To address the orca in the room as well as few other things which have popped up in the comments ... Yes, Great Whites certainly share the spot as apex predators with a bunch of animals, like other sharks, Sperm Whales, Orcas and other toothed whales. This, however, doesn’t mean that they aren’t apex predators. There have of course be instances where Orcas have killed Great Whites - which obviously isn’t a problem for them given their size and that they hunt in large groups - but they are usually not a typical prey item for them. I originally had acknowledged orcas in the script but including "together with orca" or something like that every time I talk about sharks as apex predators just sounded dull. One interesting thing about this, which I wanted to include but then had to cut out because of time restraints (I didn’t want to go another month without uploading), is that Great Whites are actually very afraid of orcas - which would've I think fit great in the narrative that sharks aren’t mindless killing machines. Great Whites have been observed to quickly leave an area when Orcas show up and they usually don’t return for up to year. So Orca fans cut me some slack - this video was about sharks - I will make a video for you too in the future. Another albeit less controversial point was the one about the bite force. This is based on an article of the BBC (the fifth one in the description). In that article you can read - which most people commented - that the saltwater crocodile is the current record holder for the strongest measured bite force on the planet. However, computer models based on the jaw structure and muscles suggest that Great Whites probably have an even stronger bite although nobody has measured that yet in the wild. That’s why I said “possibly the strongest bite force”. That’s about it for now. If you have any more issues you can post them below and I will respond.

10 years from now: How the movie jaws destroyed the entire ocean ecosystem
5 лет назад+245
Peter Benchley, the man behind the novel "Jaws", which the movie was beased upon, felt very badly about this and was a very dedicated shark conservationist up until his death in 2006.
@ most people involved felt bad about it. Their intention never was to demonize sharks, but to make an intense movie, which it was at the time. Sadly, it ended up to be some kind of confirmation for killing sharks, that didn't do anything. And hands down, even when a shark kills a human, it's never an act of hatred or anything. They don't know such concepts, they just want to eat.
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 People are fucking stupid. Think about how people move into new housing developments and turn around when a cougar, bear, or any other wild animal shows up and wants them hunted because it's disturbing their peace. They don't think about the fact that they had to destroy a million acres of homes for the animals so that they can have a luxury home.
I don't really blame the companies, they want to make money, we're the ones who consume it. Now a day it's all about the sensationalism and the drama, and we consume it like a castaway finding fresh water. Hence the over saturation with "reality" shows.
Maybe in a couple more million years they will have evolved even further, and their pectoral fins might have turned into little T-rex arms. That way when humans enter their territory, they will no longer be bitten, but instead get molested by an inquisitive white shark. Much better!
John Kastello rabid wolves then? I’m pretty sure that statistic is correct though, so I’d say most of if not all of those deaths from wolves were from rabid wolves

I learned more in this 16 minutes than in 20 years of Shark Week. The explanation of how they've evolved to regulate their body temperature was so cool. And their social behaviour was completely new to me! You really covered this topic from every angle.. Excellent video!
The snails are getting more intelligent. They kill more every year, and we cannot keep up with their military prowess. The snail war has already begun.
It has always bugged me when some people try to justify their action of killing sharks with this claim: “We’re trying to keep our oceans safe.” Uh, excuse me? Sharks were swimming in those oceans long before we humans started to take the plunge. In short, that excuse doesn’t work anymore. The oceans belong to the sharks, not us.
Eh, no. Doesn't mean we should kill sharks, but the oceans don't belong to anyone, and humans using shark repellent or putting barriers around our swimming spots is perfectly normal. "Don't swim if you don't want to be bitten by a shark" is neither realistic nor helpful.
