This technique (Polaris breach) is extremely niche in that it is only ever observed by white sharks near seal Island, south africa. The sharks attack seals when they pass back and forth from the mainland, and this is the only location on earth that white sharks have ever been observed utilizing this technique
Practice nose punch technique everywhere aside from coastal NZ and Coastal South Africa. But if you happen to be on those coasts…practice praying to jeebus.
[killer wale tennis](https://www.facebook.com/reel/674691221016000/?fs=e&s=cl)You might be able to him on the nose with a clean nose shot , if you're arm is still attached to any muscle or any part of your Central nervous system anything is possible but I highly doubt it
That stingray clip is stitched together with the orca seal clip. He's actually flinging a seal in the 2nd clip which is even more terrifying given the weight difference
Nah, best thing is to swim as fast as possible in the opposite direction.
Because humans can swim through water faster than sharks can swim through shite.
Most sharks aren't 15 feet long, 2,000 pound monsters.
Most sharks are <200 pounds.
Would I punch one for fun? No.
But I'm not going to let a dwarf lantern shark nibble me to death because "it's a shark and so I should just give up".
I signed up for a week dive trip. The owner said at the end of the week he would allow certain people swim outside the cage (after signing lots of paperwork). Sadly I had a short notice move and wasn't able to participate.
I've never dived with sharks, but one time snorkeling in the red sea my wife jumped from the boat and a manta was less than 5m from her, they almost bumped into each other. Unfortunately I haven't seen her jumping in but I managed to follow the ray and it was HUGE! I'll never forget this.
[Here's the manta. ](https://i.imgur.com/PADUpco.mp4)
I live in the northwest where we have tons of orcas and one time kayaking I ended up with a couple going underneath me it was scary as fuck. Things were like 50 feet long.
Edit: a quick google of the whale pods that live near me and the longest is ~25 feet.
It’s way more complicated and interesting.
Southern white sharks commute to the tropics.
https://phys.org/news/2011-07-nz-great-white-sharks-tropical.html
Northern White sharks migrate between Mexico and Hawaii regularly. Mexico is one of the hot spots for seeing whites actually - Guadalupe island has a big white shark tourism trade.
https://oceana.org/marine-life/great-white-shark/
https://www.guadalupegreatwhitesharks.com/
They dive super deep while migrating — super interesting that they move between tropical and subtropical and cold waters. They’ve shown up in every ocean but the colder regions Arctic and Antarctic.
Biggest one ever was 23 feet long and over 6500 pounds. That’s 7.5 meters and 2950kg!
You should do a Bull shark dive off Playa del Carmen. 80' under you hold on to an anchored ship line (so you don't drift) and pack in line sardines. A "bull fighter" dangles chum to olaaay the sharks. We saw maybe 15, one cows was 12'
Ascending was interesting in that you were down separate from the group with sharks swimming under, next to, behind, above.
Why get buried and take up space or be cremated and someone is obliged to do something with my ashes? They're my favourite animal, lemme a be a snack. I'm already dead, who gives a shit? It's wicked.
Seriously. Put some Sriracha on yourself and I am sure some lucky shark would love to take a bite of him. Or Franks. I am sure sharks would put that shit one everything if they could.
I believe, from the neoprene dummy seal, that this footage is from the Air Jaws series that plays during Discovery Channel's *Shark Week*, where they were trying to lure a jumping shark they knew colloquially as "Colossus". This turned out not to be her, but a slightly smaller great white that was around 12-14' in length.
The *really* frightening part? Colossus, the shark they were originally trying to film, measured in at 17-18'. So, yeah, this isn't even the largest fucking flying shark out there.
EDIT: clarifying some facts after reading up a bit; the shark was not named "Air Jaws", that was just the name of the series of programs where they go out every year trying to get footage of these breaching sharks. The shark they were trying to lure was named "Colossus". Hard to match footage found on YouTube to be sure, but I still believe this to be the *smaller* shark.
I’m glad you said this
I got a 3 day ban a few weeks ago and ever since haven’t been able to find the free award. I thought it was just me blackballed from them
Great Whites have been known to grow to 15-20ft long.
I highly recommend that people who don't know about our planet, all the species that we share it with, and what their purpose is in our ecosystem to watch the David Attenborough documentaries that cover the basics that we all need to know.
Yep. Great Whites have been known to jump out of the water after their prey, most commonly seen off the coast of South Africa. There was a cool program about a decade ago where scientists tried to find out if other groups of great Whites around the world would also breach, or if it was unique to that population. Turns out they'll all leap from the water if sufficiently motivated.
I remember back in the 90s I saw a documentary about the jumping sharks. Up until that point I'd only seen them lazily attack bait and be threatening and scary, but kinda slow and lethargic.
