The boardnose sevengill shark, also known as the spotted sevengill cowshark, is a widespread species in temperate seas, and is particularly common in the Indo-Pacific region. In South Australian and Californian waters, the boardnose sevengill, growing to a maximum of thirteen feet long, is considered to be an aggressive and potentially dangerous species.
I noticed in that show that Sevengills were surprisingly aggressive--and kind of devious too. Must be the eel like movement that makes them seem more 'snaky'. Anyway, I'd heard they gang up on large prey like seals and dolphins even though they're not an extremely large shark--it seems that they use 'team work', or at least the komodo dragon 'mob attack'.
@Jason O'Connor Indeed! That being said, their obviously more than adequate dentition (and their habit, in SF Bay at least,, of eating anything that it can get it's mouth around) makes them a 'be careful around them' candidate
@Jason O'Connor Or it was attracted to the electrical impulses--I've seen other footage where they sneak in and try to eat the ponytail off of one of the divers. Sevengills are very capable hunters, even ganging up on prey larger than themselves (I'd love to see that on Shark Week, btw!); remember the 'Rimmer Directive' (shout out to Red Dwarf) and always watch out for things with more teeth than the whole Osmond Family.
@Jason O'Connor Possibly...but you can't really outswim a shark; I remember this particular ep: it seems they came 'eeling' out of the kelp to have a look. So either 'what they saw made them curious about how they tasted' or the 'terran apes' got the sharks all 'turfy'; I mean I don't care how big your swimfins are you can't follow a shark that don't want to be followed--but you can irritate them.
Great footage in this documentary but a lot of over dramatic nonsense as well. The sharks are clearly being baited off camera and driven into a frenzy both by the food/being constantly prodded and poked. Sevengills are usually pretty placid and don't rate as a man eater at all
As the film notes, the Sun happens to be going down, and many sharks - especially deeper-swelling ones like Bluntnose Sixgills and Sevengills among others who dwell near the surface like blacktips - are known to get more aggressive as night falls.
The Greenland shark is a scavenger, No cases of predation on people have been verified. The frigid waters in which it live makes the likelihood rather small. I read it is attracted to rotting flesh.
Steve Nottingham watch the the corkscrew killer documentary, they aren’t only scavengers believe it or not and if an opportunity arises they will glady eat something live.
I'm not a shark expert. I just go shark fishing. But check out WHAT the sevengills are interested in. It's not legs, necks, or hands. It's small, shiny camera lenses, roughly the size of a dead seaperch or little baitfish. Sevengills usually live around other bottom based scavenging fish. They slowly move along muddy bottoms and engulf anything they can easily suck into their mouths. Dead sardines, complacent baby halibut and sand soles, crabs, shrimp, and things such as. In an unmolested state they behave more like catfish than "Jaws." My uneducated guess is these big bottom feeders got frustrated by something small and shiny that they couldn't engulf on one bite and are using their collective 5 braincells to figure out how to eat it without burning up a ton of calories.
I have seen frenzies off the back of a ship and dread to think what would have happened here if blood had been spilled...0 to 100 on the danger scale in a heartbeat!
I am not 100% sure but the last i read was that sharks actually dont react much to blood. At least if its not a lot of it (like liters on end). They react way stronger to erratic movement they can pick up on with their sensory organs and foreign objects in their territory etc (btw i also didnt know before i read that article that sharks have territories).
People are saying those sharks pose no threat because of their size and their right one shark alone but think now that is a pack of large fish with sharp teeth so if all went for one diver at the same time they'd do alot of damage.
That's about as big as they get, though the max out at 10ft. There are no known fatalities from that species and only 7 recorded attacks ever, so the histrionics from the divers seems unnecessary.
You won't be mocking them when you go diving in those waters and get ripped apart limb by limb because you couldn't give a rat's ass about the dangers of these sharks.
This wasn't hunting behavior at all. These sharks weren't sneaking up on the divers. They were charging them from the front. This was a "get outta my territory" operation. They saw the divers as competition.
Sometimes, It never ceases to amaze me on how stupid human beings are. It isn't hard to understand how dangerous it is when these buggers go on a frenzy, especially when they're not wearing protective gear.
Pack hunters... good! Maybe they'll start hunting those damned Orca. Shark just eats, because Shark don't care, those Whales.... they know damn well what they are doing, and they like it.
Here we see some huge predators being aggressive and next to them some sharks in their natural habitat
Underrated comment
It's also humans natural habitat if you count the collective years worth of time humans have been in the ocean #maths
The correct counter to such a tactic is going back to back.
The shark at 2:10 is like "I'm just chilling...strolling by...don't mind me...RAHHH!!"
More like a shark just swimming around and some idiot puts a camera in its way.

