[@Tyler.O]

As someone who used to regularly spearfish around southern California, I had believed (having heard the same thing from other divers) that white sharks generally stayed out of the kelp beds for whatever reason and so they considered somewhat more "safe" areas to hunt around...BUT clearly I was mistaken and the footage speaks for itself. Besides that, videos like this teach and help reprogram my views on white sharks to see them more as extremely misunderstood creatures than the cold, beady-eyed killing machines they're often portrayed as. They are really majestic though, albeit a bit mysterious...but I suppose that's why they're so feared. As much as they've grown on me, I would still be hesitant about encountering one in the wild while I'm snoping around their backyard with just fin/goggles...But even then, I'm much less likely now to die from an instant heart attack, having seen their more friendly (and photogenic) side. Thanks for everything!

[@Scarshadow666]

Agreed! If I was to encounter a shark in the water, I would hope to do it surrounded with professionals/shark conservationists and a chain mesh diving suit. Because then I'd have things that could not only help prepare for a shark encounter, but I'd also be able to hopefully pet one (depending on if the shark would be okay with that).

LOVE watching your videos, and listening to the commentary!! Thank you so much! I hate to see what humans are doing to these amazing animals, but appreciate the advocacy from so many on their bahalf - you are on that list!

If it makes us sad to see the fishing line and other disturbing man made injuries, I can’t imagine what it does to you. 😢

[@aaronbrown1638]

It probably rips his jaw clear off his head and turns his eyes into noxious fume producing gas pistons, which screech like robots slamming metal on each others faces

I wish it was law for all boats to have prop guards. Great video my friend

[@peterbarfoot1]

The shark shaking its head was highly unusual to see, much like a voluntary movement rather than involuntary, seems like it's desire to expel debris to clean the gills is a process not uncommon, proving there is conscious cognitive behaviour in sharks.

[@BlindNeil]

Amazing footage as always. The Whites have always been my favorite as well. Keep up the incredible work , and Thanks for sharing

[@countingcoup]

I think more has, or could be been understood about the great white sharks through beach lead drones than all of the footage that has been taken from chum feeding them in dive cages… Would love to see more night thermal camera footage although it’s probably going to limit anything to far under the surface waters.

[@j.d.adventures]

That head shake was insanely cool!

[@GeekRex]

Isn't it time that all fishing gear used by pros and amateurs alike have an identifying feature on them? Nets are particularly harmful to the environment but get used without regard to anything.

[@melissarom3880]

This is a beautiful video, but it saddens me to see the damage humans have done to these beautiful creatures and all marine life. Also to our oceans and waterways. Thank you for caring! I wish more people did.

[@Anna-ky7ix]

It looks to me like when a dog shakes to remove stuff from its coat.how interesting that a great white is doing a behavior like that. I hope you find out more and tell us! So sad to see the beautiful creatures with human “garbage” attached to them and damaging them. Is it possible for them to be helped if tracked and remove it?

[@dorianmclean6755]

Heartbreaking Thank you. They are so beautiful... sharks are stunning souls

[@susanandjim19]

More than the shark not being interested in attacking the rays, the rays also don’t act frightened of the shark. See a deer 🦌 catch sight of a cougar- they are panicked. But the rays do not seem to be scurrying away. Hmmmm.

[@aaronbrown1638]

🤷‍♂️

[@Soccertz1]

The rays didn’t see it 😜

[@kuywasaamazikeen8048]

Actually a deer would not neccesarily instantly become panicked by seeing a cougar either, since it would know just as well that the cougar allowing the deer or other animal to see it in front of them to begin with means that it is not interested in hunting it, as cougars hunt very inconspicuously and from behind, not allowing themselves to be seen by their prey until they are literally on top of it. Ijs

[@kuywasaamazikeen8048]

Other animals often share the same sentiment when they know they aren't being actively hunted. Besides that, there are many recent studies that show it is not uncommon for gw sharks to form social bonds with other species of animal besides their own.

[@climatedeceptionnetwork4122]

Thanks again for sharing your special art.

[@superyamagucci]

One of my mates went tagging great whites in NZ. “Did you see one?” “One?? We had 13 *new* ones before lunch. What are you up to?” “Well I WAS going to go for a swim. Maybe just go to the pub I guess.”

[@johannageisel5390]

"Hey, mates, come here! The long seals are giving out free jewelry!" - sharks to their buddies, probably

[@dropstone-naturalambience338]

Your videos are incredible, sharks are beautiful animals it is absolutely necessary to preserve them and your channel participates strongly. thanks for sharing

[@billsixx]

I've spent thousands of hours surfing and diving from Palos Verdes to San Onofre in all of these waters you shows. It was always in the back of my mind, but now, seeing the massive numbers, I will never go again.

[@Owenslife777]

I enjoy how you tell the truth, saying your percentages wouldnt be accurate, instead of just acting like you know everything, thats also very special fotage with the rays!

[@kelpfish7362]

Great work as always. In fact this is favorite of the series so far. I'm curious why you are calling the Bat Rays "Sea Rays"? Whatever, maybe there are so many that the sharks may well be sated. Hope you can get some feeding action ...maybe at night but how's that gonna work? Seems conventional lights might change their behavior. Red light or infrared maybe?

[@DenWell-SeedsOfChaos]

Beautiful footage, I want to know what she (the first white shark) is thinking about as she glides through the kelp...

[@tThisNThat]

Releasing balloons needs to be outlawed! Beautiful footage, and devastating at the same time. I have never seen a shark do that shaking movement. Very cool.

[@garman1966]

3:00 The sting ray below the one on the surface is the one the shark was after and it can be clearly seen that it has it's tail raised in a threatening gesture with it's barb ready for action.

[@tom7471]

Beautiful creatures, beautiful work!

[@murderycatdoll1380]

What i Love about your Videos, that you Always make People aware bthat this beautiful Animals are hurt by Humans! Not just beautiful to watch but spreading awarness the same time

[@oucatfive6806]

I love to watch your videos, and I thank you for sharing them with everyone. I believe the "unusual" footage you got was the equivalent of a cough or sneeze. That's how I read it anyway.
