WEBVTT - How Shark Attacks Work 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.920 Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray. 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.360 It's ready. Are you welcome to you stuff you should 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:16.280 know from house Stuff Works dot com. Hey, and welcome 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.120 to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark with me as always 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:24.040 as Charles W. Chuck Bryant and uh, this is stuff 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.280 you should do. That's right. A Shark Week edition. Week edition, 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.000 Happy Shark Week, Chuck, Happy Shark Week. In honor of 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.760 Shark Week, I got you a little present. Wow. Yeah, 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.240 what is that? It's the jabber Jaw DVD box set? 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.519 Oh is it? That's awesome? Thank you. Yeah, I was 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.600 going to get you speed Buggy. Um. If I am correct, 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.680 then this should be coming out the Thursday before Shark Week. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.960 Oh good time. Yeah. So Shark Week actually starts in 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.680 three days on Sunday. I'm so embarrassed that I give 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.000 you president early. That's okay, okay, we we like to 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:06.199 open on Christmas Eve. Here. Um, are you're doing okay? 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.800 You're feeling good? Yeah? I thought that we wouldn't be 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.959 able to find anything here to do on sharks, but 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.600 we never really covered specifically shark attacks. Yeah. I think 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.399 it's high time we did, because I think that, Um, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:26.480 thanks to a growing, growingly, increasingly enlightened, populous, sharks are 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.679 losing a lot of the bad rap they had for many, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.600 many years since. And I feel like we're here to 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.039 kind of help hasten that along a little bit and 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.640 strike fear into your heart. Well, yeah, it depends this. This 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.720 This is going to be kind of a roller coaster ride, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.640 because this article is a roller coaster ride. We're talking 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.880 about how shark attacks work, um, and we should say 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.160 first and foremost, right off the bat, that you can 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.840 make a pretty good case almost all shark attacks are 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.320 cases of mistaken identity. Yeah. I don't know if this 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.640 is a real stat but um, Gary Atkinson, who is 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:10.040 a diver more a big just big mistakes more usually 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.520 indicates not a real stat probably, but I bet it's 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.320 pretty high because, especially when it's contained in a book 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.760 that has an exclamation point in the title. Sharks don't 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.520 like people that were not fatty enough for them. They 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.279 don't seek us out, they don't like the way we taste, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.200 and when they bite us, they probably think we are 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.720 a big turtle or a sea lion. That's just that's 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.720 what's going on. And when you look at the photo. 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.520 Was it bioluminescence we talked about looking up from the ocean. Yeah, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.160 and you see the silhouette, a dude on a surfboard 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.160 or a lady on a surfboard looks an awful lot 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.920 like a sea turtle or a sea lion. Yeah. If 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.320 you're interested, go to how stuffworks dot com and type 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.640 in how sharkitects working. On the first page, there's a 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.959 pretty cool little illustration of how a surfer looks like 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.600 a sea turtle or or a sea lion. I wouldn't 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.280 know what the spinning image. The point is is by 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:06.320 looks you, you may look like a sea lion. Once 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.080 the shark figures out that you're not, however, it's probably 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.880 going to leave you alone. The great white, we should say, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.720 But of course it may be too late. At that point. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.160 In between those two points, the sharks gonna bite you, probably, 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:24.040 especially if it's a great white. Um. That's pretty much 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.040 the number one reason for shark attacks, like we said, 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.040 is you are confused for another food source. Um. And 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.920 if it is a great white and you are bitten, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.400 and it will probably leave you alone and not come 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:42.600 back right And depending on the severity of that first bite, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.040 that test bite as they call it um, which a 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.200 could be um I think your food or be apparently uh, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.360 there's a food chain of sharks. Even well they were, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.040 they will like bite another shark to say, did get 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.400 away from me? And I know I didn't hurt you 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.000 that bad because your shark. But if you're human, all 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 of a sudden your midsection is missing. That's another explanation 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.520 for shark at texts. Aggression. Yeah, if the sharks are 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.000 if they are just kind of messing around with one 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.960 another when they do it to you, that hurts confusion. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.719 Um aggression. Hunger is another one too. And if you're 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.440 like say a spear fisherman, and you're just laying waste 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:27.440 to like a school of fish coco cocoon, cocoon, right, um, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.039 and the fish are flapping around, they're bleeding, you have 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:37.119 two huge stimulus. There's a stimuli. Yeah, man, this whole 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.320 bailout just screw me up. Man. Um that the sharks 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.120 can pick up that are that they are specially designed, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.360 if you believe in intelligent, designed to pick up um 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.760 blood in the water, and they can smell that stuff 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.280 for miles, dude, for miles, and I couldn't find any 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.680 actual real stat on that. I think I've seen like 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.640 another one of those sharks stats which are always a 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.839 little hinky, which is like they can smell blood, like 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.320 a drop of blood for five miles or something, right, Yeah, 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.400 but they can they can they smell some blood. They 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.960 can smell some blood. Yeah. The other way that they're 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.479 being attracted is the fish flapping around actually generates electrical impulses, 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.359 and the shark have an organ called the ampullae of 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:25.120 Lorenzini you should say this chuck, which is basically a 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.840 series of tubes that are connected that connect the exterior 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.560 of the skin with um electricity or electrical sensing cells. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.039 That basically it's another way of sharks detecting movement prey. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.360 It's on the snout. So when you have a bunch 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.920 of fish dying that it's going to attract the shark. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.240 And if you're standing in the middle of it, the 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.760 shark is not really gonna care what you look like 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.000 or what you're doing. There's just so worked up it's 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.039 gonna bite you and confused. Maybe, uh, what I learned 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.240 from the sharkles you don't want to confuse the shark. No, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.119 and you don't want to be standing in the middle 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.760 of their um, their prey, like a big massive their 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.400 prey um. And also too, I know we're pointed this 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.320 out before in the I think, how to defend yourself, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:14.640 but the Apulia Laurentzen gonna bunch that one. It's in 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.400 the snout. So that's why they tell you to like 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.280 trying head butter, punch the shark in the mouth. Now 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.880 you imagine get taking a sock right to the electrical cells. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.040 I can't imagine delivering that punch, like having the wherewithal 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.040 to be like, oh, I'm supposed to punch you, now 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.520 I'm missing an arm. I think you. I think you 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.960 might surprise yourself. You just react. If you have a 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:41.360 healthy ego, then you would. Yeah, you'd probably punch that shark. Um. 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.840 I don't. You can't say that. You just haven't been 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.200 put in any life threatening situations yet. Okay yet, alright, 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.919 so hold on, hold on, there's another good explanation for 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:56.080 why sharks attack defense. Oh they feel threatened, Yeah by humans. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.120 Oh the divers that tug on the nurse sharks. Yeah, 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.200 the nurse sharks a big one that likes to attack 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.599 when somebody pulls on its tail. Yeah, and why people 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.599 do this, I don't know, but apparently the nurse shark 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.800 is kind of funny and that it sort of will 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.160 be still at the bottom of the ocean and it 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.400 wears a wig and the old nurses cap because you're like, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.240 I gotta push that thing around exactly. But apparently there 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.080 are some divers who like, well like tug on their 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.280 tail because they think it's just some harmless game, and 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.240 then they find out that the hand because the nurse 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:32.720 shark is generous with its bite, right. Um, so because 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.240 of jerks like that pulling in a nurse shark tails. Um, 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.800 there is a division in the statistics of shark attacks 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:47.760 provoked and unprovoked jerks and what the heck happened? Or 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.040 stupid people and what the heck happened? Why do you 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.880 provoke a shark? Um? So let's talk about what goes 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.680 down with the shark attack. Okay, here's the fair warning part. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.440 We're going. Um, we has been climbing a hill, now 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.920 we're about to go down the hill. There are roller 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.880 coaster ride Okay, okay, um, well what yeah, this is 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.280 when you have fear? Should I read the Jaws thing? 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.200 If you want, I might as well. Okay, all right, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.320 this is Quint from Jaws. The thing about a shark 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.520 is he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls eyes. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.360 When he comes at you, he doesn't even seem to 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.600 be living until he bites you, and those black eyes 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:33.520 roll over a white and then dot dot dot, Thank you. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.000 You're the rich little of this podcast. That was not 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.440 a good Quint, but that's what it is. In my 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.760 top ten, used to be in my top five all 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.480 time movies. Jaws. Yeah what knocked it out? I don't know. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.439 Just over the years, you know, things built up. Jaws 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.440 falls behind a little bit. Yeah what what knocked it 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.079 out of the I don't know specifically what knocked it out? 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:56.600 I'm sorry, but Jaws circuits was what of it was? Um? 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.600 I mean every time this movie is on, I will 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.160 watch it and I do not get sick of It's 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.080 one of my favorites. So here's where we scare the 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.640 crap out of you, because usually you will learn that 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.439 you are being attacked by a shark by getting run 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.160 into by a car, is what some people have said. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.800 It feels like it depends again, it depends on the shark. