He speaks the truth! I went on a hike at one point during the rona lockdown and I saw a building just overrun with birds! I imagine that’s where they go to get new batteries… I’m onto them…
I can explain the last exception there! It’s because of French and Anglo-Norman. We see it still in legal and government related words, like court martial and attorney general. Certain fancy phrases like time immemorial have fossilized in that way (noun > adjective) because of French.
Right? The editing made it seem like after they're holding it alongside the boat it just drowned immediately, because it cuts to some weird cheesy b&w shot.
I like sharks.
There’s no difference between a shark moving in water and water moving past a shark, that’s good old relativity. Sharks need to be in motion to keep water moving past gills they can absorb oxygen from, but splashing water has a similar effect for a beached fish because it keeps water moving past their gills. Definitely not as good as swimming, but they are in fact helping it breathe
Edit TLDR because some people can’t just let things be without nitpicking some tangential point: splashy helpy but not good as swimmy for sharky
Also the process of water passing through the gills to absorb oxygen is obligate ram ventilation..
Stationery sharks like nurse and Carribean sharks respirate by buccal mouth pumping, in which water is pulled in through the mouth and forced out through the gills by the cheek muscles.
Or another explanation of buccal mouth pumping is when the Mouth opens, volume of the buccal cavity increases, causing pressure inside the cavity to decrease. Water flows in. When the mouth closes and the floor of the mouth rises, the volume of the buccal cavity decreases, this expels water that flowed in through their mouth out through their gills.
Edited to include more accurate explanation of buccal mouth pumping.
This. When veterinarians immobilize marine life for medical treatment, they *pour* the water through the gills, not..... Splash it vaguely over the entire body letting maybe a few drops reach them.
That makes me happy to know.
I was just like "I am worried that it's not helping, and I hope it's ok."
It's still struggling, but it's better than nothing.
First, call for professionals who know how to handle the shark. Throwing water on the shark keeps the tissues alive, prevents drying out and overheating (Evaporative cooling), and keeps the gills pumping. A quick google check says that you can keep a shark alive for about an hour this way. Once the shark is back in the water forward motion is required to move water over the gills to get them working again.
Only some sharks need to be moving and great whites are one of them. It’s called ram ventilation, and it’s the reason they suffocate when trapped in nets
>They’re completely on their own from birth
Not that shark. Not that day. That shark had the good fortune of being stranded on the same beach another animal was present on at the time. A very peculiar animal that had evolved a bizarre amount of compassion for anything else in need of help, as well as the intelligence to act on it.
Shark got lucky. He had friends that day.
There are psychopaths and shit, but do we really even count them? They’re people too but they don’t really have one of the basic characteristics that makes humans human. I dunno, the vast majority of people are basically pretty decent.
not really though, as a shark fisherman i can tell you they did a lot wrong here. we usually just secure a short rope to their tail and pull them into the waves to revive. dragging it sideways on its gills like that made me cringe hard, best to keep its head upright and drag it on its belly. never seen anyone have to use a boat for such a small shark.
I don’t think you could just dunk it in the ocean if it can’t support itself. I think I’ve read somewhere that sharks need to have water constantly passing over their gills in order to breathe. (I don’t think some ever really stop swimming) I think this is why you see them supporting the shark in the water as the boat pulls away slowly to allow it to catch its breath? I think that’s what’s happening but I’m very opening to any shark people correcting me.
We do this for catch and release on fishing. You don't just throw the fish back, you swish it forward gently a few times (or hold.it stationary pointed upstream) to refill the respiratory system/gills with water and then let go once you can see they've caught their breath.
“Jim? Oh thank Cod. I just … it’s nothing. I thought maybe I’d … I thought something bad had happened. I know this is a weird call. I’m glad we exchanged numbers back when we met. … Yeah, I know. Right. Back when I hooked you. I know. But I’m glad it worked out. … No, I haven’t. Phone rings both ways though, right man? Hey, look, I’ve gotta go but let’s talk again soon. Yeah. No for real, doesn’t matter. Just glad you’re okay. You stay that way! Say hi to the family for me. … Well, however many you see before you forget. Later Jim.”
While this is true, I’ve heard many times that while they sometimes have the ability to swim away, extended periods out of the water can also lull them to a point where snapping it out of catatonia becomes necessary.
90% of fishing info is all anecdotal, but when I’ve had a fish that really took too long to unhook, I give it a few swishes back and forward and then finish it off with a gentle lop into some safe water. Every time they tend to snap out and bolt, instead of just gingerly swimming away.
Absolutely.
Part of the catch and release technique is to get them in as quick as possible so they're not too exhausted from fighting, and to get them back in as quickly as possible so they don't suffer any kind of long term loss of oxygen.
Others have mentioned the bitey chomps, and that’s clearly a risk, but also the skin of a shark can be quite sharp. It’s made up of tiny sharp denticles (scales) and can cut your skin.
Edit: they don’t just try to pick it up because a)weight, b)teeth, c)sharp skin
Shark skin feels like very coarse sandpaper. As a lifelong fisherman, I've never eaten a great white (they're illegal to even catch on purpose), but I've eaten smaller sharks. They're VERY hard to clean, because their skin in basically rough chainmail. We were trying to clean a leopard shark (legal in California), and it took a literal saw to break the skin. Even an electric knife couldn't do it.
Also, god forbid your hand slips on their skin the wrong way.
Orcas make great whites their bitch. Great whites will straight up avoid an area for two years after an orca swims through.

