      he jumped of a cruise ship and people theorize that he got eaten by a shark
      nevermind the fact that he jumped near the wake of the ship and he probably caught up to it and got entagled into a few tons of water being pushed on his body

          I'm honestly they surprised they don't blame the cruise ship for (legally) serving the guy alcohol.

              >Although Patterson claimed the lions were responsible for up to 135 deaths, a peer-reviewed paper on man-eating lions and the circumstances surrounding this notorious event states that about 28–31 killings can be verified (Kerbis Peterhans & Gnoske, 2001). However, one underlying assumption of the study was that the lions would eat all of the edible meat on a victim. In other words, the study's conclusion was that the lions ate the equivalent of 28-31 whole people. This obviously does not take into account that some victims may have been killed and either partially eaten or not eaten at all.

            Tiger shark is still pretty awful. They have unique double serrated teeth that they use to cut through sea turtle shells. Tiger's actually have a higher fatality rate per bite than great whites from people just bleeding out.

      This us exactly why I wouldn't have my paddle in the water and why I'd have a nasty fish whacker and a handgun onboard. You lose your paddle because some butthole bull or tiger shark knocks it loose you're gonna have a bad time. Bet that fricker hung around for a while after that too. That sure as shit wasn't a test bite. If you can't do shit if/when he tries again you'll end up in the water with him.

          There's been cases where sharks severed steel cable and the amount of force in that hit is titanic. If the cable doesn't fail the plastic bracket or cleat it's likely tied to sure could. Having it onboard and secured is the safest option. Our hero on the kayak is lucky the shark caught something instead of just sliding down the whole side and likely taking his paddle off in the process.

          A full force "accident". It meant to eat the kayak until it realized it was getting nothing. Just because it was an "accident" doesn't mean it wasn't going in for the kill. It's also entirely possible that shark learned to associate kayaks with the meat that sits on them but that is less likely than simple misidentification. If the kayaker had fallen in or started making the water turbulent he'd have definitely come back for a snack.

          Sharks will try to eat anything at least once. I've even heard of one found that tried to swallow a live torpedo.

          would it be possible he'd come back around again, or do they have the ability to flag signals as false?

          Their natural sensor suite is probably good enough to identify specific things around them but they don't know what it is until they find out. If it looks like it might be food and feels like it might be food good shot they'll at least take a test bite, but sometimes they just commit to making a kill without the test. Sometimes they'll just swim by and do absolutely nothing. Sometimes they bite the shit out of your kayak and make you think "Thank frick my foot wasn't right there!"

            If the shark had meant to dislodge the man in the kayak, he would have kept up the attack. He meant to eat the kayak itself, then stopped when he realized it wasn't food.

              That's why I said it was less likely. Read the post before replying. Stop trying to white knight for the shark against every possible slight, she's not going to frick you bro.

              If we want to go down the rabbit hole though it's also possible the shark had tried it before and gotten clubbed for trying too for too long. Could have simply come in from the wrong angle to get it's treat. Though we'd likely have seen articles about a shark specifically hunting kayakers. Again, it's a lot less likely but it is possible.

                Do you not understand what the words "less likely" mean anon? Also they don't have to sink the boat, they have to knock the kayaker off. Predators are smart enough to learn things like that. Is it common? No. Can they figure out there's a meat thing there if they can just knock it in the water and start trying to do that when they see those things? Absolutely.

                Divers directly take advantage of the sharks learning. Those sharks in the popular tourist spots know there's free fish and that the strange large black fish will give it to them. They also know there's a good chance they'll get their skin rubbed. At those dive spots you're basically in the same bracket as cleaner fish.

    It really is very odd that sea life doesn't hurt us more. If a pike would want to take a quick cheeky nibble of my thigh there's not that much I could do. I don't understand the evolutionary incentives that makes them avoid us naturally as opposed to land animals where all the ones without the genes for instinctual fear got fricking obliterated. When did we ever hunt Moray eels?

    • 11 months ago
      Anonymous

      Attacking another animal is super dangerous. Even a small wound can lead to death in the wild. Because of that most predators are extremely cautious about what they're willing to attack.
      Better to frick off and find something you know you can kill and eat, than risk your life against an unknown foe.
      Also for some marine animals, humans are pretty much inedible. For example afaik great white sharks would literally starve if they ate humans, as we're not fatty enough. So most shark "attacks", are just them trying to figure out what the frick the thing splashing around is. Quick bite to gain info, then frick off to a safe distance.

