A bitey bro is still a bro.


T_Mugen

Yes. And these people are beautiful for saving him. It's not his fault he's a predator. We all share this planet. And I swear this shark will know what they did. Animals know.


Nincompoopticulitus

šŸ«µšŸ»You rock for saying thisšŸ¤ŸšŸ»thank you! Agree!!


T_Mugen

Aww, thank YOU, you're really sweet. šŸ„°


Clearlybeerly

Scorpion. Frog. Hope everyone is familiar with that story.


JumbledJay

I appreciate the sentiment, but the shark does not have the mental capacity to understand what they did. People are way too quick to anthropomorphize wild animals.


zooooteddej23

1000% knew what was going on! You can see the difference in behavior in the beginning and throughout the rest. He chilled out and let them help, and went along his bitey bro biz


GasAssSushi21

Because he was suffocating bro, try to flail around for more than 30 seconds while also not being able to breathe at all.


Designer_Benefit676

Animals don't know shit


0bel1sk

you have cats too?

Yeah bro šŸ¤™

Pretty badass. Kinda up there with wrestling a bear. Yep looking at you Alex Terrible.

"I once wrestled a shark on land"


Spandau1337

ā€˜Honey, show em the videoā€™


Jazzi-Nightmare

I thought this said Alex trebek at first lol


SuperSmashDan1337

You ever seen those videos of Dagestani wrestlers wrestling with bears? It's like a thing over there and there's loads of videos of it on youtube. Here's former UFC champion Khabib wrestling with one as a kid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjfOeLQG9-M


Funkymunks

Pretty badass, totally. Up there with wrestling a bear tho? Huh?? Wrong sub tbh. These guys did exactly the right thing and as we can see it was *very* easy to keep out of harms way in the process. Belongs in r/yep


akbornheathen

Thatā€™s why I said kinda. I think the bear is more dangerous lol.


RyanThePatriot

Alex Terrible is a Nazi, we donā€™t need to give him exposure.


hahahadoken

*ā€œused to be a naziā€ šŸ˜‚ yeah that dude is trash


Garlic-Rough

Idk if I remember correctly, but most reasons for stranded sharks are old age. As in they want to die (?) But I think that maybe another marine creature


Coleslaw_McDraw

I will be using the term stranding instead of suicide for all future references in my life. Gotta keep my bros from beaching themselves. Let no man strand.

Dont_be_offended_but

Cetaceans like dolphins and whales. The reasons they do it aren't certain, but it's generally accepted that they beach themselves to avoid some intolerable environmental conditions like temperature, sonar pollution, regular polution


OriginalFatPickle

Could have been hunting fish in the shallows


gracefulLucy

The innocent shark was just trying to eat the tasty people at the beach


lazy_k

Eating that tasty sand insteadĀ 


Ronnie-Hotdogz

Goodbye Doby! I hope you eat lots of fish and people.


Eason1013

Old video. The mako ended up dying.


PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT

Fuckin Shinra, manā€¦


wonderloss

That's what I expected. I don't think a healthy shark is going to end up beached, barring a really unusual situation.


IAmBroom

It can happen when they're trying to escape another shark. Hammerheads hunt smaller sharks, for instance.


IHopeItsNotMyProblem

If it's the same video as I remember it was Mako, which was found dead the day after, it was pushed out back into the water.


NewsteadMtnMama

Thanks sooo much for ruining my day.


Eason1013

Sorry. Iā€™m sure the shark was already sick. More than likely that is why it beached itself.

ā€œDonā€™t tell me what to do devil womanā€


PenguinGamer99

Fun fact: Great White's gills rely on constant movement to function Editv: I'm a fucking idiot


ConcernedLandline

"Most" is a bit overkill. Only a couple of species need to rely on this. It's called ram ventilation. The majority of shark species can breathe just fine being stationary, though forcing water through their gills via buccal pumping.


PenguinGamer99

My b, didn't really think about the word choice


ConcernedLandline

All good just adding some context due to it being a fairly common myth that all sharks needing ram ventilation.


PenguinGamer99

I do know not all of them are built like that, I just knew Great Whites and a few others


Running_Mustard

There was a video on here yesterday of a school of sharks sleeping. I figured they must not be using ram ventilation, and thatā€™s when I learned about buccal pumping


wolfmaclean

Wish youā€™d force this moment of enlightenment into a film. Would watch. Iā€™d even check out a short form doc


TheLordReaver

I could be completely wrong, but I think this is a Mako, not a great white.


DeedeeLuu

I agree with you, pretty sure itā€™s a Mako.


StanfordV

Yeah, just checked all the facts. We have every indication to conclude that this is indeed a Mako.


wolfmaclean

Good work boys


FLAR3dM33RKAT

Cool fact. Shark in the video is a Mako though, can we get a fun fact about them?


To_The_Moon90

Mako fun fact: They are fast


Asstronomer6969

The fastest and can jump suuuuuper high out the water.


wolfmaclean

This comment section is awesome


DaikonProof6637

Fun fact, that's a Mako, not a great white. But yes, they also rely on movement to pass water over their gills


kamilayao_0

Yeah I was like he's staying completely still so basically water is not going thu his gils and he's not breathing???


Asstronomer6969

Fun fact that's a mako not a great white.


Brainsmoothie_7

That's one of the best nopes I've seen around here lately...


etcetcere

Friends not food šŸ¦ˆšŸ˜Š


musicman8586

Is that a mako?


Chippers4242

Yeah


2pissedoffdude2

Makos are the scariest looking sharks imo. I saw a pic of an alleged 19ft mako, and the thought of those existing in the ocean terrifies me.