BigMikeMcBastard I think it’s fair to say that the ocean belongs to the organisms that actually live in it, though the concept of ownership is irrelevant to most marine animals. But seriously organisms like sharks have been around for literally 425+ million years, they’ve lived in the oceans since before even the existence of amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
@@BigMikeMcBastard , I'm sure you won't agree, but I would consider fewer humans quite helpful... both to the planet and the human race as well. ( Look up some of the studies that have been done over the years concerning over-crowding. ) There was just a little over 3 billion people on this planet the year I was born. Now there's nearly 8 billion, and things have gone to shit. It's not a coincidence. My vote is to let the sharks eat anybody stupid enough to get in the water with 'em, if they want. ( This is coming from someone who once had plans to become a marine biologist. ) People seriously need to reign in that sense of entitlement, as well as their urge to procreate, before they don't have a fit place to live. Oh, and leave the wildlife the hell alone, and stop chopping down every tree they see. Those things keep a stable ecosystem to support our worthless asses. Seriously, people... read a fucking book sometime. It's amazing what you can learn.
if you want to help sharks and other sea life commercial fishing is the biggest problem they don't just catch cod and tuna in their nets they catch sharks dolphins and turtles and they often die when they bring the nets up kinda like the scene in Nemo, they often use illegal nets as well and use people from poorer countries to work on their slave ships promising money but hold them hostage and they often never see their families again its horrible. I stopped eating and buying fish because I cannot put my money towards horrible people destroying the ecosystem because money drives them of course
I don’t. Sharks will still kill you. They don’t not intentionally kill humans out of the goodness of their heart, they do it because they don’t want to take a risk on a new food. They do not care for you or your well-being. They will have no qualms with permanently injuring or killing you. I’m not saying we should exterminate them, but keep in mind that these creatures have no compassion. No love for you, other sharks, or anybody else.
@@andrewsucksatvideos4482 oh yea!? ... You sure about that? ... Are you sure enough to jump into open waters without a cage in front of a great white? ... A hungry animal is a hungry animal, when the SS Indianapolis sank hundreds of people got eaten alive, with the right circumstances they certainly will and i'd bet my bottom dollar you wouldn't have the stones to find yourself in front of one as confident as you right now ... These are apex predators that can be highly unpredictable and although they may not have us at the top of their food choice, without an abundance of option you may certainly find yourself on that menu if the right circumstances present themselves.
Couldn’t be more wrong a pack of orcas have been documented killing great whites. Also when a pack of orcas move into an area shark sightings massively drop off. There can be two outcomes that caused this, they where eaten or the sharks relocated to ensure not having to compete for prey and to also become prey
@@GumaroRVillamil not necessarily. Size doesn't equal biteforce. Be it an orca or a great white, neither of the two would be a pleasant experience, however, orcas don't need a strong biteforce, their ability to hunt strategically is more than enough. Great whites on the other hand, similar to crocodiles, are ambush predators, they need a high biteforce in order to kill their prey, as they aren't exactly good at hunting something over distance
I think this is the best video you've ever made. I'm a little bit biased because I did a degree in marine biology and worked in marine wildlife conservation for several years, but it makes me so happy to see people like you make videos to inform others about the wildlife that so badly needs our protection, particularly when it's so well made!
What a phenomenal video! I hope that I will be able to study sharks and spread awareness of their importance to maintaining a balanced ecosystem in our oceans one day.
There are really only two sharks to actually be afraid of: The overly aggressive bull shark, and the only shark known to also be aggressive as well as doing it for actual predation: The Oceanic Whitetip, which has been attributed to deaths of many shipwrecked survivors. Great Whites tend to bite first as a test bite, and that bite rarely uses teeth, it's mostly figuring out if something is edible. Tugging back will cause them to go into instinct mode, and bite down properly. This is where most severed limbs come from.
Been watching a lot of these vids recently, given that great Whites are intelligent, I think it's fair to say they have their own personalities too, and whilst most don't attack humans, there are some who will give a test bite, and some who are, well dicks. Some sharks that are extremely territorial and will viciously attack swimmers, and others that are so hungry, they will attack to consume as has been shown in some individual cases.
