Great White Shark Hunting Patterns | When Sharks Attack

[@NatGeo]

Investigators have identified that the majority of the great white attacks on the Western Cape take place during the day. What surprised you most about this video?

[@Nirwch4]

National Geographics negative viewpoint towards sharks

[@anjairis]

@@Nirwch4 Unfortunately that's not surprising anymore to me. Most predators and omnivores gets that viewpoint. Not sure why, some sort of weird profit in it that I haven't figured out yet perhaps.

[@twctang427]

It's not surprising to me, they can hunt any time. People should be carefully when they play outdoor water sports...

[@NymNym-hs9lh]

I’d do it.

[@NymNym-hs9lh]

You use cameras and rovers and the electrical activity they feel anyway. Just like people. They cruise and stalk.

[@in_vino_veritas7938]

Sharks are amazing. Attacks are rare, and I think the real problem is conditioning. Throwing fish guts, etc to attract them, underwater cages, and all the other methods always meant to grab their attention is what causes a slew of problems. Then people wonder why 🙄

[@Spacekid_Productions]

Who else would love to be an explorer who travels the world and photos all the amazing wild life you see also, HAPPY EARLY SHARK WEEK!!!

There's so much to learn about sharks! What's the most interesting fact you learned from this video?

[@andyfriederichsen]

@@NatGeo Nothing we haven't heard about great whites a million times already.

[@dave131]

Sharks do in fact hunt inside the kelp forests during the day looking for seals. Biologist: Let's go inside the kelp forest during the day dressed like a seal.

[@XHALE303]

For a channel that claims to be concerned about nature, they do a lot of fearmongering, i believe sharks live in the sea, unlike humans. How about a video about the 60-100 mill attacks on sharks a year by human to put things in perspective.

[@gnarlynicholasreviews]

Discovery Channel has been doing that forever. Since Shark Week blew up in popularity. It’s mostly a farce now.

[@Nirwch4]

The video ending doesn't help increase the empathy for Great Whites or any other sharks, people need to start LOVING THEM and understanding their importance to our ecosystems. Over 100 million sharks die because of humans EACH YEAR. Do a better job.

[@Fish_Pudding]

Humans are the real predators...Sharks are so important if they were gone the ocean would be disastrous!

[@7yep4336dfgvvh]

@@Fish_Pudding I'm just reading this after watching a video of some guy at the beach getting bitten almost in half by a friendly shark

[@Ticklemonsta]

in reality sharks dont tend to kill humans they are just curious and seeing humans swim confuses them to thinking they are huge fish

[@Fish_Pudding]

My dad hates bat geo because he said they basically endanger sharks. They make shows like this focusing only on the bad part and the attacking parts of sharks, when they SHOULD be talking about how important these creatures are! If they didn’t eat fish, seals, whales, etc, the ocean would overpopulate. Sharks keep the ocean balanced and help clean up all the dead fish. These creatures deserve to be respected, not feared...so stop putting them in danger!! They don’t mean to hurt you! It’s only by mistake! Your not enough food to fuel em!

[@BestOfAnimalss]

Shark are amazing predators!!! Love em ❤️

Marie Moon they are, they’re gonna have to adapt to orcas and eventually the sharks will dominate.

If you don't go to the sea, you won't meet sharks; but you cannot avoid loan-sharks lurking in your neighbourhood, cities, towns. They don't kill but let you remain alive to suffer & to keep them alive. Real animals are within us! (Great Britain, Fri 07 Aug 2020 1336)
