Drone Footage of Great White Sharks, Surfers, & Dolphins Together All at Once.

This week, I film several white shark & human encounters including a pod of dolphins that swim right between the sharks and the humans. I also meet actor Orlando Bloom and record his close up encounter with a large juvenile white shark. It's more clear to me now than ever that humans and white sharks can coexist peacefully in Southern California waters.

Orlando Bloom: OMG! It's a shark. Right here! That Shark: OMG! It's Legolas! Right here!

[@meghan253]

The shark turned around again bc he couldn't believe that it was Orlando Bloom!

[@kimberlyborges2420]

Lol

[@flyingseadragon]

Good one !

[@Georgina7769]

🤣

[@JUSTME-mb6lg]

If the shark was hungry enough and was searching for food, the video might be different. It might go different if the surfer came off the board and had to swim any distance. Also, try the same at night. Try this in South Australia, Perth, The Chatams, Sth Africa. As someone else said 'I respect sharks. So much that I Do Not Go In The Ocean. You are right, we should be more afraid of sharks because we are just food for them!!' To put yourself in front of a Great White hoping that it will only 'chew the fat' before moving on, is insane.

[@heatherhillman2994]

The shark hung around Orlando for so long in hopes he would pull out his phone and take a selfie with him!! Amazing footage again. I appreciate you so much!

[@miggyclark1613]

LMAO bro. Good one

[@fve1352]

If Orlando can handle the Kraken I am sure he has no issues with that tiny creature!

[@petethebeat4868]

This is just the single best wildlife channel on KZbin in my opinion. Your efforts on raising awareness that sharks are not just "Jaws" are awesome. Thank you, keep it up.

[@billrobbins5874]

Still afraid of them. Shoreline hugger. Hopeful the oil pipe leaking hasn't ruin that beach. Such a horrible thing to happen on yet another coastline. Interesting video, thank you. 🦈🤢🦈😰🦈

[@Alex-vq9vj]

Another excellent installment! Hilarious that you now even have "guest stars" 😂😂 My opinion on Bloom has risen, so job well done by him. Greetings from Germany!

[@naveendravid7142]

I had an encounter with a shark this past summer in Florida. It was about 20 or so feet away from me and broke the surface for a second when a wave hit. I didn't panic or anything but calmly swam back to shore. Guess what no one was bitten or eaten that day. When you are at the beach you'll more than likely be in close proximity to a shark and sometimes just won't notice, and why? Because shark aren't killing machines. They are fascinating, beautiful creatures and continue to be favorite animal

[@mellamodiego8458]

i think you should go on a “trip” to Australia ….the gold coast….Perth and south Australia and fly your drone there because there seems to be so many White shark encounters with humans and document the differences between white sharks of southern california and Australias white sharks.

[@Fractalite]

I doubt there is any difference. The ocassional test bite by adult whites in Australian waters is unfortunately ususually fatal. Most of the curious whites in these videos are juveniles. One thing i see in common between Australian shark attacks is they are usually always in overcast weather , with opaque water and early morning or late in the day. Perfect conditions for an adult shark to be unable to tell what hes encountered without a test bite. Like South Africa for the amount of hours so many surfers spend in the water of our coastlines, attacks are incredibly rare.

[@jakerubino3233]

@@Fractalite well in South Australia where I live, we very rarely encounter juvenile whites. They seem to be very much like those seen through to Western Australia - all adults, where the East coast waters generally have more juveniles. The behaviour of whites in different geographical locations has been recorded many times in the past as showing differences due to many factors differentiating these locales, so I believe that the footage would represent diverse behaviour if someone was to do similar work as the Malibu Artist over here.

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

@@jakerubino3233 I'll take a guess there are a good deal less adults than these juveniles . I know for example in western Australia there's just over 300 adults in total.

[@jakerubino3233]

@@annabizaro-doo-dah indeed! Studies have been showing for quite a few years now that the NSW coastline has the most well known nurseries for Whites in Australia and that they generally migrate south and west as they get older. I actually lived in Cottesloe for a few years in my teens so have some familiarity with that great state too. A quite well known fatality occurred in the shallows directly in front of the surf club while I was living there and regularly body boarded there most mornings.

[@jeric0777]

Jaimen Hudson's channel has some good drone footage of that area. He's from Esperance. I want to visit that area someday just because of his videos.

[@hesamalavi9]

You have done so much for shark education and awareness than national geographic and any other documentary. I swim in the ocean and have always felt anxious doing so, but your clips and explanation have reduced that anxiety and for that, I thank you very much. A few years back I saw a white shark while I was swimming and I panicked. If I see one now I would have more knowledge of what to do and hopefully enjoy their presence as they are majestic creatures.

[@gettheledout4510]

Your footage never ceases to amaze me! Living in Malubu you probably have more celebrity encounters. What a rush that had to be for Orlando. This is just beautiful, as always

[@MoteofVolition]

Wonderful, a premiere! Your work is amazing. G'day from Australia 🦘

[@StLProgressive]

I think it makes a huge difference whether people encounter juvenile or adults. How cool that you ran into Orlando Bloom. Makes sense that they couldn’t see the sharks. Their camouflage is perfect. It still makes me nervous to seem them so close to paddle boards etc.

[@annakeye]

It's interesting that the juveniles are cautiously curious, with none of the so called "test bites" that have been attributed to adult shark. As always, great drone work and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@lindasawyer2522]

beautiful, just absolutely breath taking, I was once in a very small boat, & we had a great white circle our boat for about 1/2 an hour, it is both scary & exhilarating at the same time!!! Cheer's from Australia!!

[@sheilatruax6172]

Malibu, your footage is amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us. Wow! I am very pleased to see that Mr. Bloom did not panic. How cool is that!

[@flyingseadragon]

I have been following you since day one! And i truly admire what you are doing and the way you are doing it. The best way possible. Keep up the great work. Awareness is growing thanks to you! Thank you!

[@crazycasy]

I thought the title was referring to an algae Bloom in Orlando Florida, lol

[@MrPancakeRepairman]

so did I at first ! Haha

[@iloveblondy]

How amazing that Orlando was at the same beach and got to interact with this guy's channel because of it! To this day, I bet Orlando thinks about this memory! Sharks are our friends, they just want to be loved like any other creature on this beautiful planet!

[@Heavymetal16]

yeaah noo! :P They may not be our enemy, but its for sure not our friend lol! Atleast not mine!

[@utahraptor2000]

@@Heavymetal16 still, they deserve respect in the end, in the same way any predator deserves respect

[@duncanself5111]

It's really fascinating and so revealing to see marine wildlife from a birds eye view

[@jenn1234]

Wow! Another amazing video showing how amazing nature can be. I give them surfers a lot of credit........I would have been scared out of my skin. Thank you for helping us understand more about these amazing creatures!! 😄❤️🐬
