Shark cam reveals Great White Shark hunting in kelp for first time

[@StLProgressive]

These shark POV cams are fascinating. Great way to research their behavior.

[@brookemartin6101]

😃 Wow, that was cool!. I didn't think a Great White Would stalk in a kelp forest, I thought it would get tangled.

[@shuwukong]

Kelp forest is scary enough... you don't need a stalking great white

[@senormonke4579]

Sharks are rarely ever in kelp forests

[@msavage138]

Open blue is way sketchier when spearfishing.

[@woornflows6046]

U know its just a kelp it wont hurt u The monster lurking in the kelp:

[@iwasadeum]

I did not know that sharks can "turn" their heads until I saw this video.

[@josefine9163]

So you thought they only went one way? Lol

[@henriksvensson126]

You can almost hear the Jaws music just by watching this.

[@Professional_Victim_H8er]

Holy crap @1:29 it really gives you an appreciation of how fast they are capable of swimming!

[@Americonservative]

While stationed at DLI-FLC in 1992, I was snorkeling through the ice cold waters of the Presidio of Monterey California "kelp forest" (off of the northern side of the peninsula) on a Saturday morning. Prior to that, nobody ever told me that great white sharks were in California. I learned that lesson instantaneously.

[@Erikali26]

He swims through it but he also seems to be trying to avoid swimming through it. Perhaps he's looking for otters.

[@pmfsify]

What a smart animal. Fantastic the way the shark look way up towards the seal. Awesome!

[@robwalsh9843]

I had heard that great whites avoid kelp forests. Now I know that nowhere is safe from prehistoric bitey torpedoes. Thanks for the nightmare fuel.

[@kitten-whisperer]

I'm from Michigan and people wonder why I'm afraid of sea weed in Lake Superiority. Even though they obviously don't live in fresh water, I'm still terrified one packed up his things and took a bus to the lake just to wait for me.

[@earthobserver2544]

No. You do well to stay out of the water.

[@AB1138-]

Bullsharks can survive in freshwater, and have made it at least 10k miles inland up rivers into Illinois

[@hand13932]

its been 2 years but i want to tell you that you're absurdly unlikely to ever encounter a shark in a lake, and even if you did, it probably wouldn't attack you anyway.

[@joevans27]

🤣🤣

[@jamespruett27]

he is probably trying to scrape off that camera...

[@TigersharkNation2691]

The ocean’s equivalent of a Tiger hunting prey in the jungle

[@LEGO_ASMR_]

You are safe in a kelp forest … sharks will never enter it 😂😂😂yeah right

[@lukawilliams4822]

One of the most fascinating things I have seen.. I hope they start to use more cameras on these magnificent creatures.. can you imagine what what they could catch on film. Imagine a shark attack on a human

[@auto_5]

That would be horrific and terrifying. But also super interesting.

[@waldfee90]

This really makes me extremly uncomfortable

[@lukemckenzie0121]

It turns out the real shark was inside of us all along

[@MonsterKeith_]

POV: You are Bruce from Jaws

[@Robert53area]

So almost 6 months ago was diving of Monterey California in the kelp forest, when a big shadow passed over the top of me, you bet your ass it was a great white, never went to the bottom so fast in my life. It has now made me paranoid in kelp forests but spear fishing is too much fun to say no to. Its mpvements dont look like an adult great white from the camera, looks more like a seal moving. Minus their whole circus spin thing.

[@auto_5]

That’s horrifying.

[@tree356]

Respect the Gentleman in the Grey Suit.

[@TbazBoys]

Glad I watched this the night before going diving in the kelp Forrest’s

[@xxamfjxx8087]

Looks like he knew how to get that pesky camera of his back

[@ngreene9199]

When a stalker steals your camera drone.

[@cristobalmarcobuceo]

I saw on a nature show that kelp is seals' safe haven from sharks (other than land obviously). Was the nature show fake news?

[@EcopiuM]

No it wasn’t. It’s still far safer then open water and makes it much more difficult for sharks to hunt.

[@EcopiuM]

No it wasn’t. It’s still far safer then open water and makes it much more difficult for sharks to hunt.

[@Robert53area]

Idk if its fake news, but I only have one experience with a great white in a kelp forest and that was in northern California, never seen them in the kelp forest or even the canyon in Southern California

[@sain223]

And this is why I would never spearfish on the west coast. Even the kelp forests aren't safe.

[@addisonwills18]

this is amazing

[@nathanmoore6487]

The ocean is monster soup

[@meganrobinson1179]

Ooh that was quite scary 😳

[@paulatreides6711]

just add the jaws score and it would be perfect

[@Antphoneigh]

I dunno, it could have been a Seaweed Shark.

[@earthobserver2544]

Such speed! Such maneuverability! What big teeth you have! Death on fins.....

[@justinwillingale2086]

Imagine if something bigger came along and just wrecked it

Only thing on the mind of a shark is eat

[@lassenker07]

False, sharks are very complex and curious animals. They've been seen checking out objects in the surface with their dorsal fin

[@kit2130]

Those words on the screen were the smallest I've ever seen. Completely unreadable & pointless. They would've fit on the head of a pin.

[@TheCuervo8]

Is u blind??

[@midnightstarr5413]

They all said to" head for the kelp beds !! " A shark won't go through the kelp as the kelp would wrap around the gills and drown a shark! Well this just shot that theory all to heck and came back for more!! Not like you'd EVER see me with even my big toe going in ocean

[@pov7853]

It did look like the shark was searching but couldn't hone in on anything specific so I'm guessing it's safer than open water
