I find it funny that he claimed that he was there to help the fish but he put bleach in the aquarium tanks.
Yeah 😂
Yep, that's...pretty condemning 😅
Yeah it’s funny asl I would do the same thing
In minecraft
@@Fryscream777mincraft bleach when?
Are we not going to talk about the dude who had a horned shark for sale and set it on a piece of wood, instead of taking a picture of it in water??
it was probably just some guy hearing about the stolen shark and posting a picture from the internet to troll people
He gave the shark some time to breath out of the water
@@AnimaKon Yea, poor thing was drowning 😢
I found dude on TikTok talking about animal skulls and I was hooked. Also that supraorbital ridge and the color of the shark reminds me of charizard
Same I just found him like a couple of months ago like his voice and how he moves his hands is soothing and what’s he’s talking about is cool
another aquarium heist. a fish store one day noticed that their indo pacific gold torch coral had gone missing. those corals are highly valuable and can sell for 450$. they checked the surveillance footage and noticed that someone had reached into the coral tank, grabbed the coral and shoved it in his pocket. the thief was caught and the coral war returned to the store.
Woah
If he is an aquarium hobbyist, why would he bleach several fishtanks for the sake of a shark? Also, what a selfish human being, trying to kill fishes and stealing a shark for private enjoyment instead of the public enjoying the shark on the aquarium.
Random prisoner: what are you in for?
Anthony: I stole a shark
Random prisoner:👀
You're a great story teller man seriously, you have a great voice, the pacing is good and your delivery is smooth and has that quality to it that captures the attention and interest of a listener. Please continue to make story telling videos as well as your usual awesome preserved specimen informational breakdown videos
Couldn’t have said it any better!! 💯 agree with you! He is amazing I wish I could find more people and channels like him.
He's an activist who cares for the well-being of fish... so logically, in his mind, he dumps bleach into the saltwater filtration system that serves several tanks, just to acquire a bucket for the shark he had just scarpered off with.
I press X for Doubt about him caring for the well-being of fish.
How did the shark like- not die? Was the towel damp? Who brings a damp towel into an aquarium non-chalantly.
well, apparently shark can survive up to one hour outside the water
horn sharks live in rock pools, which form when the very low tide comes and parts of the ocean near the shore almost completely dry out, locking marine creatures away in very shallow pools of low oxygen water. Creatures who live in rock pools have adapted over the years to the low oxygen in very different ways, and the horn shark is extremely adapted to the rock pool environment. For example they can breath air for quite some time, and also crawl out from their rock pool to another one, through DRY LAND, in search of food or better conditions. Truly amazing creatures, even more when you consider the fact that these pools can remain this way for days at a time
@@giulianoforti542 thank you for the information :D
my question is if hes such an activist then why put bleach in the filtrition systems to possiably kill other animals. thats like me going to a zoo at night stealing an animal then putting carbon monoxide into their sleeping spaces while the animals sleep and claiming it was for the good of the animals.
I've never heard of this heist 🦈
Love the account just Subbed
I dont know, his explanation sounds fishy.
Lol
true crime and specimens are actually a new type of vibe
First impression at title
"How the fuck did he steal a shark?"
"Oh it's not a big shark"
"Oh he just fucking YOINKED it."
When he gets released
"THE LION THE WITCH AND THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH!!!"
The giggle at 13:40. 😂😂😊 I love it
Same, he's so warm hearted and funny
Hey,
could you show some larger reptiles like crocodiles or alligators?
Love this stories
This whole elaborate heist for what? A shark? Why not just buy the shark?
People eat shark fins and it’s illegal so maybe that’s why?
@@v.xien. horn sharks are not a likely specimen for shark fin soup. in fact, i don't think you could really use one at all. they use the meat in the dorsal fin, horn sharks do not have much, if any, in there. he most likely just wanted a shark and could not or did not want to buy one.
You really think you can Walk into an aquarium and say "hey lemme buy that"?
@@v.xien. shark fin soup is not illegal. It's illegal to catch a shark, cut off its fins and throw it back. You have to bring the whole sharks back to shore so they can be accounted for towards the legal catch limit.
14:15 okay let’s talking about the way this guy is standing. The way he has his hands in his armpits means self soothing so he is not comfortable. Correcting me when i’m wrong about this.
He could’ve just bought one, instead of stealing the one from the aquarium and making everyone else look bad in the process, they’re only a few hundred dollars
This needs to be a movie
Oceon's 11 part 6?
