White Sharks and their visual acuity underwater is incredibly detailed. They are very cautious about their prey. The sharks are NOT mistaking humans for seals. They know exactly what they're attacking, every time.

[@SharksHappen]

That is what i think also. They can see us much further away than we can see them. See it all the time in drone footage

[@marilievanderwalt]

I'm constantly amazed at the bravery of the bystanders and/or friends of those who have been attacked, risking their lives in the water trying to save them, often by 16+ ft sharks. I doff my cap to you!

Oceanic White tips are the sharks that got the USS Indianapolis sailors. At the time of the Egypt attack they were taking divers out to see the Oceanic White tips with no problems at all. There's an interesting interview with a researcher/dive mistress and she said there was about 5 or 6 attacks all within a few weeks the Egyptian authorities kept covered up.

I grew up in Venice Florida right near the intercoastal waterway. I had a 12 foot John boat with a trolling motor and I lived on the Intercoastal waterway from about 9 to 16. I was one time spearfishing sheepshead in the intercoastal waterway brackish waters. I had a bag stolen from me that was tied to my shorts with about six sheepshead in it. It was stolen by a lemon shark. Yes a lemon shark. I was quite far miles up in the intercoastal waterway probably 3 miles. I was in about 8 to 10 feet of water very clear. The shark came up out of nowhere it brushed into me turned back around before I could spin around it had already taken the bag from in between my butt legs. Thank God that’s all he got from in between my legs! I haven’t heard too much information about lemon sharks being in the intercoastal waterway. The shark was probably 4 to 6 feet. When it brushed into me was like a incredibly sharp micro cheese grater. There was quite a bit of my blood in the water. Needless to say I don’t believe I ever spearfished again. It is an incident I think about often.

Love the show, Hal! After binge watching, I am now absolutely convinced that my ‘ double bump’ was a shark. Date: Summer of 1989. Time: Dusk ( dumbass me, I KNOW BETTER!) Place: approximately 5 yards off the shore of the public beach on Siesta Key, FL I was 28 at the time. I had decided to train for a mini Ironman competition. I was already biking and running well. But, I had no experience with competitive swimming. So I went to the local YMCA and took swimming lessons. The race’s swimming portion would be off the public beach in the Gulf of Mexico. Because I had seen JAWS at an impressionable age, I was going to do my training in the pool. I thought that for sure there would be safety in numbers on the day of the event. I would go to the Y every morning to do laps. And every morning I would get stuck behind the same very Slow swimmers. Being frustrated, I decided to go to the actual location of the swim part of the race to train. I am standing on the beach thinking, wrong time of day (dusk , after work! When you live in paradise, you generally have that ‘pesky paying job’ that limits your beach times to evenings and weekends!) wrong color suit ( I think the tag on this one piece suit said the color was ‘baby seal BLACK’) , this is where Jaw’s meaner, more agile, bull shark cousins live and I’m wearing my fav necklace because the life guard was cute. ( like a necklace meant I was cool? Maybe I wanted it to flash and look like scales???) and with one huge sigh of F_ _ _ IT! I go in to do a few straight runs , BY MYSELF, just off shore, in about waist deep water. ( cuz shark don’t attack in shallow water?) I was probably 1 minute into my swim when something about the size of a fist bumps my right thigh. WTF… I had just learned how to swim freestyle correctly so I rationalized the ‘bump’ as a swirling water sensation as my hand passed by that portion of my thigh. Triple Jesus, Right? So I take a few more stroke and it happens again. This time I am walking, make that running on water to shore. After that I decided that the only open water swim I would EVER participate in from then on would be as a support crew from the shore. I don’t think I have been in the gulf since that day and I am 60 now. Keep up the great show!!

Oceanic whitetips are down as the shark with the most predations on people. These shark are habituated to react to the sound of explosions and noises associated with a sinking ship. This tells me we are on the menu for this shark when they're hungry. They do hunt us. Completely agree with the vision of sharks.

Like your stories bud, well done. One comment I believe the biologists have pretty much proven that Bull sharks can survive in fresh water. I have an old army buddy from MN who is with MNDNR who told me they have found bull shark teeth up there and they are not fossils. Interesting though, keep up the good work, the halloween video was awesome. Thanks again.

