I’m just waiting for the day that the news read “Tasmanian tiger rediscovered after almost 100 years!” After his most recent video.

[@DawnzeenaMcGill]

Hey! My great grandfather was on the Indianapolis! He actually confirmed that there were tiger sharks there and was terrified of them ever since because he watched them eat some of his crew mates. My mom is terrified of the ocean because of his stories. She actually forbid me from ever going into the ocean or visiting it till I was 14 and couldn’t understand my obsession with the ocean. When she finally relented she actually said “when you get eaten by those man eating sharks I won’t morn you. You’re not Melody! You will die if you go into the ocean!” Yea mom I’m not Ariel’s daughter but I may as well be with how you did everything to keep me from the sea, and sharks aren’t really usually dangerous. Also I’m still here so jokes on you!

[@vikingskuld]

Really you might want to watch a few episodes of sharks happen. Then come back and say they aren't really dangerous lol. Best of luck to you I swim in the ocean myself but I don't do it any where near dark and I don't wear yum yum yellow lol.

@@DawnzeenaMcGill lol I'm sure your right I know the odds are not that high that a shark will attack you. I just happened to see it before and then I was one time in my life watching a surfing comp on live TV if I recall and a guy got attacked by a shark. He got lucky as the rope attached from his ankle to the board got in the way and actually kept him from getting bit. It was a famous surfer and was all over TV. So I figure 2 times now I seen a shark attack someone. That's telling me I am not real a favorite in the odds against lol. Lucky I live in a state no where near the ocean now. My luck I'll be the first ever death by shark in the Ohio River lol. Watch those cows I seen them jump a fence like it wasn't even there lol. Seriously those things can jump. Thanks for the reply

Another fantastic video. Not to sound cheesy, but I'm sure to most aquatic creatures, we're the most monstrous thing they'll ever witness. I remember when I was a kid I was exploring by the river after a powerful storm, I saw a somewhat large, agitated, longnose gar trapped in a puddle. I didn't know what it was, but it certainly looked like a monster to my child eyes. Even so, I quickly realized that it was in crisis and cleared a way to connect its puddle with a stream that led to the river. Watching it swim off, I remember thinking that it was just another living thing like me, no matter how it looked. To this day I still think they're really neat creatures. Thank you for your dedication to educating people about animals that frighten us, mainly due to misconceptions. In most cases, as long as we don't invade their environments, we should be fine.

[@Bambisgf77]

Thank you for saving that gar. I cannot understand the people who’s response to that same situation is to harm the trapped animal. 😢

[@anlicsceadu]

Great video, I learned a lot! I do want to say that I honestly believe it's completely possible that a large amount of the men on the Indianapolis could of been killed by sharks. My Grandfather was on the SS Cape San Juan near Fiji when it was torpedoed by a Japanese Sub during WWII. Unlike the Indianapolis, SOS messages were received and rescuers arrived as quickly as possible, although it still took some time for them to get there. But like the Indianapolis, many of the men forced to abandon ship were attacked by sharks, mostly believed to be Oceanic Whitetips. There's actually archive footage of the rescue boats having to shoot the sharks off of the men they were trying to pull out of the water. The accounts are quite honestly horrific. My Grandfather was lucky, he was surrounded by leaking oil which he thinks kept the sharks at bay. He, and about 30 other men were on an overloaded raft for three days waiting for rescue. He earned a Purple Heart from the oil he got in his eyes, along with many others. Anyways, I just thought I'd add that tidbit. I do agree that mostly, sharks aren't out there hunting for humans! In this case, they were probably drawn in by the noise, movement, and possibly blood in the water. But they definitely did go after people. The SS Cape San Juan is ranked at the second largest mass shark attack in maritime history next to the Indianapolis, and knowing what I know about it...I can't help but believe that it was 100% possible that the Indianapolis had similar events, even if it wasn't as well documented because of lack of survivors and late rescue.

