Giant Great White Sharks Appear in Southern California: Plus Fishermen Try to Take Down my Drone

[@jan-erikjones9376]

Your stream is better than Shark Week, by FAR!

[@nickmitsialis]

There is SO MUCH shark week could do in regards to sharks, in a strictly scientific sense, but so much of the coverage is 'who cares?' At least, they've reduced the presence of the more annoying regulars (Casagrande, Dickie Chivell, or however you spell his name; the NZ dude with the dreads===I swear if I hear them say "THIS IS INSANE" one more time...) but they've been replaced with more diverse but even less informative castmates.

I agree. Get this guy on Shark Week ASAP!

[@jkoblivion4175]

it is.

[@thrand6760]

Holy shit, Malibu Artist may genuinely be the first person to discover a GW shark birthing ground... i was watching you when you just started these cool little shark drone videos, and within such a small period of time, you have revolutionised what we know of GW sharks! Sir, many thanks, and much love from the UK!

[@terrell07981]

I Don't understand how he doesn't have more subs

[@a1uffy]

Tbf, If I was fishing and I heard some annoying buzzing drone circling me while off coast, for a hot minute, I'd try to catch it. The lithium battery excuse polluting the water is disingenuous af. Amazing footage but come on man... be honest

[@bpdlr]

@@a1uffy "Lithium-ion batteries contain metals such as cobalt, nickel, and manganese, which are toxic and can contaminate water supplies and ecosystems if they leach out of landfills" (Wikipedia)

[@hackedoff736]

… which is as much a reason for not flying them over delicate ecosystems in the first place, they can malfunction or run out of juice. I love these videos and the work that MA does and I’m glad he does, just saying a bit of perspective is needed sometimes. The fisherman by the looks of it misinterpreted the situation as presented here so I’d give him a bit of a break.

Thanks for all your hard work mate, sitting here at my computer in England with a glass of wine, and enjoying your work. Cheers dude

[@erik7747]

Great footage of both a pregnant white shark and a newborn! I have personally witnessed both with my own eyes while on a surfboard. The pregnant female swam towards me and was easily 15 ft probably more like 18f ft and was wider than a Volkswagon Bus! I saw the babies 3 days later and they were chasing our leashes as we were surfing! I will admit seeing the baby whites chase my friends leash as he surfed a wave was probably the coolest thing I have seen surfing in my 43 years of surfing. Seeing the 18 ft pregnant Great White made me catch a wave to shore and promise my wife I would never surf there by myself again!

[@asdfbeau]

which beach? We've known forever that they come here to give birth, but we've never known exactly where

[@erik7747]

@asdfbeau Trail 1 San Onofre. I also have pictures of a juvenile white shark that was caught where I was surfing. 2 assholes chummed the water I was surfing at Trail 1 and landed a juvenile on the beach. I literally surfed under his line when he had the shark on the line. They came back and I let the air out of there tires and left them a note. Saying if you come back next time will be all 4 tires slashed. They never came back.

It's exciting that you've been able to get those high-definition photos of these large white sharks, and what they might mean for future research. I'll be eager to see what's discovered through this. Another great video, Carlos! Thank you as always.

[@TimJohniLL]

Thanks so much! You never know what you will see when you observe these creatures! It's always an adventure!

[@DaveHidingood]

Oh ya they’re gonna be using this guys blurry photos to do science with when they’ve got plenty of close up in person in the water photos to work with. Come on kiddo this is a dude with a drone nothing more. It’s like me seeing him fly over my house and saying damn the roofers are gonna make my roof perfect with that fly over.

[@TheMalibuArtist]

@@DaveHidingood I've been closeup in the water with these sharks. Something you can actually see in this video as well if you paid attention. The aerial aspect is pure natural observation that is much more natural than being in the water. I do each often but can attest true natural behavior is observed best without a human in the water. I was actually the first author on one of the most widely distributed scientific research papers of 2024. The footage and photos were not blurry.

Such great footage Carlos! Typical fishermen not giving a shit about anything. It's so great that you're sharing this amazing footage with the world and also keeping their locations secret

[@SageRosemaryTime]

Carlos I've subscribed and watched you for a long time now and it AMAZES me that you keep getting better I didn't think you needed to improve in the first place and yet you do . This was worthy of a BBC documentary and still you sound humble and respectful as always.

[@MarkoPareigis]

Your footage always leaves me in awe... Thanks for publishing this about these wonderful and fascinating creatures. Oh, I love your narrative voice, it reminds me of some science television shows from BBC or Terra X from when i was a kid 🙂

[@michelleflippin1808]

Carlos, again you leave me breathless!! Every time I see the newborn, I get so excited my heart starts racing!! It is truly awesome inspiring footage. I have followed you for a long time, and the way you watch the sharks is so wonderful to me. It's new things that we get to see them doing, because always before the footage had to be taken while disturbing the sharks. I love that you try to make sure they don't see even the shadow of your drone. You watch them, and leave them completely without any interaction. That is so unique in the study of these magical animals. I have been fascinated by whites since I was little. (Which was many years ago now!) Thank you for your innovation and patience while filming. And I can't wait to see this year's newborns!! If we are very lucky!!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

I can't thank you enough for watching my videos. And your comment is so appreciated!

[@pretzel2272]

Genau so geht es mir auch! 😊

[@rabadabadoo491]

Absolutely stunning footage of these awesome creatures 👏 Good luck

[@nancydenmark1614]

These sharks seem to have a remarkable ability to heal from the wounds that they get. Especially that huge female you were able to film from the cage. What violent mating they must endure. As sad as it is that they get propeller strikes causing the wounds to their fins and upper body, it’ll be good to be able to record them for future reference. I’m so sorry that the fisherman was rude enough to try to destroy the drone. That’s so awful. Great video as always.

[@darklight6013]

I think that are just "love bites" from her mates, propellers do much deep and horrible wounds

[@pyrovania]

Orcas eat white sharks, so some scars might be from orcas.

[@larrybremer4930]

In fairness the only way a male can hang on is with its mouth. They need some purchase to do the deed if the female shark is, shal I say, uncooperative. Many species bite the pectoral fins, in particular the benthic species like Nurse and carpet sharks but the pelagic sharks seem to bite at the flanks near the gills.

[@creightonfreeman8059]

I love what you are doing. I grew up watching "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" and what you do reminds me of his documentaries. Though your content is narrower in subject matter and mostly filmed from above rather than below the water, the tone and I think mission is the same.

I am pretty sure those are mama sharks. Also floating above a kelp forest in reasonably shallow water makes sense... the babies can take cover when born.
