Great White Shark Eats a Fish Near Shore: Cape Cod EP 1

[@BackyardDogPark9862]

Sunfish drunk-bragging to friends: "yeah... (flexes) I get mistaken for a great white shark, happens all the time."

[@pretzel2272]

😂

[@raihothexiv15th37]

Glad to see videos from the Atlantic Ocean coming from you. The Mola Mola looked absolutely massive.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

They're such bizarre fish. I'd love to swim with a big one.

[@travisrygg3317]

I love sunfish. They are a work of art in the open ocean. . .along with sea turtles.

[@mikeoglen6848]

would the Sharks eat them?

[@TheMalibuArtist]

@@comfortablynumb9342 I'm going to release a video of just sunfish eventually. Including me swimming next to one. :-)

[@pretzel2272]

Oh, I'm looking forward to that, I love sunfish 😃👍💙. (Fun fact: they are called "moon fish" in German 🌞🌚🌝)

[@SuperDeadlen]

My favourite youtuber, never disappoints.

[@justthinking-g8e]

Easy listening, such a joy

[@katiem9644]

I could watch this drone footage all day long.

[@marksidorczuk7571]

It's great to see beach authority staff assisting you, they clearly welcome and value your presence.

[@steffir9506]

They need to hire and pay drone shark watchers like you for beaches on both coasts. You are saving lives.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

It's fascinating that they have sharks around with names that stay in the area. And the mola mola was really cool to see. You have the best shark footage on KZbin.

[@user-jo5ml8et1z]

I'm so grateful people are starting to value sharks and the damage, negative PR and misinformation those horrible books and movies (Jaws) did is finally being reversed. There's a special place in Hell for Peter Benchley and the greedy monsters who made those movies. Makes my blood boil even thinking about it.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

@user-jo5ml8et1z yeah I grew up in Florida and I've always been very into fishin. Sharks have always been interesting to me since I was a kid. Jaws and I are about the same age, I remember seeing it as a kid. But it didn't make me hate sharks. I've caught some and eaten a couple but now I rather not hook them at all. Young hammerhead shark was delicious in ceviche when I caught one in Costa Rica with my local buddy. His wife made ceviche that was amazing. I grew up in Sarasota FL. The tiger shark in Jaws was caught by Captain Brian Martel just offshore of Sarasota. I went to highschool with Brian Jr and he became a charter guy too. Last time I saw him his legs were rashed up from riding a whale shark in the Gulf. Then they caught some big cobia that were following the shark like cobia love to do. They follow rays and big sharks and turtles and sunfish a lot. Anyway I love the ocean and fish including the sharks. They're a critical part of the ecosystem. So I'm grateful for people caring about sharks too.

[@pretzel2272]

I think "Jaws" is a brilliant movie: it has suspense, drama, but also tons of humour, great storytelling, a catchy soundtrack and amazing actors. The problem is that so many people didn't know much about sharks in the first place and weren't capable of abstracting real sharks from the movie's "villain". Even scientists didn't shed such a great light on sharks then, if I remember it correctly. This happens to other predators (e.g. wolves, bears, hyenas), too and it's a shame. That is (also!) why I'm so glad that Carlos is doing such an amazing job of showing how sharks really are!

[@2873lonewolf]

This was a very well-done observation and information event. Studying white sharks in California and studying white sharks around the globe, are vastly different data. Understanding the differences in locations and the actions of white sharks will only help.

[@ElizabethR-xz7zy]

I was at the Cape this September- wonder if you were there when we were! I took a flight with the Chatham Stick and Rudder Aero tours during that time. We saw a Great White down by Monomoy island, just idling along. We had them circle closer a few times, couldn’t get a good shot, but were absolutely Thrilled! Such a beautiful creature! Nauset is one of the beaches we visit every time, breathtaking at dawn. I’m so happy you have filmed our lovely sharks & I have donated- thank you!!!

[@KahanuErmeyas-Tulu]

Great video from the Atlantic Ocean Malibu!

[@kikostibas]

Always amazing content! Thank you so much for doing this!!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@awasily]

absolutely love watching your work! thank you for this!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

I absolutely love that you are following along on this journey. Thank you!

[@thisspaceforrent5737]

The most terrifying sight in the water is a large dorsal fin headed your way. The second most terrifying sight is a drone filming something in the water while heading your way.

[@pretzel2272]

😄

[@BLUEHORIZON-g2b]

Amazing footage. Not a chance I'd Ever go into that water !