[@NeoEvanA.R.T]

Going down on a ship would definitely make you panic, and shark love panicking prey.

[@stinne5830]

Another point you could make is that if you aren't allowed to make the point that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than attacked by a shark because not everyone goes to beaches every year, then the statistics for lightning-strike fatalities are also screwed. They account for total population vs fatalities from lightning-strike injuries; however, you are only at risk of being struck by lightning if you are exposed during weather which specifically produces lightning. I think this logic would apply for most (very fair) comparisons that are often made to show how ridiculously unlucky you have to be to be attacked by a shark and die from it.

[@TheaSvendsen]

How awesome that you got to swim with a sea snake! I’m very envious of that. I once saw a stingray with a pattern like the blue ringed octopus but it was dead and laid stranded on the beach (Thailand, btw). Great video! Also gave me quite a few chuckles. I just really wish we humans could leave all of these animals alone…

There's a (contested) conservation concept/strategy I've heard refer to as PR-species. Those who find favour with the public in some way, who latch on to them. Think koala, siberian tiger, panda, etc. There are many counter arguments for (using) it, but it boils down to this: This allows for much easier public funding of efforts, as you are using a pre-existing robust emotional connection. and considering these species are often apex or keystone species, any conservation effort in their proximity can be argued to benefit them. A tiger needs lunch, a panda needs a nest.

The indianapolis was portrayed more terribly in jaws. He implaies the sharks killed most people. But the reality was far more complicated. I learned this from a documentary years ago. People started going crazy from the sunlight and lack of water. Hell one guy even explained his friends were so crazy they thought diving deep enough would have good fresh water, or even that the ship was just below and they could reach the fountain. Some people thought they saw a nearby island and swam off and were never seen again. Some died and were simply torn apart by sharks after their death. One guy mentioned he tried to wake up his friend and his started to flip over and his legs were already gone. Plus the life boats were not like we have now, instead it was a square ring of floating and then a box 'net' inside making you mostly submerged if you stood in it. Likely if anyone was attacked while alive, it was because the sharks began to get use to people dying and attacking dead people and may have attacked someone who'd been still for awhile. Alongside the fact some were injured and likely gave off blood. It took four days for the to even be seen by a scout plane. They were saved atleast a whole day later. They got close to a week at sea with nothing but maybe a few canned foods that they had to ration heavily. And that depended on the group. Most people died from exposure, dehydration and starvation. The sharks generally fed on those who already died.

[@caruusel]

it's heartbreaking how movies and false reports make sharks out to be these cold blooded killer machines that would slaughter 600 people just like that when they were probably just going for the dead bodies and got confused. I haven't heard that much about the indianapolis but people really tend to make it sound like it was a massacre as soon as these men were in the water as if the white tips had preyed on them even before the sinking.

[@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine]

@@caruusel That's just the things, sharks ARE cold blooded killing machines. They have no emotions and are litterally made for killing. They are monsters by most definitions, it's just that most people do their best to avoid them. True, they don't quite deserve their reputations but you should never forget that they're predators and are dangerous.

[@caruusel]

@@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine They are predators yes and most should be looked at from afar but that can be said about many animals that aren't as hated. Big cats for example or Hippos who kill way more people yet they don't get the same treatment. Especially smaller sharks are relatively docile and pose little danger to humans yet we demonize them every chance we get.

[@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine]

@@caruusel Hippos and big cats are also monsters as far as I'm concerned. Smaller sharks poses no threat and are not monsters.

