Just feet away from some of the country's most popular beaches, large numbers of teenage great white sharks show up to feed. Dave Malkoff [ davemalkoff.com ] explores why the sharks move back into the shark zone.
I've just started watchin on television u.tube there now and what your saying was 1st thing I laughed at Here don't brush teeth stupid bastard saying something so dumb as that lol
I watched a documentary on Great White sharks the other day and there was an area in South Africa, Seal Island, where Great Whites had been seen regularly for years. Then all of a sudden, there were no Great Whites seen there for quite a while. The reason for that baffled the experts for a while, but then one day they discovered why. 2 Orcas had moved into the area. That was amazing and showed who the real apex predator ofvthe ocean is.
I really be thought I was the only one that felt that way! After the slaughter that Jaws started, great whites have really declined and that would be bad for all, but it seems they might be coming back? G O O D! 😃
My husband and I have fishing charter out of Palm Beach FL. We are loaded with sharks. Our heavy shark zone is 75ft-250ft. Which for us is only 1 to 2 miles out. We don't allow our clients to get in the water at all in those depths. Funny how many want to. We pretty much say, give it a bit and you'll start seeing them. We see them everyday. We've seen a bull shark clear the water, doing a flip going for a small kite bait 10 ft from the boat. 😱
Fish have evolved to swim in water, humans have evolved to live on land. Let’s face it you don’t see sharks walking around on land right, so if you choose to go into the ocean you’re now at their mercy as well as anything else that lives in the ocean and decides it’s hungry and you look like a meal.
I get what you're saying, but you're wrong in a way. They aren't eating people because they are hungry. They are curious creatures. If they were hunting humans, more would die. It's usually gum bites, which is why people aren't bitten in half. Humans don't look like a meal. Please don't give in to the media lies
Long time ago before our modern settlement, the land used to be dominated by wild animals too.. now, we don't see them in our cities. Just to point that out.
...and the sea lions are their main prey. Also, how do they know that they "never" populated that area. Tagging sharks and using drones to find them are very new technologies...20 years ago, hardly anything was known about them.
That's *not* the explanation for the juveniles in Southern California! Juveniles *can't* eat seals and sealions yet until they reached at least a decade of age and 12+ feet. They eat fish and rays, especially batrays! Only adult GWS in Cali (and elsewhere) eat seals. Seals are fierce *and* big, able to reach 10 feet: there's a reason most mature GWS have multiple scars on their heads! Those seals are more agile in close quarters than GWS and they defend themselves with claws and teeth. You need size and experience to successfully hunt them.
@@Alex-vq9vj The explanation for juvenile white sharks in SoCal is that there are more big breeding white sharks than there have been in decades to the north and south of that area. It takes time for GWs to reach maturity, so the breeding population is now stabilizing due to conservation efforts of both sharks and pinnipeds, and they’re giving birth in SoCal as they always have. I suspect that even when populations were lower, there were still a fair number of juvenile white sharks in SoCal. We just didn’t know it because we didn’t have a bunch of people with drones with HD video cameras until very recently. I do agree that juvenile GWS typically stick to fish and don’t have the size and experience to hunt seals yet. Some of those scars are now believed to be from giant squid though.
@@bluemarlin8138 Yes, the Mexicans for instance have known that Baja California is a pupping ground for GWS for decades. Even though they couldn't say where exactly, it was clear to them that young GWS lived and grew up somewhere there.
I lived in Santa Barbara in 1982-1984 and the beach’s always had a lot of Seal activity. To the point of Seal pups are left on the beach while the female mother goes out to sea to feed. Nothing new those young male Great white sharks will eventually leave and go back to the open Oceans. ( when they are bigger ) so as too not end up being prey for larger fish then them.
I think they bail to the Channel Islands after a certain size, the islands are just loaded seals, there’s a video of a guys witnessing 2 seal attacks by 2 separate sharks in 30mins
@How Not To hahaha, that doesn’t fit their narrative/agenda that it is all because of “climate change”. They know damn well that great whites have been present in the California waters prior in any so called “climate change” Not sure what the fuck that even is since the planet’s climate has been changing since its existence.
@@stuckinperth the amount of carbon dioxide in the air was higher millions of years ago. CO2 is plant food. Like the previous commenter said, the climate of this planet has always changed and it's been warming since the Ice Age. Weather phenomena like El Nino and El Nina aren't man made, they're just natural weather patterns.
finally some good fucking shark documentaries that don't use sharks as some kind of nightmare fuel scare show I love their attitude to the sharks tbh, they're respecting the dang ecosystem and watching them without the whole 'aAAAh KILLeR sHArK' mindset
I love this documentary, it proves that there is no need to hook and drag the shark on board the boat to tag them. The so called researchers who endanger the shark to tag them do it just for the thrill of the hunt, just like all the other trophy hunters. Shame on them.
Tagging sharks is fine, but when they have to hook em, bring them on those boat things etc really stresses them out, tagging them with those long poles is the best way without hurting or stressing them out. White sharks and Orcas are my favorite animals in the Ocean!!!