      Also I might be wrong but I don't think land animals have some "special" fear of humans. It's just the same thing of, "don't attack the unknown, just in case the unknown can kill you".
      Humans standing upright also makes us seem way bigger than we actually are, so predators will be especially cautious.

It has to have been some sort of cover up, like his "friends" pushed him off, realized they fricked up, started recording and tried to make it seem like he jumped on his own accord.

      You are even more moronic than he is.

        Peer pressure, alcohol, and not disappointing friends can make any sane person do the dumbest shit possible.

          Exactly. It would take a complete autistic moron to not understand how a young man, drunk and with friends, might voluntarily do something suicidally stupid.

          it's times like these where i am grateful for my dislike of alcohol, my rejection of peer pressure, and my lacking social circle.

      Have you ever talked to an 18-23 year old guy? They're easily the most moronic people in the world. Add alcohol on top of that and of course this fricking idiot drowned himself.

    Sharks don't attack people, it's dolphins that you have to worry about.

    I remember, back when I was really young and mildly obsessed with sharks, that bull sharks were considered the most dangerous, at least in terms of likelihood of attacking. Depending on the source, I wanna say it was chocked up to either their tolerance for fresh water meaning encounters were more likely, that their eyesight was poor and so it was easier for them to attack people mistakenly, or that they were just plain mean. Is this true? Or is there another species better to be feared?

      Bull sharks are most likely to attack people because they hunt in shallow, murky water, like the surf zone at the beach where sand is all stirred up by wave and human action, and their hunting style is “bite first, ask questions later”, so they get a lot of waders in the leg or the arm or whatever. They are still pretty aggressive in open water (in terms of their willingness to approach and test you), but generally respect spearfishermen (I’ve never lost a fish to a shark after I pulled it up to me, but if you spear a fish and leave it dangle, them and lemon sharks will rob you blind, they call them the “Taxman” for a reason).
      Lemons and nurse sharks are also pretty fearless around people and will try and steal your catch if you don’t secure it, but I’ve popped up from checking a coral head for grouper and head butted a lemon shark right in the mouth and I think he was more startled than I was.
      Reef sharks are buttholes, but not really dangerous unless you’re diving alone. Most of the real danger is related to bad line management, if you spear something and a shark gets it before you can, you’d better hope you didn’t accidentally wrap your line around your arm or something.

      Tiger sharks interrupt your hunt though, you have to spend enough focus on keeping track of a tiger shark that it’s difficult to spear fish. Best to just calmly watch him until he gets bored and fricks off.

      Great whites, I’ve never seen while spear fishing, but I have gone cage diving and then later open water diving with them, and it was really cool. They’re there to try and get some easy tuna chunks from the dive operator and they are about as interested in you as a manatee, legitimately it just seems to be curiosity. If it’s a calm day without a lot of competition from other sharks, the few you get will approach very close between trips to the bait rope, and they seem to appreciate a good scratch on the side.

    CO2 knife: https://blade-city.com/blogs/gun-knife-blog/wasp-injection-knife
    now, a story:
    The Soviet military equipped trained dolphins with a similar device to use
    on divers who infiltrated their shipyards. It would inject so much CO2 into a person their organs would explode out their orifices, and float
    to the surface so they could gather intelligence from their corpses. The dolphins are trained to ram it into human shaped dummies with their
    snout
    A problem arose the first time it was used on an actual person. The dolphins were apparently
    horrified by the results of using it and would not wear the device after seeing a human brutally inflated in this fashion.
    The
    problem was circumvented by a change to the device. The CO2 injector was put on a timer and made to detach after the dolphin stabbed it into
    the diver. A new set of dolphins were trained to ram it into a diver, then immediately swim away so they didn't witness what happened when the
    CO2 was injected.

    Think how moronic it sounds when someone says a Shark can smell blood from a mile away.
    Are you telling me blood traveles in a current that far?
    I can understand a Dog and wind.
    But water is not the same medium.
    Pour dye in a bottle and that dye will spread everywhere.