Imagine stealing a shark
What happened to his accomplice? Did they question him?
Did the guy got arrested?
The prisoner:what crime did you commited?
The guy:i stole a horn shark
Also the prisoner:WHAT-
The delusional nature of some people. The lies we tell ourselves to justify our selfish actions.
When I was younger I used to think that the horn shark got its name because of it's brows above its eyes😅 yeh...
What is the motive?
Shannon claimed that he POSED AS AN Instant Ocean Representative (in order to gain access). Upon someone claiming to be an expert on something (exceeding the expertise of the present authority), his/her Account implies that it is believed by all that Ownership of the Gear belongs To Whomever Has The Most Expertise (and that once he/she becomes the #1 Expert, he/she may do ANYTHING to exercise his/her right to access the "means of production" AD LIBITUM. THAT'S WHY THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL. THAT'S WHY GENETIC EDITING IS NOT SAFE. THAT'S WHY I MAY NEVER RETURN. All it takes is for some fundamentalists to pose as people who have expertise, and everything is finished.
He just fucking Yoinked the shark
it recalls the dolphine stealling seen by the deep in the boys
Did he get jail time?
Really quick, i know its not important, but wrong map in the beginning. Thats for SeaLife San Antonio, not the San Antonio aquarium. Two different aquariums in two different parts of the city
She never thought to ask for ID?
He literally tried to sell it though lmfao
Is he Canadian?
I think he bonded with the shark in the touch tank..
I fell in love after one touch. I didnt know I could love again.. after the divorce. I used all my savings, and I built the nicest tank. I'm no thief, but I had to become one for love.
I went there before
The Way he just scoops it up and walks away with a shark is so stupid. Why is no one reacting to a man taking a shark?
Mr t why do you find it funny that he claimed he was there to help but put bleach in th aquarium
If he liked fish why would he bleach em
this story stressed me out 😅
did the shark get returned to the aquarium
Went downhill since Oceans 11. From casinos tto aquariums.
I've only seen part if one of those movies
Just imagine all the other animals being trafficked for private buyers here in America
Because let's be honest, some dude probably put a job out for this shark
Cause this is too crazy
Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!?!?!!!!!!
How did this happen in 2018, and how did the aquarium know they would need cameras pointed at the tank AND a shark alarm?? Have there been previous shark heist attempts???
The alarm was for water quality problems. It went off because he put bleach in the water. They probably have cameras all over the building and property.
@@Cillana i like to believe it implies a previous shark heist attempt
@@nadiamarie9833 1. It wasnt directed pointed at the tank, just the room which happened to have the tank in shot
2. It wasnt a shark alarm, it was for the filters
What are they gonna do with that shark 🦈 and poor fish 🐟 😢😢😢😢😢😢
saltwater tanks: oh no I have bleach in my filtration
freshwater tanks: oh
It’s 2023, September, Sunday 17
Dood your so intelligent 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤓
Salvaggio, not Salviago
I’m going to be honest. He really probably did save that shark. The San Antonio aquarium is the saddest place I’ve ever seen.
Yeah he definitely saved the shark by dumping bleach into the entire salt water tank filtration system. Definitely what an animal activist would do
@@sadezem991 the SA aquarium let’s dead fish sit in tanks for days, has a “touch tank tortoise” about 2’ feet long left in a 3’ long metal feeding trough and keeps exotic birds in individual cages smaller than ones they sell at petsmart shoved in a corner of the facility. If you want to be mad about my comment go take it up with them.
But you have to admit that he didn’t care about the vast majority of those fish. He wanted that shark and didn’t care if all the other animals in the salt water aquariums died.
@@addyshorhnr3544 oh absolutely I agree, it’s been a while since I watched this video and heard about the heist. But I remember hearing that he put just enough to set off the sensors and not enough to hurt the existing animals. Clearly I could be wrong, but I only made my original comment with that knowledge.
is it you shannon ?
cant have sh in texas 💀
I see some people hating on zoo's and aquariums and I understand that in a perfect world every animal should be in the wild. But our world is FAR from perfect.
Zoo's/aquariums are a necessary evil. Without zoo's to keep endangered animals in sufficient numbers to have a viable gene pool we risk losing many species to extinction.
Even with land set aside for animal reserves, poachers still slaughter countless animals and cause the extinction of protected species.
Even with armed guards poachers still manage to sneak into reserves under the cover of night to set traps and check ones set previously for their quarry.