@@jerradb1 Please watch mark rober's video. It's great anyway, so you should probably watch all of it, but if you want to see him swimming really close to sharks (not great whites though, I think they were tigers and bulls), he does exactly that towards the end of the video. Here : ruclips.net/video/ugRc5jx80yg/видео.html
I think the reason most people demonize sharks more than any other predator is because we as human beings associate sharp triangular shapes with danger as well as sharks having a pretty intimidating appearance when compared to most fish in the sea.
More people are killed by cars than sharks, yet people keep driving 🤦🏻♀️. I love sharks, without them the oceans would die. Also....when you realise great white sharks have splash fights 😂. Thank you for a fascinating video about these amazing animals.
@@stanstanstan2597 People hang around sharks more commonly than you think, surfers off the coast of California meet sharks all the time, the surfers just don't notice. There are youtube channels out there that show how sharks could be as close as 6m away from surfers and they don't notice.
I'd just like to say thank you for consistently uploading well-researched, excellently illustrated videos that are informative, clear and interesting to myself and my children aged 7, 13, 18. This video in particular resonates as I live in Australia - Great Whites are such an important part of our ecosystem and it's essential they and other shark species are protected.
Just like to point out the inaccuracy, Shark fin super has been illegalized in China, and carries a pretty heavy punishment. (Source: Currently living in China for several years.)
Could you elaborate? I've only heard of it being illegal in government banquets. Since you're living there, do you have access to more information? Thanks
I'm a scuba diver and I love diving but I "was" terrified of the Great White shark until my wife bought me a bottle of "shark repellent body lotion." The first time I was going to use it, the label fell off revealing the original label underneath....A-1 Steak Sauce. Now I understand why she took out a multimillion dollar life insurance policy on me. She said: "what would happen to our children if something happened to you?"...we don't have any kids! By the way, excellent presentation of the facts about sharks, particularly the Great White.
So i always hear "you are more likely to get struck by lightning than be bit by a shark" but how do the ratios compare between lightning strikes to population vs shark bites to people who have been in the ocean? Like obviously shark attacks are rare, but most people in the world never even been near the ocean
Truth, I think some of these videos, are not showing real numbers and ratios. And possibly making people a lot less aware of sharks and taking them for granted the numbers would never be even you can’t come up with a real ratio when one group is not participating in the other event on a regular basis
Great white sharks are full of love and want to give kisses to humans when they see them but since they have sharp teeth they hurt humans by accident. This makes white sharks very sad
Your videos are more interesting, informative, and visually attractive than most shows on netflix!!! Keep making videos these are seriously so awesome! :-)
People will defend sharks all day until one day they’re swimming, and a shark “curiously” comes up and rips through their flesh, leaving them open to further attacks.
Sharks are very important for our environment, if sharks are gone, the entire ocean would be dead to...truly sad how a misunderstanding and fishing leads to a catastroph😔😔
Is Aprex a new term like how BCE/ACE replaced BC/AD or just a typo? Your videos are so professional it honestly made me google it to make sure I wasn't misusing the word my entire life.
Sharks bite us because they’re curious? They be like “oh what is dis then nibble nibble.” And we’ve made them out to be killing machines when in fact they are adorable!
So if they’re hearing is so sensitive, why can’t a device be made that makes a noise in a frequency that they respond to like we respond to “nails on a chalkboard” sounds. Something that will act as a repulser to keep them away
Great Whites: "We are the top predator of the sea!" Orcas: (taps on GW's shoulder) "We're still here. Boo!" GWs: "Ahhhh! Craaaap!" (flees for their lives) Orcas: (turns to camera) "Before we got here, there was also a shark called Megalodon. No more."
