That's a scooter

Me and my daughter were threatened by a Bull Shark once while snorkelling here in an east coast Australian river mouth. It came very close then swam away and then came back, its movements were quick and unpredictable. Luckily we were close to the rocks and swam like f**k. My wife who was on the edge said she never seen me move so fast. I was into scuba for a few years before, but it put me off completely as what happened in that video would have.

That galeocerdo cuvier was way less threatening than the oceanic white tip.

Tiger shark, "Oceanic whitetip?? Oh hell no!... I gots to go cause that bitch ain't playing".

Very appropriate. The F-18 is actually faster and can carry a larger armament than an f-22. However, the f-22 will show up out of nowhere with signature locks well before their presence is known. I think we have 2 different weight classes here.

Obviously one can guess the Longimanus display of ante-attack (fins down and dancing attitude) is more directed to the galeocerdo cuvieri than really the divers. However, the latter were careful and were right to be so. Wonderful footage underseas !

The Tiger Shark comes in at 2:15. Also, the Oceanic Whitetip has his fins lowered quite a few times throughout the video, probably indicating that it's stressed.

Great footage man...take care down there👏👍

Wonderful ❤

Tiger sharks and Oceanic Whitetip Sharks were even my favorite shark species! Pretty surprised that there was a video of it :D

Longimanus definitely stressed by all the divers. Cousteau called him "Lord with the Long Arms". Tiger shark passing through suddenly realizes Longimanus is ready to attack anyone and gets lost asap. This respect for his irritation seems to calm long arms, somewhat.

Just a little posturing by the two sharks to see who gets to eat the divers. The oceanic was being selfish. As a diver I would be more a little more careful around the oceanic, as a swimmer near a shoreline, I would be very nervous if a good sized tiger showed up.

The OWT looks like a stream lined fighting missile, not to be messed with!

This is a really aggressive Longimanuses just looking for a reason to attack something & eat it. Even the much larger Tiger Shark at one point appears a little intimidated by its serious displays of aggression. It looks like an angry Pit Bull ready for a fight during the entire video. A perfect example to teach divers the signs of a shark exhibiting threat displays that should definitely be taken seriously. No mistake here, this shark means business. It should be watched at all times & given a wide berth, while showing it no vulnerability or fear. This is a shark that will take u out, if u disrespect it's space or turn ur attention elsewhere for too long. Not a shark to be messed with for sure.

Unless there is a big size difference between the two shark individuals, Longi will always dominate other sharks. The reason being - spending most of their time in areas were food opportunities are few and far between - they have to.

At what point do you think the longimanus noticed the Tiger and vice versa?

@robmartin5382

10 ай бұрын

At 1:55. The OWT goes into what appears to be a lateral line sensory position picking up the Tigers waves… the Tiger probably was curious and knew there were divers but clearly didn’t suspect there was an OWT. Perhaps it knew there was another shark like a bull and figured it safe until its poor eyesight was able to pick up exactly what it was dealing with. What gets me is the moment that Tiger flinches. Why did it do that? Was the Tiger watching the divers and then it suddenly noticed the OWT in a pissed off posture and scare it?

That's a white tip ocean short. Here comes thet tiger.

I guess the two types don`t breed. Would have been a fun mix to behold.

The white tip was not dominant, the tiger shark just didnn`t care I think.

Two of the four you don't wanna met in a dark ocean alley, look up Brothers Island where the Oceanic whitetip was ALL OVER a diver, 3 or were in the water together then at the last second it went from one diver to the next INVERTED! And grabbed and removed the divers Entire CALF In ONE Second and with a tail bust was Gone with the meat .......completely unpredictable, more bold than a Tiger or a bull, crazy to see!

Whitetip hunts in packs and they tend to be night hunters. They are devastating in packs. Ww2 horror stories of ship crews after their ships get sunk they get picked off by the whitetip in packs. Tiger is a solo hunter. And they are nog called a tiger shark just because they have that camo. They also not rated top 3 for most dangerous sharks in the world. Tiger is a beast and I would stay clear of one if spotted. Give it room. It will and can make your day from nice to very very bad very quickly.

Correct - you usually only find them in numbers together underneath eg liveaboard boats as each individual oceanic whitetip comes to investigate for possible food source. Once the liveaboard boats leave the oceanic whitetips disperse.
