To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
Hammerhead sharks have an impressive 360-degree vision thanks to their unique head shape. Absolutely amazing creature. Thanks for the amazing content Nat Geo!
I live in Florida and I have seen videos of Hammerheads and some have been 13 to 15 feet . Wherever there's stingrays you'll find Hammerheads and other species of sharks. Sharks also hang around the fishing piers for easy meals.
I'm adding a second comment because I wanted to tell a story of my own experience having little to do with sharks. Off the coast of Maine in New England USA, we have an array of sharks and whales. I was privileged while on a cruise in 1970 (under sail) when the wind had dropped and I dove in for a swim. A very large creature rose up from the depths and saw me before I saw her. It was a Right Whale and beside and around it were some marine creatures, including her calf who gave the whale plenty of distance. I saw the whale's eye which was the size of a dinner plate and knew I was safe with her. I have a way with animals I don't know where it comes from and it's not my place to ask, only to accept and abide by its limitations. The whale decided she wanted to swim with me. She offered me a flipper to ride with her and she circled the boat several times, her baby following along. I was 15 at the time and my parents were frantic. The whale breached near the boat I think because she wanted to show them I was safe with her. As she re-entered the water, the wave sucked me under her. She made sure to push me back up to breathe. They were so shocked they shut up and watched. I was in the water for no more than about 20 minutes with my new friend and understood that this was an experience I had to treasure for the gift that it was. She came up for air and sent a spout up as high as she could and then dove under me back into the depths. As a goodbye, she slapped her tail fin sending water all over the boat. I know animals and I can tell you they are far more intelligent than most people understand. When you show them respect that they understand, you will never be attacked.
WOW LIKE OH MY GOODNESS WOW!N That literally gave me goosebumps to read that. That must have been the most incredible experience ever My only question is How can anything else in life top that experience that was an AWESOME AWESOME STORY THAKS FOR SHAING
Kinda funny the statement. When you were raised and lived in Fl. He said it's hard to find the hammerhead. NOT in my life! I seen school and schools of babies. And everytime I went waist deep to fish I'd hook a small one. And one swam around me cause it wanted my bait bucket. Gawd, I got stories. Guess it's true to the rule. When you look for something hard, you won't find it
Jeez, did you see the size of that hook? They had to use bolt cutters to catch and release. Thanks for loving all God's creatures. Not just the cute ones!
But those hooks were from a long long time ago when it wasn’t illegal to catch them. I am sure smaller ones get caught on accident, but it’s illegal due to an international trade of endangered species to even do anything to them. I know in China they eat shark fin soup, and maybe they still do things to them, but I think most places you’d never mess with them. That’s why they are making a big comeback.
I took a ride in a kayak behind a hammerhead shark over the length of my 20ft two person kayak we had a 3hr tour before I cut his majesty loose. Bull sharks are tough and put up a fight, but a massive hammerhead just cruises and when that massive animal finally comes to the surface you are being blessed with one of God's greatest blessings, make sure you snap the hook so it works out, but be very careful, they are actually very gentle animals.
It's true, as they're just living within their own natural environment. It's "we" animals that always enter "their" personal space/territories & cause great disturbance & annoyance to them. They then "react" if close by, as is to be obviously expected, yet, we deem them one of earth's most wild & dangerous creatures. Yes, they can be & they are dangerous for sure, but "only" when we cause them too much grief & they can smell our scent or our blood, but on the flip side, they may not find us too palatable @ all, as most seem to believe.
If "you are being blessed with one of God's greatest blessings" why are you sticking a hook in it and forcing it to tow your around for hours? Just more evil hidden behind an imaginary story.
I used to walk fields for arrowheads when I was younger.... I found a couple pieces of faceted hematite and had no idea what they were .. but I kept them knowing they were something.... now I know lol. Keep on keeping on Rocks 👍🏼
I was always under the impression that the biggest sizes of a Giant HH was on average in a 13-18ft. Hearing 14ft was the longest GHH was very surprising. 😮
the dif between resurch and doing it for a living is she thinks that checking her lines is the phisicale part lol go on a reale fishishing boat i give ypu 30 mins lol
Wow their lack of knowledge makes me wonder if they've ever left a classroom. Hammer heads 17 feet plus are easy to find. Maybe they should be taught by commercial fisherman. The things they think they know are 100% wrong. Just a bunch of phonies.
