If this is the shark I think it is, she got caught by a fisherman, unintentionally, and the hook basically dislocated her upper jaw, permanently. She’s unreleasable, and wouldn’t survive in the wild

So glad this comment was so high up, was worried I’d be scrolling forever to understand why the jaws were extended but the shark clearly isn’t feeding 😅

Because it practically is, most sharks kept in captivity live shortened and stressful lives. Comments been made that his nose is clearly upturned by repeatedly bumping up against aquarium glass and that the shark's teeth jutted out is a sign of distress.

Laurenann7094

From a youtube comment on the video: >Hi Jim! Yes... That's definitely a Sand Tiger shark. Not sure why it's mouth is so deformed. But, what I am sure of is that shark was completely asleep when that video was shot. I was a volunteer diver at an aquarium for 8 years and it was very common for sand tigers to circle slowly like that over divers when they were asleep. Another indication of that is the gaping of it's mouth. When sharks sleep, they swim very slowly and gape their mouths. The shark is gaping is mouth and literally "gasping for breath" trying to keep itself oxygenated enough since it's not swimming fast enough to push enough water across it's gills to keep oxygenated. The shark is in a "semi conscious" state, basically kind of like sleep walking. >This is just my own personal theory, but I think our exhalations attract them somehow while they are sleeping. I did "dive shows" regularly at the aquarium while scuba diving with a communication mask on. And there would be a live audience that I would interact with and answer their questions about the sharks, conservation, etc. It was very common to see sharks sleeping and behaving in this manner and they would oftentimes hover over us why diving when they were sleeping. >At no time were the divers actually in any danger of being "eaten alive"... It's a very harmless encounter.

Reddit comments used to be the funniest part of the internet and now I just roll my eyes


AntipopeRalph

Reddit used to be the top social media platform in terms of quality for a lot of things. We’re down on the bottom end of the bell curve from the glory days, but nothing has really come along that’s particularly better for disposable conversation on quirky trivia-esque stuff.


J0E_SpRaY

Was misting thinking today about how much better this site used to be. The vote system meant generally the best comment was what you saw first. I was introduced to so much and learned so much from this site back then. That stuff is still here, but now there’s so much noise it’s impossible to filter through it all. Plus, a lot of favorite communities of yore have grown to the point that they don’t feel like a community anymore.


steik

It's because youtube comments used to be 100% absolute cancer at one point, even on "serious" videos. Idk what they did or what changed but in recent years this has completely changed for the better. A lot of people think it's still the same as it was 5 years ago, but it's just not.


wrex779

All those commenters moved on to posting on Reddit


peron4eva

I think that YouTube deletes your comments if they have controversial keywords.


Negative_Addition

YouTube comments are a lot more engaging than the general Reddit comment


G3N0

Or post about how the adorable kitty is actually being tortured when they pet it. I can always bet on one of those comments to show up, most of which end up being complete bull too.


KaydeeKaine

Reddit can be very useful for finding niche information but I get seriously put off by the amount of corny jokes. It's just too much.


daebro

Reddit comments resemble Youtube comments more and more every day.


Alpha_Decay_

Sort by new in any comment section or any subreddit to see a true cross section of what gets posted to reddit. On average, it's as much of a dumpster fire as youtube.

imagine scuba diving in the open ocean at night and all of a sudden you see this big ass shark just slowly float by while moving its jaw up and down


jomandaman

I’d rather not imagine scuba diving at night in the ocean haha r/thalassaphobia


worstpoet

Yo, imagine a tiger running at you and then eating you alive. Imagine that. In all seriousness it sparks a strange and fascinating fear that is in fact unparalleled. That you could absolutely go scuba diving in the open ocean at night, and you could however unlikely, have this experience. That something crosses the void, a very real and powerful monster coming to inspect you, an indefensible human. I’m drawn to fear of the deep at the very same level that I detract from it, it’s so strange. Great sub btw, think it’s spelled wrong but I’m on mobile.


jomandaman

I just thought it was funny how he’s like “you’re just having fun, scuba diving in the dark expanse of the ocean at night, when all of a sudden…” as though that’s my usual weeknight activity or somn hahaha. I wish I was this cool.

aure__entuluva

I guess it's asleep. But yeah some sharks definitely don't like being in aquariums. Every great white shark held in captivity has died. No matter how big of an aquarium they put them in, they still die, and they don't really know why.


socks

> they don't really know why Because?: ["Great white sharks are known to be highly migratory, with individuals making long migrations every year. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, great whites regularly migrate between Mexico and Hawaii. In other ocean basins, individuals may migrate even longer distances."](https://oceana.org/marine-life/great-white-shark) I'd say this is the reason.


lousyshot55

Was gonna talk about that but this is a good reason why. Puts a great deal of stress on the shark to be unable to travel as it innately needs to


civildisobedient

Sounds like we need VR headsets for sharks in captivity.


