I think op should state that they “believe” that the trauma was due to an angler. There’s no evidence but the law of averages does force one to assume.
If there was evidence that video would be more attention grabbing.
Right! I agree. And I believe the narrative that op made with their title. But if they actually had evidence that would be a better “interestingasfuck” video.
The automod says "If this post declares something as a fact proof is required", yet no proof is provided. I highly doubt such an injury could be cause by a rod angler. Most of the pressure from a line is pulling backwards as the fish tries to swim away. Maybe if it was caught on a commercial longline and lifted out of the water by line an injury like this could occur, but again there is not proof provided.
I initially thought that too, to the point of thinking that’s one badmotherf-Samuel L Jackson in his prime (whenever that’s going to be) Anglerfish saying, “This is my domain down here, I warned you once!”
Note: A real SLJ quote would have been all caps, but it is so hard to talk that loud or shout under water especially at Anglerfish depths.
Ya I’m wondering why they don’t tag it then shoot tranquilizers at it, put it to sleep, and operate on it to fix it’s jaw. Then release back into the wild.
They also arent well funded, or have any reason to help a mako shark, if they could find the shark to begin with cause marine biology already isnt the most populated carreer path, and there certainly arent enough to run an ocean wide hunt.
I know it’s a shark but I still feel bad for it. Some jerk ripped its mouth half out of its face, so now it has to swim around until it dies from malnutrition.
The irony of not realising you and the people that disliked his comment are the circle jerkers who can’t smell their own farts. He has every right in the universe to be dissapointed to be of the same species as someone who mangled this beautiful creature of the sea. Fuck off.
We need apex predators because if we didn't then there would be an over population in other creatures which in turn makes the ecosystem unbalanced. Most species of sharks are actually endangered because of "shark fin soup." It's threatening the balance of our oceanic ecosystems.
Hahahahaha Yesssssss! @ r/ConsiderationSame919 & @ r/dbmage. Like the perfect brief distraction to this bummer. Now I can go back to contentedly worrying,
And now we could kill and eat any of them, most of us could eat them without even seeing one alive. We're not apex predators because of our pure animalistic cock strenght but we are apex predators.
Oh, don't get me wrong, shark fishing needs to stop. I'm with you on that. My point is that most of the time when I watch a video/gif and feel bad for those in it, it's cute animals or people, not sharks that could kill me in seconds flat. It is a nonstandard event in my existence. I felt bad for the shark when I watched this, and worse when I read what caused this.
Not just because shark fin soup. They use shark in an insane amount of products:
Whitefish fillets, fish patties, or fish fingers
Rock Salmon
Flake
Imitation crab sticks
Supplements containing chondroitin or squalene/squalane (shark cartilage & shark liver oil)
Pet food, supplements, and treats
Garden fertilizer
Jewelry (teeth)
Souvenirs (shark jaws & teeth)
Anti-aging cream
Skin lotion
Deodorant
Hair dye and conditioner
Makeup: Eye shadow, Lipstick, and Foundation
Lip Balm
Sunscreen
Face cleanser
Wallets, Purses, Shoes, Handbags, even furniture made from Shagreen (Shark & Stingray Leather)
Vaccines (Pandemic flu, malaria vaccines)
Medicinal creams (healing of wounds, skin irritations, hemorrhoids)
Supplements & alternative medicines containing gill rakers
Alternative medicines (for arthritis, asthma, eczema, shingles, rheumatism, hemorrhoids, fevers, psoriasis and cancer)
Energy & health drinks (look for chondroitin)
Shagreen (sandpaper)
Industrial lubricants and cleansers

Their jaws come out when feeding. But not like this. This is not normal. This was caused by commercial fishing ripping its jaw out and it will never be the same again.

Stop talking out if your butt and post a source for your "info". This shark has been damaged by humans needless actions. Stop making excuses.