They are Monochromats (Color blind) but can distinguish Grey,Blue,green hues and can see best underwater and in darkness. I think they can figure change in tints..
@@rakadoni8403 Was awhile since I wrote this,but I think that is what I meant,Seals and Sea Lion...You mean the shark being able to spot THEM ? I see...Apology..
@@aldenunion ohh no I maybe misunderstood you haha , I thought you were saying sharks have that sort of vision -- you were talking about seals eyesight - I understand haha 😊
"Locals have to deal with new neighbors!?". I say,..."The ocean is their home and we have the privilege of getting to see these magnificent animals in THEIR TERRITORY! "
Okay... But all they were saying was that since there never used to be sharks there, the local surfers have had to learn to watch out for sharks. So I'm not sure what you're on your soapbox about...
@@Rob-zt5hq Sharks absolutely do feed on humans, most shark attacks on humans are not to feed on us, merely to warn us off, but when they are hungry and we're the only thing around to eat, they eat. At least you didn't claim that shark attacks are mistakes, they are not, sharks know what we are, they know we are not seals or fish, so when they bite us, it is for a reason, usually to scare us out of their area, as they are very territorial.
This should be a way to save more lives maybe life guards could be trained to do this at all beaches thanks for doing what you do the world needs more guys like you God Bless and keep you safe!!!
There is a way to save more lives, kill more sharks, sharks are accident of nature, kill them they are not needed for anything the ocean will do fine without them
Get real Joyice.........it's their habitat, NOT OURS. We've done enough to rape this world. Let them have theirs. Idiots I swear. You want lives saved. STAY OUT OF THE OCEAN.
Everybody wants to blown global warming but the expert said all of the protection efforts brought back the food and because the food is back the sharks are back.
When they’re talking about the global warming/climate change, they’re talking about the heat bowl of warm water which is not affected by the fish or sharks population returning to a healthy number, but the warm water attracts sharks to the waters.
It's interesting that even in the same breaths scientists talk about how adaptable sharks are when it comes to selecting prey, they stick with the PR statements that attacks on humans are not because we're food. You don't know what is in a shark's mind! One bite and done is clearly not about predation, we're told, for example. Only we also know that a massive bite and moving back until prey exsanguinates is in bounds for their natural predation techniques, too. They certainly can smell the difference between creatures, so they're not confusing us with those other prey animals in mistaken identity all the time, either. I don't think we're top of the food list for them, no, but when a couple of pounds of flesh can be a meal, why wouldn't you snack on the occasional human?!? If you're in the water; you're potential food. That doesn't mean I think we should go back to culling or whatever; I just think we have to admit the dangers and deal with them honestly--especially since shark tourism is a threat that is readily increasing human/shark interactions and already driving bad adaptations!
As an Aussie, you can still hear how much Americans dramatise the legend of 'jaws' it really bugs me! I swim around great white infested waters all the time & they never bother me because I am not seen as competition!
This is not hard to figure out. Seals and Sea lions were hunted to near extinction off California. With the the loss of major food supply the sharks left or died. Eventually sea lions and sea otters become protected and populations have boomed. Sharks were still heavily hunted but have now been a protected species for quite some time. There numbers have rebounded with these factors. Furthermore, What does a surfer or diver in a wetsuit look like to a shark?
Agree, except that a white shark is too finely tuned of a predator to think a surfer or diver looks like a seal except in constant heavy surf or very murky water. In some attacks, the shark knows you’re not a seal and is just rolling the dice even though he doesn’t know you’re a human. If a white shark hits a person hard and then backs off and circles, it’s not saying “ugh, that tastes bad!” It’s backing off to let them bleed out like it does with seals. Humans just usually have other people there to rescue them and are smart enough to get out of the water, so most people don’t die. Of course, a lot of white shark attacks aren’t predatory, but let’s not pretend the few that are predatory are just mistaken identity or test bites.
No. It's most likely about food or a possible rest stop between places they travel to. White sharks swim off the coasts of Mexico and islands like Guadalupe all the time and those are very warm waters compared to northern California or south Africa.
@@kristinessTX if a shark was to bite you it would either be out of curiosity because the only thing they have that can investigate their world with for feeling is their gums which is where their theeth are or because of their territory with someone coming into their space and not respectin'.
The great white Shark are the most beautiful Animal in the Oceans!🦈🤍 I love the Whitepointer ❤🦈 Good to see that so many young Sharks at the California Coast live!👍🇺🇲🤠
Advising surfers to break up the time they spend in the water waiting for sets seems like it might also be a good idea. Based on reports most attacks on surfers the surfers have been in the water for about an hour & a half. Taking a break by getting out every 45 minutes might be a safer way to surf.
@@bryanwithat6763 If a surfer is triggering a shark to bite them or go after them by going back & forth, back & forth, it's possible surfers seem like competition for food to a shatk, occasionally getting in a shatk's way that could be why so often a shark will do a board hit from underneath or from the side, then just leave, not lingering nearby to attack again; as they'll do with seals, for example.This kind of attack happens alot with surfers.... so it stands to reason that breaks might be wise just to lessen a person's odds of that kind of attack. Until they prove this, I'd still take the breaks but that's me. It's so incredibly rare that who knows if there's nything man can do to really avoid attacks but in the hundreds of surfboard attacks this is how it happens & it seemskind of like the way big sharks will run off another shark if they fail to yield to them.
