Me too!! I'm not sure but I have an interest in doing marine sciences professionally.

she seems to be a really good teacher and really fun to hang around.

I wanna take her class too. I really like her, she seems so awesome!

@Matias Kylen creepy

You act like she's the only one

I want to be her best friend

Literally anything, even things she isn't an expert in.

No kidding! I love sharks and learned some new things based on the amount of details she added! I’d love to see her again!

The Shallow's script depicted a grizzly not a shark, sadly ruined early on 😤🤯😡

She’s got a level head about everything. I love it.

and soul surfer!! esp since it's based on a real attack!

haha especially the one where they go to space lol. concurrently get chris hadfield to analyse it aswell

Why do you hate her?!? :p Kidding aside, I agree with bringing her back.

Don't make her suffer

Raccoon Rat why would you do that do you hate yourself?

I'd be offended while sitting in the hospital. Telling all the nurses, "He spit me out. Can you believe that?! Me. He spit ME out! I bet I'm delicious!"

@@laurelmoore5604 "There's PLENTY of white tips and tiger sharks that want me!"

@@kissarococo2459 😂😂 I cackled at this

This thread is wholesome 😂😊

How DARE they spit out the limb they took a chonk out of me! - what a food waster!

Denticles 😂

@Toxicyz Omg really? I guess I need to watch Shark Week. I thought he made up a funny word for teeth. Lmao. 😂

@Downunder Rob I get your point. On the other hand living nowhere near a sea or ocean...

@Lana Fry Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper because it is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles.

The name is "Derma-dentacles" aka skin teeth but you are certainly right. They definitely need to reclassify it.

@Chaos Burrito That totally depends on the species and where you are swimming. I live in Australia and shark attacks do occur quite often because of the high density of sharks, we are a predominantly coastal society and the type of sharks found here are (22 of the 26 species that are identified as biting humans without provocation). Although I agree that not all sharks are deadly and there’s plenty of places to swim where it’s totally safe and the odds of a deadly shark encounter (let alone seeing one) is extremely low in those areas, but I definitely wouldn’t classify Great White, Bull, or Tiger as the type of shark that are more scared of you than of it. That’s just not true and potentially dangerous to think because while technically you are correct because the majority of sharks being harmless the types of sharks that do attack humans are not more scared of humans than us of them.

Good point about the media. What would our thoughts be if Jaws and a myriad of other shark movies had never been released?

@Chaos Burrito That's what shark attack victims thought

🤮🤮🤮

I'd love to see a disney animated marine biologist character like her.

I want to get a tshirt with that printed on it so that any shark or bear or other top predator will know I'm just not worth their time.

@@Auriflamme it's going to be perfect for the zombie apocalypse too lol

@@shhhh6174 lol good one!

Straws constitute virtually nothing to the amount of plastics to the ocean, and play, again, virtually no part in threatening marine life. It is a myth.

Lol!

That she is: Great fun to hang out with! Apryl is a blast-funny, charming and super-smart! 👍🏼

Saying a meg would be scared of a kid though??? That’s a little dumb

Don't call it an attack, call it a snack

That Shark he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes like a doll's eyes...

Yes, the head scientist in Deep Blue Sea; played by Saffron Burrows, had identified an enzyme which seemed to revive neural activity in humans, but like you said normal sized shark brains didn't produce enough of it. Strange that Boyle didn't address that.

Wayne Zimmerman same, I was thinking maybe she hasn’t seen that movie fully

She’s great!

Valerie also used her own lipstick to paint 'wounds' on a whites' snout to match Bruce's description in the screenplay.

Wasnt it also a smaller fake cage with a midget inside to mimic the scale?

The cage was scaled down and there was just a dummy inside, not a real person. But the footage turned out great, didn't it?

Indeed, Hooper dies in the book.

@Ben Fizz She didn't say they couldn't, just that attacking a cage like that is not a typical shark behavior. The comment here even notes that the shark damaged the cage because it was caught up in the line, not because it was trying to attack the cage. But SURE you know way more than a highly educated marine biologist

Her gestures and ways remind me of Diane Keaton.

Margaret Forsey I came here for this comment 😂

What you're saying might be true, but you know who ends up getting the jobs that are like that? People that didn't give up because someone told them how small their chances were.

Thanks. I really had a large interest.

That was a plot point of the movie they weren’t normal sharks they were genetically altered

That moment where Shark Boy and Lava Girl is a more accurate movie 😂 (For some reason, the part where Shark Boy describes how sharks always move forwards is very crisp in my memory)

@@ryno1509 It doesn't matter if they were genetically altered mutants, they're physically incapable of swimming backwards. All the scientists in the movie did was make their brains bigger. That's all they did. Sharks would need an overhaul of their entire physiology, not just a better brain. Like a rocket, they have no means of backwards propulsion. All they can do is change trajectory.

Deep Blue Sea is such a mindless, idiotic movie. It’s unfortunate that such a dumb film would infuriate you. It’s not worth an ounce of frustration. 😂

@@daughterofolaf I agree. Normally it wouldn't, but I majored in biology, specifically animal biology, and it just felt like a slap in the face. My BFF majored in geology, and she felt the exact same way after watching the movie The Core.

Thank you! This is my channel :)

El Porto Shark You have a fun and energetic way of teaching. Thank you!

@@ElPortoShark subbed!!

You hit the nail right on the head! The effects in Jaws still look spectacular today. over 40 years later and not one film has made a shark look better on film. Obviously thanks to the skill of Spielberg. But CGI sharks move like a cartoon. They look like moving so unnaturally and always looks cheap. In my opinion Jaws is one of the greatest films of all time. It's not only a great shark film, it's a masterful piece of film making.

Ron and Valerie Taylor (Australian shark experts) were the ones who captured the footage in the dive cage scene They filmed it off the coast of South Australia and used a very short diver in order to make the shark appear as large as the mechanical one used in the film.

That live shark footage was actually the first scene filmed for Jaws, nearly three months before Spielberg started filming on Martha's Vineyard. Richard Dreyfuss wasn't even cast at that point.

Haha that’s quite funny as Toni Collette is Australian. I guess you mean when she’s playing an American. I totally agree with you that she’s engaging and I think kids learn better when teachers are passionate and interesting.

@@Dan_Ben_Michael You reminded me of Muriel's Wedding.

That movie gave me anxiety. Lol

@@Countrytinker1991 Me too haha.

And the sequel with the blind sharks, just like the Meg should have been!

I was going to say that same thing...

Amanda Hays not often I see someone who spells their last name the RIGHT way! 😃

@@brianhays1797 yes. It is very rare!

Now you know to get right in front of a shark cuz they won’t see you. Let us know how that goes!

Bovine excrement xD

Yes true

I assume she was talking about the conventional US pronunciation. Thanks for sharing the origins of the word and the correct pronunciation :)

In the English language, it's pronounced may-ko.

Jessica Sparks exactly, people aren’t going to pronounce “chocolate” in the Spanish pronunciation while speaking English, in this case it’s just a cognate between Maori and English

@@johannd1013 I've been studying sharks the majority of my life and have NEVER heard Mako pronounced any differently. Also, if you look up Mako and copy the original name and put it into Google translate, it literally is pronounced "may-ko". So. Idk. There are a lot of pronunciations for just about every word and name.

Jessica Sparks yeah, I think you misunderstood my comment but I was agreeing with what you were saying, so cool

back then though I don't think its implausible that they wouldnt know what kind of shark it is. they arent reading books or studying marine life, just fishing

She has a KZfaq channel it’s called El Porto Shark

@@Puppetgirl93 that's not popping up for me