[@emilianocquijano]

Love it!! Great as always but the effort is noticeable great job man!! Have a great day/night.

[@skyediona1781]

I love your channel, and I'm so excited that you're on "my coast." I grew up on the other Cape in MA a bit north of CC called Cape Ann. I'm sure there are sharks there now, too. Back in the early 90s, seals started coming back. I lived at the old coast guard station that was sold, and parts were converted into houses. We lived in the converted boathouse. We had a rocky private beach in a small cove and a small island right across from it. I would see a few seals, now and then. Over the years, more and more would show up until it was full of seals! It was pretty amazing to grow up there 😊 any how, excited to see your vid, and thank you for what you do 👏🏻🦈🫶🏻

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

Very close to where I grew up just off Nantucket Sound. Thank you.

[@BlaXXXima]

Can't wait for part 2.

[@jenniferaashiem6165]

Great video! Drones are amazing! Thank you!

[@shereesheree7735]

Awesome video!! ❤❤ this channel!! Thank you for sharing your adventures and research with us, Carlos!!👍😁

[@screamingreel8542]

Every time I'm amazed at how interesting these videos of Yours are. Just waiting for the next 👊😎🤙)) Beware murky waters.. In particular conditions, waters are murky on the surface, but not on the bottom: preys can't see the predator lurking beneath but it can perceive them with no need of sight. Anyway GWs as many other shark species, are apex predators and can hunt in any conditions. Beach goers and surfers are more exposed to the risk than scuba divers because they can't detect signs of presence of predators nearby. A buoy activated by radio tags and drones today are very useful devices in order to reduce the risk of encounter before than attack. Good job Men!!!

[@danalala18]

I was just so stressed abt something and needed to just let it go. I scrolled my sub feed and voila. This is perfect for my calm happy place. I love wildlife and do what I can. I will be donating as soon as things get better for me. Be calm and shark on. 🙏🦈🙏

[@Jeff-S-Grimes]

Great logical points about size, natural predators, and environmental conditions such as murky waters = increased chances of a shark mishap. Thanks for providing these videos and lessons from your unique perspective and style- well all are lucky to have your talents published

[@AKbaby89]

Its so crazy to see such a big shark THAT close to shore. Really cool, but also, really sketchy

[@dmtc6913]

Craziest thing is that they just seem to be everywhere all the time. And all I can remember is being told Jaws was a movie and they never were anywhere ever.

[@garycollins4399]

@9:26 you can see the wake turbulence the shark makes swimming from murky into cleaner visibility. Everytime I watch one of these videos I see something I wasn't expecting. Amazing!!!

[@stormyirl1972]

I vacationed in Cape Cod in 2019 and booked a great white hunt/spy trip. Best vacation ever!!!

[@paladinto77]

hey man! thanks for the hard work for this video. I appreciate your work

[@ProudMama-boy]

Great video!

[@Trojan0304]

Lots of seals attract large WS looking for a meal, my SoCal beach has juvenile WS eating rays, fish. Love your vlogs 🦈🦈🦈🦈

[@stevenniklaus5810]

Cool that we have a face to the voice! The sunfish ist just effin' incredible!!!!! As usual, fantastic video!!!

[@karlagordon4555]

Gosh it's just amazing how drones have changed how much we can see 😮 you have an amazing platform and have heightened my "slight" obsession with sharks and their beauty and yet instill in us that "this wouldnt be a beach" you'd swim 😂. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into just capturing a few mins of footage for us.

[@RocketDog73]

Nice watch and another great video 🤙

[@jonathonhunt935]

Amazing footage and really informative commentary. You’re a legend❤

[@Fl-Pride]

Man I love your videos. Keep making as many as possible! 👏🏼👍🏼

[@robynnuzzolo153]

So happy you are filming on the Cape…my old stomping grounds and after Jaws never swam there. Thanks so much

[@RIyer]

Your videos are so informative and interesting. Absolutely see Great Whites in a new angle. Thank you

[@matheusfiorelli8829]

2:12 fun fact, in Brazil we call them "Peixe-Lua", that translates to "Moonfish" :V

[@SRK5227]

Great video. Steve Kopits

[@StevreBrill]

I think your video was awesome great job great work great production

[@ChristopherComer-o3p]

So cool! Nice to see you're covering our guys!

[@ClosetLady]

Very interesting footage Carlos. I love seeing the behavior differences between regions with the white sharks.

