Or “Shark studies have even found that touching a shark’s snout can cause it to halt mid-motion and not attack. The reason could be the tiny electrical receptors called ampullae of Lorenzini that speckle the area around sharks’ noses and mouths.” So maybe the shark just finds it pleasurable and recognizes the man as somebody who will do that.

We're social animals. It's deeply rooted into our DNA to establish groups and form hierarchies in order to increase our chances of survival. If an animal can be social with us instead of a threat, we'll let it join the group. It could be a dog, a shark, a vodka-drinking bear, a tiger, a chicken, whatever.

I don't know where this perception of sharks eating humans comes from. They have to gauge everything with their mouths and like the person said in the video it's always a case of mistaken identity. But one fact everyone just seems to gloss over every time is that humans kill around 100 million sharks a year... Yeah, so I wouldn't even care if they did try to eat every human they saw or smelled which they don't do.

Sharks don't have hands like us, so they have to use their mouths. Them biting things they see is basically they're equivalent of us trying to make out something we don't know or can't see by touching it. The only problem is they forget that not everyone has the skin to withstand their bite force.

It's people that are killing machines. No one else. All other species are an angel in comparison with us. What change?! The shark didn't change. They've always been peaceful!

Here's a little secret: When a predatory animal closes its eyes, it's a sign of trust and submissiveness. Emma closes her eyes around her friend not because she's afraid of getting poked in the eye, but because she trusts him. If you have cats like me, you start to notice these commonalities between species and their body language.

Humans do the same in the form of nodding and looking away. We establish familiarity with eye contact, but once you're best buds with someone or trust them, the conversation doesn't stay face to face.

"If you have cats like me..." Are you a cat? Jk. That's fascinating about closing the eyes as a sign of trust and comfort, essentially. My cats do it all the time, but I've never attributed it to that. Makes perfect sense. Awesome, thanks.

I remember hearing that sharks have an amazing sense of smell, so it's probably that she recognizes his scent. Unfortunately sharks have gotten a bad rap so up until now people haven't really tried to get close enough to know them. But as with any wild animal, it's all about trust on both sides. Emma is personal with him because she knows she can let her guard down and trust him not to hurt her.

@jackl4614 9 месяцев назад

Sharks also have a sixth sense, electrical receptors in their nose. It allows them to pick up on the small electrical signals that an animal’s body gives off. In our case that could be something like when the muscles around our hearts contract to pump blood. My guess is these electrical signals could vary slightly between individuals and that plays a big role in how she’s able to identify people without visual differences.

@vin7529 3 года назад

well it's true, sharks have poor eyesight (they have an excellent nose instead they can smell blood from miles away) so if they see someone splashing around they think it's a fish and attack then after the bite they're like "yuck it's a human I'm out peace". They don't normally attack humans unless the human in question does something to attract the shark or do something stupid to enrage the shark. That's why when it's clear water like where this guy is they can differentiate humans and don't bother with attacking humans. BUT that doesn't mean it's safe in clear water :P IF a shark has never seen a human of course it's going to come to take a bite and see what this thing is.

Yeah, I wish he'd finished his train of thought about how sharks only attack humans due to mistaken identity. Sharks only attack humans because we look just like sealions (their normal source of food) when they're looking up at us from down below! There's also many species of sharks that are totally harmless to humans. I was about to say "small species of sharks", but I know of at least one species, called the Cookiecutter Shark, that's fairly small but can take a horrifyingly gruesome bite out of you (in a round cookie shape) that's very hard to 'fix' in the hospital... 😱
