I'm Michael, owner of the See Through Canoe Company, producer of the first clear kayak. See Through Canoe was established in 2007. We started by producing clear kayaks but have since expanded into producing clear paddleboards and clear boats. This channel is all about wildlife though not just clear boats. Getting outside, exploring, and having awesome wildlife encounters is what feeds my soul & I enjoy sharing the places I go, & the wildlife encounters I have with others. I like to inspire others to get out and appreciate nature and these videos, as well as the clear boats, are a great way to do that. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy some of my videos and come back for more.
I've seen this all the time in Long Beach Island (Lbi), NJ. The rays swim either by themselves or in pairs, and they don't mind swimming close to people.
I would instinctually be scared too, since we're always taught to be watchful for sharks... I like 0:39 where you can see the relief of the person on the left when they realize it's a manatee
"Actually" being on the verge of being endangered is NOT the same as being endangered. So why start your comment with the word "actually" as if you are correcting an incorrect statement?
For all those people posting comments without reading the video description, and all those people commenting that the manatee was trying to protect a calf or something.... Here's the video description again so that you might say something intelligent or something that actually contributes to a discussion instead of saying something stupid or redundant because you didn't read the video title or description before commenting.... Description = When this aggregation of Manatees showed up at the beach a couple days ago they drew a crowd. Most of the people were respectful and kept their distance but a few people were touching and chasing the Manatees around. The guy that almost got run over was one of the people that was being respectful and just standing back and watching. It's a shame it happened to him and not one of the people touching or chasing them. The Manatees were mating and a bull (male manatee) chased a young cow (female manatee) straight towards one of the people standing around them. The Manatee was NOT being aggressive, singling the guy out, or protecting a calf. For those that don't know, it's illegal to touch, feed, chase or otherwise harass Manatees. Even if they come up to you, you're supposed to always keep your hands to yourself.
Pretty sure they’re in a mating ball. (This consists of many male manatees trying to mate with one female who’s usually trying to get away.) They’ll smack that tail down on the water - HARD. Dude’s lucky he didn’t get wacked by one of
@@SeeThroughCanoe sure ..higher temperatures will lead to more rapid growth in the algae but the nutrient will be there all year round, it must have a lot of fresh water input and shallow sheltered topography ..hi from Australia
What eats a 6' tarpon? A 15' shark. Those of you in the water, they can be right off the beach. Farewell and adieu my fair spanish ladies, I think I will never see you again. Quint, Jaws.
I have never heard of devil rays! Except for slang referring to Manta rays. They are not that small more likely they are eagle rays, they travel in school's in the shallows
Let me get this straight... because YOU have never heard of Devil Rays, you are telling me that I'm wrong, and that they are eagle rays? Do I have that right? Did you consider taking a moment to do a little research on google or something before telling me I'm wrong? If not, you should have. I've been researching and documenting marine animals for decades. I have some idea of what I'm talking about. When I said "Devil Rays Swimming Past People at the Beach", that's exactly what the video shows.
@@SeeThroughCanoe yep! Sent my whole life in the ocean. Been diving sense I was seven. Served in the Navy diving . After I was a commercial diver Dove with probably 40 different spices if Ray's. Hell I have even dove with an electric Ray. I have even dove with Full grown Manta Ray's. Got pictures of them when they roll their mouth flukes up tight and stick them straight out in front like Horns! Hens the nick name devil Ray. So yep!!!!!
@@nunabiz That's all fantastic. You must have dived all over about half of the world to encounter 40 different species of rays, and I think that's really cool. I would expect a navy man with lots of experience with diving and rays to know better than to make the assumption that I was wrong instead of double checking themselves to be sure first. I like to call animals by their proper names instead of nick names, that way there is less room for confusion which is part of the reason we give animals names. So when I titled the video "devil rays swimming by people...." I meant "devil rays", not Manta Rays or anything else people sometimes mistakenly call devil rays. Manta Rays are not devil rays, devil rays are devil rays. This is the kind of confusion nick names cause.
The video was taken with a drone, I doubt you want to hear drone propellers. Also, it's a school of fish swimming in a circle, they aren't making any SOUND.
