For everyone wondering why she's wearing chainmail, it's to protect her from their teeth while she removes fishing hooks and other things that get stuck and caught. She has formed lots of bonds with sharks because of this and "word" seems to get around since many come to visit her for it. There are plenty of lovely videos here on KZbin with people not wearing chainmail and interacting with sharks as she does :)

[@khelgarironfist3301]

But why on the whole body though? Wouldn't just hands and arms suffice or just in case that sharks go berserk and eat her as a whole?

[@magekarp4531]

Khelgar Ironfist sharks don’t have hands or paws, and they are curious, so the only way they have to “investigate” something is by biting, even if they don’t want to hurt us with these bites our body’s are too soft and we end up getting hurt, it’s for protection. They are wild animals after all

[@jmbmntis]

I was about to make a comment asking about the armor, thanks for the cool info

[@broadbandislife]

Besides shark bite protection mail is apparently also sometimes worn by electricians in case of mishaps with live current - being wreathed in conductive metal creates a Faraday cage that keeps you from getting fried. Apparently also sometimes used as "socks" to protect from snakebites IIRC.

[@fawnieee]

@@magekarp4531 exactly. They are very inquisitive and curious creatures, it's just a shame that it's results are so dire. It's a behaviour called mouthing for those who don't know, there's videos of them chopping down and biting on shark cages and rubber boats etc. They don't mean harm and it's not an act of aggression, they just want to figure out things.

[@eririspencersawamura5291]

Or alternatively: Snuggle with weird ape and get free food.

[@SpadesNeil]

All pleasure derived from petting ultimately comes from grooming. This is even true for humans. You'll also find that animals who do not participate in any kind of grooming are kind of "meh" about petting. So, it's really quite the same as petting a dog or someone gently stroking your own head or back. Sharks normally gain this grooming pleasure from feeder fish, so I believe with reason that they still get the same pleasure from being pet even if not being actively cleaned. The sensation feels nice to them either way or they would not do it.

They actually can. Most shark attacks happen in murky or dark water. During such they more heavily rely on the organ in their nose for detecting electricity. Infact usually shark attacks end on their own after they start, when the sharks get a bite and decide it doesn’t taste right. Again keynote is Usually. They still are dangerous.

*For everyone who wonders:* These sharks also have prominent spiracles, or respiratory openings behind the eyes that allow the fish to pull in water while buried under sand. Other sharks use ram ventilation; that is, they ventilate their gills by swimming very fast with their mouths open. Some sharks, such as the tiger shark, can switch between buccal pumping and ram ventilation depending on quickly they're swimming. "Obligate ram ventilators" are sharks that have lost the ability, and the necessary anatomy, for buccal pumping, and instead can only respire using ram ventilation. Sharks from this group (which includes great white, mako and whale sharks) would indeed die from lack of oxygen if they stopped swimming.

Realistically the only reasons are shark would attack someone is because 1 : They are starving and got desperate 2 : The water was murky and they mistook you for prey 3 : Lamb Sauce In clear water and under good circumstances sharks are oddly friendly , it's adorable . 4 : *It's a shark movie*

[@fawnieee]

Most shark species can't digest humans because we're often not fatty enough for them, tigers and bulls might be able to but most can't. When they bite they're often repulsed by our blood. But I do agree with you, as their habitats and prey items are being destroyed and overfished they do become more desperate. Some even go after fishers catches who dive and stab fish (can't remember the name) and go after the caught fish. Sharks are essential to our ecosystems and health of our ocean, we really do need them! And while some can't overlook the terrible work of Spielberg and Hollywood of their successful demonisation of sharks and that they perceive them as bloodlusting monsters, they're predators like any other who want to survive, eat and so on. Hollywood has done such a disservice to these magnificent creatures.

[@gyppygirl2021]

Dolphins actually tend to be more aggressive than sharks. They also tend to do... well, to put it lightly, some really nasty stuff. Like chewing on puffer fish to get high (and the fish probably doesn't survive that encounter). Dolphins have a good rep in media because they have human-like intelligence and are "cuter", while sharks have been demonized for no good reason. (Of course, I'm not saying that we should kill dolphins, they're also an important part of the ecosystem. I'm also not saying that we shouldn't have a healthy respect for sharks - they can still be dangerous.)

MANY years ago I was surfing on a remarkably good water clarity day for southern California. Between sets I was admiring the fact that I could see the bottom (we usually can't). As I looked down, a very big shark swam, slowly and calmly, under me along the bottom. I inhaled sharply to start screaming, but realized before I started yelling that he was already past me and ignoring the surfers. Definitely got some looks, but decided not to say anything. The shark wasn't even the tiniest bit interested in us and I would have just freaked everyone out. I have had many days where the water was super murky and I got one of those creepy vibes that makes you paddle over to be in the middle of the surfer pack. Makes me wonder how many times over the years sharks have been right below me. Probably lots.
