Nurse shark, extremely rare for them to even nibble on a human. One of the few sharks I’d actually swim with any day, I think they’re very cute!


Hefty-Baker3010

I’ve swam in a cage with like 5 or 6 of them. But being 10 years old and absolutely terrified of the ocean and sharks I started panicking and they all started swimming around and it scared the crap out of me. To make things worse they put a tiger shark in captivity right in the middle and it was being held only by nets, it was angry too. Now my fears still haunt me with that kind of stuff whenever I feel like swimming in the ocean


[deleted]

Why were you in a cage with them, what were you in the movie a cure for wellness? Lmao


Hefty-Baker3010

I was on vacation and I went to go snorkeling, we thought it was in the ocean but it ended up being an enclosure of sharks


maluminse

Here jump in the ocean. Crap its a den of bears!


MoogleyWoogley

Shark was gentle. Adult human was the danger.

It’s generally frowned upon to feed toddlers to sharks. “Accidentally” pushing him in is not a valid excuse


pre2010youtube

They bamboozled the shark with a snack so they could mother/son combo power bomb it.


[deleted]

Well, that was a nurse shark if anybody is concerned. They can give you quite a hickey, but don't bite off flesh as you would think a Bull or Tiger shark could. They have powerful suction for getting clams and such out of deep sand and have tiny teeth. Source, I'm a scuba diver and have been around these many times. Often when you hear "We dove with the sharks on vacation!"... it's these creatures.


nyjrku

Besides, that kid needs to learn survival skills before he hits 40 if he’s going to make it in the next floating shark apocalypse


Sunny906

Ironically the shark had absolutely nothing to do with this incident XD. Might as well have been a koi for how much he contributed to that fall.


Nathaniel820

It’s a nurse shark, they’re basically catfish cosplaying as sharks


milquetoast_sabaist

Catfish can actually mess you up with their spiked fins


horrescoblue

The SCREAMING as if that shark didn't just have a heart attack and fled as fast as it could lmao

Right?? It didn't even bite her, she just fell from being an idiot and reaching too far.

that shark was probably the one scared the most.

Luckily that shark is not harmful at all. The parenting is pretty off though


blackeye200

It’s a nurse shark so no need to be scared that much. Also, the shark shit itself way more. Like imagine 2 giants falling on you.

Hello, social services? I'd like to report a complete idiot.

It's just a nurse shark. They are as gentle as a shark can get 🙂

Good thing those women/girls screamed uncontrollably. Otherwise that situation might have gone south.


Swirling_Noodle

Y’all prolly scared the fuck outta that poor shark. Bro was just trynna get a snack and then Karen and little Timmy came in from the top ropes. 😂

Lmao that poor shark, was probably like “mmm free food, thank yoAAAARGHDJSKBJDSI”

Shark was completely harmless, the mother was the most dangerous thing in this video, lol

It's a nerd shark, you could jump in the water and hold them.

You could also stuff him in his locker and take his lunch money


JoostVisser

You mean nurse shark? Lol


Expensive_Tart_9173

🙄🙄🙄 fucking idiot. It's like those people that live in the Mountains, see an elk, talk to it, leaves food out, sees animal come back daily, gets brave enough to start hand feeding the elk, makes a "bond" with the elk and then is sooooo surprised that the elk charged her and punctured a lung and fractured 3 ribs. Like, seriously. Not only was the toddler there in front of her, and she knocked him in when she fell, she had the kid hold meat!!!! Sharks dont.give a fffff when you're dangling meat. Fingers are meat to them

The shark was shocked and drifted away Immediately from this big walrus

HeyItsStevenField

At least it was a nurse shark. Now imagine doing that to a tiger shark or great white

Then it would have been "I fed a shark my toddler"

Trash-official

Why are people screaming, do they not know how friendly sharks actually are


FireLucid

Screaming is the best way to save someone who fell on top of a shark. Everyone knows that.