[@Ray-jb7er]

I love your work. It’s peaceful and amazing. Wish I could film like this when I retire.

[@BWhite-tb7ir]

Please keep making videos at the Cape! So glad you have teamed up with the AWSC!

[@cehamecki7106]

Vielen Dank für dieses schöne Video und die Übersetzung. Danke Carlos 😘

[@taylormarciano7246]

From a fellow Southern Californian who frequents Malibu, I love your videos!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Awesome! I have a lot of fun filming in Cape Cod and Malibu.

[@FlyTyer1948]

Interesting video. I used to flyfish Nauset & Monomoy until the seals started showing up in large numbers. They would form up in a wide semicircle around me just outside of where I was casting. Finding a fish near that many seals was impossible, so I found other places.

[@ellierose6]

So cool. Love your site. Thank you for your measured observations. Everyone here's a shark expert now, ha.

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Thanks for watching. In case you missed my last video. Here is an incredible sequence of white sharks and dolphins engaging in curious behavior. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXnbZaKFfJKHrbcsi=ChaIzIP0-1eJsIyj

[@bannedwagoner69]

I’ve seen two Mola mola and a gw out there by boat and even with the shallow green water it’s hard to see anything below the surface further than ten feet out. You need to be up high to see much and so I can’t tell u how thrilled I was to see this pop up on my feed! Two eps isn’t enough can’t wait for ep 2!

[@sunshinesideoflife7710]

A few yrs ago, I saw AWS tagging a great white right off Nauset Beach. It was spectacular 🙌 Really cool once again to see the footage of yours from above. The Northern, Upper Cape has such murky water and sooooo many seals. Race Point Beach I have seen a White successfully predate on a seal in less then 5 feet of water close to shore. Nothing like the Cape and nothing like your footage!

[@goochma]

What beautiful drone footage. I live in nearby Rhode Island, and our seal population has been increasing over the past fifteen years or so. I wouldn't doubt we are seeing some great whites passing through.

[@allenf.5907]

Fatality was up at Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet. There was also a serious attack up in Truro at Longnook Beach a few weeks prior. The seals and sharks are everywhere. Keep up the good work. I know the area where you were. It is south of Nauset where the offroad trails are. Your shark did move north toward the public beach. September is a GREAT time up there.

[@mizzbee1477]

I so love these.

[@nancymercado9498]

Great views and information! 👏👏👏

[@wawywawo]

I’ve lived near here my whole life and have been to these outer cape beaches many times they are a rare beauty

[@pretzel2272]

Great video, thanks for sharing! ❤

[@jan-erikjones9376]

Love your content!

[@Thitithen_of_Wome]

The sunfish is such a strange creature.

[@beelady8101]

Love your work! ❤❤❤

[@margiewalker1808]

Love your channel.

[@audreysenghas4138]

I spent summers at the tip of Cape Cod in the 1970's. There weren't many seals back then. You never heard about sharks in New England. Now they are showing up in Maine.

[@LynnMile22]

Amazing footage. I've been in the water along there. Yikes!

[@codymullikin1522]

I love your videos!!!

[@bmf00]

ive been looking forward to this video. im from the area.

[@CA-lf7jt]

I miss New England , I grew up in CT and Mass. wish I were there now at this time of all of the shark programs going on!! I’ve followed the app by Dr Skomal since it came out, read his book, and watched your interview w him.. You’re living the dream !!

[@loistallini3609]

❤beautiful footage of cape cod lovely to study juvenile gr8 white🦈 especially eating his fish lunch !!! Australia have the same kinda alerts better to stick to swim pool for now😊😊😊😊

[@JuliaRuggiero-h7h]

Love this one! Thanks!

[@aaronfarris8159]

Love your work 👌🏼❤️

[@forgottenhistory2562]

awesome footage, thanks!

[@sharks3653]

More beautiful shark footage Carlos. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 The sharks are not the problem, the people are. So do you think you see more white sharks in California than Cape cod?

[@czarina7786]

We have tons of predation ! It’s very busy from Chatham to Ptown ! ❤sharks

[@thunderhead1969]

Went up to the Cape all the time as a kid and would swim out to far sand bars. Scary to think what could have been nearby.

[@billc6919]

We were on a boat in Maine two years ago and saw a sunfish up close. Really cool in person. The next day there was an unverified report on the shark app of a shark sighting. I’d bet it was the same fin and mistaken identity. Would love to see you do one of these videos on the sharks that do migrate up the coast to Maine too.

