Your Guide to Sharks (media presentation, misconceptions & protecting them)

[@zattifiedax]

I have never thought that there would come a day that I am being educated by Ruby on sharks :')

[@chloemoriarty6947]

*This was so interesting! I knew sharks were portrayed incorrectly, but I wasn’t aware of the scale at which they are hunted and threatened by human activity! More videos like this please.*

[@lusimmerlife]

I remember a documentary I once watched about this. It showed how a shark that had had it’s fins cut, was still alive when the fisherman threw it back into the water. The shark moved, it was it’s instinct to try to swim but it obviously couldn’t, so it sunk, still breathing, moving and bleeding. It’s an image that I can’t erase from my mind, it still haunts me whenever I think about it and it’s the reason why I stopped feeling scared of them.

[@TheHollyChronicle]

I remember ruby talking about how she supported a shark charity in one of her really really old videos!

[@RubyGranger8]

You have a very good memory! 🙈

[@megan-xs8yh]

When you told us how many sharks had been killed in the time we had been watching the video my stomach dropped :(

[@ameliapc3943]

yes! I always correct people when they say sharks are dangerous and kill lots of people. I really loved your video!!

[@thekid4779]

So you would swim with an enormous Great White?

[@ameliapc3943]

@@thekid4779 if I could scuba dive and was with an instructor I would definitely consider it

[@agnes8477]

I have always loved sharks. They are my favourite animals and I've always tried to explain to others that they are just misunderstood and just confused or scared

[@thatonecharlie]

Sharks are actually the most interesting creatures and so misunderstood! Great video :))

[@RubyGranger8]

I completely agree with you! It's so so sad :(x

[@freya3380]

I learnt a lot from this video. My parents have always told me that I shouldn’t be too afraid of sharks, because they’re not as bad as movies portray them. But this taught me a lot more about it. I had no idea how endangered sharks were and I’m so glad that you taught me more about it!

[@funwithpaarth1000]

thanks for changing my perspective of sharks

[@ivydikkenson9177]

So-so interesting! It’s astonishing just how much damage a single film can do.. This is why we need to educate ourselves and strive to become more mindful of what we put out into the world. Thank you for the video Ruby!

[@lyndoncmp5751]

It was thanks to Jaws that we now know so much more. Jaws inspired lots of today's shark biologists who wanted to be Matt Hooper, not Quint. There was a great documentary about this with interviews of a number of them.

[@danielbautista7]

Ruby: Don’t be afraid of sharks Also Ruby: It can actually detect a heartbeat that is 328 ft away On a serious note I actually love sharks and the megalodon was a big fascination of mine at a young age. Great video as always :)

[@anashwara7000]

I m soooo sad to hear about this 😔😔😔😔 i am so thankful to ruby for bringing this up... hopefully this reaches to more and more people and they are aware of this

[@nourin_siddique]

Videos like this make me curious about random everyday stuff which I wouldn't have. So thank you ❤️💜 And yes we really need to risk literate

[@argellazinala3872]

Sharks have been my favorite animal and I’m obsessed since I was 3, not an exaggeration!

[@caoimhejane]

i actually love sharks and the ocean. just saw Ruby film this on the pumpkin productivity insta was curious. the ocean needs to be protected more

[@georgia9092]

Yay! Sharks interest me so much and they really need to be protected! When I was younger, me and my brother used to do ice-lolly sales and cake sales to raise money for sharks and I used to draw posters to put around my school...I used to get so angry if people said they were dangerous 😂 thanks so much for this video, hopefully it will help for some people to understand sharks and why they need to be protected :)

[@sharks2571]

YESSSS! It is kinda my dream to be a shark biologist (although it is a very competitive field) so this is amazing! I am constantly telling everyone about sharks and how amazing they are! I would really reccomend the short document the shark net film on KZbin about one of the threats to sharks

[@Realisticallyliteral]

My only real knowledge of sharks was: -Animated children's films -Vaguely aware of Jaws -Saw a picture of a shark attack but the same article explained that they just think surfers are seals -Vague memory of a children's science program that explained sharks were nice. So, thank you, I am now going to go sign a petition or something.

[@emmahardey7132]

Thank so much for the video dear Ruby .👏🙏 I learned so many things about sharks and the extinction facts and the way they catch the shark . and that they bleed to death stuffs were so sad.... As we can see some human beings are real antagonists not the sharks.

[@monicology]

I came across this platform from following Vee, Ali, Viola, Ruby, and Eve. You guys inspired me to apply to postgraduate schools in the UK, and hey it worked out, so I'll be coming to the UK soon! Moreover, you've also all inspired me to share my own academic journey - thanks for all you do! I love this idea in making education accessible to all! -M

[@elagranger5132]

Thank you Ruby for this informative video 👍🏼 can you make a video where you talk about other animals 🦈🦈🦈🐆🐅🐊🦓🦍🦧You can learn so much

[@issie.and.her.quills]

I’m so glad someone else loves sharks! I’ve tried telling so many of my friends and families about the nature of sharks and how you can read their body behaviour but none of them believe me

[@ninaandianfan21]

Very interesting video Ruby! Thanks for that :D I basically knew nothing about it before :D But I agree that the media largely impacts these kinds of thoughts and fears... I always think of the movie Bait 3D which is basically the same thing. It's a horror movie where a great white sharks gets stranded in a flooded supermarket after a tsunami and it eats the stuck humans one after another until of course the main character eventually kill the shark and escape... I don't know with fish it was always kind of the same for me as with insects... meaning: don't come near me and we are both fine xDDD I don't like fish in general tbh xD I don't eat them, I don't like seeing or touching them xD

[@Misseggy24]

Being Australian, going to the beach is such a huge part of our lifestyle, that we sort of just learn growing up to accept the risk of shark attacks, especially if you’re a surfer. We unfortunately do have quite a high rate of fatal shark attacks compared to the rest of the world, our last death was just a few weeks ago, but I’d say that most people still have a pretty positive opinion of sharks, and generally don’t support culling. We recognise that if we’re going into their territory, we’re the ones taking that risk.

