Only the sharks know that they're trying to rescue the caged human aggressively!

[@barelyabear7956]

Lol

[@layla_isher]

Aww that changes my mindset LOL

[@Yorking323]

Bro please stop lmao

[@empizzle8]

Why is that gap in the bars so large??? It's the exact size of the sharks they're trying to keep out

[@delstanley1349]

It's as if they screened which sharks were allowed in to act in this scene. Smaller but just as deadly sharks would not be allowed in this scene because they could have gotten in. A narrower much safer-take-no-chance-cage-build would mean less drama. So the scene director, after screening the shark sizes made the cage larger, enhanced the bait scent and yelled to the sharks "Action." That's KZbin I guess! I bet those sharks that got jammed after getting so far into the cage yelled "this is uh...reel click bait." :>)

[@WhatSayCrochet]

It's to fit the camera. But ya it's so dumb to compromise their's and the shark's safety just to get a good video.

[@sushanalone]

Dear NGC, Unnecessary sound effects and jump cuts with the narrator repeating the same bloody line 3 different ways is outdated. Yours Faithfully, Everyone.

[@terryford8280]

HERE HERE!!!

[@kennarajora6532]

I didn't even like it back when it wasn't outdated.

[@ankitarath1423]

Thank you

[@thememeestfilmbuff]

Well remember when your parents told you to not reach your hand into the cages at the zoo? *Well Sharks never learned that lesson.*

[@terryford8280]

@Tin Tinlol 😝😝

[@AaronShenghao]

*Humans in cage* Sharks: Oh my fins, that human is trapped! If I don’t do something dolphins will poke me to death!

[@asiachannels]

Why there is a wide space in the middle of the cage? Just like a welcoming door for the shark 😅

[@The_Kennel_Guy]

Its for the diver to breath properly 😂😂

[@naiyayika]

@@The_Kennel_Guy under the water?

[@The_Kennel_Guy]

@@naiyayika lol its a joke bro😂

[@XpVersusVista]

@@The_Kennel_Guy yeah, a bad one

[@The_Kennel_Guy]

@@XpVersusVista can't help it if you didn't get sweetcakes

[@cob571]

I have a feeling that the jaws theme music with its low frequencies would have a similar effect

[@WhatSayCrochet]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I would be saying to myself BOTH "Oh nice move" AND "Are you F*n serious?".

[@thekrrib]

I can't believe that they use bait boxes to attract the sharks. I always thought the cage was only to protect the human (psychologically anyway) in an area where the sharks naturally swim. Glad that I know this now, coz I wanted to swim with sharks and was considering cage diving. This is wrong.

[@siennamei3843]

100%

[@ChrisN06999]

"This highlighted bait box is full of chum." Plankton is overworking

[@AzlianaLyana]

Seems like a good approach to test thing out👍Thank for this NG.

[@lknanml]

WOW.. Boy did this segment get the enhanced drama treatment. Should have been why sharks run into cage divers rather than attack.

[@camerafoxinternational7330]

Sharks,so powerful animals!really a great documentary 👏

[@TheOgrande]

I know now sharks favorite music is heavy metal.

[@ashnas5454]

Sharks are like vampires as soon as they smell blood , they go Nutts

[@savannahtafireyi7022]

Not really actually there’s a video when they pour different bloods the sharks weren’t even attracted to most of the bloods

[@Joy_Boymedia876]

In just 1 dive/experiment they determined this..? Crazy, this is ludicrous..

[@TheGeographyBible]

As scary as this is, I'd love to do this one day!

[@Love-jf7rs]

Maybe with a submarine and prayers ;)

[@mikep11218]

Luckily for you, every Darwin Award is posthumous.

[@WhatSayCrochet]

How would you if you were in that position and the guy managing the speakers started playing the Jaws theme song? It's probably in the sweet spot of he right sound range?

[@irliam5691]

would be interesting to see how they react to seal or other prays heart beat frequencies or call sounds

[@Slurpified]

I dont think ive seen anything as terrifying as a charging shark. That was crazy. Was ruthless like a bullet.

[@seanaswan7520]

In Russia at the moment the area of forests on fire is 3.5 million hectares😱😱😱😱😱

[@diaz_Epam100mg]

And it's happening in siberia. One of the coldest regions on earth .