[@caruusel]

@@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine I think we disagree on the definition of monster but that's fine to classify something as a monster in my opinion it would need malicious intent, like some humans or intelligent animals like dolphins, but I wouldn't necessarily call a predator a monster because they need to kill to survive

I remember the exact moment the ocean scared me away. I was in Turkey on a big boat, it docked off the shore of an island. The captain said to jump in the sea and swim around and go on the beach etc, have fun. So I jumped in, after a while, I decided to swim around the boat and then up the ladder. I was the only one to do this, everyone else was splashing in the shallows. Anyway, I got to the back of the boat, and with my Google's, put my head under the water and looked down, I just saw my legs dangling in a dark abyss. Whereas, at the front, it was quite deep, but you could see the rocks and star fish and small fish etc, but at the back, it went to just dark purple/blue beneath me. My heart stopped for a sec and I swam like an Olympic swimmer back to the front and flew up the ladder and never went back in lmao

[@Buster_Piles]

You should always protect your googles whilst swimming. Some fish will bite 'em if you're not careful.

[@datatrolls]

Not that I actually know anything from first-hand experience, but from what I have watched and read piranha got their reputation largely due to seasonal rains. When the rivers flood and a school get trapped in a pond cut off from the main river, they first eat anything in it. Then they get very, very hungry. From what I understand they aren't really a problem because the locals know not to mess with them under those kinds of circumstances. But they are a bit of a shock for tourists when that happens. Again, Never been to South America. But it seems plausible to me. Love your videos, and thank you for your efforts.

I was just watching 72 Most Dangerous Animals: Asia, and in regard to a survivor of two sloth bear encounters, one of the people they reviewed essentially stated "If I had been attacked twice by a sloth bear, I would either move to California or never leave my house." Yes, it was a joke, but it's a common sentiment that sort of trivializes the fact that most people in such areas don't have the option to relocate, and it does get my eyes rolling.

As keeping one of those would require a much larger tank, possibly more of a pond or pool than a glass tank. Cheers 👍🏻

People do illegal things all the time. Back in the early 1970's I knew a guy who had 5 red-belly piranha in his fish tank because he thought it was cool. He also had a sign over his apartment front door "the Swamp" from the Mash movie. I was friends with his roommate, Paul, so visited a lot. One day the fish were gone. He confessed that he got tired of feeding them so dumped them into Kennedy Lake. Shortly after fishermen in Kennedy reported seeing a school of piranha in Kennedy Lake. These were laughed at until one fisherman actually caught one and was on the front page of the Arizona Daily Star newspaper holding the fish in his hands. Game & Fish was called in who said not to worry as swimming in Kennedy was always illegal so no swimmers would be in danger and Kennedy Lake was so shallow (12') any warm-water fish would freeze over Winter. I guess they were right because no one ever reported another piranha in that lake. But there are reports of the piranha's vegetarian cousin in many Arizona lakes which are reported AS 'piranha'. Game & Fish refers these to being legally imported fish being dumped in local lakes when the owners get tired of them. I also heard of an 'alligator' in the lower Colorado River near Imperial Dam. It is unlikely as these are very rare and most reports sound like a copy of the first done by Robert when we were kayaking in the backwaters. He probably misreported a floating log. But back in the 1960's many drug-store pet shops would see red-eared terrapins (turtles) and 'baby alligators' (caiman). I owned both when I was a kid and people were known to dump them in local lakes when they got tired of them. I do see those red-ears all over Arizona lakes and rivers as I kayak but have never seen a caiman or alligator or crocodile.

Hello :) LOVE your channel!! Aussie here, we worry more about blue bottles (wash up friggin everywhere), blue ringed octopus and urukanji

[@hstjames5609]

Interesting, re salt water crocs: yes, they are terrifying, you don't mess with salties. The reason for the smaller percentage of bites is they live in a small part of our vast content that's not highly populated, and most people there (largely Indigenous population) are well aware of how to avoid them (i.e using different watering spots etc) :)

[@juliusbushiv2904]

Great video man

[@thechosenoneironshadowwolf]

I believe there was a bullshark that came up almost to Missouri and my friend said that a diver saw some kind of fish that was bigger than a school bus and I've seen fish heads big enough to fit a basket ball in its mouth on the side of spillways and or river and what about a gar

[@chris964861]

Great video, your channel will do well!

[@wildworld6264]

Thanks, I hope so!