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.760 So we should point out The three most deadly sharks 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.360 are great whites, tigers, and bull sharks bulls. If you 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.400 get hit by what feels like a truck, it's probably 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.079 a bull shark. If all of a sudden you're missing 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.760 an arm, it was probably a great white or possibly 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.360 a tiger. But it seems like bulls and tigers are 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.120 the ones that bump you first, and the great white 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.920 takes the test bite. Yeah, and bulls are known to 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.439 for being one of the more aggressive as far as 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.000 like usually a shark will bite you and then kind 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.480 of leave you right and the bull shark will is 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.000 one of the only ones that will come back repeatedly. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.480 Or someone's trying to save you, they might attack them. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.400 They'll they'll hang around a little more than I'm comfortable 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.080 with one are the other big problems with the bull 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.520 shark is that they attack in shallow water. Ye, so 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:06.640 if you see a bullshark, just run um. So what's 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.400 going on here with the test bite, Well, a could 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.880 be a test bight b When they feed on like 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.280 a sea lion, they don't just go in there and 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.280 like feed on it like a frenzy until it's all gone. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.720 They bite it and then let it bleed to death, 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.480 and then once the animal is dead, then they'll go 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.640 an inchow down. So pretty frightening if you're a person 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.400 it is. So you're saying that, Um, it's like getting 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.640 hit by a truck. Let's say it's a bullet shark attack. Um. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:38.000 That's a quote from Don Shauman, who was pregnant as 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:43.320 a lifeguard when she was attacked in Florida. Um. And 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.680 she survived because she wrote a book about it. Another 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.000 person who wrote a book, I believe uh is surfer 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:54.720 Kenny doot doo u d t do. And he was 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.760 doing his surfing thing in nineteen seventy nine in Oregon. 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:03.559 I didn't know you surfed Oregon. Yeah, sure, surf Oregon. Well, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.000 I mean you got to have the wet suits. It's 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:11.520 cold outher but it's cold in southern California too specific. Yea. Anyway, 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.360 Kenny Do was surfing and all of a sudden, Um, 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.839 he was a shark. This is probably a great white 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.920 because all of a sudden he was in the jaws 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.640 of a shark and it had it had him and 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.160 his surfboard in its bite, and the surfboard probably saved 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.320 his life because that shark was originally trying to like 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.880 that because he couldn't get that full bite down. He's 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.520 apparently very determined, and he kept trying and trying for 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.080 about twenty seconds. By Duke's testament, dude was totally out 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.079 of the water. He was pulled under the water and 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.880 the shark couldn't get him under because again the surfboard. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.199 So he lived another day. He lived to see another day, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.800 although he said that the doctor who fixed him up 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.200 um stopped counting his stitches when he reached five hundred, 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.520 which is a pretty patient doctor, but also kind of lazy, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.880 like why do you get there and just be like, oh, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880 you know what, forget it? He yeah, he took them 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.560 all out at about two fifty because he forgot where 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.559 he was and started over. And this is the guy 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.679 that said he heard his like ribs breaking right, all right. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.640 You have to remember people, roller coaster. This is extremely rare. Chuck. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:24.560 We talked about how like the great white feeds bite, 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.760 leave you to blie to death, come back and feed 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.280 on you. Um. We talked about the bull shark. It 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:35.400 hits and then circles, hitching in circles, and then eventually 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.160 it's gonna bite you and like you said, like it'll 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.520 attack somebody coming to try to rescue you. The tiger 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:46.600 shark is um one of the deadliest ones, especially in 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.920 the deep sea. Um. Apparently they like to pick off 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.560 the week and the wounded like um, and they'll circle 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.000 for a while and then they'll bump and then they'll bite. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.959 And there's this very famous story of the U S 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.120 sus Indianapolis that was sunk in the Pacific in nineteen five. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.679 The story quintells, Oh, yeah, he was one of the dudes. Okay, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.320 this character Okay, not Robert Shaw right, um, although, man, 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.280 that would have been some serious would it be method 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.880 or character? I don't even know real life? Yeah, I 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.679 guess it's not even acting. Um. So in in nine 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.480 Indianapolis Thanking, a thousand crew members survived the sinking, but 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.240 by the time the rescuers showed up a few days later, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.720 there were only three seventeen men left thanks to shark attacks, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.880 and these tigers were just circling them and like, according 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.560 to quinn story, which is pretty accurate, just like you know, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.880 you'd be talking to a guy and all of a 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.360 sudden he's gone and you're just waiting, and it didn't 