@@ahmadfaiz4416 Tell that to the orcas. They say: 1) a dozen of them attacking in rotation will kill anything, and they're faster, smarter, and have greater endurance than any shark, and they work in simultaneous 3d coordinated pack/flanking tactics with sonar 2) you don't have to kill the biggest ones -- you can wipe out the small ones and the big ones disappear automatically after a while 3) if you bite off the fins, the teeth don't matter, and if you bite out the gills, the whole fish is done, and... 4) if you don't believe us, look at what we still do to great whites anywhere, any time we like. Chomp and roll, baby; chomp and roll. If you don't believe them, take it up with them. They seem pretty sure of themselves. The great whites also seem convinced enough that a whole population of them will flee an area if the orcas start in on them. There's even video and tag-tracking records of it happening. I'm not saying they are telling the truth. I'm just saying they could do it, and that's how they remember it. Maybe they got the story second-hand. Still, to this day, great whites survive by staying out of Orca's way.
@@ahmadfaiz4416 That's the spirit! Analytically, you're probably right, but the way I tell it makes a good Story. It feels more alive if you imagine a current-day resident of the deep recounting the tales of their heroic ancestors. With their huge, dense, complex, brains and oral folklore culture, maybe we can look forward to the day when some AI supercomputer can learn to talk/sing with the whales, and they tell us the tall tales of their histories in the seas. Human culture -- even the oldest shamanic threads --- only goes back 70,000 years, and we have almost nothing left from before 12,000 years ago, just a few shadows and scribbles, handprints on a wall, unexplained pictograms of totem creatures. Most of even our first advanced coastal culture is now under 30 meters of seawater, its evidence wearing away with the tides or forever buried in silt. Imagine, then, the grand living literature of a continuous whale culture passed down in song for 10 million years with all the nuances and varieties that allows... that's a library I would love to wander through, if only I can comprehend its meanings :)
@@ahmadfaiz4416 ahh.. so many ways to die... and here's the funniest part: I'm currently working on boat designs to hopefully build one and go out to live on the sea. Maybe I can make an articulated kevlar plate armor scuba suit, with built-in emergency floatation device? :)

I looooove sharks and I love how informative and important this video is!! Thank you for the research and easy to intake and digest interesting information about this beautiful creatures!!
The common thing I hear is that if a shark bites you, they are checking to see if you are prey, most often harming surfers because the silhouette looks like a fish above them which you disproved. Biting is not an uncommon way for top creatures to check on something. Heck, humans do it too, being mouthy is common for any curious species, but with a shark just being curious it's dangerous for us. I view it the same as if our house cats were as big as big cats. A playful bite or angry bite that we are annoyed by would otherwise be fatal. Size is probably one of the bigger impacts to things like this rather than an actual taste for humans.
Well I'm quite happy to have learned a few more things about the Great White, since all time that I have some knowledge of this species, you had me surprise by telling and explaining some of the little tricks like How work the warmth keeping of the shark ... And this is making a quite difference than some videos that telling stuff that everybody know even sometimes telling unreal stuff ... So just ... Good one and keep up the good work !
I was bored of all the other shark videos (and a ot of those "informative" videos) but this is one of the most concise, informative and easy to understand pieces of You Tubing I've see yet! And I don't usually type this kind of thing! (No I'm not a bot). Thanks looking forward to more! ;)
Thank you so much on doing a video on these misunderstood amazing animals! I've loved sharks from a young age and it always saddens me when people talk badly about them. It also added a few facts to my shark fact library haha. Great video!
人我是 only saltwater crocodiles will ever view a person as “prey” but only because they will literally eat anything they can kill. Fresh water crocodiles on the other hand are so docile when unprovoked that’s it is entirely possible to swim with them, as long as you do not disturb them they do not care
Wow, what a great video. Now, if we could just give these fish some f****** hands, they wouldn't need to go toothing everything just to satisfy their curiosity.
I had no idea sharks are curious. Curiosity is a sign of intelligence. I'd never thought of them as intelligent before. Poor sharks get such a bad rap!
