Sharks are basically the white blood cells of the ocean. They are essential to the ecosystem, and we kill tons every year for absolutely no reason. Saving them is so important! I appreciate these people so much!

[@firing_reyes]

I totally agree!! We need the lawmakers to protect them. I, also, appreciate these people who saved them.

@Allison Hunter that’s incredible!! I’d love to see those videos. Majority of humans really underestimate the intelligence and compassion that most animals do possess and it’s sad that more and more children are being brought up to harbor cruel feelings for wild animals instead of how you and I feel. Our world surviving is dependent upon these animals being a part of our lives and it’s a delicate balance between what we harvest for food and what we leave for the survival of our planet!

I worked in animal care in a large nationally known museum before COVID We had an exhibit with juvenile sharks. As I was feeding them one day one became very excited and ended up pushing the lid off the tank and jumped out onto the ground. I was alone and had to grab him and get him back into the tank. I can tell you from first hand experience, even “small” sharks are VERY strong. I think the adrenaline really helped me control the shark enough to get him back into his tank. I’ll never forget it.

actually, they probably weren't babies...they were probably a type of shark called a *Hound Shark* which is a smaller species of shark...40lbs and as short as these are is typical. They cover a wide area..from off the Long Island shoreline to California...so Namibia would be another area they hang out in...

People telling other people 'nurse sharks can't bite" is why a lot of people go to the hospital for trying to ride nurse sharks where I live

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

xD

[@aragon5869]

well deserved

[@gafls3151]

that's true. their teeth aren't long so the wounds *tend* not to be severe but a lot of damage can be done. they primarily bite defensively when they feel harassed so yeah nurse shark riding is asking for trouble.

[@dreammaker9642]

One this side unless you give it a finger to bite it won’t get a grip. Most accidents with nurse sharks are from idiots who try feed them and forget that the sharks simply does not care to make the difference between your fingers and snacks as much as you should….

@Allison Hunter It's not like that, they just rescue seals and the like who've been entangled in human materials. Unfortunately, especially because there's often hooks involved, you do get blood and injuries

[@Primalxbeast]

@Allison Hunter The lines the seals get tangled in often end up cutting into their flesh so it can cause some serious injuries. You should definitely get your SCUBA certification if you can afford to. SCUBA diving is amazing. I live in Florida so I've been able to do a lot of reef dives, plus a few in the Bahamas and Hawaii.

I definitely commend this man's efforts and appreciate him saving these sharks lives but also very surprised he didn't even bring a wet towel to hold them with. Probably would have been way less chasing and thrashing around but looks like they finally did it. Good effort

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Rebekah Davis I was looking for the narrator, and his helpers, to perhaps net the young sharks, them drop them into a tub of water. Not sure if that system would be any less stressful for the sharks. (And I guess a big tub of water could be too heavy to carry 150m to open sea.) This guy, Naude, from Ocean Conservation Namibia, did say here he's performed this bare-hand rescue of stranded young sharks before.

[@dreammaker9642]

You underestimate just how strong and slippery small sharks can be 😂 that wet towel won’t last long. Would be indeed most effective to net them and release them off but don’t always have a small net on hand and if the shark starts thrashing like it did and swirls around trying to escape then good luck untangling it. I’d say some gloves with good grip would be most affective so to not hurt your hands and have a good grip. These ones can’t really bite but honestly smaller sharks will have a much easier time getting a bite out of you when handling then. Hence why you shouldn’t lmao but someone has to do it

he said "can't bite". I'm pretty sure they're nurse sharks, they have very small mouths pointed downwards for bottom feeding kinda like a sturgeon or stingray.

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

They can definitely bite

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

INVISIGOTH I looked it up, apparently nurse sharks are the fourth most common type of shark to bite humans because of the common misconception that they are harmless. they have relatively small mouths with relatively small teeth, but they're still typical sharp shark teeth, and I'm pretty sure they feed on hard-shelled prey like mussels, clams and crabs, and have strong jaws to do that. I don't know how wide they can open their mouths, they might have some trouble getting some thicker human body parts in there, but I think you have a pretty good chance of losing whatever they do get in there if they really bite as hard as they can. so the sharks in the video could probably amputate half a hand or some toes.

[@xINVISIGOTHx]
