/these harmful, lethal motors ! .. It's so sad what us humans do are always doing to hurt beautiful nature !
I love your footage and narration. Thank you for showing these majestic creatures as they swim naturally. I told my dentist about you because her daughter is interested in marine biology but is afraid of sharks. I told her that your footage shows normal behavior and maybe they won't be as scary for her. (I do catch myself saying oh no... Nope... When I see how close to shore they are! 😅)
In the future, can you please highlight the sharks, I generally don’t see them…
I can’t believe that boat was harassing the shark, is there a way to report them since you know the name of the boat ?
Wow that was definitely a huge shark. Seeing it next to the boat was a great indication of just how big it was. Thanks for another incredible and informative video!!
I know you are in Malibu, but have you found more sharks north of Pt Dume or south?
Amazing as always mate!
❤️ 4 sharks & people encounters, your perspective & views much respect ✊
You do a great job and these are very unique videos we needed to see
Great footage and insights, as ever! Kudus from Portugal
When boaters use your drone to locate and HARASS sharks, dip it low enough to catch their boats ID numbers. If that doesn't show them you mean business, I don't know what will.
And then report them to Fish & Wildlife service!
@@kristinetrott5087 That's exactly what I did with my digital camera about 15 years ago when boats were harassing mating manatees in front of my home in Florida.
Brilliant! I go to malibu every weekend to swim and chill on the beach and I tell everyone about your channel!
This is why your educating on sharks is vital..great videos 👍
What county were you filming in?
I would not swim to a boat named slaughter time.
Me either, what a name to give a boat
Wow very well explained clearly love from India
Sharks: Very magnificent animals that should be respected and preserved. Humans: Not so much. 😣
I'm calling the Cuddy Cabin outboard with the three guys following the bruiser at 20 feet in length and just a hand comparison, I'm calling that adult White at 14 feet. What you can't see is the volume or girth of the shark.
One thing that happens when these sharks mature is that their volume to surface area changes a lot. These bigger sharks are not only longer, but their overall displacement is disproportionally greater. I remember watching some tagging and tissue and blood sampling done on a share in New England caught on a line and brought into a "dry dock" work area, She was 12 feet in length but so very much more disproportionally in girth than much younger sharks.
Those jerks chasing down the shark and using the drone...that's so frustrating. I wish they could be reported and fined for actions like that.
To be honest this channel has a place on Discovery to educate people. Top notch content that deserves 👏👏
Another big fan of your footage and your message.
So, was the boat 'messing' with the shark actually named "Slaughter Time"? (SMH) figures...
Your work is so amazing and informative. I’d love to see what you could capture and observe here on Cape Cod, MA. We have a thriving seal population and there seems to be more white sharks here every year. We rely on aerial (airplane) surveillance, tagging & study of our sharks by Dr. Greg Skomal & the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and as surfers use their Sharktivity notification app.
This past week, there was a plane doing tight circles over us while we were surfing at Nauset Beach. Researching it I realized the charter companies are now hiring their own spotter plane to mark shark locations so boats can find them. The plane circled, then boats started arriving offshore. A worrisome new practice for the sharks and the surf community.
Did drone record video?
Great footage and great messaging
Love your videos!!! Love sharks!
Wow. Your videos are amazing.
Where was the last shot with the two girls in water and you see the fins?
Great video 🎥👀channel and narration!
Gigantic shark! Magnificent creature👊👍
This is such a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and informative as always, though i kind of wish your drone had a bag of fish chum to release on those #sshats at the end, if it missed their boat then free food for all down below, but if it hit them then maybe some gag convulsions for the nitwits all the way back to shore :D
Ok, I'm intrigued. How DO you discourage people from following your drone to the sharks? What video is that in?
I just love these videos you share with us mate. These people should count themselves lucky to be so close to these beautiful and majestic animals in their natural habitat but also to always show respect
Amazing contrast ..we need more people like you! Thank you 🦈🖤
I understand so much more about this mysterious animal because of your videos and narration, thank you 💜