I hate the attitude of how dare sharks come here or that they shouldn't be there, ultimately humans are at fault for drastically changing their environment and ecosystem from global warming, commercial fishing etc etc. The water is their world has been for millions and millions of years they are a predator evolved to be at the top of their game, we need to respect them and respect the oceans. We are ultimately more dangerous to sharks then they are to us. The same is true with the rest of the worlds animals as well.
I think it's rather when humans overfish the fish and sharks have to look elsewhere for food, it is not possible to take food from them indefinitely and then expect that there is enough food for the largest animals in the sea they are probably looking for something else when there is little food in the place they were and when deep-sea fish such as sharks have come to the surface or to the shores, I think it is due to lack of food. Senda
Dolphins and sharks have a love hate relationship, however it’s not uncommon for them to work together to hunt and prey on a bowl of fish. So usually when you see a pod of dolphins, they’re will be a shark trailing behind them. And dolphins are known to attack not just fish/sharks. If they feel threatened by you, they will attack you- usually to protect their young.
I bet the sharks are there for the warm currents they can rest while water flows through the gills and they are sun bathing darkening the top part of thier body to blend in better from above.
what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It’s really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that’s all.
I was really annoyed with some of the narration of this documentary. Why does it matter if the Sharks are off the shore of 'multimillion dollar homes' which continued to be noted throughout this program?! Sharks don't know geographic or financial demographics which you seem so interested in sharing....who cares! Please just focus on the important facts related to he sharks, climate, and ocean etc. For those that don't like my comment or think I wrote it because I'm financially jealous...lol All I can say is I've lived on the Chesapeake Bay for years and love it. We do have some sharks that venture up here but mostly bull sharks are noted. But you just never know. After I saw a clip of a great white in a salt pond in Mass. Its quite possible we have them here, the trench is quite deep here.
Is there a correlation between Orca attacks, and the Sharks leaving the attack area, and then them showing up in areas where they usually are less likely to be? Just wondering.
Maybe they “tag” us when we enter into the shark zone? To understand us better, in the same way we want to understand them. In a shark - type way of course.
Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side it was comin' back from the island of Tinian, just delivered the bomb. 1100 men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger, 13 footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know...was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light the sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups and the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland, baseball player. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. He'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day a Lockheed Ventura saw us and come in low and 3 hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, 1100 went in the water, 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway....we delivered the bomb.
Very well told by Robert Shaw!!! But when you gonna sit in the middle of a Grizzly Zone... They gonna maul you out!!! A pex Predator like the great white or Tiger and Bull Sharks!
@@deborahnieling2315 Inchon, Korea 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was three weeks past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right spices, cooked it long enough...I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men to the latrines that night. They were just boys. Bobby Colby all that kid wanted to do was go home. Well he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home! Anyway....we delivered the bomb and I'll never touch a spatula again!!
Climate change has been going on for millions and millions of years. There's no excuse to be blaming climate change or as some people want to call it the mislabeled global warming, for any kind of changes of wildlife or ecosystems.
13 minutes and 12 seconds into the video is a white that swims toward a camera. It has what look likes growths, tumours or polyps on its top lip/jaw. There were teeth visible on the bottom jaw but none on top, unless they WERE tumours and they were hiding the teeth behind them. Any ideas?
I love how how 'they' say "abnormal behavior" or unusual weather patterns or "major change" when they don't know shiite. Compared to what? How long have you been studying shark behavior? How do you know this isn't typical behavior based on a long(er) cycle that you weren't previously aware? Just be patient and actually STUDY and LEARN before you go off half-brained, Kemo Sabe.
Attacks on humans are due to confusion. And lots of other factors. They don’t see us as food. Usually young/juvenile sharks are ones to attack, or you are in the same path as their food and they can’t turn in a snap, especially when they’re swimming fast.
Absolutely wrong, please look at The Malibu Artist drone footage and you see they have been swimming beside people and surfers for years without as you say "eating what's in front of them" they swim right up to kids and check them out, but never touch them.
It's just in America, where the average citizen is the shape of a seal, just with less mobility in the water. Easy lunch, C'mon everyone likes an easy lunch!
Only crazy people question what they are told and think for themselves! The Great White doesn't have hands so it tried to tickle us with it's mouth and injured us unintentionally
Yes very exciting to have great Wight sharks swimming under ur feets ,U know what's more exciting ,dude just got eating around the corner from a very purple please in Australia (little bay)
maybe the line in Jaws about sharks not understanding what they had been missing with human prey. Now they do. The sharks especailly the larger sharks, I believe they are hunting humans. Good source of brain. Debo
I live there...thats at Santa Claus Lane Beach in Carpinteria (which wasn't mentioned). Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher bought a house on that beach. It's scary to find out just how many sharks are actually out there in the same area where I go into the water. Now I'm reluctant to go in the water at that beach 😕