I only just now discovered your videos. Thank you for all your effort and hard work, especially so since you are doing it all yourself. I made some videos myself (though none of them are nearly as sophisticated as these) and I know how long it can take to make a video. Amazing work.

But seriously organisms like sharks have been around for literally 425+ million years, they’ve lived in the oceans since before even the existence of amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
@@BigMikeMcBastard , I'm sure you won't agree, but I would consider fewer humans quite helpful... both to the planet and the human race as well. ( Look up some of the studies that have been done over the years concerning over-crowding. )
There was just a little over 3 billion people on this planet the year I was born. Now there's nearly 8 billion, and things have gone to shit.
It's not a coincidence.
My vote is to let the sharks eat anybody stupid enough to get in the water with 'em, if they want. ( This is coming from someone who once had plans to become a marine biologist. )
People seriously need to reign in that sense of entitlement, as well as their urge to procreate, before they don't have a fit place to live.
Oh, and leave the wildlife the hell alone, and stop chopping down every tree they see. Those things keep a stable ecosystem to support our worthless asses.
Seriously, people... read a fucking book sometime. It's amazing what you can learn.
@@BigMikeMcBastard I just don't like to swim in the sea even in 'HUMAN' Territory
the end made me feel really sad about sharks man
so i guess that means it was a good video
if you want to help sharks and other sea life commercial fishing is the biggest problem they don't just catch cod and tuna in their nets they catch sharks dolphins and turtles and they often die when they bring the nets up kinda like the scene in Nemo, they often use illegal nets as well and use people from poorer countries to work on their slave ships promising money but hold them hostage and they often never see their families again its horrible. I stopped eating and buying fish because I cannot put my money towards horrible people destroying the ecosystem because money drives them of course
I don’t. Sharks will still kill you. They don’t not intentionally kill humans out of the goodness of their heart, they do it because they don’t want to take a risk on a new food. They do not care for you or your well-being. They will have no qualms with permanently injuring or killing you. I’m not saying we should exterminate them, but keep in mind that these creatures have no compassion. No love for you, other sharks, or anybody else.
What makes me mad is when someone misunderstands sharks and thinks they're dangerous
Umm well they definitely are dangerous…
@@gdo3510 yes but they won’t go out of their way to eat people.
@@andrewsucksatvideos4482 oh yea!? ... You sure about that? ... Are you sure enough to jump into open waters without a cage in front of a great white? ... A hungry animal is a hungry animal, when the SS Indianapolis sank hundreds of people got eaten alive, with the right circumstances they certainly will and i'd bet my bottom dollar you wouldn't have the stones to find yourself in front of one as confident as you right now ... These are apex predators that can be highly unpredictable and although they may not have us at the top of their food choice, without an abundance of option you may certainly find yourself on that menu if the right circumstances present themselves.
@@gdo3510 they aren't dangerous. Not even close. Your chances of dying to a falling coconut or a vending machine are greater than dying to a shark
They are dangerous tho
They are not always at the top of the food chain. There are parts of the world where they cross over into orca territory and become prey.
@arbereshe No.
Couldn’t be more wrong a pack of orcas have been documented killing great whites. Also when a pack of orcas move into an area shark sightings massively drop off. There can be two outcomes that caused this, they where eaten or the sharks relocated to ensure not having to compete for prey and to also become prey
@arbereshe orcas are bigger, stronger, smarter and more agile. They also hunt in groups
@arbereshe absolutely not. Orcas are at the very top of the marine food chain.
They're heavier, larger, and WAY smarter than a shark could ever be.
@@GumaroRVillamil not necessarily. Size doesn't equal biteforce.
Be it an orca or a great white, neither of the two would be a pleasant experience, however, orcas don't need a strong biteforce, their ability to hunt strategically is more than enough.