Awww, the conger eel looks like a fish puppy!

[@oorzuis1419]

I heard that the most kill came from Kaapbufalow's (aka Waterbufalow, maybe) lol you tell a fair story in an entertaining way. :)

[@calebsmith2362]

You apparently didn't see the video of the hungry giant isopod eating that poor shark's face off while it thrashes around on camera. I believe it was featured on Shark Week around a decade or so ago. You can easily find the video on KZbin. It's not an easy watch. I know I'll never look at roly-polies the same way ever again.

[@NickMachado]

In regards to the barracuda attacks being a myth, I know a girl that was attacked by a barracuda that jumped out of the water and bite her arm. There are images and news stories about it online, it happened around 2010.

[@craigwandalowski]

My dad was a physician stationed on Guam during Vietnam, and he always mentioned people dying on the reg via Stonefish.

[@mitchellskene8176]

Given it's thought to be an inspiration for some for sea serpent sightings, I'm surprised you didn't mention the King Of Herrings Oarfish.

[@brixen0623]

I live near Philadelphia and one of the major aquariums around here has an isopod petting tank also. Just forget which one. It's been a few years.

[@Buster_Piles]

That's really useful information. 👍

[@victory8928]

I remember free diving once in Bali where I saw a sea snake. I was terrified out of my mind but well in hindsight I was very overdramatic as the snake tried to avoid the group and we never saw it up close just several meters away at most. I was honestly more afraid of needlefish which I encountered on a later dive and refused to swim near them they weren’t aggressive though probably cause they are used to humans and view the area as relatively safe.

[@thechosenoneironshadowwolf]

Restaurants are also serving lion fish as well

[@Lammington2]

I lived in Southern Africa growing up. I still have a strong respect & fear for crocs and hippos. I plan to visit South Africa again almost solely to see the great whites at Seal Island. I'd love to shark dive to see them in their space. You couldn't pay me to get into a river with a crocodile or hippo.

[@alexvermaak1759]

Make sure to be suspicious of who you go do it with, there are some shady companies who do a half job of it. The guys at waterfront who target tourists are notoriously bad.

[@AnUnknownPlayer.]

Hippo’s I 100% agree with you, they are hatred incarnate who like killing everything. *even though they don’t eat meat.* but Crocodiles, they on the other hand ain’t cold blooded killing machines. They definitely are dangerous and deserve the utmost respect. But i’ve matched many vids of dudes diving in croc infested waters. Course they’re professionals who handle crocodilians, so your average person prolly should stay clear of croc waters.

[@Lammington2]

@@AnUnknownPlayer. crocs are clever. They learned the timing of those of us living by the river - waited and grabbed a dog that the owners let out at the same time each day, and started waiting for a woman silly enough to waterski at the same time each day. They’re not cold-blooded murderers, but they’re predators rarely given credit for their intelligence and speed. Never underestimate them.

[@alexvermaak1759]

@@AnUnknownPlayer. no, crocodiles will 100% eat you. They see you as food, you are no different to them than anything else that might be messing around in the water. They are also literally cold blooded. Don't play around with crocodiles or tell anybody else to consider playing with crocodiles, they are one of the few living animals that have no qualms preying on humans.

Hold up, the sun fish can swim fast enough to jump out of the water?!

whered u get the clip of the otter at 19:28 ?

[@requiscatinpace7392]

I think stone fish spikes will go straight through water shoes. I’m wearing my steel plate soled jungle boots if I’m in their habitat 😳.

[@anonymousdratini]

Coelacanths only come out when it rains, but if you can catch one they’re worth about 1500 bells. So that’s pretty neat. I wonder how many bells a megalodon would be worth…

[@simonjiha3434]

Well I mean, if we didnt live near crocodiles and cross their paths, crocodile attacks wouldnt be very common. Maybe they would be as uncommon as shark attacks.

[@user-rw2dq3vp9t]

being killed by an otter would be an embarrassing way to meet your fate
