16ft is near 5 metres.. that's a big shark and human look like a snack

People don’t understand how big 16ft really is I’m 5’10 barley a snack for a beast like that

Thanks Shark Nerd!

Considering that they can get burst of 40 mph in one sec . The power of the beast

They say the same shit about bears too and tigers but they will attack any chance they get

@@chesterswortham5197 not true, there is tons of drone video on KZfaq of great whites ignoring humans in Malibu. They don’t like ape meat, not when there is fresh seal about. There is a dedicated channel to drone videos of great whites in Malibu seen from drones, they don’t attack unless you look like a yummy seal.

@@12time12 good why do you go to mabliue and swim with them

You don’t call 1 in 300,000,000 rare? Jeez, you must get struck by lighting all the time

@@Alex-co7cq the odds are 1 in 300,000,000 million if you go to the beach and sit on a beach chair. Or go in up to your ankles like 99% of beachgoers. If you go swimming in deeper waters in prime white shark hunting habitat, you are playing russian roulet.

Big brain take.

Straight to the bottom

thats a conspiracy theory. they are rare 😂

@@galaxytraveler5779 well, Florida is now the bite Capital of the world 🌎 For great whites 🦈 according to stats. More than California and Australia 🦘 🤷🤦🙎 So I'll just agree to disagree with you.

@@mitchroberts6096 i was only kidding. But even more shark attacks than new jersey? Or was that an isolated thing back in 1916?

Because there more people in the water, more media attention and we’re over fishing. Still incredibly rare. Not sure where you’re getting an “alarming rate” from lol.

@@Alex-co7cq thank you,yes . They have been adapting because of lack of food.They are evolving to hunt and feed on humans.

I can't but feel that that 'statistic' must have originated from the I.D.N. * * I.D.N.? Institute of 'Dodgy' Numbers!

Yeah.... where did they pull that number from???

16 Ft is the size of a house!!!

its like 16 large adult male foots

Really??? I'm 6 feet X 2 = 144 + 48 inches = 192 inches.

👍👍😂👌

It's a report by a woman, for women. Be nice. Also, you can swim at Morrow Bay 300-million times before you'll be attacked by a shark.

Good thing I didn’t have a mouthful of coffee reading your post as I would have spewed it out laughing 👍👍👍😂

Yep, that expert is a real Sherlock Holmes, alright.

LMAO !!!!

🤣

😂😂

Never ever under estimate Sharknado or Landshark. Also mudfish can be dangerous on land.

That part.

I somehow doubt it's 20:1 considering I and everyone I know have been in the water many many more times than 20 and have never been attacked. But yes, probably more like 1000:1

Lmaoooo!!

Enter 'self' onto their menu,... Sharky, "Hmn".

I’m only familiar with the “Kiss From a Rose” one.

Common sense is being smart enough to not risk your life for a bit of temporary fun! LOL Surfing is highly overrated. Life risking adventure activities is not my idea of fun! I'm happy to stay on the beach or hang out by the pool. I feel sorry for the guy but he risked his life just for a bit of fun, gambled and lost. I value my life way too much to put myself at risk like this.

A 50 year old surfer was also attacked by a shark a few years back just 5 or 10 miles south of morro bay as well in Montana de Oro. I think there was also another fatal shark attack in the 60s in Morro Bay while a Cal Poly student was swimming pretty far out.

I wonder if all shark attacks are reported

U mean might be

​ @Ali Syed "Might" is implied in all hypothesis presented. The first six words of my comment makes it clear I am presenting a hypothesis, the word "imagine" in particular shows this is a theory I am curious about. "Not" is used properly. In this particular instance it is used to convey that there is room for doubt in the theory presented. That it does not appear as if the presenter is completely convinced that their hypothesis is 100% correct. I know younger generations didn't have to learn proper English, writing that conveys the full meaning of the thought process, or anything about locality dialects. Most can't even spell words correctly relying instead on anagrams, or incorrect phonetics. Nor can they construct proper complete sentences, with adjectives , conjugated verbs etc. Basically they have dumbed down basic education, because the under performers set the bar so low (because it was unfair they were asked to work harder), that even the highest performing students received poor educations. I suggest you read some books from the earlier years of the last century, to see for yourself how proper writing was done. But.... Now that you have proven 1. That your reading comprehension is poor, or 2. You can't recognize or perhaps don't even know what a hypothesis is, or perhaps how they are properly constructed, don't you feel stupid for trying to correct me? Hopefully for you it's actually no. 2 because ignorance can be remedied. There is no cure for stupid.

