Don't Act Like Prey (Clip 2)

Don't Act Like Prey - Clip 2- White Shark Seriously Checks Out Diver One of several short segments from an interview with Walter Bernardis Three of the clips revolve around the topic of "not acting like prey" as Walter is asked to explain some interactions in his footage. All of us, even those as experienced as Walter, have learning moments. These moments allow us to examine our behavior, adapt, and change so as to more successfully coexist with other creatures on this planet, particularly creatures we are afraid of. This first clip involves a large tiger shark. Clips two and three involve a white shark - You can watch the full 'Don't Act Like Prey' segment of the interview here: http://www.whitesharkvideo.com/blog/dont-act-like-prey ___________________________________________________ #prey #predator #predatorprey #adaptation #coexistence #shark #tigershark #whiteshark #walterbernardis #africanwatersports #wsv #whitesharkvideo #skylerthomas #monsters #sharkminutes #sharkbite #sharkattack #aliwalshoal #southafrica

Shark Interns: Seth's Big Performance

Perhaps the most amazing thing witnessed in South Africa, even including the sharks, was this performance by our much loved bait handler, Seth. Interns Dan and Skyler return from a local bar to walk in on Seth in the middle of a serious jam session...a seriously intoxicated jam session. All I can say is you've got to watch this to the end, lol! Can't wait for the next season of Shark Interns! Go to Sharkinterns.com to learn how to join the fun.

Monsters Trailer 2: Tiger Shark

The second trailer for 'Monsters'. Cute and cuddly animals aren't the only creatures that suffer when subjected to archaic methods of killing. Sharks are here for a reason and removing them only creates real issues to replace imagined ones. Tiger shark footage filmed by Skyler Thomas, Epic Diving, and Sharks 4 Kids. Culled footage of sharks filmed by Rohan Sibon, Luke D'eat, Safia Maher. Voice acting by Brody Morse. Written and edited by Skyler Thomas.

Ollie's Bad Day: Shark Interns

A day at sea is cut short by an intern's poor bait handling. Repeatedly being outwitted by the sharks leads to the team running out of bait heads before the morning is over. Combined with lack of sleep and research deadlines approaching, the team's manners start to erode.

Ever seen the sun shine though the mouth of a #whiteshark ? You have now. The lining of the gills is shown (3:43) and then the roof of the mouth lights up like a dragon at (8:33). #whitesharkvideo #shark #greatwhiteshark #whiteshark #skylerthomas #WSV

Shark Interns: Penguin Love

Sharks dominate the day to day activities of the interns, but they care about all marine animals and volunteer at the local penguin and sea bird rehabilitation center.

Cunning Shark

Another case of the notorious shark, Black Gill, showing signs of using what appears to be strategy to get the bait.

Missing the Sharks

Shark Intern, Byron, tells us a little about shark personalities and explains how it's possible to miss sharks.

Amanda: Threat to Sharks

Amanda's silly request to be handed sunglasses while she's in the shark cage distracts the bait handler just long enough for a shark to snatch the bait. Skyler takes the opportunity to give Amanda a hard time. Background information on cage dive ecotourism: The sharks are NOT supposed to get the bait and the operators do their best to prevent this. It is a constant battle of wits between man and shark. Stay tuned for more clips from Shark Interns
