[@SPaige4]

Just in regards to some of the comments... You're actually safer underwater with these guys than swimming at the surface. Being at the bottom takes away their ability to sneak up under you. Maintaining eye contact also keeps them in check. They only test you when you're not looking. They also can't swim backwards, so if you just redirect them, they keep on moving. As far as the rolling goes, they do that entirely on their own. It's physically impossible for a human to flip over a 1,500 lbs. animal with just a couple fingers. One last thing, once the bait is gone, they scatter and want nothing to do with us. And it's never nearly enough food or often enough to disrupt their normal behavior. Anyways, enjoy!

That water is so clean it's amazing how clear everything is

[@Castlevi3w]

Amazing. Particularly with all that urine wafting about…

[@chrisklugh]

You know the reason for those clear waters is there's not a lot of nutrients in the water to support life. There's very little micro life in the water. Most of the ocean is biologically a desert. Its only in certain areas that we see them teaming with life. Mostly at the mouth of rivers, and where strong waters currents that move nutrients from one area to another.

[@miracleshappen4483]

I saw a video where a woman literally put her hand inside a shark mouth to get rid of a huge hook in its mouth. Despite the pain, the shark kept its mouth open and twisted and turned visibly in pain, yet it never closed its mouth during the entire process. It was like the shark knew what the woman was doing. I've never seen such a symbiotic relation between a human and a shark; it was a matter of total trust from both sides. 💖👍🦈

[@Ddcgb]

This reminds me of the relationship between some type of shrimp and fish. The shrimp cleans the mouth and gills of the fish while the fish stays still. Some sharks allow this if they trust the human. The woman might have been feeding them for quite some time and develops the same relationship as the fish and shrimp's. Was it also the same woman that after quite some time, more and more sharks seeks her aid whenever they have hooks on?

I was excited to work as a laborer for the EPA. Figured the Environmental Protection Agency would, you know, protect the environment. Turns out the job mostly involved spraying poisons, running chainsaws, pouring concrete, and putting up barbed wire. You know. The typical environmental protection stuff. Every once in a while a biologist would stop by to say hi to us common laborers, soon returning to their job of composing reports. Which was, as I understood it, mostly just to couch our activities in the appropriate language so that it would all look good on paper. So, have fun being a biologist. Marine or otherwise.
