Shark Queens: Rulers of the Ocean SPECIAL (Full Episode) | Shark Queens

In the animal kingdom, males are often presumed to be the most dominant, but in the ocean, does this presumption hold water? Scientists search for answers to understand if the biggest and baddest sharks of them all are female. From the great white sharks of South Africa to the tiger sharks in the Maldives, scientist teams seek to uncover the ultimate rulers of the waves.

Treating sharks like criminals is wild like hey we got a warrant you fit the description the dolphins told us were to find you

[@TyrWu1f]

True that. And I don't like them mentioning reinforcing negative behavior to prevent sharks from potentionally becoming attackers. Seems like that's all ppl need to grab their torches and pitchforks and lead a hunt against sharks... Oh wait, we already do that. Side note, would be a good doc to flip it to profiling humans that torture, mutuilate and kill sharks.

[@ToxPhy]

Shark “infested” waters? Um…it’s called the ocean. They live there 😂

[@eyesacthehoodrat]

@@TyrWu1fyou do know that you can’t train sharks?

[@marshapieroni6677]

I don't think they are doing that.

[@marshapieroni6677]

​@@ToxPhybut you know what they are saying. Some areas have many more sharks, right?

I agree

Me and my little brother (2) love these shark videos :)

[@AmandaLee-ew7lg]

Sharks are an important part of the marine ecosystem. We need to learn to coexist with them.

[@windelk.9500]

You can do it without being too rough and establishing some compliance norms

[@karlheinz4265]

Those people are right about sharks not attacking humans when I was swimming in the Med sea I encountered a 9 footer blue shark and had no problems at all with it. So it's true that only fewer sharks attack humans.

[@soupapede]

I love how a huge portion of this video is just shark eugenics. lol

[@user-kp3xn7mo6h]

As much as I love learning about these awe inspiring animals, I'm sad how many "informational" documentaries use fear tactics with music and cuts to ads to make it seem like a shark is going to do wrong.

[@loyaldogpublishingllc915]

The poor guy attacked in egypt was attacked by a 10 foot tiger shark who was pregnant and had no food in the digestive system. Sign of starvation...

[@v4l3nt1n30]

i wonder if overfishing wasn't such a big thing, would a lot of these attacks never have happened

[@melissaisin68]

That's sad!

[@brandong42091]

yea if they are in need of food anythings on the menu

[@angelitabecerra]

We don't have a problem with even a few individuals. Y'all forget we're invading *their* territory.

[@hamadshafqat5364]

This video has helped me so much. I would love to be a shark scientist and go expolore so much land. Thank you guys for this video!😊

[@Fjk2134]

That would be amazing. There's 95 percent of the ocean that hasn't been discovered yet, so imagine different sharks they still haven't discovered yet and you end up discovering some of these creatures.

[@rocioaguilera3555]

Amazing animals and excellent video. Thanks

[@Alicia-BG]

I'm really not convinced by the oldest "researcher". He reaches conclusions with too little information. How will he study the genetics of the sharks as it relates to their behavior and hierarchy with just 2 samples? Besides, that method of collecting the DNA (saliva) is questionable given the fact that it's collected underwater, sharks are not like humans that secrete a lot of saliva, and he didn't take steps to store the samples quickly to prevent loss. I think he's a bit of a show unlike the younger one that spends time observing and gathering specific information on individual sharks.

[@user-cr9yd6lj3v]

wait, researcher? Is he not a really bad actor then?

[@Alicia-BG]

@@user-cr9yd6lj3v that's why I used quotations. Lol

[@DrgnLdyLizzie2001]

There was probably more than two, they only showed the two "best" samples. I agree that they probably could have collected better samples, like skin or maybe even blood, but then again, given the size and type of the sharks they were working with, it might have been better that they did what they did.

[@zackzittel7683]

Idk much about collecting DNA but I know they are able to identify the type of shark in shark attacks by taking samples from the surfboard/equipment and even the wound.

[@marshapieroni6677]

They do a lot more than what you're watching. It's very interesting

[@wickedcha4202]

Us as humans are not that big. Some seals are bigger then us. I saw in one document that it is our urine that make the sharks aware of us. Along with the splashing and our heart rate sending off the electronic pulse that the sharks are aroused to inspect. With us on boards yes we do look like their food. If you decide to get in the ocean treat it with respect and acknowledge the animals in the water that could harm you.

[@dianamungai6413]

Thankyou for letting is access such awesome stuff online for free❤❤❤

[@CeeHimself]

Finally, the first smart guy who doesn't believe in that weak "Mistaken Identity" allegations! This footage brings so much light into most shark attacks! Watch and learn!

[@eyesacthehoodrat]

They’re not as dangerous as you’d think

[@DrgnLdyLizzie2001]

I have a LOT of respect for sharks. I think they're gorgeous, fascinating and just awesome, but I'm also more than a little scared of them, so I do us all a favor and stay out of the water with them. My sister went scuba diving off South Africa to see Great Whites, but me? I would have stayed on the boat . . . or shore.

[@Jrh-rp7np]

The science behind this is great and all that.. But,, now these sharks are associating divers with food,, Like they know the divers come in there will be food.. what happens when random divers out there with no food encounter a hungry shark,, will they get pushy to see if they have any???

[@hermit6044]

Wow!

[@seanaudette8389]

I've always hated how they anger the shark by pulling the food away from there.

[@leminjapan]

They have to get it within reach of the boat to tag it. Sharks don't get angry, lol.

[@georgecarberry9222]

This is a great documentary but there is no way at all to determine which shark will attack a human. In general size, gender & species is the best way to guestimate which shark will or might attack ppl. Even with the type of research being done in this documentary, there is just no way to tell whether any shark will or will not be likely to attack a human. There are far too many variables to consider.

No, it’s actually the opposite. Google is your friend.

[@pumpkinpuna4087]

When a female shark is pregnant the pups will literally attack each other inside mommy. They are lethal before birth as well. When the pups are born their instinct is to swim as fast and as far as they can because the mother will eat them if she catches them. 😮

Seals see a bunch of humans roll up to their island and start chumming the Water for sharks. . Sure they loved that. I don't understand why we need to interfere so much with animals. Maybe it helps but I don't see how. I love the idea of conservation and all that but that's not what most of this is. Studying great whites for thirty years? For what? That didn't throw anything off for those sharks? I Love the footage and shark week rocks but I think most people and "scientist" cross all sorts of lines. In the name of science? Yeah right.