Nah you could see its hunting instinct got triggered by the camera man
one can only imagine how much worse it could have been if they were 8 gill sharks
i honestly never heard.of the 7.gill before. nice maekings... the magic of youtube
There's the less scary 6 gill version! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluntnose_sixgill_shark
😂😭😭

Nice friendly fishes. They're always smiling :)
Shark: Hey boys! Look at these humans.
Other shark: what the hell are those
I only learnt about 6 gills recently and now I see this video about 7gill sharks. Interesting.
Same. Now I’m patiently waiting for an video about an eight gill shark to pop up.
How is here from the MISFITS podcast?😂😂
Neo Borter aye my man 😂
Same lmao
is this the video the boys were talking about?
@@simonhermenius934 idk but that shark small aff

To me, this and the Greenland shark are so completely fascinating... wish more research was being done on these two potential killers
Two potential killers as in Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy or ”killers” as in eating other animals?😂😂😂😂💀

Killers? Are you drunk or something?
they're so small and cute !

I've never seen sevengills with white spots like that before. pretty.

these 2 meter long sharks are scarier than any 6 meter great white or tiger shark i've seen on youtube
We have 6 gills in Puget Sound but they seem a lot more sluggish and far less aggressive.
We also have sevengills
Where is this full documentary available
As if the the sea wasnt already scary enough

Human eyes scary af
Seven gill shark- A close relative of the Sixgill shark.
so these dont get as big as the 6 gill correct? different type of shark
Omg.. they're Frikken PUPS!!
OR, if that's as big as they get, HOW embarrassing for a fellow Ozzie to CARRY ON LIKE THAT, OVER A FISH.. 😕
😂😂😂

Nice Vid! Attacking the camera, lookslike, they are camera-shy
Such beautiful spots
next time, never go to dangerous place
They talking these sharks up like their super aggressive towards humans I dove with one yesturday and it acted like we we were not even there
Lol iwas fishing and hooked one with my dad they are really strong
Maybe if you guys didn't go in their feeding grounds
its not cooperative its competitive. when theres not much food first come first serve
I caught a baby sevengill shark once.
When that one had a go it made me jump!
And these scientists thought this was a good idea because......Darwinism?
These scientists were down there first due to an invasive plant species, and THEN they had to study the Sevengill's because... science.
what do you know? are you a scientist by any chance?
Thank you misfitz
They are actually primitive sharks that exactly how the primitive sharks looked in the prehistoric times
goes with a "spear" into the sea but the shark attacks them hmmmmm...
Not as big as the great white, though just as scary.
They are wondering if humans are tasty
shut the front door.
shark pog
What manipulation. Those sharks are chill, and pretty small. Stop it with the overdramatic music.
I thought sharks were vegetarians
I think I could take em
Those sharks don’t attacks humans lol
maybe let them the f alone how about that lol

There are sharks that hunt in a fucking pack!? Fml
Pack hunters... good! Maybe they'll start hunting those damned Orca. Shark just eats, because Shark don't care, those Whales.... they know damn well what they are doing, and they like it.
Only problem:
Orcas in the south african coast eat sevengill shark livers :/
GET OUT OF THE WATER. IT'S THAT SIMPLE
Does this seem stupid to anyone else?
Bwahaha are they calling those big sharks. This video is a joke.