[@beatrizbrasil3829]

Thanks for the informative video, Ruby! It was really interesting to know a bit more about sharks :)

[@spiderbakeryx]

This is the video I needed I have always had the hugest fear of what I thought was Sharks BUT it was just the unknown of the sea that scares me. I am actually really fascinated by Sharks and this has reassured me that humans are to be afraid of and there isn't anything to be afraid of in regards to Sharkies

[@blueisanidiot4358]

That was such a great video Ruby!!! I did not know half of the facts you told us!! I am so grateful for it!

[@avadavies240]

WOW. I absolutely loved this. Great video, very interesting topic. My sister used to be obsessed with sharks: now I can see why. Thanks!

[@luzie1354]

Awesome video! I also love sharks, I just think they’re very majestic creatures. I got much information about sharks from Ocean Ramsey. She also has a movie “Saving Jaws”, it’s great! So for more information, especially on shark behaviour, I can recommend her.

[@_C____]

This video is great! Its very clear and entertaining, Im really enjoying it and ive never been informed about sharks! Congrats Ruby!

[@ヘシャムマリアム]

Ruby this is just so so amusing! I loved this topic about sharks so much! It's so so interesting💗 there are lots of this i actually noticed that i didn't know about sharks! Thank you very much! 😊

[@elagranger5132]

I remember Ruby that you made a video that you supported a shark charity 😃🦈

[@redmapelleaf]

This is far away from what I expected from you, but I loved it! Thank you Ruby!

[@ayishapatel91]

Sharks have been my favourite animals since I was 9. I found this so interesting.

[@gigipo_]

I learned a lot of things I didn’t know from this video! Thank you so much Ruby💕

[@vildekongtorp5569]

this was such an interesting video! loved it

[@syd9083]

This was really cool to learn about :)

[@agnes8477]

Just a little bit of criticism, some sharks can stop swimming eg. The nurse shark and there are many that lay at the bottom of the sea bed. Some species have to keep swimming to breath though eg.the great white shark because that is how they keep the oxygen moving into their gills. Just something I thought you might like to know😊

[@rondoflicflac]

What a video Ruby!!

[@chanelmaccoll7542]

my favourite animals too!

[@ZoyaKhan-wu2ph]

Jaws was my favourite video when I was drumroll please 4! I know weird right!

[@lyndoncmp5751]

I saw Jaws at age 5. I'm 50 now and its still my favourite movie.

[@bethanyallen8015]

I'm actually reading the book of Jaws at the moment. Highly recommend it! :)

[@lyndoncmp5751]

The film is far superior.

[@tonmoytahsan654]

How do you stay focused and concentrated during long hour study session?

[@honestbroker7388]

Does Ruby know what happened to the some of the crew of the USS Indianapolis in 1945?

[@olivelene8315]

This was soo good Ruby! I never knew sharks were so interesting! Thank you 💕🏳️‍🌈🦋

[@JA-jx9uk]

Ruby in your next video (on her or your own channel) could you link how we can help save sharks like petitions and donation pages and stuff? I think a lot of people would do it

[@roslyndougan8046]

Love this Ruby :)))))

[@laurenslibrary7601]

Here in Australia they often justify the murder of sharks after a shark attack. We are entering their home and expect to be welcome but get angry when they defend themselves. It makes me so mad. There are plenty of beaches, go to a different one instead of committing murder just so can go surfing.

[@jessicabee9299]

great video!

[@NA-mi8nd]

Don’t know how to feel about this with my shark fobia

[@rennyagrawal658]

WOW........I have never been so early in life.....

[@rajanyasengupta2544]

Love you ruby

[@jueedhar5449]

This was so interesting !!!

[@maro_611]

That video was suuuper interesting !!!!!!!!

[@zoetham5475]

Love it

[@kyleehusted8613]

5:50 google says there's 30-50 dog fatalities in the us per year

[@JA-jx9uk]

I had no idea so many were still being killed !

[@cryptid4389]

And just like that, I want to save every single shark on the planet!

[@yuanwu1493]

I am so sorry that some groups of Chinese people eat shark fin soup. I feel ashamed. (No one around me eat something like this)

[@滕毅-f1n]

I have to confess that in China many choose to have shark fin soup (which is indeed exorbitant), but be that as it may, taking a step back, I think given that all species should have the equal status, why people who eat other animals and plants are not condemned( just because those species are endangered doesn’t mean that they can be slaughtered with lower guilt, right?) but only people who have shark fin soup are? ( how can it not be a special form of discrimination..)

[@amy-bk9gi]

It's sad how people make a hobby out of killing such wonderful animals

[@awarepenguin3376]

If Ruby likes sharks then shoot so do I. 🦈life

[@sadcapyyoutube]

Sharks are.........fish right?

[@thestudytubeproject5210]

indeed indeed!

[@elagranger5132]

Yes

[@goncaloferreirajorge]

First!