[@ManaBDew]

Interesting 🧐💭🎶

[@ivanahmady6064]

I’m Going to have nightmares again

[@StoriesbyIrish]

Well, aside from the obvious baiting, they are also electrically sensitive. Annnnnd.... you're in cages using cameras, moving around, making sounds, etc. Makes sense to me that, when they can't see the bait, they'd go after the cages.

[@siennamei3843]

Right? Some mystery

[@andyshinnnn]

Ah, NatGeo, the PREMIER channel for scientific research using one anecdotal study to reach a conclusion

[@lunamoona1645]

I feel bad for them, imagine they are naturally following the bait and end up smashing their faces into the cage 😔

[@neilurwin9670]

Another Brilliant Well Put Together Video All The Best.

[@17Juliaa]

and what's the bait in 4:44 for ¿?

[@alparslankorkmaz2964]

Nice video

[@KrelianLoke]

Why can't they make cages with smaller gaps between the cage bars?

[@Reaper_paragon]

Very cool about the music.

[@ToteDichter1984]

*humans inside a cage Shark: "Oh, who put you in there?! Thats not right. Let me help you out, before.... the turtles come. 😬" Humans: "Oh look, its attacking us. What a horrible monster..." Then... the turtles came. And the peope on the boat winded up a empty cage.... DAM DAM DAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

[@WhatSayCrochet]

Even worse, Shark's breath by moving. When this shark was caught between the bars of that cage, likely it was struggling to breath.

[@alexreza1552]

I thought sharks had more sensory organs that allow them to detect vibrations other than just traditional ears. Regardless, great video, another large step for science!

[@WhatSayCrochet]

What if the guy managing the speakers had started playing the Jaws theme song? 3:40 I wouldn't be able to decide between amused or nervous. Combination of both, "oh nice one" and "are you F*n serious?". How would you react to that?

[@Sofia-qn6fs]

Wow Sharks have so much power🦈😔

[@larrygardiner4039]

They are following the appetizing bait attached to the rope to the humans which are the main dish.

[@truebluedots4776]

That is beautiful =with the music...

[@buddahreinart2061]

Could it be hunger?

[@terryford8280]

I know right!!! They're fresher meat!!

[@jickhydro]

Would be so lit playing some bass boosted Korn down there and watching the sharks while just jammin out in the cage.

[@hishamalhejaili6357]

Wow 🤩 amazing channel.. I like national geographic channel

[@dynamosaurusimperious2718]

Another pretty awesome Shark Week video

[@northerners2828]

The cage must full of screens for the safety of the divers..

[@jcsfo0trub874]

WOW! THIS IS SCARY 😨

[@mdcs1992]

2:27 the music might attract the sharks but the loud heavy bass "background" music put me right off this video. So many channels do the same.

[@omnaaggvin3747]

they had no control, they should have tried with bait aswell and see if it made the sharks agressive. its very rare for cage dives to end in attacks, so chances are any random time you attrack them with bait they wont be agressive.

[@ГеоргийМанаев-х8э]

Ух страшно, но не оторваться

[@nikkiloren4009]

Shark: " Party over here!"

[@James_Blacsktar]

How people love playing with sharks.)

[@SY-oo9sc]

Nice and good thank you

[@idontno0]

Vibrations in the water from speaker.

[@babblesandbubbles]

this is more interesting then I thought it would be.

[@shorea27]

Can anyone tell me the music they played for the sharks? Who performed it?

[@sherlockholmes8872]

Darkest Hour Enter Oblivion

[@blamb9977]

People: Why are sharks attacking cages? Also People: Dragging baits at high speeds right by the cages and blasting them with sonar, radar, and chum/bait boxes *facepalm

[@othmaneelkhachia1121]

That is the scariest thing I ve ever seen

[@engin23043]

It doesn't look right to make such conclusion with a single shark. That specific animal might not be in the mood for a cute marine biologist

[@PondokKlene77]

Berdebar-debar menonton tayangan ini. Keren NG.

[@CheapRobot]

The sharks have clearly seen Jaws.

[@Its_zoey25]

I guess they never seen 47 meters down

[@kaliabrockwell4899]

Anyone know the song??

