Discovery is a white wash of misinformation and half ass truths. They have never been any different, your just older and wiser and can see through the bullshit.
Poetic Dreamer classic shark week used to be factual and educational, now it's hunt for some stupid mega shark that doesn't exist and overly dramatised dive scenes where they use bait to get the sharks to act aggressive but edit the film so you can't see the bait and it looks like the sharks are going for the cage. I've been cage diving with whites and they mostly avoid the cage, never attacked it.
In tiny dingies, no less. That's like saying "we have no means to protect ourselves from the bees" just before running naked through an apiary smothered in honey.
Yep! Why would anyone be dumb enough to enter the water where supposedly a giant 35' shark hunts and not use a boat at least twice the length and size?
When did the line between documentary and horror film become so blurred? Sharks don't just kill and eat whatever they see in the water. They were circling around the cage to check him out not necessarily eat him. The narration would lead you to believe the camera man was instant prey but that wasn't the case at all.
What you fail to realize is the moment you’re in the water with one you are instantly potential prey lol they’re fuckin apex predators. Yeah they don’t actively hunt humans but if you’re in the water they’re gonna be curious...curious if they can eat you.
Also- they chum the shit out of that water. They edit it like sharks just start coming out of nowhere and accosting them. They’re out there for hours, sometimes days, chumming the water and baiting sharks.
If they knew anything about Maori legend they’d know that he ( mango taniwha) protected our wakas (boats) to cross the sea from Hawaii to New Zealand (aotearoa) this is so disappointing that people of my country think this of beautiful creatures 😭
@@Mygolly915 we actually do tbh sharks are sick and we seem to hang onto outdated ideas about them just because those ideas are hEaVy MeTaL and hArDcOrE. noone has the same attitude to whales that they used to in the 19th century, it should be the same with our attitude to sharks. these 'documentaries' are real disappointing. any of these so called documentaries on sharks and dinosaurs seem to depict them as monsters and mindless killers, discovery and all that lot gotta step their game up and do their job of education. also i like facts about Maori legends! wys blud come on
They're curiously give the cage a shake. They're curiously giving the men a taste nibble. They're curiously giving the divers a view of the inside of their stomachs. Lol don't sympathize with a shark my dude or you'll end up as food.
Oh yes let's go pet the sweet sharkie just like going to pet a wild lion or wild crocodile. Come on people get realistic. White Sharks are dangerous. Now having said that do I believe that they should be hunted to extinction? No of course not! Just like I don't condone people doing that to lions. But people do need to be aware that they are dangerous predators and that's the chance you take when you enter the water. Don't be naive.
XDwhatsmylife MSP not true they been saying that since the 80s Maybe 70% of the ocean is inhabitable for humans but it’s been plenty of discoveries since those days
@@lmao9526 Why didn't you look up the amount of great whites left instead of coming back here and displaying your total ignorance mixed with your ego? There's about 3500 (yes, 3.5k or three thousand five hundred) great whites left roaming the planet's waters. A far cry from a million.
Some of them locals can't stay out of the water cuz the only way they can feed their family is fishing and they can't afford to buy a big boat and high quality fishing rods. You do whatever it takes to feed your family and people like you should have more understanding for other people considering how things are today with high prices of everything.
“Looking to attack”.. That’s going to help to preserve these misunderstood predators Yes they bite (curiosity bite), yes they’ve attacked humans before... but they’re not killing machines. Even if they were, it’s their oceans, humans needs to respect that, and not think of them as these aggressive monsters. They are just an extremely well evolved species. #sharklove
Katie Mould I agree. It’s like those videos where people are exploring outside of a cage and a medium sized shark comes up to you and you stab it for no reason. That’s like some random guy walking into your house and stabbing you because you looked at him....
There could be a prehistoric shark that's still alive. The megaladon is what I'm referring to, of course. And surprisingly there's a lot of evidence to back the theory.
@Unify: Thanks for adding some confusion. The whale shark is approriately named Orca and is actually a whale. Whales come in very different sizes. So what size are they actually referring to? Edit: Thanks to Logan Ody: I must be getting old. Whale sharks are the biggest fish, e.g. the biggest living sharks and they feed on plankton.
Well there is always the talk and legend of "Submarine". A 30ft White Shark in the South African waters. Which MANY fishermen from that area claim to have seen and come across. So anything is possible considering we know more about our Moon's surface then what lies beneath our oceans...(g)
tomtalker2000 since the dawn of man we have been exaggerating the size of animals. Nothing is special enough for us.. we always need bigger and better.
From what I've read there are some speculations that even the Megalodon wasn't the real top shark style predator....I'd hate to encounter whatever was....
SMH giving an already misunderstood predator even more negative attention. Sharks are very curious, but they don't have hands. so they use their teeth. Misleading people just to make a show, try educated people with the right information or does that not sell?
Gabriel Felix Muñoz Yes, I'd suggest you go free diving in those waters. Maybe with some bull sharks while you're at it. Record it, post it on RU-vid and prove your point. Otherwise shut the hell up.
When the sharks black eyelids are out, yea, its misunderstood there. (kidding.) Sure, sharks aren't going to kill for no reason but, those sharks were in attack mode.