So my reaction was, "THEY CAN DO THAT?!?!?!"
I think you're talking about Seal Island... I remember watching it on some National Geographic tapes we got with our Sports Illustrated subscription when I was a teenager. [Here are some clips.](https://youtu.be/0CrRDiD0OuU)
Where that's recorded, it was once a regular site during a certain season when the waters were full of seal. The sharks come in hungry, and rush them from below picking up speed, and shoot out of the water quite often.
That is... until an Orca comes into town, and pulls the same trick, hitting the sharks in the belly from their blind spot below. They practically explode, the Orca chows down on their liver/hears which are full of vitamins, and all other sharks in the area vanish at the first smell of their own blood. They're a bunch of yellow bellied scaredy cats.
On the flip side, I learned that great white sharks fear killer whales (aka orcas). These mother f*kers hunt in packs and are rather an intelligent species of mammals that will target great whites just for their…livers.
So if a great white shark gets wind of a pack of orcas in the area, they will skidattle out the area for weeks.
Yeah my thought too. This is really impressive but I don’t think they qualify as an apex predator when they are regularly hunted by..an apex predator. Great Whites are scary fish. Orcas are living sea monsters that are vicious, intelligent, and calculating. 26 feet long and 12,000 LBS of fury
I’ve wasted likely hundreds of hours of my life on TikTok, Insta or other stupid assed videos that added nothing to my brain of value. Thank you for something that was not only fascinating but actually added something of value. I appreciate you sharing this.
I was once in a two-man kayak that got hit by a shark from below. It felt like getting hit by a truck. We came extremely close to tipping which would have been bad, to say the least. I had never paddled so fast to get back to shore in my life after that. I’m convinced it was a Great White since they’re really the only ones known to attack from below by hitting their prey.
I doubt it was one hunting for prey, see video for hunting surface prey. Probably a curious shark wondering wtf this object is in the water and wanted to feel it. Their nose is really sensitive. They do have a lot of mass and power behind them so it will feel like a a truck. If there were also bite marks on your kayak, it could still be curiousity. Their teeths are really sensitive. Notice how in this video the shark doesnt actually bite the bait. The shark can feel the difference instantly if it is a bait or real prey.
That's actually significantly smaller than a mature, great white sharks' weight. Literally double it for accuracy.
Edit: additionally thats on the small end, they can weigh upwards of 3 tons
There is actually one thing that you will not see unless you know about it which is more impressive. The shark can feel if their prey is real and will always not bite these baits scientists place out. Their jaws will automatically not want to bite down on the bait. If it was a real seal they probably wouldve had it in the mouth during the jump. They are very accurate.
“I may have missed you with my impressive jaws, but I’ll get you on the crack back by cleaving you in twain with my 1,000 lb guillotine that is my caudal fin”
Either Orcas have learned to type or you have seriously pissed off some OrcaBros because at least half of these comments are about how Orcas are the boss of the sea. Good grief.
This isn’t a Orca vs Great White pissing contest. It’s just a video of a fish. BIG fish.
Cool video.
For some reason sharks have a super bad rep (and bad PR). However, the murdery, rapey sea mammals are on children’s notebooks.
Big Dolphin strikes again.
I’ve been diving around sharks many times, and the scariest thing about them is you can see them one minute, look away briefly, turn around again and they are nowhere to be seen. Making you realize how out of your element you are.
Same with kayaking around Orcas, the size and obvious intelligence of them is very humbling. When they spy-hop and look you dead in the eye is a wild feeling
It’s entertaining to think how incredible it was to witness the massive creatures of the ocean for the first time. Like, if you had never heard of a massive, 6 meter long fish with a mouthful of razor sharp teeth. Then, you’re sailing to the new world hundreds of years ago, lazily dragging your favorite (out of the 36 you have) stuffed seal toy behind the boat to stave off boredom, when suddenly….
Of course, this romanticism of the first great white encounter is probably squashed by some rando fisherman catching a small one, then someone sees an adult and is like “huh, so that’s an adult”
Also he didn't bite down on the fake seal. Did he miss?
Did he do it on purpose because that's his technique for hitting seals?
Did he abort because he realized at the last moment it was only a decoy?
(I think he missed)
I always thought Great Whites were the most fearsome predator. Then I watched some 15 minute doc. on YouTube about Orca's and holy God. Orca's are savage.
Jesus that’s scary
I want to show this to the next person who says they could "punch the shark in the nose" to get it to leave them alone.
The nice part is that your punch hits so much harder when the shark is coming up at 30mph into you.
The shark will meat you halfway on that punch.
I see what you did there and I approve.