Zoo's are not perfect but they do have the benefit of making people care, which may seem crazy(it did to me at first because I care about a creatures wellbeing simply because they are sentient creatures with feelings).
But for some reason people connect more with creatures they can see in person. It makes their plight all the more real. Then the revenue generated by ticket sales and merchandise can be used to help animals in the wild.
But it needs to be done properly so that the physical and mental wellbeing of the animal is priority #1
I think quality zoos that treat their animals with respect and give them plenty of space, activities and diets are probably an animals dream. I mean we romanticise the wild alot but when you really think about it the wild really sucks. Fighting for your life everyday, under threat of predation which may or may not just eat you Alive, humans destroying your home or poaching you. I reckon animals in the best quality zoos are living in a paradise compared to the ones in the wild. I mean if I was an animal I would prefer to be all comfy and worry free in a zoo. That is of course if the zoo cares and treats their animals like gold like they should. Really crappy zoos don't deserve the animals they have.
Only exceptions I find are animals that always do worse in captivity. Like big marine mammals, great whites and even hermit crabs have a severe cap on their life span in captivity.
@Chantel Stenner I agreed 100%, especially about orca. I mean, it's easy to understand why taking an animal with large extended families in the wild, why being separated and being isolated would be extremely cruel! It's sick to me how some people can look at such animal that are obnoxiously sentient and intelligent and not understand that they feel the same feelings and pain as humans do. They just communicate differently.
But yeah, for some animals in good zoos, I can see how it would be heaven compared to the wild. You're right, people tend to anthropomorphize animals and assume an animal would want to be free in the wild because that is what they would want as a human. That is not always the case and to find examples just look at cats. They domesticated themselves multiple times in human history and have experienced great success living with humans to the Point they by population out number all other feline species by a huge degree!
Other animals also benefit from humans and cities like raccoons, and in India even large mammals like panthers were found to benefit from living around cities and had increased population density.
If he cared about fish why would he drown them in bleach?
:)
As a former volunteer at an aquarium, I don't understand why anyone would steal a horn shark, especially in a premeditated event. Horn sharks are boring, they are mostly nocturnal and wouldn't be very interesting for a collection or anything like that.
Lol why did this dude steal a fish from an aquarium and not the ocean? Like go on a fishing trip to California easy
An activist that just wants to help the fish who then dumped bleach in the filtration system 🤦🏼♀️
What charges does everyone think these guys should get?
why do you find it funny
Your telling me a random worker recognized a dude that came into an extremely busy aquarium from all the other visitors months later? Sounds like bs idk
He said he worked for their salt distributor and she gave him a behind the scenes tour for I think he said two hours. How is that not memorable?
@@Cillana when you are running a place and people like that come in and out probably 3 times a day it is very much typical
@@pandapruitt2542 you made it sound like you were comparing him to the hundreds of regular visitors. Personally I wouldn't remember the face if a person I saw two months ago. But I'm terrible with faces. I know there are people who have a much better memory of what people look like than me. I would definitely remember that someone came in two months ago and said that there might be a problem with the salt that was delivered. But I definitely wouldn't remember what he looked like and might not remember his name. I know that there are people who can though. I'm sure I wasn't remembered when I got to go behind the scenes as part of a field trip for my college marine vertebrates class because that was of no significance.
@@Cillana but that is my point though, this lady being able to recall his face and be so super sure of it sounds like bs to me it's fishy is all I am saying
why are you smiling like this is funny?
He’s smiling/laughing because the crime is weird. Like, who elaborately plans and steals a little shark from an aquarium and puts it in a baby stroller?
it's pretty hilarious
I am in the corner of Anthony if he was gonna release the animal back into the wild because I am not a fan of zoo’s all animals should not be kept in a cage
But would you put bleach into other fishtanks and risk killing them? I don't believe that these guys were activists. Thats not what animal lovers do.
Problem is that zoo's are almost a necessary evil. Without zoo's to keep endangered animals in sufficient numbers to have a viable gene pool we risk losing many species to extinction.

He stole it, lied to the staff and the police, lied in his interview, bleached the fish. That shark could’ve been there for a short time as an ambassador as happens sometimes, or could’ve been non releasable due ti being raised in captivity
@@parmysan8450 I agree with you. But what's an ambassador in this context? English is not my first language so sorry if this is a stupid question.
@Caro S. Ambassador to the species are trained to interact with people, people tend to connect with animals they get to physically see/ touch better than just a photo.
Ambassador animals can sometimes travel to different locations, some even visit schools.
