  • People who are willing to go out of their way to rescue the life of an animal are truly valuable heroes. While most rescue missions tend to happen above water, sometimes fascinating things can happen under the sea. When one diver was approached by a shark during an aquatic adventure, he was pretty terrified. That was until he realized that the shark was in desperate need of help!

    I once found a painted turtle with a sharp thing coming out of the corner of its eye. I tugged at it with fine pliers thinking it was a thorn but it ended up being the tip of a HOOK, something she had apparently bitten and the point had gradually over time worked its way through the roof of her mouth into her eye socket. I took her to a vet who was able to surgically remove the hook and even save her eye, miraculously.

    The guy gets an A+ for calmly taking care of the sharks' needs and recognizing it needed help.

      Still animals up there in despair try all their soul asking for a bit of help in severe need. Cats, squirrels, sharks. Just very few got lucky getting an old soul human. Prolly can sense. The hook must have been there for many weeks if not months.

      Once, a priest was touring in the African Savanna. Suddenly, a lion appeared, obviously intent on having the priest for dinner. Realizing that he had no chance of escaping, the priest fell to his knees in prayer. Puzzled at the absence of an attack, the priest opened his eyes and was astonished to see the lion also kneeling, its paws clasped in prayer. He was about to approach the lion and join it in prayer when he was stopped by his guide’s urgent stage whisper- “B’wana! Get your ass outa there while his eyes are closed! He’s praying, alright; he’s saying Grace!”

I had a friend that worked with me and he was always very nervous and the shakes would never approach him. The sharks can feel and sense your heart rate and an array of things your body expels that you don't even realize. They have had millions of years to evolve this super powers and believe me they know how to use them really well.

      Wild creatures can sense fear and anxiety in a human. It's a trigger for a predator that hunts other animals in order to eat. All cats, from a housecat to a mountain lion will give chase if something starts running in their presence. They can't help themselves it's in their nature. Like dragging a string in front of your little pet kitty. Riding a bike or jogging in cougar country is a big risk every time you do it. The movement may cause the big kitty to chase and take you down.

    Since this diver goes diving three times every day, this shark must have seen him often in the same waters this shark calls home. The diver became a familiar person like someone you might see on the subway every day on your way to work. He became part of the shark's world and would be the one that the shark would feel comfortable asking for help since the diver didn't act threatened or threatening. What is also amazing is the intelligence of the shark and its understanding that men can help.

Good stuff 👍

    I’m seeing more and more videos of animals coming to humans for help with getting trapped and caught and hooked and fed. It’s beautiful to see the wild animals coming people in trust and the people not being scared and willing to assist with an open heart. Sharks are not “bad” and “dangerous” creatures unless you threaten them . Thank you for posting this to show people not to be so afraid. 💙✨🙏 🦈

    I love videos like these … they serve as a reminder of just how blessed we are, that these beautiful animals, from every domain of the animal kingdom, will somehow just inherently trust us - in their most vulnerable & desperate situations - to help them!
    It’s as beautiful as it is awe inspiring!

    The diver showed heroic bravery. A great connection between man and a dangerous prey.

      "dangerous prey" what?

      Would have been braver if it was the Great White that had the hook that needed removal, rather than a Lemon Shark!

    As a hunter, I feel this animal needed help and was grateful. It's always hard to take from nature for food,seems like we are always taking and never giving back,