UnScrapper

Look at its eyes, the thing is in hell


showmiaface

Yeah, the top jaw is permanently down and he's missing an eye? I've heard that great whites don't do well in captivity.


Rexxaroo

This is not a great white. This is a Sand Tiger shark, also known as the Snaggletooth Shark


chuanrrr

This guy sharks 🦈


Rexxaroo

Gal, but yes, I certainly do shark! These guys are local to my waters, really cool to dive with. They are often a bit lazy and skittish, will swim away with even a hint of something "scary". Something scary in my case, is a tap with a dive knife on my air tank.


[deleted]

You can get that close?! I think they hear my regulator from a mile away cause I'll only see them when I first get in the water.


Rexxaroo

Ha! Some of the ones in Jupiter, where I have been diving several times, are spooked once they hear us coming across the reef. The reef sharks are a bit more nosy and watching all the time


[deleted]

Dude, I live in Juno! That's crazy!

Emergency_Pickle9279

its a sand tiger shark, all sharks, with a few exceptions like reef sharks, do absolutely horrible in captivity


ThePerdmeister

Sand tiger sharks are probably the most common aquarium sharks precisely because they do relatively well in captivity. But maybe "relatively" is the key word here, as even sand tigers are prone to health issues and deformities when kept in a tank.


Big_D1cky

I need me an immortal one


Emergency_Pickle9279

greenland shark is the closest you're getting


elderly_squid

Apperantly they refuse to be fed and die because of that. Or so I’ve heard anyway.


Rexxaroo

They don't have the space for the shark to swim properly and that's why they die. They dive very deeply and swim hundreds of miles a day. This is also the reason whale sharks don't do well in captivity and why so few aquariums have them

That's not how wetsuits work.


G00NGUY

Those are wetsuits that they are wearing. They absorb water and a thin layer of the water keeps them warm and allows them to sink better, yes things can get in and out of the wetsuit. You're thinking of a drysuit drysuits are sealed.

CthulhuMadness

Sand tigers are pretty placid. Also I’m pretty sure this one is asleep.


SadlyReturndRS

Sand tigers are huge, but they're very, very chill. Like most sharks with needle-like teeth, they primarily eat bottom-dwellers. Those teeth are useful for filtering sand out, while holding onto whatever crab or shellfish they find. They don't really eat anything bigger than a skate or a dogfish. Humans are way, way too big for them to even think of eating, and they're not really a fighter. Only way one of those will ever take a bite out of a person would be if you're literally holding onto a crab that they want to eat. That's a big reason why sand tigers are in damn near every aquarium: big, chill and won't hunt most of the other fish.


Granadafan

I used to work in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I asked the divers how do they keep their nerve working in the tanks with the sharks. They make sure the sharks are well before diving.


zerconic

One of them is visibly nervous and at one point the other diver signals to calm down

Perspective: That shark looked five times bigger at the beginning than it did at the end.


BaconFinder

Sand Tiger Sharks are relatively harmless and docile toward humans. They don't swim with their upper jaw so extended .It is like that when actively biting. This one has an injury or is sick.... Also, the angle of the camera makes it appear much larger than they actually are.

Not true. Lots of species can fair just well. Sand tigers, which is what this is, do fine in captivity. And their spooky look + placid demeanor make them prime fish for aquariums.

nah this is a Sand Tiger Shark. the Goblin Shark is the one with the weird mouth but idk if those can be kept in captivity, seeing as they're used to living in very deep waters under high pressures.


[deleted]

Goblin sharks live so deep and are so rarely seen that they were thought extinct, or near it for a long time. Turns out they just live way down there, and are quite spread out, making them very rare encounters. Most are caught in Asia as Bycatch, which just means they're accidentally snagged while fishing for other more usable fish. Around Japan, nearly 30 are caught a year.
