I just love shark documentaries! Thanks for uploading. Need more

[@jkt3andme]

Same!😂

[@thelegioncollective]

And not just for Shark Week!

[@vanquannguyen7857]

*You're welcome! Shark documentaries are indeed fascinating. I'm glad you enjoyed the one we uploaded*

[@robdiesel2876]

Try @sharkshappen. He profiles shark attacks. Good story teller.

[@douglasjrhodes]

Of the years in the late 1970s to early 80s working about 100 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil industry on a production platform, I noticed several things with sharks: 1. They would only eat live fish in daylight. During the day, not once did they ever eat any type of dead fish, beef steaks nor pork or chicken. And I tried this many times. Big barracudas were the same. 2. When schools of blue fish (100s to thousands at times) would start “tapping their tails” on the water, sharks would come quickly by multitudes to catch and eat them. So, never slap or tap on the water where sharks abound, unless you want to call sharks to dinner. 3. At night, their behavior would change to eat anything throw on the water if they were around. They were much more aggressive. I once saw a large 55 gallon trash bag swallowed up in one gulp of a huge mouth as soon as it hit the water, and it was unforgettable and was etched into my brain. 4. They are incredibly fast! I saw a huge hammer head whip its tail twice approximately and flash out of sight, unbelievable but true. 5. They can see or at least know about movement above the water. I would have sharks circling me while hanging from a “sling” to paint the underside of the platform about 40 feet up in the air.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Were Mars and Ursa out there back then ?

[@catherinehpn3613]

Appreciate you sharing your insight, thanks.

[@jackie5522]

They DO eat dead fish. Men chum the water all the time. I’ve seen them wrap a big pc of dead fish and they go for it. The fishermen then pull it up out of the water with the shark attached and then rip it off taking it away with them. Swallowed underwater

[@wambuamwaki]

Children should always listen to their parents. Hannah learned the hard way

[@AndeePandCompany]

Came here for the Hannah comments 😂

[@s.larosa4141]

I guess Hannah should have listened to her father when he said come to shore. Lesson learned I hope

[@JamesBaylockJr]

These are the BEST! Keep the shark documentaries coming please!!!

[@vanquannguyen7857]

*I'm delighted to hear that you're enjoying the shark documentaries! While I can't personally create documentaries, I encourage you to keep an eye on your favorite documentary channels, streaming platforms, and nature networks for new and exciting shark-related content.*

[@SandraNelson063]

Hannah was lucky it was just a baby shark. To a shark, anything in, on or near the water is FOOD. And they are CURIOUS. To find out if something is food worthy, they bite. If someone is splashing around like a wounded fish, they will come speeding. The splashing is a dinner bell.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

It was a Baby Shark Doo Doo Doooo....

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Hannah got bit because she was a knucklehead. I'm glad that she wasn't more badly injured.

[@jackie5522]

She was a KID that’s what kids do!!!

[@debbiesdeathpile]

Hannah still doesn’t get it.

[@mike69er98]

If your parent, lifeguard, adult, tell you as a child or even another adult to get out of the water and you stand there splashing and slapping the water, you get what you get. Sorry, you shouldve listened. My kids are far from perfect and I've never had to reprimand them but a very, very few times but whenever I said to do anything, there was never a "but why dad, why" they just did it knowing that if it was for them to know, I'd tell them. In the case of a shark, I would've told them, actually I'm lying, I'm terrified of the beach, I do not go in the water anywhere so it would never happen when I was there, if they went, it was with mom.😅

[@jackie5522]

Sounds like they were scared of you. Most kids do push the boundaries. They are curious

[@adoreAsahra]

I was about to comment "unpopular opinion" but I'm glad it isn't just me. You raise your kids to listen to instructions early on. She was 12 and old enough to know when and how to listen.... assuming she was raised to do so. Considering her insistence, she probably got away with not listening....either way, when you don't listen, you feel. And she felt. Kids push boundaries but she knew he saw something startling enough to tell them to get out ....she should have followed her older sisters ...hope she learned her lesson since then

[@mike69er98]

@@adoreAsahra absolutely, you said it perfectly.

[@robertwalker7010]

Hanna was hard headed.

[@sunbeagle9769]

To this very day Hannah is wondering what happened.

[@Sushi2735]

You could give me a big condo right on the beach and I still would not swim in the ocean, ever.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Shark bites are extremely rare .