The KZfaq channel called Sharks Happen will make you believe that there are far more incidents and attacks that the public is never made aware of. I am not afraid of the water. Never have been outside a healthy, realistic fear, and respect for mother nature. Now I feel a bit more forewarned and extra cautious. Shame because I love swimming. And floating.

@@tomsenick2033 follow "Sharks Happen" Hal has all the shark attacks that are reported really interesting.

This is one of those situation where i feel i cannot blame the surfer, he was just unlucky. We not gonna stop driving just due to fear of accident? But definitely know when your beat in these scenarios and always let your close people know where you're heading when you're alone.

Lol

He saved a beached whale! God bless him!

Exactly, these statistics crap, perfect example of bad statistics.

Well, there's that rare Alpen Shark. Just be vigilant is all I'm saying.

As an Australian I can tell you that most of us have been attacked by a shark 🦈

@@FarTooFar Thanks, gotta be careful of mistaken identity, from below, those skis look just like a seal !

@@xxxneoxxx Strewth! That's one angry shark 🦈

I use to surf in 98-00 in Morro Bay. I finally saw one while I was out and I never returned again.

This is what it said

Very true. But if humans were predominantly sea creatures, I bet sharks would kill more humans than deer and cows.

@@socialdistancejusticewarri8533 Very true. But if humans werent stupid, They wouldnt have voted for Biden

Yes. I don't doubt that you are right. It's just that, with the best will in the world - and however far I attempt to stretch my particularly fertile imagination - I can't imagine Peter Benchley writing a book with the title of 'Horns' - or 'Antlers' for that matter - or people 'queuing round the block' to watch a film - make that several films - based on the original book. 'Just sayin' '

Really ? I would never figure that ...wow!

@@petergleave7807 Now now. back in the day books were titled "The Birds" , by A Hitchcock, "Them" about mutant ants in the nuclear test fields of Nevada, "Cujo"S King about a rabid dog, "The ghost and the Darkness" about killer lions. etc etc. Just sayin

They are prob all Dem voters

Better than going to work. 👉

You live a sad, miserable life 😂

@@nomadnomad8571 if you'd rather get eaten* alive by a great white than go to work, you should get a different job! Work sucks, but getting eaten alive by a great white shark should be worse.

Who cares, this is natural selection and mother nature at her finest. you only live once and whenever you enter a habitat where you now become apart of the food chain you should already be aware of the risks.

@Pat Luxor wrong. We are just a worthless cosmic fluke.

Sharks don't own shit. They are always just swimming around.

@Pat Luxor As written in a book of total fiction.

@Pat Luxor Wrong!!

@@LaurenThompsonIsMyRealName Go swim somewhere where sharks have been spotted, and the sharks will own you!

Invited ourselves to their menu.

If those sharks are American you had better ensure that you have permission to enter 'their home'. I mean to say: If you haven't, you could wind up with them shooting you dead in the mistaken belief that you are a burglar!

Everybody pisses in the ocean ...maybe that's why the sharks are coming in closer to shore .. 🌴😭

That's Carlos - The Malibu Artist's KZfaq channel. His videos are really excellent and I highly recommend them as providing a very different insight into the behaviour of Great Whites - or, at least, that is, juveniles of the species - mere sprats of eight to ten feet , or so. Sadly, it appears that adult White Sharks (16 feet or bigger) have the appetite, hunting skills honed by years of experience, and speed and agility to make the transition from hunting bottom-living rays to seals - and, occasionally (and opportunistically) humans. It does seem probable, however, that contrary to the sensationalist image of G.W.Ss. as portrayed in the 'Jaws' series of films, this species does not habitually regard humans as a primary prey species, preferring, instead, blubber-rich species such as seals. Of course, on this basis, any human 'land whale' clad in a black wetsuit choosing, of their own free will, to go for an invigorating 'dip' in the vicinity of a seal colony would be tantamount to wilful suicide and would unquestionably result in the ensuing Coroner's report on the death as a deservedly justifiable verdict of 'Suicide while the balance of her / his mind was disturbed' !

@@petergleave7807 I also watch Sharks Happen channel. You’re probably already familiar with Hal and know he’s a great resource. He debunks a lot of so-called experts’ info.