Great whites on the other hand, similar to crocodiles, are ambush predators, they need a high biteforce in order to kill their prey, as they aren't exactly good at hunting something over distance
08:56 That is unexpectedly silly and even more unexpectedly adorable.
sharks really take the quote "curiosity might kill you" seriously lmao
My father had a great white tank, he fed Hans Blix to the sharks in Team America
I think this is the best video you've ever made. I'm a little bit biased because I did a degree in marine biology and worked in marine wildlife conservation for several years, but it makes me so happy to see people like you make videos to inform others about the wildlife that so badly needs our protection, particularly when it's so well made!
Thanks.
I watched the sleeper shark video ,for the second time, before and then I saw that you uploaded a new video.
Today is a great day.
What a phenomenal video! I hope that I will be able to study sharks and spread awareness of their importance to maintaining a balanced ecosystem in our oceans one day.
holy shit sharks are amazingly well adapted to everything they do
That's many millions of years of evolution for you 😀
FlorKiler new no shit that’s what makes them sharks

that's the joke dude

Sharks: I am ultimate predator in water.
Orcas: Hi.
Sharks double in size: now what
@@Quis3555 There are no dangerous sharks twice the size of adult Orcas. Whale sharks, while larger than Orcas, only feed on plankton.
6:20 wait how the HELL do snails kill 200,000 people per year??
Freshwater snails spread the parasite that causes schistosomiasis. Think of how mosquitoes kill so many people every year.
@@latrodectusmactans7592 and some seasnail speices are very poisonous.
There are really only two sharks to actually be afraid of: The overly aggressive bull shark, and the only shark known to also be aggressive as well as doing it for actual predation: The Oceanic Whitetip, which has been attributed to deaths of many shipwrecked survivors.
Great Whites tend to bite first as a test bite, and that bite rarely uses teeth, it's mostly figuring out if something is edible. Tugging back will cause them to go into instinct mode, and bite down properly. This is where most severed limbs come from.
Been watching a lot of these vids recently, given that great Whites are intelligent, I think it's fair to say they have their own personalities too, and whilst most don't attack humans, there are some who will give a test bite, and some who are, well dicks. Some sharks that are extremely territorial and will viciously attack swimmers, and others that are so hungry, they will attack to consume as has been shown in some individual cases.
This video is not just informative. It is RESPONSIBLE which is a key to media if conservation is to be a priority. Subbed.
I think sharks are cool :)
Lairoyale yeah then try swimming with one.
@@jerradb1 I'm just chilling riding a megalodon rn

@@jerradb1 Please watch mark rober's video. It's great anyway, so you should probably watch all of it, but if you want to see him swimming really close to sharks (not great whites though, I think they were tigers and bulls), he does exactly that towards the end of the video.

I think the reason most people demonize sharks more than any other predator is because we as human beings associate sharp triangular shapes with danger as well as sharks having a pretty intimidating appearance when compared to most fish in the sea.
More people are killed by cars than sharks, yet people keep driving 🤦🏻♀️. I love sharks, without them the oceans would die. Also....when you realise great white sharks have splash fights 😂. Thank you for a fascinating video about these amazing animals.
How often are humans around cars vs around sharks?
@@stanstanstan2597 People hang around sharks more commonly than you think, surfers off the coast of California meet sharks all the time, the surfers just don't notice. There are youtube channels out there that show how sharks could be as close as 6m away from surfers and they don't notice.
@@stanstanstan2597There is 70 million people in the ocean every day
Bull sharks are the most agressive though. I'll just avoid shark infested waters... I love science, and I love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Oceanic white tips are considered a very dangerous speices.
I'd just like to say thank you for consistently uploading well-researched, excellently illustrated videos that are informative, clear and interesting to myself and my children aged 7, 13, 18. This video in particular resonates as I live in Australia - Great Whites are such an important part of our ecosystem and it's essential they and other shark species are protected.
Thanks. Great to hear that you and your family enjoy my videos so much.
Yet again, SO much information! How you manage to fit all this information into a single video and still keep it interesting baffles me. Great job.
Thanks!