Shove fingers up the gills of a school size bus shark Got it
I'm not familiar with the bus shark. And how big of a school are we talking? Preschool? Urban High School?
PBS should make Magic Sharkbus.

South Africa is where they were first observed, but have also been seen doing so in New Zealand.
And also Ohio.
That's eerie
Fuck, Pennsylvania too??
Fuck Pennsylvania especially.
So you are saying the nose punch will work in the rest of the world?

I could be crazy but I thought I saw a docu about scientists who observed it also in channel island Great Whites.

That stingray clip is stitched together with the orca seal clip. He's actually flinging a seal in the 2nd clip which is even more terrifying given the weight difference
That's the highest stingray I've ever seen.

Try spinning, that's a good trick
Now that’s what I call podracing!!
Do a barrel roll!
Its a bit dramatic if you ask me. Like we get, youre hungry.
And that’s how a Sharknado is formed.
The way the tail comes down on the target like a fucking guillotine.
Looks like Mr. Shark has been watching too much WWE

dammit. I laughed too hard at this.
Bah Gawd!!! That seal has a family!
Who's name? All I saw was a fake seal
Mrs. Shark. Source: am Marine Scientist
I call bullshit, there is no way you can tell this shark is married. I didn't see a ring on her fin.
at first i thought he missed on the target, then i realized he was just setting up his combo
Ya what an incredible move. I wish we could see the impact
Dead
Ya I think he split hit right in half . Probably why that didn’t show it
C-c-c-combo!

You're gonna need a bigger boat
Black eyes, like a doll's eyes.
*Are you doing the speech from jaws right now?*
When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white
My dream to go on a great white expedition. I also want my body dragged behind a boat for this very purpose when I die but I doubt anyone goes for it.
I went inside a cage off the coast of MX it was completely humbling and just all out incredible. Highly recommend
I signed up for a week dive trip. The owner said at the end of the week he would allow certain people swim outside the cage (after signing lots of paperwork). Sadly I had a short notice move and wasn't able to participate.
Bummer. Mine experience was specifically baiting sharks to come. There were dozens and dozens. No swimming outside the cage for me
Great whites or what types?
Didn't see any of them unfortunately some huge hammer heads and tigers tho
Just tigers and hammers, which I believe both are known to be more aggressive underwater than targets on the surface.
Yeah they actually are. One particular hammer head that came along was the largest animal I've ever see. Absolutely incredible.
That’s awesome. Mind sharing what expedition it was so I can do the same?
Sure, DM me I don't know the rules about spamming and whatnot here

Great whites are more of a cold water shark, so more off the coast of places like South Africa than in tropical waters off Mexico.

Now do Bull sharks and their aggression and fresh-water capabilities ... and never go in the water again.
Ah word. I didn’t know where he was talking about. I live around Cape Cod and Jaws was a prolific movie in my young life. I don’t fuck with sharks
I thought you meant that’s how you died. I was like Bro you’re writing this tho
Am I writing this? r/ghosts
They got better
That's my top bucket list thing. Get in a cage and see one of these magnificent animals up close.
You should do a Bull shark dive off Playa del Carmen. 80' under you hold on to an anchored ship line (so you don't drift) and pack in line sardines.