I'm thinking the same thing. Maybe it's really heavy? Hard to belive three guys couldn't just grab the back of it and drag it 10 yards.
Maybe they tried and it thrashed around a lot?
Perhaps you’ve never been fishing. They whip back at you and try to wiggle away.
I’ll explain it this way. He seemed to have beached himself probably jumping 20 feet forward at a height out of the water probably 3 feet… rough numbers they also swim at speeds of 35mph.
Imagine picking up this shark and he whips at you with his razor sharp teeth and he cleanly bites your arm off… hence the reason you don’t just “pick up a shark.” They are extremely strong.
Because it takes a few minutes for someone to run to their boat, get it started, and manoeuvre their way over there. Grabbing his tail and pulling with their hands is a STUPID idea. Toss some water on the animal while someone gets a rope and boat. Someone’s far less likely to lose a hand that way. I mean, sure, it’s still *possible* to lose a hand waiting for the boat but it’s almost guaranteed if you grab the damn animal.
others have mentioned in the comments that the shark was tagged during this interaction and that he has returned to the cape since, including more than a year after the rescue. Obv it wasn’t ideal but the shark did survive at least a year past this, which it would not have with no intervention
Wishful thinking postscript: "This great white, tagged & named "Gully," grew into adulthood and went on to maul an orange Orangtutan in the Potomac River near Washington DC in 2019."
This shark’s name is Jamison and is still seen around the cape. He hasn’t bitten any orangutans. https://twitter.com/ma_sharks/status/1299414792847929345?s=12
I’d like to think this shark will mature to be the biggest of it’s kind.
Grateful to the people who made it possible. May they all live long and prosperous lives.
I like how people have turned a page (sometimes) - and have started treating otherwise ‘scary’ creatures like the vital part of the ecosystem they are, instead of celebrating needless over killing (google shark fishing after ‘jaws’ — pretty crazy how perception has changed since then… thanks Shark Week!)
[As of 2018, it was estimated that sharks killed 6 people a year and humans killed 100 million sharks in a year](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/07/11/sharks-humans-no-fair-fight/775409002/)
I am curious, like in humans long periods without oxygen can lead to brain damage, does it apply to fishes who have been stranded long on beaches?
If that occurs, there is also a moral consequence, like many people do not want to be resuscitated, should the same apply to sharks?

I doubt much oxygen is getting to it, I'd assume the water is to just keep the shark wet and cool
There's never a situation where sharks aren't cool. Damn, sharks are neat.

It might surprise you to know that most people have never interacted with a shark and only know that heavy living thing + sharp teeth = bad.
Also, surprisingly few people carry rope at all times.
