[@Lord_RFAS]

@@sauce33 And all it took was a drone and something others had already done. Amazing!

[@VegasElement]

That close? No way...the hundreds of times I've been in the Southern California ocean...My goodness..

[@jarrodm9010]

It never hurts to bring a diver's knife anytime you go into the ocean... not that you probably wouldn't still be screwed but at least you can put up a fight

[@energyvampire1672]

You'll have 1 chance and that's the eyes or gills, if you even get the chance.

[@tannstang]

[@Metal0sopher]

By far the most dangerous.

The answer is simple! A curious shark will attack most of the time these sharks were not it’s a game of chance Why do grizzly bears attack ? Same thing

[@dzonstokton3793]

Be a good guest you says. Tell that to russian guy. Sharks are killing machine, i cant undestund ppl who swim in ocean. Its like dance with a devil

[@rollinia7770]

No Shark Fin Soup than peope would lost their arms and legs to shark and even their lives and half their livelihoods gone. Ladies stay aways from the ocean as your period can lure shark 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈.

[@Caractacus969]

Just wait a few more years. These juveniles will become adults with adult appetites and tastes. Will everyone get chomped? No, but some will. And we are not guests or temporary visitors as human beings. We have every right to be in the ocean and every right to defend ourselves. All this feel good propaganda toward these eating machines is really too much.

[@user-xsn5ozskwg]

Adult sharks don't pursue humans any more than juveniles, in fact they're less likely to thanks to experience. There's a reason why shark attacks almost never result in the person actually being eaten; we're not their ideal food by a long-shot.

[@Caractacus969]

@@user-xsn5ozskwg What do you think, they carry around a chart or something saying do not eat humans? They could care less if they're hungry and you happen to be in strike range. They do kill people btw.

[@Lord_RFAS]

@@user-xsn5ozskwg Same as with Orcas. Strange. So maybe we don't taste like chicken after all... 🤣

[@rh380]

Need drone dolfins ..

[@javairflorez7889]

[@energyvampire1672]