[@intothedepthscoco]

They can't "survive" in only freshwater or for exceptionally long periods of time in fresh water (and especially if you just take a shark and throw it into a fresh water tank). But they have a way to retain salt water through kidney salt recycling and retention with another organ that allows them to keep an amount of salt in their system, unlike other sharks, which allows them to go for periods of time into fresh water systems, but they are still a salt water shark, and need to return to the sea. And this system takes them from the saltwater of the ocean through brackish water and into most fresh water, but it works to regulate through these changes. I doubt that system would work by taking a shark from the ocean and throwing it into totally freshwater. I like these videos, but to say research on any animal stopped correctly 30-40 years ago is a strange statement. I think science finds new things out all the time. Keep up the rest of your good work.

bro, i got news for ya, there is an entire lake in Nicaragua infested with bull sharks. This isn't like a "maybe" they were in the Mississippi or anything like that. They have been tagged and studied and initially it was thought they were a unique species of shark until they realized they were just regular old bull sharks. So....pretty sure they can live in fresh water at least for some time. The lake is connected to the ocean via a river and they have tracked tagged sharks swimming up the river which takes anywhere from 7 to 11 days. So assuming a immediate turn around, they can live in fresh water for at least 20 days. But it looks more like indefinitely.....

A Russian woman was attacked in Sharm Al-Sheikh by the same Oceanic White Tip that killed the other woman. In a documentary about it, a dive guide had hand-fed an OWT during a dive with tourists. The shark was identified by a disfigurement around the tail. Tourists had also been feeding reef fish bread etc which was illegal to do and is believed to have drawn in some sharks.

I can't speak for all painters but I believe form first hand experience that 3 out of 4 painters working on tall ladders are impaired on something. So I imagine that this work place stress would be the same. Anyways, I don't feel sorry for the lady. She paid for this experience and got hurt. She willing jumped in the water with hungry makos. I wished you talked a bit more on the poachers life in the Dyer island attack. I heard that when the first start off on the 3 or 4 km swim they swim together until they get to the end of the kelp forest. How they try to space themselves 10m apart from each other. How they have to swim a few hundred meters threw the great white strike zone. How Dryer island has one if not the largest cape seal populations in the world. It has some of the best great white cage watching in the world. Not to mention these people are not "Missed" by authorities if they go missing. It's just a nightmare inducing way of life for these people. Thanks again Hal, Todd

Todd, I was in tool and die and one of the brideport operators daily bought a carton of milk at 9:30 am and would drink it all day. Wasnt til he smashed it with a hammer that they figured out what he was doing, we all knew... He was drinking of course... Hedgin, I have heard that when an Orca killed a shark the sharks abandon the are for years at times. You might be right.

[@mrtodddelaroderie]

@ Hedgin Bets From what I've read the Orcas do come through occasionally to hunt the seals. Most often from my understanding just the Orcas sounds will usually scare off the sharks. But for some reason the Orcas kill a great white shark and they eat it's liver, I think this is right. The great whites will scatter off for a few weeks. But it seems like according to what I've read, the will be back in a few weeks. I guess the great white hunger drives them back. The only reason I know this is because the cage diving business gets destroyed when the Orcas come by. So it happens but this is still supposedly one of the best spots for great whites cage diving in the world. I too feel horrible for these poachers. The are migrants and they are treated very poorly by South Africa. They are very poor and their quality of life is horrible. Believe it or not but I've read that a significant amount of people think they are lazy. And that's why the poach for Abalone around Dryer island. Since they only need to make a couple (don't know how many but it seemed like less than 10 dives) to make as much money working 40 hours a week for a year in a physical laboring job. I also read from various tidbits that even the admits that the official number of shark attacks there are way off too. I forget the numbers but the government low balled the number I think around 12. But a local priest and other people in this migrant encampment put the number up to 60 such attacks. It is a horrible situation for these poor people anyway you look at it.

Great Video Hal! On Shark Week they did a Special on the one you talked about in Egypt 100 % those attacks were from feeding Sharks and the Sharks were conditioned to associate Humans with Food, that is why she was bitten on the hand (Handing Fish) and the Buttocks (Where the bag of fish was kept) Oceanic White Sharks they talked about are deep ocean Sharks, the special said the only reason an Oceanic White Tip was close to shore was because of people feeding them on tours Amazingly they caught 2 of the Sharks from the Attacks in that area, 1 was a Mako with very Unique Teeth I wish I could tell you the exact episode but this attack they definitely analyzed on Shark Week and they nailed it! when Sharks attack.....Sharm-El-Sheikh-Egypt Episode Aired November 4, 2020 Season 6 Episode 6

[@SharksHappen]

I finally gathered a few more Sharm attacks yesterday. Will cover the 2 women and 2 men attacked on the same day. That case really stands out. Now i have read it is chickens they were purposely dumping to get the sharks in to get tourist dollars to go see them. I saw the mako they caught. They didnt get the WT tho. Mako crazy teeth as the lowers are the round long pointy teeth like a grey nurse and the uppers more knife like…. I hate the thought of being eaten by any relatively small shark. Alive too long thru the process.

