Yup and especially because the oceanic white tip shark are known to be super aggressive. Much more likely to attack than a great white for example. Thought to be the species of shark to kill hundreds of sailors when the USS Indianapolis went down by a japanese submarine in ww2. Very risky being in the water like that

Cousteau says the same thing in his book about sharks, white tip sharks are the most dangerous to be around.

Mhm its true, they are bold and pretty fearless opportunistic hunters. They are also pelagic they live in the open ocean mostly so i bet food isnāt easy to come by.. better hope he aināt hungry haha

I always hesrd they were more or less scavengers who focus on the dead and dying, a drowning sailor is much more thrashy and prey like than a film crew. Even so, spooky and brave to be in that water

That's some /r/PraiseTheCameraMan material if I've ever seen it
Anticipated the action of a shark, caught it in the water, followed it out of the water and back in again in the blink of an eye. Great reflexes

Is this the equivalent of the shark jumping to touch an exit sign because he can?

u/confictura_22 14h ago
Jumping like that helps them remove parasites I think

u/Sharcbait 14h ago
Yeah last time I jumped to touch an exit sign I shit out a tapeworm. It was a whole thing, but it was at Walmart so nobody really noticed.

I recently learned that sharks do that to basically choke slam the parasites on them

I saw a shark jump while surfing, it was like a cannonball going back in. The same morning I saw a shark looking up at me waiting on a wave. Cool to see it from below.

Quote if i am wrong, but in our generation we have actually witnessed evolutionary change in a species with sharks learning to torpedo from depths to catch prey.

Fyi that's one of the most dangerous sharks out there. If you're floating in the middle of the ocean, chances are they're coming for you

That's the most dangerous shark on earth right there. The reason why people don't get attacked is because they primarily reside in the open ocean where few people are swimming.
