Great White Sharks in Infrared & Footage You've Never Seen Before.

The coast of California is a jungle of sea life. Among that life are Great White Sharks interacting with other sharks, sting rays, and fish. It's my favorite type of footage to capture. In this video, I share some extraordinary behavior that may give scientists some insight into the life of white sharks off the California coast. I also test infrared capabilities.

Honestly more informative than Shark Week.

And actual science. Real observation, not glibly repeating jargon to sound scientific

[@miguelsanchez6370]

Shark weeks just a bunch of fear mongering rubbish.

[@wmcarter6096]

That's because this person actually appreciates and respects sharks unlike shark week

Thanks for sharing and caring obviously the wider picture of this marine environment that you are highlighting is very useful to better understand how species get along... fascinating effort well done 🙂

Shark week has been a joke the last three years at least.

I thought i had subscribed before.. Love the channel and it will grow for sure

[@phoenixgirl70]

Maybe it’s the name? If he had Great White Shark that would really grab peoples attention. And people need to see this footage and be educated about sharks so much!

[@Fractalite]

I agree with the commentary. This video that just concentrates on the sharks doing their thing in their natural habitat without concentrating on the shark/ human proximity makes this one extra special. Highlights for me were the sharks swimming with rays, the dolphins mating and all the whites gathering together after sunset .

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Much appreciate your comment. My favorite moments are sharks with other species.

[@bartholomewlyons]

And this dude has under 100k subscribers? I don’t get how KZbin works...

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Best you can do for him is to like his videos and add a comment to make him more visible. I agree with you, this channel should be way more popular.

[@tarwagon]

No kidding, eh? As unjust as it seems, sometimes it can take a little time to start racking up the sub count for channels that have excellent content such as this......even though he started this channel in 2013 , It looks like the drones catching aerial Great White shark footage is a relatively new brand for his channel , he only started doing it about a year ago. Before that he had a couple of whale footage videos via drone and then about 5 or so unrelated videos spanning back to 2013. I know a year sounds like it should be enough time for a channel like this to blow up, but sometimes it can take a little longer for the subs to start rolling in, it's just the sheer amount of content out there , people can get side tracked with crappy content before finally stumbling on quality channels like this. I bet it will happen pretty quickly here with the sub count starting to exponentially rack up. When it starts happening though , it usually grows extremely fast from what I've observed with a few decent channels that are fairly new, be it a brand new channel or a fairly recent change in the type of content on an existing channel. It's inevitable , this is just too great an idea with awesome content. I know what you mean though , this channel is so much more deserving of a higher sub count than so many of the garbage youtube channels out there. These uploads are bloody amazing. Definitely worth recommending to friends and family........and strangers too, shit! lol ; )

[@Sean-Patrick]

I so love your calm voice. It's full of love for the animals. With the music it touches somethoing deep inside of me. Your videos activate something inside of me, some deep understanding of life. Thank you so much for your work.

Go find the sharks. You will be surprised what you find, even in Greece. Safe travels to you and thanks for watching!

[@BernhardElsner]

@@TheMalibuArtist La Gomera is an island in the Atlantic and belongs to Spain, not to Greece. Probably it is easier to observe sharks there than it is in Greece ;-) (Unfortunately the White Shark population in the Mediterranean Sea is very decimated.) I love your videos, they are so well filmed and the music is well chosen. Thank you very much!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

[@betofernandez5524]

Agree

[@epicjourneyman2145]

I used to be an avid spearfisherman in the waters of San Diego and in my whole time of doing it only saw what may have been a White Shark once...Things have dramatically changed since, there is nearly never a day with good visibility due to algae blooms, 7 gilled sharks are rampant in La Jolla, and White sharks are nearly everywhere. I don't spearfish anymore.

[@Tempusverum]

California waters are full of whites this year. Enter at your own risk!

[@Automedon2]

it is my belief that overfishing the large species of fish that are the sharks food out at sea is sending them closer to shore. It is that way in New England since the cod have been depleted. It's possible that stingrays are now a principal food source but it wasn't always that way. But just my theory.

[@montesol]

When I was 15 I was snorkeling off the shore of a small cay in the Caribbean over a large school of rays. I love reading about sharks and knew then that there was a chance of a shark being around a school of fish, but didn't know they enjoyed the company of rays. I didn't know how common it was! Wonder if there was one around me then :)

[@BenKrushkoff-BritanniaTVSeries]

Truly amazing footage that's worthy of an international audience. I've learnt more about the behaviour of White Sharks from The Malibu Artist than I have from pretty much any documentary. Great work, man!

[@sofiaonetsy9892]

I love watching these videos! Sharks are so misunderstood. I love how you explain what they are doing and why the sharks are doing it. Thanks for the videos!

It's great to hear how humble you are about your ideas and defer to independent marine biologists for further clarification. As a teacher, I prefer showing my students informational videos such as yours because of the message you deliver while also educating your viewers. It is important our children learn to embrace others in the community while learning so that we can come together to protect species such as sharks. I hope my students and children can make videos with the same key ideas in the future.

[@jasonfenris1791]

Thank you @TheMalibuArtist, I so enjoy your videos! I have loved the white shark since I was a child... and you are living my dream. My childhood heroes were Rodney Fox and Jacques Cousteau and I lied about my age to get my diving certification at age 9... diving by myself in lakes and rivers (I told the President of my local dive club that my dive buddy was "some guy"). I started college 20 years ago, majoring in Biology to pursue this dream and being close to these great animals, and I was quickly told that "science" is only in service to "mankind" and so, to forget about anything amazing without possibly having to kill it... my childhood in Montana swimming with muskrats, beavers, carp, bass, and trout (and observing their behavior) came crashing down. So...anyway... your channel makes me happy :)

As usual most excellent video. You seem to have a gift especially narrating your videos while documenting the behavior of the sharks. Hope you get more offers from these documentary programs to narrate their videos. I use to go skin diving a lot around South Cal and SCUBA diving and then deep sea fishing and all the time I never seen any of these sharks. I guess that is a good thing because I knew they were there, but I never knew how numerous they were or I might have never gone in the ocean.

You are contributing more to the science of ocean field biology than thousands of people who graduate with a related biology degrees each year.