[@sherlockholmes8872]

Darkest Hour Enter Oblivion

[@expertexcavatinginc]

Not exactly a mystery.

[@brylesmith1374]

That cage gap is wayyy too wide.

[@qpcaroldb]

poor thing

[@teti_99]

My people in Polynesia been knowin this for millenia. It's how they snare in the shark to offer it as a sacrifice. Sound. A specific sound. There's an ancient legend behind it as well.

[@clockwork914]

Magnanimous Creatures❕ 🦈

[@ballplaya96x67]

Does anyone know where I can watch the full clip at the .07 mark?

[@mitchell123123McPRO]

4:40 top right Is that bait

[@choquedoday]

I really like your videos, long-lasting interaction registration👍👍💖💖

[@carlodanese9120]

I see a bigger problem. Those huuuge openings in the cages, would never enter such a cage unless it's made by my specifications...no big holes( max 40cm) and no mesh. Even better, don't swim with them

[@kristjankodarin9730]

Nice

[@матвейфилиппи-н2э]

Страшно как

[@littlewing6735]

That's wonderful. Good for her! I hope companies stop using the baits, but change is often slow.

[@kalynmiller666]

It's Shark Week MATES!!!!!

[@ludsat1]

It might ram the cage if you played slayer...I would

[@ИринаБолохова-ъ5ъ]

Good

[@ayanokojikiyotaka7603]

When Mark Rober films about shark attacks then

[@ccaa7674]

There are videos of sharks literally peacefully swimming with uncaged divers and swimmers who are just chilling in the water. Poor sharks are probably hurting themselves on the cages.

[@hamzaltchino6710]

Scary

[@caioton]

Cage diving should be forbidden. They hurt the animals and sometimes even case their deaths. When are we going to learn some respect for the animals and stop hurting them for our amusement?

[@seanaswan7520]

In Russia at the moment the area of forests on fire is 3.5 million hectares. Forests have been burning for 3 months in the richest regions in terms of natural resources. From there diamonds, gold, oil, gas are pumped out and exported abroad, but at the same time the region is drowning in poverty, no resources are allocated to extinguish fires.

[@nikkimoon1533]

That shark is from KZbin. He's coming to check it the music is copyrighted.

[@jmagbero17]

Nah you should play baby shark song instead

[@esperadopancho25]

Bcoz...they curious...whats infront them...

[@melpunks5797]

That was kinda cool

[@aliciatomasroche1566]

Por favor, please, subtitular en Español, spain

[@이정민마리엘라-i5v]

Wow~!

[@jumpstartfpv]

So sharks love the beat drops?

[@connormcsorley9323]

The gaps in the cage are always quite wide, is there a reason for this?

[@assassinaria]

For humans to escape for whatever reason they need to (eg. the people on the boat aren't reeling them up)

[@kentpatrickancog9922]

Gam'yi kaha nag buho inyung cage oy hahaha

[@kunobuje542]

Yeeer ,what a Mistry!!

[@pastorbobgill3127]

I’m sorry I’m watching this whole video and I’m not a shark expert but I know this whole thing is just all again theory it’s all guesswork. I think it’s great that people do you want to study about the wildlife in the ocean such a sharks and stuff they have a better understanding. They have to have concrete proof and they don’t.

[@danielvasquez8117]

4:44 ... "cause no bait"--Yet there is a small portion of fish tied to a hook where the shark is circling. Trump voice: "Fake Documentary!"

[@phyzix_phyzix]

Sample size of 1

[@friedpuddycatgamer4682]

They played Billie Jean and the sharks swam backwards.

[@njorogefred150]

Obviously the divers are the ones invading and not the weak bait.

[@Truesurvivor126]

Hi

[@artfx9]

Obviously sharks like metal. ☆

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

Today I learned that sharks are metalheads.

[@spongy5436]

wow

[@darkminister1503]

I Never gonna do this in my life 😨😨😨

[@theavengers.]

Nicee shark video

[@AshwaniKumar-cl9bs]

It's more like, why sharks also attack cage divers.

[@dongsoopark7111]

nice

[@SY-oo9sc]

how are you

[@whyudodis214]

I hate hooman doing this to sharks look how the feel when they hit or stuck by those metal cages hmmph!