[@midorihafu]

Very interesting content, thanks!

[@andm6847]

what date was that? I might have been there..... also saw a sunfish but that is not that rare around here. .

[@stephenskierski5633]

Would love to see more content outside of California, I know they are also off Florida.

[@Uchihagaara9]

It’s encouraging to know they take Shark safety seriously. Though not mindless killers, we are in their world playing by their rules. ❤

[@blipco5]

I swim mostly at Herring Cove Beach. Subscribed 👍

[@jmalexander131]

What are your thoughts about the 19+ ft. pregnant GWS that was killed on a drum line off Queensland NSW? She was carrying 4 pups.

[@sethlogee]

So funny I grew up in CT going to Cap Cod every summer never seen a seal 🦭 or shark 🦈. Never saw a wild seal till I went to west coast 😂

[@simonmacleod6212]

I recently saw an impressive clip from someone using an underwater drone. Have you considered combining that with your overhead shots? You might need to grow 4 arms though...

[@benmowry4164]

Went there in October in the fall but didn’t see anything with my DJI mini 4 hope to see one during summer

[@stevepitts7998]

The feeding sequence at 5:05 looks like a dead or dying bluefish, which are very common along the Cape. Perhaps a casualty of an angler's released fish or prior seal attack that was injured but escaped. If that's the case then the film shows the GW scavenging, which may explain its behaviour of testing floating mats of seaweed / sea grass which can also harbour small clusters of fish.

[@mizzbee1477]

Need part 2 !

[@PhilipLongee-vw8jf]

They name a resident white shark “Bruce”, the name Spielberg named the mechanical shark (after his lawyer, figures) from his movie Jaws filmed nearby at Martha’s Vineyard.

[@milomilo2939]

Do you need a special license to use a drone on the national seashore? I’d love to fly my mini2 there?

[@derekjet7715]

I live close to Nauset beach and I walk my dog there a few times a week, about a week to ten days ago there was a dolphin washed up with a large piece missing from the center of it. A shark clearly got ahold of it. I have also seen seals at times with the same fate. This time of year you see surfers out on the water, which seems like an unnecessary risk. The waves are quite weak so I don't understand the point. I am surprised that we don't hear about an attack.

[@stevethegreeeenhand]

Yay my home ! I’m in onset aon mainland side of the canal along cape cod

[@spaceburger80]

That’s not a mola mola, that’s a baby wheee-uhl, Jay! 🤦‍♂️

[@dirkfromhein]

Crazy thing is I used to swim in those waters all the time as a kid with never a worry... but that was in the 70's

[@nikkilovesrocks]

That last shark looks huge.

[@cptnbinky]

Hundreds, probably thousands of people get killed or injured while driving to the beach each year versus about seventy killed or injured by sharks. But the first one is a lot harder to make a movie about.

[@aaronfarris8159]

Those 70 are a lot more terrifying 😳🤷🏼‍♂️

[@redbirddata5926]

That was sick

[@colleensmith3374]

Awesome thanks

[@Sanniz]

Always fascinating and can also see how much help and information they can get from persons like you Carlos. I wouldn't swim during those circumstances either. That's one thing for sure. The Mola Mola is fascinating too. Thanks for another great video and looking forward to part 2. 🦈🤍🦈

[@Iris_Germany]

The Mola Mola ❤

[@johnmorganjr769]

Their mood reminds me of a feline, either its 'max chill 💯' or pure annihilation. No gray areas. 🐈🐟

[@jonathanschadenfreude9603]

I used to fish gorilla rock in orleans for stripers......seeing the whites there now truly does bring the movie jaws to life now 40 years later!

[@cindyj5522]

I think the numbers are related to water temperatures, visibility and the availability of natural prey. The Atlantic and Pacific are not the same at all.

[@stub1256]

Holy shit man you dont know how blessed you are with what you do!! good luck to you man. I live in the middle of one of the smallest islands in the world, which makes any life by the sea impossible now. well i made my choices my bad and my good too. but what you do is so intriguing to me. thank you for all you do. I so wish I could do the same x thank you for all you do and keep on being blessed you are doing good work x 👍

[@bkjeong4302]

It should be better known that the "Polaris breach" is NOT normal GWS hunting behavior as often assumed, but a learned behavior and that they're also able to hunt in different ways, including shallow-water tail chases like shown here.
