Fun fact about the cookie cutter shark: They, during the Cold War, helped maintain the high tension between the US and USSR by attacking their submarines as they mistook them for whales, resulting in both nations thinking their adversary had found a way to sabotage their vehicles deep underwater. Thus meaning there is a timeline where we nuked ourselves due to those little whimsical rascals.

I could easily take a shark in a fight; it would swim at me, I would dive and hold against its nose so it cannot bite me whilst I gouge its eyes out.

Also worth noting that cookie-cutter shark's bottom teeth are the biggest in comparison to their body size of any shark. They also just swallow their teeth when they're about to shed them. And they almost caused an international incident between the US and Russia during the Cold War. Cookie-cutter sharks were taking chunks out of the rubber sonar cones of nuclear submarines, but the US and Russia didn't know that at first and both sides thought the other was up to some kind of sabotage.

Personally, I think the most intuitive way to understand how wings/fins work is as something that deflects the fluid it passes through down. A plane goes up because it pushes air down. A fish goes up for the same reason with water. The tricky part is that part of how wings often do this is that they also cause the fluid that passes over them to deflect downwards, due to things like boundary layer effects. This can all be modeled in pressure but pressure is generally a lot less intuitive for people.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

And race cars go down because the wings push them down. Just that they are usually called spoiler in that context.

Love your content Ze Frank. Never change your quirky ways! I watch them all, don't skip ads or sponsorships, etc. The shorts are great and the longer content, old and new, is fantastic. I love creepy Dave, Crappy Barbara, the mudskippers, the tardigrades, the byerds, and most of all, Jerry. A-bulba, a-buckety bulba to all.

The part with the rostrum with the saw fish is so freaking funny. I kept rewatching it and cackling each time, “EN GARDE, WHA WHA WHA WHA” absolutely hilarious

[@TimKapow]

In a 15 minute video ZeFrank has given us more info than the last 13years of Shark week 😮

I've been waiting for the Sharks episode for years and in true Ze Frank fashion, it did not disappoint. Another fantastic and informative episode.

[@danielkover7157]

Now that song's stuck in my head. Thanks, Jerry.

OMG THANK YOU ZEFRANK for explaining the lift effect properly! I can't take anymore this "the water / the air on this side is faster than..." and scientists know it's wrong for a long time now.

[@ConstantChaos1]

In air it also relies on creating a pressure difference, this doesn't apply in water, which is essentially in-compressible

[@absolutechaos13]

​@constantchaos4433 ...??? Yes, water is incompressable, but you can also create pressure differentials in water. This is how pumps, props, and faucets work.

Every time you release a video, the happiness I feel for you having returned to content-making is reawakened!

[@pinkcupcake4717]

Sharks and rays are wonderful creatures, with lots of wild variations. Whale sharks are top tier for me, very chill giants with polka dots.

[@PaintedDog]

Ze Frank needs to make a play list of all their songs. Id buy it. They're all really catchy

[@JoseKilen]

Having Brilliant as the sponsor on a shark video seems so perfect to me, because in Danish 'being a shark at something' means to be really good at something. example "Jerry er en haj til klipning" = Jerry is a shark at editing

[@Atlantisforum]

I am so glad that my favorite animal received such a great video. Hilarity AND education throughout. Nicely done again Ze!

I just came across your channel again. Still as great as ever! I remember coming across your channel 10 years ago at the start of the True Facts animal videos.

[@RealNaisuCinema]

I’d love to see you talk about orcas if you haven’t already

[@JubioHDX]

ive heard there was once a true facts dolphins video that was either removed by ze or taken down by youtube, not sure which but some people have mentioned remembering it. never seen it myself though so idk if orcas were included in it or not (since they are also a type of dolphin)

[@peppermillers8361]

​@@JubioHDXI don't remember a Dolphins video.

[@SuziQ.]

A dolphin video would be 10-15 minutes of dolphin porn. They surf, eat, and f*ck, not in that order. Ask anyone who works in sonar on a ship.

[@SophiaAstatine]

​@@JubioHDXI don't recall there ever being one, but if there were, it may be because some of the earlier true facts were more fun than facts, so maybe it's because of how he evolved the format?

I know a shark personally, his name is Shevchenko and lives in Marneck Bay. He chases fish into the bay, we catch then in our nets and give Shevchenko a share of the catch.

I’ve met a kid once that jumped into the pool and immediately peed in it like it’s her designated toilet or something, she was like 12-14 too. This is why I can never swim with too many strangers around especially kids and teenagers

Why do people insist on putting apostrophes where they don't belong? It's "outros." 😛 Also, you don't have to ask permission before talking about something. Just say "Let's/I'm going to talk about how Frank's outros are always original bangers."

[@noelhutchins7366]

The Amazon river has too many species of catfish, including two species of Candiru, the small one was bad enough but the bigger-one framed piranha; after finding out piranha don't really attack healthy calm individuals, remember, something still exists that makes water appear to boil while exposing the skeleton of large prey in seconds, that really happens: I hope you can make an episode of those.