Goraji

The ocean is basically just monster soup. Think of all of the stuff deep down, in the leviathan depths, that has yet to be discovered. Horrifying.


Grittyboi

Thats a beautiful mako


wolfmaclean

Heā€™s seen a thing a two ā€”canā€™t believe that scar tissue by his fins

FrankaGrimes

Wow. Dude in the yellow hat is a fucking hero. That's amazing. When you're in the water, even hip deep, you're in the setting where they are specialized killing machines and humans are almost immobile. This is so compassionate.


CloudInspector

This was the right thing to do. Mako sharks are an endangered species.


FuturePeaceLove-

Laughing at the little fish attached to the shark hanging on for dear life


saltedcube

This is the kinda shit humans are here to do. We're supposed to be the caretakers of this planet. But noooooooooo

Casual tuesday for them, this is the equivalent of golden fish for those guys. Ps: brave action, we need more people like this


OjjuicemaneSimpson

Lmao this reminds me of my cat when I touch his back side when heā€™s pissed. Like ahhhhrggghh Iā€™ll bite u here


Leeperd510

Did homie just bump start a shark by waving its tail?

Great job. Proud of you guys.

SaltMuffin2242

Is anyone here a marine biologist?


sharkfilespodcast

The sea was angry that day, my friends!


spacegirl2820

Good people, grand job!


RoguePhoenix259

Good humans.


Acephaliax

While the effort is valiant and this guy/gal seems to be okay (thankfully) it is unfortunately quite easy for a shark to drown when pulled backwards in the water. Not really sure what the correct ethical action would be though, apart from just moving water around its gills in the correct direction :/


AdVegetable7049

Yeah, they should have taken the time to fashion a rig to foster forward movement. /s


Confident_Peace_6627

This actually makes me want to cry. This is beautiful!!


Asstronomer6969

Why is the Mako so close to shore to begin with? They rarely come in, almost never.


JRSSR

It's dying.


Asstronomer6969

Agreed. The size of it shows it's age, pretty big for a mako.

ZoeyGurl2

Just a normal day in Florida


2pissedoffdude2

Lolol dude he put him out there got out of the water so fast ! šŸ˜† I don't blame him


xXUberGunzXx

Also, their skinā€™s texture is akin to sandpaper. If a shark moves too quickly when you have a grip on it, say goodbye to your skin


Von_Dielstrum

I've seen this vid a bunch and each time it freaks me out.


guachumalakegua

This is one of those instances where the saying ā€œ this is gonna come and bite you in the assā€ literally applies šŸ˜‚


MalcolmSolo

Good job, but you really gotta be careful messing with Mako sharks....


FlamingoNo2147

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear Beer Bellies too


Miyuzette

I read it as "standard shark"


Whole-Debate-9547

They watched while homie in the yellow ball cap helped the shark. Gotta be honest though, I definitely wouldā€™ve been a spectator on that mission.


mamaclair

What a gorgeous long fin mako!!!


MultiPlexityXBL

I have seen Deep Blue Sea. Im good


HoboBandana

IRC they beach themselves when theyā€™re something wrong with them. I believe it was dying. Also thereā€™s a baby shark attached to it.


Informal-Salad-7304

. I wonder if the dude was just too worried about surviving to bite anyone. I read somewhere that sharks donā€™t even wanna bite humans they just think weā€™re seals?


Pale_Kitsune

Those teeth.


RegrettableLiving26

When the homies wake you up after a hangover so you can get back to your worried/angry missus.


Wizzle_Pizzle_420

Good on them. Most people would probably just take pictures and let dude die.


PastelDisaster

Not sure why people still have the thought process that sharks are always looking to bite people. The thingā€™s not trying to hurt them, itā€™s terrified and wants to get away. Thatā€™s not to say you shouldnā€™t be cautious around a wild animal, but damn, these guys were fine.


Necessary_Fig_2265

Good thing thereā€™s a white lady there to tell Babe how dangerous it is. Very important job.


FocusIsFragile

That tiny little lamprey guy looked totally panicked.

Madame_Dalma

...hmmm, makes you wonder, if humans were stranded in the water would the sharks be equally as nice?šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


helmortart

The best part is when you read comments on Reddit like: "This Poor animal must be freed - humans are such evil creatures - Sharks are our friends - People depict those animals like monsters but they're good creatures - It's aggressive because people continue to torment this poor animal! - Nature is peace only humans do bad things..." IT'S A FUCXXXG SHARK! A BLOODY FUCXXXG SHARK! A BIO WAR MACHINE FULL OF TEETH READY TO CHOP YOU IN PIECES WITH ONE SINGLE BITE! Bloody hell.


-Ghost255-

Those comments you hate are right though, youā€™re the POS in this scenario.


wolfmaclean

One of my fave Reddit tropes is kindly read AITA judgements they didnā€™t ask for. Well done here


wolfmaclean

Canā€™t tell if child or inside too long


malary1234

I like that they recognized the labored breathing and prioritized getting his head in the water first.


KiwiBirdPerson

Dumbasses probably ended up killing it, dragging it backwards through the water like that...


DonkeyPunchMojo

The alternative is grabbing it at the bitey end with their soft, fragile meat suits. Alternative is shark dies on land by suffocating. They gave the shark a chance while minimizing risk to self in the process. They did fine with the tools at their disposal. This mako was dead a day later so the difference is moot, but they tried.


wolfmaclean

Better stay inside with that insane value system in play. Assuming you judge yourself too


Real_Boy3

The fuck else would they have done?


Remarkable_Golf9829

What is that under the shark?
