Comments by "" (@CYMotorsport) on "Why The World Without Sharks Might be Your Biggest Nightmare" video.

  1. lol the amount of over correction in the comments is genuinely terrifying. It’s a predator. If food is scare, and it’s the right shark, your life is in danger. Circumstances dependent, like anything. They won’t want to eat you. And statistically the amount that ignore you makes it incredibly unlikely. But it’s prudent to not trust a curious bull shark to check it out. Much like how I wouldn’t let random dogs approach my pit bull on a walk. I trust. It’s the other dog I don’t trust to not react in a poor way or be untrained and make both dogs skittish triggering aggression. Saying it’s less likely than dying by falling coconut is propaganda put forth I imagine by oceanic white tips themselves. Go ahead and hop in the water at sea with a wide roaming shark like the white tip. They flock to our boat just to check out the commotion when we pick a spot after a while. Opportunistic predators are the ones you need to be vigilant of. No one said demonize them of course I’m with you there but their danger isn’t misunderstood just the risk of an encounter is - and an aggressive one at that. As a lifelong surfer, I’ve seen many and especially the uniquely frightening white tip while big wave surfing which I no longer leave the boat opting to watch ppl far more brave from safety. Sharks are r idiots. They won’t check out creatures in a cage or atleast waste too much energy. Unless you purposefully chum the water which wisely you didn’t. That o saw atleast. Plenty of sharks could care less about you, but the deeper you go or even depending on what part of the world, it’s a numbers game until you happen across one hungry enough to put you on the menu. If hungry enough and if the right kind, they will treat you exactly like they do other marine mammals. The chances of you stumbling on a hungry roaming one are tiny. You will not see surfers saying sharks aren’t worrisome be mindful of imbalance in your ecosystem or area where you are. If you can, do you homework before dropping in for a meaningful amount of time. This imbalance is nature in that area of the ocean you are in is what will drive a change in risk you should be aware of . As a surfer, I commonly keep surfing after seeing a shark, depending on type. It’s likely they aren’t hunting. And certainly not me. If I see them and I’m still alive, they’ve long clocked me and passed. So long as you don’t magically morph into a different form or unfortunately bc of happens confuse the shark say it you’re paddling, you’ll be alright. bc chances are, there’s SOME type of shark nearby regardless. If that scares you, don’t get in. Bc it’s inevitable. But don’t be an idiot and think they make squeaky noises. Or be fooled by clips of cage diving amongst a shiver. Metal is even less appealing to a shark than human. Different ball game floating around. Just be aware. Your most common you’ll likely actually see is a bull. If you can get out get out. But shark are much less likely to care about you if you’re sent splashing around being sketchy. Any that roam toward me in the past usually turn and dart off the moment you face them calm. They truly don’t want to mess with you. And again it if it’s a white tip and you’re in deeper water or something aggressive even for a shark and they are hungry, well there’s nothing you can do anyway