Just like to point out the inaccuracy, Shark fin super has been illegalized in China, and carries a pretty heavy punishment. (Source: Currently living in China for several years.)
Could you elaborate? I've only heard of it being illegal in government banquets. Since you're living there, do you have access to more information? Thanks
i am really afraid of shark for no good reason, but i can't stop smilling when you tell how smart they are :D
I'm a scuba diver and I love diving but I "was" terrified of the Great White shark until my wife bought me a bottle of "shark repellent body lotion." The first time I was going to use it, the label fell off revealing the original label underneath....A-1 Steak Sauce. Now I understand why she took out a multimillion dollar life insurance policy on me. She said: "what would happen to our children if something happened to you?"...we don't have any kids!
By the way, excellent presentation of the facts about sharks, particularly the Great White.
Your vids are really high quality and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time into the animations. Keep up the good work sir
So i always hear "you are more likely to get struck by lightning than be bit by a shark" but how do the ratios compare between lightning strikes to population vs shark bites to people who have been in the ocean? Like obviously shark attacks are rare, but most people in the world never even been near the ocean
Have you ever heard of beaches? Those are filled with people.
Truth, I think some of these videos, are not showing real numbers and ratios. And possibly making people a lot less aware of sharks and taking them for granted the numbers would never be even you can’t come up with a real ratio when one group is not participating in the other event on a regular basis
their curiosity alone is enough reason why i never go in the ocean.
"And as such, stand at the very top of the food chain in the oceans." -stares in orca-
Great white sharks are full of love and want to give kisses to humans when they see them but since they have sharp teeth they hurt humans by accident. This makes white sharks very sad
Aww poor sharks 😢
Remember folks.
It’s THEIR waters. We are the Squatters!!!
True diving / survivor mentality.
And they just make mistakes when they bite people. They rarely bite a second time
Actually its the orcas waters.
Sharks litterally swim for their lives if they even happen to hear a orca
@@hugovasquez8222 yup
Hugo Vasquez Sharks have swam the sea longer than than orcas and will likely swim the sea long after orcas.
Your videos are more interesting, informative, and visually attractive than most shows on netflix!!! Keep making videos these are seriously so awesome! :-)
People will defend sharks all day until one day they’re swimming, and a shark “curiously” comes up and rips through their flesh, leaving them open to further attacks.
Sharks are very important for our environment, if sharks are gone, the entire ocean would be dead to...truly sad how a misunderstanding and fishing leads to a catastroph😔😔
Is Aprex a new term like how BCE/ACE replaced BC/AD or just a typo? Your videos are so professional it honestly made me google it to make sure I wasn't misusing the word my entire life.
just a typo, my bad.
Invisableman111 btw it’s BCE/CE as in the modern era IS the common era it’s not after it, cheers!
@@Dell-ol6hb Thanks for the correction! Obviously I'm still pretty brainwashed by the original nomenclature I grew up with.
Sharks bite us because they’re curious? They be like “oh what is dis then nibble nibble.” And we’ve made them out to be killing machines when in fact they are adorable!
So if they’re hearing is so sensitive, why can’t a device be made that makes a noise in a frequency that they respond to like we respond to “nails on a chalkboard” sounds. Something that will act as a repulser to keep them away
Can't wait for the sick animations you will come up with in the Killer Snails video!
Aprex?
Otherwise - outstanding.
Typo!
Great white sharks are biggest predatory fish ever.
Killer whale: am i a joke to you?
Am i stupid

15:10 "Aprex", the next level of Apex Predators. Seriously though, awesome video
6:37 wouldn’t the average American be the perfect food source?
XD
Great Whites: "We are the top predator of the sea!"
Orcas: (taps on GW's shoulder) "We're still here. Boo!"
GWs: "Ahhhh! Craaaap!" (flees for their lives)
Orcas: (turns to camera) "Before we got here, there was also a shark called Megalodon. No more."