@@gabe-po9yi Hi, Gabe, I have to admit that I very rarely watch Hal's Sharks Happen channel - I suppose not more than 1 in 300,000,000 views of other KZfaq channels, I guess. However, I certainly would no more consider swimming in an area known to be frequented by Great White Sharks than I would choose to go for a walk in any jungle in Northern India known to be the home of tigers, even despite knowing that the likelihood of actually being attacked by a representative of these two species is very rare indeed. Frankly, my conclusion regarding Hal's motivation for producing his videos is that it seems almost diametrically opposed to Carlos's in that the former seems to have a particularly morbid fascination for the potential for human disaster associated with sharks in general and White Sharks specifically. My personal view regarding the latter species - for what it's worth (admittedly not much!) - based on my having watched many of Carlos's videos, is that - of course - White Sharks occasionally visit British coastal waters, but the very fact that there have been no recorded attacks on humans by this species since records began proves that they pose no significant threat to humans; if they did, the beaches of Clacton or Blackpool would prove irrisistable temptations for this species. A far-more-plausible 'Apex predator' shark in the context of the seas around Great Britain would be - seemingly implausibly - the Greenland Shark, which is a major predator of seals in Hardangr Fjord, Norway, as well as seal colonies off the coasts of North West and North East U.S.A. Take a look at the British Channel 4 Nature Shock series episode featuring this species of shark - you'll find it on KZfaq - to get an idea of just how potentially dangerous to humans this deceptively slow-moving and 'sleepy' this very large shark (eighteen feet +) is. Interestingly, (in a rather sinister way) there have been a number of reports of seal carcases being washed up on the beaches of the N.E. of England bearing strange vertical deep cuts along their flanks which appear to have been inflicted by boat propellors or steel cables. As the Nature Shock documentary on the Greenland Shark proves, this type of wound is characteristic of how this species strips the blubber from a seal with a highly distinctive sawing,bite. Of course, Greenland Sharks lack the menacing presence of a White Shark, and no amount of reconstructive surgery by even the most accomplished surgeon specialising in the field of bodily enhancement could possibly elevate this species' image to the point where it would be able to step into Jaws's tail fin. It's almost tragic when you come to think about it, I mean: life can seem almost unbearably unfair at times!

@@petergleave7807 Very interesting about the Greenland shark; I’d never even heard of them.

If the first bite doesn't consume you whole, then it will try again

White sharks are lone hunters and there was a satelite tagged shark in the Morro Bay area named Poe Girl, a 17 ft female. Was she the culprit?

One nip is an exploratory nibble, two bites is LUNCH!!!

@@markmailander3880 there's evidence to the contrary, white sharks may sometimes cooperate or, at the very least, target the same prey item. A 15 to 17 ft white isn't unusual, rather upper end of average size for a relatively young female, although sizeable for a male. Even if it were the tagged shark, nothing, could, would or should be done. It's just a risk that ocean users take, and rarely fall foul of 👍

1 for Pelosi and 1 for Harris ...they gonna love it . Can you picture Pelosi on a surfboard ? Biden on a boogie board ?? 😂

And not in the afternoon.

Morning noon and night. Got it.

And don’t dress up in a seal costume and go surfing.

One day ...😳

Like winning lottery there’s a chance your get bit there why bother swimming with these things when you could be unlucky

And every one of em are justified. Stay out the water or buy a pool

I dont believe that estimate. What are the odds if you go swim in a shark tank at feeding time? The answer to that is more accurate I think. Why calculate the number of people that will step into the ocean for the figure.

Navy diver and I call B.S!

@@mitchroberts6096 thank you for your service sir

So people can't go anywhere animals live? That's what ur saying? So don't go in the woods don't go in the ocean anywhere an animal resides people are at fault if they go there. U must live one pathetic life. So what happens if a shark gets to close to shore and becomes beached, he's now in our world and according to u he shouldn't be there so we can do whatever we want to him because he's now in our domain. Get a life

@@caitlinkilkenny9433 spoken like a true IDIOT...but I see you're a woman , so I know you are. It's called common sense. Ever heard of THAT ? People have ways of protecting themselves in strange places but against a SHARK ...not so MUCH...hopefully you won't have to find out the hard WAY...but that isn't very likely..

Really? What if it was one of your friends or family members? Pretty lame comment kid.

Believe you me, whenever I'm contemplating the possibility of a 'dip' in the sea, it always gives me 'Jaws for thought'!