[@celebrityyae4191]

I like this type of videos over movies 😂

[@curtislavallee8444]

Thanks Nat Geo........I bet ya they don't have a Bigfoot under water,lol

[@ekamarie6632]

Bet Hannah listened to her dad real well after that and without question 😅

[@leaff_f]

I wish the monologue wasn’t so demonizing of sharks. Shark attacks are rare and the sharks that usually attack just happen to be shallow water animals, like most sharks and are naturally curious.

[@reneesantiago6496]

They actually aren’t as rare as we’ve been told. Worldwide shark attacks are on the rise. It’s a simple reason why……sharks are protected in many many places across the globe and this has caused a massive population of sharks.

[@jackie5522]

@@reneesantiago6496 there’s quite a few that are a protected species BC they were fished out!

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

The conclusion makes common sense, more people in the water more chance for attacks. I don't think there would be a shark attack if there was nobody in the water. Ya think so?😀

[@rottweilerfun9520]

I'm promoting you to Homicide Detective ! You'll be great !

[@littlezombie9621]

Nice footage!! Blacktip and blacktip reef are not the same species though, you used them interchangeably

[@lightningmcqueen181]

Back in 2001 My fiance @ the time & I were visiting my Mom in Cocoa. We went down the the Pier in Cocoa Beach & sat @ the outside Bar (2nd of 3 on Pier) & we see this est. 6 to 8 ft Shark swimming between the beach & 4 or 5 surfers about 200 meters away @ the time.. I asked the Bartender "Should we try to Notify the Surfers"?! She said " No" better not to Panic them.. I think the surfers ended up spotting it anyway but they were cool about it and didn't start splashing around. The shark went slightly deeper directly underneath them and came back up shollower past them seemingly unbothered.... By 2003 I had moved to West Palm Beach and remember the Shark Migration because a lot of them congregated just off the coastline for quite some time....

[@johnshields6852]

It's the shark attack capital but many are small species.

[@brittbrat4977]

New Smyrna Beach, Florida is the bite capital...just a little ways down

[@anaxoxo1832]

I’m so early !

[@AKbaby89]

I wonder why tiger sharks are attracted to yellow since they dont see color. 🤔

[@umbrellacorp.]

3:46 Don't be a Harden Hannah. 😒

[@Lemmi7810]

"Based on what cannibals have told us." Yeah.... Right .... A friend of my cousin knows a friend of cannibal. Something like that 😂

[@AKbaby89]

What does he mean at 23:34 ?? He said in 2003 they started documenting shark attacks. That would imply that they hadnt documented shark attacks prior to 2003, and i find that really hard to believe. I must be missing something, or he misspoke?

[@debbiesdeathpile]

He misspoke. The National Shark Attack files has been located in Florida for decades

[@asuperstraightpureblood]

Absolutely misspoke, shark attacks recorded as far back as the time of our revolutionary war.

[@sarahwinans8415]

Hannah is infuriating. Hope she learned her lesson.

[@lisac1364]

Listening to her afterwards I don’t think she did. Smh

[@rottweilerfun9520]

It could be that the attacks each had their own causes and they aren't necessarily related to each other.

[@anthonybrown5213]

Don't you just like the way humans that destined for land can tell you everything about the animals destined for water as they have lived the life of a marine animal😅😅😂😂😂.

[@dansullivan8648]

Cant believe that this documentary is trying to figure out why there is an uptick in shark bites. Its all about timing and how about if you're worried about getting attacked by a shark, dont go in the ocean. I know its a crazy idea but lets try it.

[@jerrytobin88]

We call it shark spring break. Or because it's a big school we say there on a field trip at least Dirtona NSB Surfers do.

[@Melsincatuation]

Sharks DONT MAKE MISTAKES!! They know exactly what they bite into...thEy obviously dont know about humans but they they know that we are NOT seals, bait fish, chum, etc... At the end that guy finally told everyone the truth instead of trying to make excuses for sharks!!! More people in water..means more shark attacks... PERIOD!!! NO EXCUSES

[@samward9641]

Why do I not feel bad for Hannah?

[@kyyomilo]

so many of y'all have beef with a 12 year old for making a mistake and not listening, like kids don't usually make mistakes, hers just happened to end very poorly

[@Sushi2735]

Hannah needed to learn how to mind her parents! Had she be taught this, it could have been avoided. I hope she raises her children better. I was taught to respond immediately, for safety. Too bad! My kids responded on the spot. Not to be mean, but protect them. As far a Damien, let’s hope he’s grown up and got a job.

[@jackie5522]

Some kids will do exactly what you tell THEM not to do. Human nature. Temptation

[@kunkmiceter]

Won't ever be me, I don't swim in the ocean. 😅