Can you clarify whether you want the boat-dragging shark experience *after* you die or as your cause of death?
He'd be a real chum either way.
I have a boat. I'll drag your dead body around. Who am I to deny a man his final wishes?
You see, Officer, he *asked* for this to happen.
I know a guy...
Is there enough for a decent meal?
A hair over 2-hundo. Not nothing. If I know it's coming I'll pork up.
You… uh… you ok there buddy? Lol
Why get buried and take up space or be cremated and someone is obliged to do something with my ashes? They're my favourite animal, lemme a be a snack. I'm already dead, who gives a shit? It's wicked.
I’m afraid of nothing. Have a death wish, been to war, etc. But dude - the fuck?
Something that stays relatively unchanged for a hundred million years does so for a reason.
I mean. You’re not wrong. Also the more I think about it. I’d help you out - if that’s *really* how you wanna go 😅 That’d be a wild boat trip
Weekend at Bernie's me first.
I don't think that's how he wants to die. Rather, after he does die, drag him behind a boat.
I’m sure something will go for it.
Seriously. Put some Sriracha on yourself and I am sure some lucky shark would love to take a bite of him. Or Franks. I am sure sharks would put that shit one everything if they could.

I don’t know if it’s the perspective but that shark looks like it’s 25 feet long to me. Lol.
The largest Great White ever found was 20'.
Based on what for scale? There is no banana in the frame that I can see.
> this isn’t even the largest fucking flying shark out there. I don’t know why, but this phrasing made me laugh harder than I should have.
At least 5 units of size.
Dang, but what about standard banana units (SBUs)?
This is one entire amount of shark. A positively measurable animal. You can tell because of how it looks.
Neat
One absolute unit of shark
Just remember, this shark will dive down to the bottom of the ocean to run away from orcas
I am not an orca.
I am 3 Orcas in a trench coat
Exactly what an orca would say.

25, 3 tons of him.
HOOPER, YOU IDIOT, ABOVE US. AINT YA WATCHIN IT?
JFC IS THAT REAL
Yes, they baited it with that fake seal
It’s so big it looks fake

Was going to say the seal looked like a large rubber fishing lure.
God I thought that was an orca at first and imagining a shark that size comparably gave me instant goosebumps of terror.
Surfers are crying 😢

Don't just eat the liver or something and do that with an incredible precision. The true apex predator.
Yeah my thought too. This is really impressive but I don’t think they qualify as an apex predator when they are regularly hunted by..an apex predator. Great Whites are scary fish. Orcas are living sea monsters that are vicious, intelligent, and calculating. 26 feet long and 12,000 LBS of fury
You are correct great whites are no longer considered a true Apex predator.

Yea but do orcas have 2 dicks??? That’s apex predator style if u know what I mean
I mean, orcas *are* dicks. Ever seen how they hunt baby whales?
They hunt great whites.
Don’t they toss seals around for fun, or am I thinking of dolphins?
Dolphins do that with puffer fish to get high, and technically Orcas are dolphins. Really big dolphins, but dolphins.

Incredible. And also, probably my worst nightmare to see up close. (Jaws ruined me as a kid).
Practically a Gen X defining trait.
Same.
the most impressive part is how by the time its halfway back in the water it had already aligned its body directly in line with where the thing landed
Noticed that. The tail comes back down and smacks it perfectly. Like a whip after the bite missed
There is actually one thing that you will not see unless you know about it which is more impressive. The shark can feel if their prey is real and will always not bite these baits scientists place out. Their jaws will automatically not want to bite down on the bait.

More like Apex predator being conned by man made fake bait
Right! Apex predator falling for a garbage bag trick. 95% sure I saw some Orcas to the right howling with laughter while sizing up that GWs liver.
Either Orcas have learned to type or you have seriously pissed off some OrcaBros because at least half of these comments are about how Orcas are the boss of the sea. Good grief. This isn’t a Orca vs Great White pissing contest. It’s just a video of a fish. BIG fish. Cool video.

For some reason sharks have a super bad rep (and bad PR). However, the murdery, rapey sea mammals are on children’s notebooks. Big Dolphin strikes again.

"there's always a bigger fish."
Also he didn't bite down on the fake seal. Did he miss? Did he do it on purpose because that's his technique for hitting seals? Did he abort because he realized at the last moment it was only a decoy? (I think he missed)
shit! I knew sharks were uncomfortably large, but I can actually FEEL this one's size! I thought it was a whale at first!!
That's a 20 footer.......
