@Cashwisdom94 11 месяцев назад

I wanna do this so badly. But the truth is what’s stopped me is the fear of the ocean itself, the fact that so many things can go wrong in such an uncontrolled environment. But I also wanna let nurse sharks and tiger sharks, and lemon sharks, and Caribbean reef sharks, and blue sharks, and thresher sharks, and basking sharks. Soooo I have a dilemma here, either I forget doing it or I conquer my fear of deep water.

@uwcb1 Год назад

I was dive program coordinator at an aquarium so was in all the big exhibits weekly, sometimes several times a day. In the Caribbean exhibit I started scratching the rays backs and they absolutely loved it! They’d settle on the acrylic tunnel to get their turn, with some of them coming back a few times. Two would follow me around the exhibit hoping for more attention.

Sharks have skin that has the texture of rough sandpaper. Compared to that the glove probably feels pretty smooth and soft.

@BoostedSpeedDemon Год назад

Yes, nurse sharks are known as one of the more docile species of sharks, although they have bitten people, and they can get excited during a feeding frenzy like any other species of shark. However, since they are commonly found in warm tropical, shallow waters, which are the same kind of waters that people frequent, they interact more with humans than other sharks. And in certain areas, you can actually walk amongst hundreds of nurse sharks, who have become accustomed to humans. But do not let it fool you. It is still very dangerous.

I've seen some amazing shark video's lately but this just tops the lot. These creatures are obviously highly intelligent and have advanced sense of emotion in that they respond to affection in much the same way a dog might do. We have got sharks so wrong, we have demonised them for so long but in actual fact they just want some love.

Even though I have seen a video on a different channel of this relationship between the diver and Relentless, it is heartwarming to see it again on this channel. Thank you for uploading and sharing.

@gyppygirl2021 3 месяца назад

The biggest issue with sharks is that due to only having fins, they can't really investigate things in ways other than nibbling them, and because they're predators, those nibbles can end up being fatal to humans. A lot of the time, "shark attacks" are accidental.