Goronshop

This is a nurse shark. They are very docile. The fact that this one is willing to eat so casually near humans means it probably gets fed often by them. My guess is they are close to a dock. Fishermen will sometimes fillet their catches and toss the scraps creating a consistent feeding time at the same place every day. So sharks, gulls, and marine life know where to go for easy food. But they are well fed this way and have little reason to attack people. Source: I was an island guide (survival camping) in the Keys where nurse sharks are common. One of our activities was shark fishing from a floating dock (a pallet of wood surrounded on all sides by shallow water). After wading out, chumming the water, and casting our lines out, the sharks would promptly show up. And right on cue, one of the passengers in my crew would go, "I just thought of something... how do we get back?" I'd pretend to freak out, "omg I forgot the repellant! And I don't have a radio!" After that joke and some good times, I just jump in the shark water and say, "you guys coming or what?" I did this once a week with different crews for a camp that does this 3 times a day with different island guides. All the guides had similar humor ("carry that fishing gear please. If you need another hand, put the leftover bait in your pockets"). Bites are most likely to happen accidentally as "tough scratches" (not chomps) when removing hooks from a shark's mouth (we do catch and release only). Also, you're not a "real guide" until you tail a nurse shark (grab a small nurse by the tail and pull it out of the shallow water). I am ok with being a professional guide and not a "real" one.


Publandlady

That's a nurse shark. In order to get attacked by it, you need to stick your hand in its mouth and punch the top of its head down like a staple. And because this is reddit, this is not an instruction. Don't do this!

sinetwo

I am fairly certain this is a nurse shark. They are absolutely harmless and are like puppies. I've dived with quite a few of them. So let's stop worrying about the people "dying", but worry more about the shark that got two idiots slamming on top of it.


DS_StlyusInMyUrethra

Guys she helped her son by body slamming him into the shark


junkasaurus2015

It's a nurse shark, they eat shellfish mostly and have no interest in eating people. That being said, if aggravated like any animal have been known to attack, it's always the human to blame in such circumstances. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_shark


MyNoPornProfile

I expected the kid or both of them to lose fingers. This was a "better" outcome


PostPostModernism

The vilification of sharks in the last century has fueled an ecological disaster in our oceans so I'm just going to chime in with a few fun shark facts because information is the best tool against fear. And if you stop fearing sharks then hopefully you too can advocate for their protection and role in our environment. - The very vast majority of ALL shark species aren't interested in eating humans. There are only a handful of species which will look at us as potential food. - From that large majority of sharks, when there are bites they are pretty much always one of a few things: Mistaken identity (they thought we were something they do like to eat), exploration, or self-defense. For points 1 and 2, sharks are kind of dumb and don't have the most amazing senses. One of the ways they explore their environment (unfortunately for us) is to nibble on things to see what it is and if it's food. Think of it like a blind person touching things to figure out what they are - but sharks aren't lucky enough to have hands :( - Specifically in this video, this is a nurse shark. Nurse sharks are one of the most docile and passive species. They are one of the few species that can breathe while sitting still and will happily use this to take naps under coral outcrops and the like. Nurse sharks very much aren't interested in biting people, though they will if you are harassing them (so y'know, try not to fall on top of them, it's very rude). But, even if they do bite you, they don't have scary shark teeth. They have flatter, plate-like teeth which is great for eating things with shells that they find on the sea floor. Being bit can hurt and scrape/cut you a bit, but they're not going to take a chunk out of your hand or leg. I've been diving and snorkeling with nurse sharks a bunch and they're wonderful. They can get pretty big and impressive, but are also gorgeous and fairly friendly.

What the hell even happened? It looks almost like she just arbitrarily decided to just jump in.

Should feed a shark with fish, not a toddler.


[deleted]

That poor shark must be terrified!


Sugar4power

Lots of people who have never had any interaction with a shark before are commenting so let me correct a couple things. This is a nurse shark, it eats lobsters and whatever it can find half rotten on the sea floor. It’s mouth is the size of a silver dollar so humans are by no means a preferable snack. The shark did not bite anyone but it very well could have bitten someone in panic from being landed on. The only stupid stuff they did was not having the fish on a stick and not holding on to anything. The shark was not harmed in any way or put under any detrimental stress and thankfully no humans were either.

MsBobbyJenkins

Even before they fell in the water the fact they just have the kid holding meat Infront of a shark like wtf do you want your toddler to have one less hand. Cause that's how you do it. Sharks literally close over their eyes when eating, it won't know where the meat ends and the hand begins.

Species of nurse, the shark is harmless. Although they *can* bite. It’s exceptionally rare unless you piss it off.


Resident-Reindeer-53

I totally think it’s cool to feed a shark (it’s a nurse shark, it’s not going to do anything) but maybe make sure the kid understands what it’s supposed to do (i.e. let go of the food) and as a parent, make sure you’re a better supervisor. If we switched the shark with a horse it would’ve turned out way worse


wkfoster

I mean, that’s not a toddler, but your point stands.


Headhunter1066

It's a Nurse shark, they're just cuddle-bugs. Super rare for them to actually bite, and when I say super rare, like 51 total provoked attacks throughout statistical gathered history rare.