Hal you make me laugh out loud, the idiot rants are awesome!

[@ray2895]

Shark's are eating machines, they'll try to eat anything they run across. Another interesting report Hal. I wouldn't trust anything in the water.

Enjoyed this episode When I was a kid I had such fun playing in the ocean. After seeing the movie jaws I think I went once in the ocean to play.

[@tsreiki]

I agree, I am always so grateful and awed when I hear of people who go to the rescue, true heroes! I know a lot of times it wont save the victim but I cant imagine how terrifying it would be knowing a great predator is trying to eat you and how awful it would be to scream for help and no one comes .. I think of the families, Im sure they appreciate that someone went to their aid no matter the result

[@richards6367]

Bull sharks are common in the Zambezi river in South Africa, they have been found many kilometres upstream, so they have adapted to fresh water

[@SharksHappen]

Saltwater from tides goes dozens if kms up every river twice a day at high tide. I will keep waiting for a shark with fresh fish species in its stomach when opened

[@Bethlam]

Oceanic white tips and bull sharks are the scariest sharks to me. Supposedly it was oceanic white tips are the sharks that killed the sailors of the Indianapolis in WW II.

[@Bethlam]

@@hedginbets7356 I agree it probably wasn’t only the white tips but great whites were solely to blame for a long time.

[@Vanessacurry84]

I saw a few attacks happened at the Whitsundays in Australia it was once considered safe to swim there I’ve seen three reports in case u wanna look into that place it caught my eye!!!

[@SharksHappen]

I will have to look. Whitsundays not familiar to me at all so I know I havent ran across an attack there yet.

[@Vanessacurry84]

@@SharksHappen yeah I never heard of them I guess bc it’s supposed to be considered a safe zone they didn’t have any attacks for like 70 years I’m guessing years bc I don’t can’t remember exactly but anyway it caught my eye when I heard how rare attacks are there after a lady there was two young boys dk names I think tigers are what they’re saying was the culprits

[@johnshields6852]

Oceanic white tips mouth and teeth structure is similar to bulls, usually deeper water, out of the top three dangerous sharks, white tips #4.

[@FrankGina2016]

At 15:30…. That’s my favorite time of the show! Rofl 🤣

[@daymonlindsey8150]

I can honestly say with 100% certainty you will NEVER hear me say " I got bit by a shark "

[@johnhammond9962]

Even if they did not have white at their tips, you can tell what breed they are. Dorsal fin is very curved, pecs are very long. They are no joke.

[@SharksHappen]

Scary look to them too... Beady little eyes....

[@MermaidMama360]

Superlative episode sir.

[@cindyvan635]

Wow!!! Chilling content! 🦈🦈🦈

[@sarge420]

While stationed in Egypt, I had two days in Hurghada (R&R) and snorkled myself in the Red Sea. You could see 70-100ft down in areas. Not sure why I did this?

[@seeker7679]

Those guys were swimming to Dyer Island and back?! I find that hard to believe.

[@SharksHappen]

That is on me... This story doesnt say it, but another poacher attack, same thing, swimming 3 miles to dive.. But that story says they carry floats so they really are just kicking.

[@ericbollinger1821]

Hal I love your channel. Thanks for, well quite frankly, your common sense reporting on these shark attacks. Also, thanks for calling out these stupid &^$&$ idiots who do stupid stuff. Sometimes, I feel ashamed to be part of the human race, after hearing what these idiots have done. Keep up the good work brother!

[@almabeckwith6575]

awesome thanks

[@donnieg9117]

Oceanic Whitetips generally live far offshore in open ocean. They eat ANYTHING they can catch because missing an opportunity in the open ocean can result in starvation. They have to eat you , that's just how it is with Oceanic Whitetips.

[@SharksHappen]

Yes, will be getting into the Indianapolis and i have a show of attacks from sea disasters, a blimp, a boat, a plane…..

[@donnieg9117]

@@SharksHappen Indianapolis was a textbook Whitetip example but I've always thought blue sharks likely showed up also. I look forward to watching you tell that story.

[@michigandogman3060]

I’ve fished and been in the water at Tomales Bay and it feels pretty sharky, I also had a few friends that abalone dove commercially there and tin the Channel Islands near Santa Barbara.