@@ahmadfaiz4416 Tell that to the orcas. They say:
1) a dozen of them attacking in rotation will kill anything, and they're faster, smarter, and have greater endurance than any shark, and they work in simultaneous 3d coordinated pack/flanking tactics with sonar
2) you don't have to kill the biggest ones -- you can wipe out the small ones and the big ones disappear automatically after a while
3) if you bite off the fins, the teeth don't matter, and if you bite out the gills, the whole fish is done, and...
4) if you don't believe us, look at what we still do to great whites anywhere, any time we like. Chomp and roll, baby; chomp and roll.
If you don't believe them, take it up with them. They seem pretty sure of themselves. The great whites also seem convinced enough that a whole population of them will flee an area if the orcas start in on them. There's even video and tag-tracking records of it happening.
I'm not saying they are telling the truth. I'm just saying they could do it, and that's how they remember it. Maybe they got the story second-hand. Still, to this day, great whites survive by staying out of Orca's way.
@@ahmadfaiz4416 That's the spirit! Analytically, you're probably right, but the way I tell it makes a good Story. It feels more alive if you imagine a current-day resident of the deep recounting the tales of their heroic ancestors.
With their huge, dense, complex, brains and oral folklore culture, maybe we can look forward to the day when some AI supercomputer can learn to talk/sing with the whales, and they tell us the tall tales of their histories in the seas.
Human culture -- even the oldest shamanic threads --- only goes back 70,000 years, and we have almost nothing left from before 12,000 years ago, just a few shadows and scribbles, handprints on a wall, unexplained pictograms of totem creatures.
Most of even our first advanced coastal culture is now under 30 meters of seawater, its evidence wearing away with the tides or forever buried in silt.
Imagine, then, the grand living literature of a continuous whale culture passed down in song for 10 million years with all the nuances and varieties that allows... that's a library I would love to wander through, if only I can comprehend its meanings :)
@@ahmadfaiz4416 ahh.. so many ways to die... and here's the funniest part: I'm currently working on boat designs to hopefully build one and go out to live on the sea. Maybe I can make an articulated kevlar plate armor scuba suit, with built-in emergency floatation device? :)

Thanks! I guess I did something right then.
Mark Rober did a video about sharks detecting blood, and he busted this myth
Note that wolves and bears are under 10 deaths per year aswell
I don't know where the statistic's for the wolves came from since non rabid wolves do not attack nor kill humans
Also snakes.
The common thing I hear is that if a shark bites you, they are checking to see if you are prey, most often harming surfers because the silhouette looks like a fish above them which you disproved.
Biting is not an uncommon way for top creatures to check on something. Heck, humans do it too, being mouthy is common for any curious species, but with a shark just being curious it's dangerous for us.
I view it the same as if our house cats were as big as big cats. A playful bite or angry bite that we are annoyed by would otherwise be fatal. Size is probably one of the bigger impacts to things like this rather than an actual taste for humans.
Well I'm quite happy to have learned a few more things about the Great White, since all time that I have some knowledge of this species, you had me surprise by telling and explaining some of the little tricks like
How work the warmth keeping of the shark ... And this is making a quite difference than some videos that telling stuff that everybody know even sometimes telling unreal stuff ... So just ... Good one and keep up the good work !

We need the "Shark King" movie and they would be the next clown fish
Wait, I meant lion
Great white Don’t see human as pray stop 🛑 making them monsters dude , But croc in the other hand is bigger , scarier and they see human as pray
after watching the movie crawl im never going anywhere near them. Because those were alligators imagine salt water crocodiles hell no fuck that.
人我是 only saltwater crocodiles will ever view a person as “prey” but only because they will literally eat anything they can kill. Fresh water crocodiles on the other hand are so docile when unprovoked that’s it is entirely possible to swim with them, as long as you do not disturb them they do not care
人我是 oh also crocodiles are both on average and on record smaller than great whites. Not by much but they are