Yes, sharks are predators. Beautiful ones, too. This video is attracting negative attention towards them. If they had hands, they would not attack. They are curious creatures and would definitely not ever try to hurt anyone on purpose. They are just trying to explore but sometimes it ends badly. Only 2 people die a year from a Great White shark attack. More people go to the hospital from touching a toaster. This video shows all false information and there is basically nothing real about it. Smh.
OhLina, what makes you think "if they had hands, they wouldn't attack"? How do you figure that? PEOPLE have hands and THEY attack! But a shark wouldn't?
If they had hands....hmmmm? Right. Then they would just reach up and grab people off of boats and surf boards, hold them tightly, and bite their f#%&$ heads off! But here is the real question, what if they had opposing thumbs!?!? Would they then run for Congress and the City Council?
@Stipee Maric No they don't deserve it, people lose limbs in traffic accidents and get killed, but there isn't that kind of silly panic. People can easily avoid the risk of getting bitten by a shark, stay out of the water.
Stevo Canuck Are you actually saying there more than likely isn't a 30 to 36 foot predatory shark in their waters?How would you prove that?With your skepticism😂😂😂
Lol typical nutter believing ridiculous nonsense. You don't have to prove there isn't a 30-36 foot shark, you have to prove there is one. Learn burden of proof if you claim something absurd exists I don't have to prove it doesn't, you have to prove it does. It is extremely unlikely there actually is a shark that big since the biggest white shark ever found is only about 23 feet long. you can go ona bout how the ocean is unexplored blah blah blah. Well guess what the african jungle was mostly unexplored 100 years ago and now it's pretty much all been explored and still no bigfoot or sabretooth cats. Turns out animals that actually exist tend to just be found by scientists who look for them and ones that don't exist never seem to pop up.
@@youbetzler There's definitely monsters in the ocean. Plenty of food, and places to hide. Something big wouldn't have to feed regularly. Because it will kill a large size animal. Probably live off 1 large kill for weeks, without having to eat. Then it can drop back down to the depths of the ocean.
wow this video does exactly what shark week intends to do the opposite of. it terrorizes and demolishes everyones idea of real shark bahvior and makes them out to be blood thirsty, human flesh craving, killing machines
It really ticks me off how much they make these beautiful creatures seem like demons of the ocean. I'd love for someone to just "drop in" to someone's home in a cage, studying them and refusing to leave, just to see how they react. I know I wouldn't like it, and this is their home! Of course some sharks are going to get a bit territorial and feel as though they have to defend themselves, I know I would! So please, Discovery, stop making them look like monsters, because that's not on and that's totally false
I think it's not the cameraman, or prey like they say, the shark is interested in, but the metal cage that's activating it's senses. Either way, these 'researchers' should protect these beautiful, intelligent animals by educating their viewers instead of dumbing them down and picturing them as wild killers with a suspenseful soundtrack. They're predators, extremely well adapted after millions of years of evolution. A-holes.
@Paulo Eclectik, They don’t fucking eat you. There has never been a case of a human getting eaten by a shark. Loins, wolfs, bears, will eat you, sharks being aquatic animals don’t. It’s fucking simple. It blows my mind how many ignorant npcs believe in this shit. Do your research.
@Latinos unidos - We ain't goin nowhere, If only you could convert emotions through words properly. Lol why would I be sensitive over a conversation about sharks? I’m pretty chill dude, I’m just asking what do you mean by your first comment.
Andy Casagrande is a brave man. He has a spare wetsuit and oxygen tank for his gigantic balls. He's the guy outside of the cage filming the people inside of the cage.
They go on as though these beautiful fish dont belong in the sea.This is there home leave them alone ,The human race yet again interfering ,Just cant help it some ppl
Beth Mcwilliams yeah for real why do people want to fuck with something that is so much stronger and bigger than themselves especially in an environment where they are at a huge disadvantage
Matt Ganci Natural human arrogance . Nature has equipped us with such advanced intelligence but hasn't given us the tools to be able to comprehend nor understand our limits and really where our place in the eco-system of the world .
TomCL 2000It's not arrogance that drives them. It's curiosity. They're trying to learn more about these creatures. Matt Ganci Realistically speaking they could easily have gotten underwater guns and murdered the sharks there. Or set up traps with baits. Humans have killed countless sharks and can wipe them out if necessary. Does that mean they should? Of course not. But can they if they wanted? Absolutely.
Oh how I would LOVE to do a few cage dives there Have seen a few monsters off Dyer Island while cage diving, actually had my mask knocked from my face while sticking my head out the side of the cage whilst trying to take pics of another shark that bumped the cage, WOW, these creatures are so beautiful and enormously powerful, yet graceful
Fun fact: According to the Guinness Book of Records, the two largest great white sharks ever found were 36' and 37' feet long. The 36' foot shark was captured off Port Fairyin South Australia in the 1870s, while the 37' shark was caught in New Brunswick, Canada, in the 1930s. So those legends/myths/fishermen tales might not be so farfetched after all!!!
That’s not true, experts recreated the size of the port fairyn shark by the jaws of it and it was only 17’, the one off Canada is believed to have been a Basking shark.
@@michaelhart8401 according to the actual data, it measured 36ft 6 inches. I like how they toss aside with errors etc but perhaps the jaws themselves are not from the shark - I doubt very much the people who measured it, got it wrong by that amount!
@@JosephGibson There's also "actual data" that people lived to 250 years old. Someone writing something down 100 years ago doesn't make it "actual data" or a fact. It just mean someone wrote something down 🤡
