I grew up in Hawaii and years ago I got to see a large humpback up close while we were in a 22 ft boat in between Oahu and Molokai. It poked its massive head out of the water and turned slightly to it's side so it could look at us up close with one of its giant eyeballs. It was obviously very intelligent and curious but surprisingly not afraid. I had seen whales before but never this close. After it had examined us enough it dipped down under the water and few seconds later it breached almost its whole body out of the water and landed close to us but was careful not to hit us (definitely showing off!) and swam away. I don't know how anyone could even think about killing such a majestic and beautiful creature.

Can you imagined the Aliens killing you and saying it's in the name of research

[@JOlivier2011]

even worse, there is no research, they just want to eat you.

Now, I know this isn't difficult for people to design wetsuits that deter sharks .. I have seen the designs over 20 years ago ..black and white zig stripes ...I'm pretty sure with digital prints we can make a surfer look virtually invisible to a shark.

[@VashStarwind]

They see and hear movement so thats not possible lol

[@whitneyhoward8504]

That little white shark was smaller than I expected. It looks cute at that size.

[@frankviterise7333]

Whales and elephants are some of the most intelligent and amazing creatures on our planet we need to stop slaughtering them we need to learn more about them and maybe humans become a better species they seem to be doing fine if we leave them alone!

[@manatee_flips6811]

I’d like to spot tag a few of these folks, so I can learn how a scientists moves. Remember, it doesn’t hurt, like a ear piercing.

[@LauraCroftt]

That part really annoyed me, so cruel

[@xlnuniex]

That drill going through the fin is a bit too much for me. How would they even know how painful it is.

[@DeniseCoelhoEnglishForLife]

it is revolting

[@adisonmiller8552]

The drilling is pretty insane

[@philipking8497]

Outstanding.

[@micheledimond]

I've had a fear of great whites since Jaws came out when I was a kid. Before that, I had no fear free diving and snorkeling, body surfing ... after Jaws, I was checking and looking for them nearby a lot more often...

[@goldenlass9488]

Same here! Scarred for life 🤣

[@happytrailsgaming]

Those fuels/metals they’re collecting are amazing!!

The whale ship wars wooow is like a real life movie 🎥 🌎😮

[@damattice23]

I agree that a person’s life may be worth more than a shark or seal’s life. But the problem is, they live in the ocean, we can’t ask them to move. We, however, do not live in the ocean and yet we are killing the ocean. How is it that we have the right to do this? We also depend on the health of the ocean. We humans need to take responsibility for our actions and the risks we take. We do not have the right to live in a self centered oblivious fashion and expect every other species to just get out of the way. Hubris! Selfish!

[@LONEWOLF-rq5tl]

I understand what you're saying but at the same time GOD gave us dominion over all creatures and of all the Earth and ever since sin entered the world there's been nothing but death and violence so we can't really coexist with animals like we were meant to. I guess we just have to do the best we can really.

[@SubwoofersRAMenace-vq6jp]

Why is human life worth anymore than an animals? To each being it's own life is most precious and many animals have their families and significant others. Animals are no less intelligent and aware, cognizant in their own lives than humans.

[@poop464]

I'm not gonna take responsibility for my actions though

[@lorencelaflair4306]

@@LONEWOLF-rq5tl lol gtfoh and go preach this to your church

[@choiceblade]

This just made made me wonder. What if somehow human violence (dominion) had permitted earth to nurture two powerful, sentient and advanced species which share the dominance over nature we now enjoy/experience? And if that happened, what if WE were the subs? Would we have such a proprietary attitude towards nature expressed in our behavior, and founded in our religious texts, or would we be better stewards than we are today?

I want to say last summer there was an amazing article in the New York times about just this thing of Cape cod and you could actually listen to it I'm pretty sure there's an app for that

[@larrylaird-so5oy]

Very good video and we trespass on their domain and then blame them for attacking humans which rarely happens because seals are a fat rich prey that sustains them for a long time but we on the other hand are very lean and probably just juveniles are to blame for most white shark attacks on humans and most of the time they take a bite and turn loose but their teeth are so razor sharp people die of blood loss.

[@randibgood]

I'm sure a wetsuit is not very tasty either! Nor polyester or nylon or whatever type of clothing a human is wearing.

[@williebeamish5879]

And let's talk Deep Sea Mining, shall we?

[@PettyFoodDeliveryDriver]

Wow. Early today about 8hrs ago. I was reading about 1 of Osearch sharks. It traveled from nova scotia to now in the Carolinas. Sharks are amazing