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.640 get called in because it was wasn't it They were 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.400 delivering the bomb? Oh right, yeah, is that right? They 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.120 were delivering the bomb, which is why it was such 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.960 a top secret operation. And because it was top secret, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.760 it didn't get called in and reported missing for like 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.360 a couple of days. Even so, it was pretty scary stuff. Yeah, 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.280 all over, So that means that there's a undetonated nuclear 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.000 bomb at the bottom of the Pacific. Actually, I don't 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.920 know that part. I would guess. I mean, if they 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.400 were delivering it and it was sunk, I have to 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.720 look into that or maybe that. I don't think Steven 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.960 Spielberg made that up. I think that's real. Yeah, it's 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.720 definitely in the movie, though Steven Spielberg is not known 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.800 for making things up. What there's like aliens et s. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.520 So you did say something kind of important here about 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.840 um Finally, tiger sharks out in the deep sea are 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.960 a little more dangerous. Most people get attacked closer to shore. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.480 And that doesn't mean you should be afraid because close 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.200 to shore is dangerous. It's just because that's where the 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.920 people are. Yes, you know, so most people don't swim out, 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.240 you know, in the the middle of the deep blue ocean. Yeah, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.680 this guy wouldn't know. Well, that's the that's part of 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:02.560 the point. Um so um, back down another another hill. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.200 It's a little bit a little bit scary now because 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.200 we're gonna talk about what happens during the shark attack 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.640 or what the shark attack does to your person. Well, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.280 one surgeon who operated on a teenage surfer in Australia 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.200 said that when her leg was lopped off, he described 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.880 as guillotine like. So it can be very swift in 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.400 the case of a limb, and very clean, and all 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.160 of a sudden there's just no arm there anymore. Forty 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.920 pounds of pressure per square inch with his teeth, the 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.520 size of a shot glass. If you listen to Richard Drynus, 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.720 that's what he says in the movie. I okay, have 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.280 you ever seen johs Okay, I don't know if I 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.240 if it was ever in my top ten, it's like 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.160 up there for sure, it's such a great movie, But 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.240 I don't okay. I can recognize when you say things 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.480 like quint and size of a shot class, shot class, 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.920 and okay Cooper and all that stuff. Do you remember 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:05.520 what Roy what's his name? Yeah, what his character was, 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:13.880 Chief Brodie he dream brody uh noady Um. So if 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.560 you don't lose a limb, you're probably gonna get like 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.000 a large piece of your flesh removed, like from your thigh, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.320 from room mid section or something like that. Yeah. Usually 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.600 if you're getting a type by a good size great white, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.920 it's gonna get you in your midsection. Like you said, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.240 uh and uh. You may end up like a guy 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.680 named Rodney Fox who was a spear fisherman who was 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.960 attacked near Adelaide, Australia, nineteen sixty three and basically he 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.520 was bitten from shoulder to hip and a lot of 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.480 them was missing after that. Have you seen pictures of 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.920 that guy? Yeah? I did when I researched the shark 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:47.800 stuff a couple of years ago. It's like a shark 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.680 bite missing from him. Yeah, like a little crescent and 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.120 out of the side of him. I don't know if 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.600 little is the right word. Well, yeah, it's not little. Yeah, 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:59.360 that's a pretty startling time life photo. I think you're 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.920 probably gonna die by bleeding to death because you're gonna 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.760 be suffering from massive amounts of blood loss at this point, 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.840 and by the time you get into shore and get 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.440 someone there to help you, it's maybe too late. So 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.479 having someone on shore that can stop the blood is 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.119 like really key to your survival. Um. And there's a 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.840 kid who was attacked off Cape sam Blasts in two 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.240 thousand five who was saved because the doctor and a 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.800 nurse happened to be on shore on vacation and they 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.240 stopped the bleeding by putting pressure on this leg, which 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.240 I assume was where the shark bit him. Yeah. Um, 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.600 but if you're in cold water, you actually have something 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.600 in your favor and that the cold water is going 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.920 to slow down your physical processes, so including your blood loss, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.800 so you'll you won't waste as much time in the 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.840 trip to shore, right, So I guess the Pacific Ocean 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:59.280 would be a little better in Oregon surf Oregon. Um. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.480 And then another thing, you're gonna run into his infection 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.800 because you just got bitten by a shark and you 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.160 rolled around on the beach and people were touching you, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:11.040 and um, you know they're teenagers and lifeguards and stuff 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.920 like that, and they're all dirty and you might get 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.359 an infection from it. That seems like it could be 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.440 the least of your worries. But can you imagine though, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.600 like surviving the sharks pipe and then dying from an 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:28.280 infection from it, especially in this day, and it's very sad. Okay, So, um, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.879 we've got the We talked about the three deadliest types 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.720 of sharks, um, the tiger, the bowl and the great white. 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.280 Well there's a reason, um, And they're actually like they 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.240 kind of fly in the face of the idea that 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.640 they're deadly because they want to kill you and your 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.760 whole family and they would come into your house at 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.840 night if they could, which is the prevalent view of sharks, 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.800 where it wasn't at least until about five years ago. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:58.560 But these things are extremely widespread. You can find them 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.040 all over the world. Um. They're big enough so that 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:06.160 a human, which is a pretty good sized animal itself ourselves, um, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.600 can look like prey, which is something they're interested in. Um. 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.640 They're powerful enough that that initial test bite can kill you. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.919 Even though the shark was like, oh this is gross, 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.720 like a little reef shark, You're gonna have a little 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.400 bit of troubles, but you know, you could probably get 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.800 over that. I think the worst thing that can happen 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.199 to you underwater, besides losing your life, is one of 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:39.520 those little fish swimming into your urethra. What yeah, that happens? What? Yes, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.600 all right, I'll show you later man. Really yeah, man, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.080 in the I believe the Amazon. What does it do 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.000 exactly what I just said? Yeah, but I mean after 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.520 that feeds, once it's in there, it feeds. Good lord. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:20:00.240 So the other, the other um factor that makes those 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.320 three the deadliest sharks is that they're at the top 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.200 of the food chain, which means that they're not afraid 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.480 of humans. If it knows you're a human, it's not 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.560 going to be like, oh god, human, It'll be like, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.720 you know, want to feel a little hiky today. Uh 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.080 So those are the why those three are the most dangerous. 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.600 But like we said, um, hammer heads, makos, nurse sharks, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.800 reef sharks, black tips, they can all bite when threatened 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.159 or by mistake. It happens. Um. I remember when we 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.880 swam in the Georgia Aquarium, hammer head sharks were in there, 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.520 and I wasn't super worried because people do this all 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.560 the time, but it's still at one point I did 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.000 look down and see that hammer head shark, you know, 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.640 ten feet from me, and think, all right, well, there's 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.600 a shark, and this is as close as I've ever 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.800 been to one, and it is so weird looking. Actually, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.960 not as close as as someone in a wave when 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.320 one time when I was in the ocean. No, just 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.600 a shark like jetting through a wave that was crashing 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:00.520 over me and he just flew by. I saw, like 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.960 the silhouette. The wave is like Nature's aquai. Yeah, And 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.720 I told the guy the lifeguard was like, dude, I 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.680 just saw a shark, like really close to me. He said, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.520 how big was it? Said? About three ft long. He's like, 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.679 what was he doing? Said, he sort of just surfing 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.359 through the wave. He's like it's fine. He's like, we 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:16.840 see him out here all the time. And he was 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.520 probably saying it's fine because the shark was probably long 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.719 gone by the time you talked to the lifeguard. It's 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.239 a good point. They don't like to stay in one 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.679 place for very long. And there's even a school of 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.520 thought that multiple shark attacks in the location are not 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.040 the result of a single shark. They are pretty much 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.639 coincidence or there's something that's going on around there that 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.120 we're not aware of that's attracting sharks. But it's not 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.040 just one shark a rogue shark, and I just made 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:46.800 air quotes which may or may not exist. Yeah, that's that. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:48.800 They have a couple of shark myths in this article 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:53.879 and the the human um I desire human flesh rogue 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.800 shark they think, I mean, they can't prove that that 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.760 is not the case, but they certainly think that's de 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.120 only not in the case. You know, like they can't 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.480 say there are no rogue sharks anywhere. Um, but it's 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:08.320 it's not like it is in the movies where there's 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.000 like this one shark named Jaws and he just loves 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:13.159 people and he loves hanging out in the same spot 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:18.160 and just feeding on folks because idiots, Yeah keep coming 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.920 out here. Why wouldn't they. But they do do weird things, 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.800 um like go way out of their range, like as 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:28.520 far north as New England or way upriver to like Chicago. Um, 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.879 that's crazy. And they said if a shark was like 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.760 sicker injured, you might could get some pretty unpredictable behaviors. 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.720