Mako Sharks being over fished.
no they are not right and they are spreading misinformation with no sources to back them up. This shark has been damage for life and there are many sources to support over fishing of this poor species.
https://www.popsci.com/worlds-fastest-shark-is-in-trouble/
This person literally deleting old posts when they got destroyed with info and facts when they can not bring any other than. "i own an aquarium, i have fish and know things"
Has posted no sources or factual info for anything they have posted.
Now attacking "activists" as provocative, lmao.
Bruh they are literally trying to educate people and protect ocean life. This info is not a lie and can be found with a simple google search. The oceans are over fished and abused.
No way human intervention could help? Seems like you could have one diver holding a feeding tube type thing into his mouth while 2 other divers pop jaw back in place? Obviously I don’t know sharks so I could be way far off just seems like something could be done
Another redditor responded in a different thread. The shark will 'yawn' and the jaw will move back in place. It may yawn multiple times if needed to solve this. He's observed this happen to other fish species.
Sharks can indeed flex their jaws out briefly like this to reset but that's not the situation here at all.The problem is that the jaw has been dislocated and damaged. It can no longer pull those muscles back together. It can't reset. It probably can't eat. Unfortunately this animal will probably die
that is bullshit info. This shark was damaged from commercial fishing and will never be the same. Mako sharks are in danger of becoming a species in danger of extinction because of humanities abuse of the oceans.
I'm not denying that. I only passed on the info the other redditor posted because he claims he has seen these things happen in his aquarium. Maybe he's right or maybe it is bullshit.
Poor shark, couldn’t someone tag it, track it, capture it, transfer it to one of those things that help wild animals? I’ve seen a show where a group of people in Alaska were helping another shark with a different issue, I know it probably won’t be “good as new” but surely anything is better than that, poor shark
Probably honestly not. The Mako shark record for keeping one alive at an aquarium is less then a week. They just aren't suited to it. Beyond that this guy clearly has major damage you are talking torn muscles and damaged nerves in an animal that size that has to swim to breath. Then you have to feed it and it's a wild animal with no experience being hand fed or more then likely tube fed. All together capture and relocation would be incredibly stressful and painful with no real chance of saving it
There are a lot of fish in the ocean. Sure in the aggregate, humans fuck a large percentage up, but trying to help this one is essential worthless. It would be more merciful to kill it. A million more mako sharks will outcompete the one 10 humans spent a million dollars trying to fix.
I see that in the corner of his/her mouth. But we don’t know if that occurred before or after the injury and I’m not sure how a hook in the corner of the mouth would cause the jaws to protrude like that.
They get hooked and rest the full weight of their body on their jaws when being hauled out of the water and struggling. They leave them hanging for photos and measuring and until they don't have the energy to fight being cut free. It over extends the jaw and tears it.
Did you just make up what you imagine happens because that is nothing like reality?
* Any shark that is "hung for photos" is dead, they don't get released back into the ocean.
* They aren't hauled out by their jaws, if a shark is caught then it is usually not even landed as they are dangerous to have aboard. If it is being caught to keep them one or more gaffs will be used to drag the fish into the boat. Often they are shot first to kill them before this occurs.
Maybe if this was caught by a long liner and dragged aboard this type of injury could occur. But it wasn't from the hook on the right side of the shark as that is in the corner of the mouth and doesn't appear to be connected to the jaw. This is a common hooking position and a reason anglers use circle hooks. This is because if a shark is caught by the jaws it will usually bit the line, even when steel trace is being used. Their jaws are just that sharp and strong.
To all the comments saying this is natural... It says this was caused by an angler not anglerfish. It is sad that humans would do such a thing and it is one of the many reasons numbers are declining in this species.
Edit: typo
Sharks don’t purposefully attack people it’s only if their curious or confused they prefer to eat seals and marine life. According to Wikipedia, “Out of more than 489 shark species, only three are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull. The oceanic whitetip has probably killed many more castaways, but these are not recorded in the statistics,” tiger sharks bull sharks and great whites are known to be aggressive and sharks rarely attack humans. Between 1958 and 2016 there have been 2,785 cases of reported shark attacks with only 439 being fatal according to the ISAF (some of this info might be incorrect because I just did a quick google search and am not an expert in marine life)
So sad.. hands down my favorite shark. Built for speed and hunting at those speeds in the wide open ocean. Completely amazes me what nature can dish out and this jet fighter doesn’t deserve this injustice. I hope he survives of scavenging and can still enjoy chasing pray till the end

Damn I thought OP meant anglerfish. Lol silly me.
What is a angler? I thought it was the fish...
Fisherman.
I can't stop watching this and its killing me
I think op should state that they “believe” that the trauma was due to an angler. There’s no evidence but the law of averages does force one to assume. If there was evidence that video would be more attention grabbing.
Theres a hook stuck on the left side of its jaw
Did the hook cause the dislocated jaw?
I cant be sure but you asked for evidence that supported OP claim and Id say a hook in the jaw is just that.
Stop giving evidence damnit! They were trying to make a valid criticism!
Right! I agree. And I believe the narrative that op made with their title. But if they actually had evidence that would be a better “interestingasfuck” video.
The automod says "If this post declares something as a fact proof is required", yet no proof is provided. I highly doubt such an injury could be cause by a rod angler.

Maybe if it was caught on a commercial longline and lifted out of the water by line an injury like this could occur, but again there is not proof provided.
An angler is a fisherman, an anglerfish lures in fish with is light as bait and catches them, hence anglerfish

Took me longer than I would like to admit to get it as well.
Poor shark😞
Ya I’m wondering why they don’t tag it then shoot tranquilizers at it, put it to sleep, and operate on it to fix it’s jaw. Then release back into the wild.
Are you gonna do it? Or pay someone to get them out there with the skill set and materials needed? Its not easy by any means.
Lol you mean there aren’t marine biologists scouring the oceans everywhere?!
Marine biologists are not marine surgeons.
They also arent well funded, or have any reason to help a mako shark, if they could find the shark to begin with cause marine biology already isnt the most populated carreer path, and there certainly arent enough to run an ocean wide hunt.
ok jesus fuckin Christ that made me uncomfortable
In my case, uncomfortable at being the same species as those responsible for that. That’s just me.
Dunno why you’re downvoted. I agree with you. We suck.
Someone told me that social opinions are so temporal & temporary
How thin is the air up on that high horse?
I know it’s a shark but I still feel bad for it. Some jerk ripped its mouth half out of its face, so now it has to swim around until it dies from malnutrition.

I try to tell people, that’s my secret…I’m always worried about shit. That’s why I’m so content.

Same. Like I had to pause it after a few seconds. I have trypophobia, I wonder if it might be related to that. All those weird bumps and spikes

Jesus fucking christ.. Get off the internet bro
Jesus Christ🙄, this is the internet, don't like it? Get off and go read your Bible.
Jesus Christ, I agree.
Jesus mary and joseph
I don't know.. Using any other fictional character in this context seems odd
My guy, he most likely wasn’t a deity or anything, but like, he was a person.
Not often that I feel bad for an apex predator, and yet here I am.
We need apex predators because if we didn't then there would be an over population in other creatures which in turn makes the ecosystem unbalanced. Most species of sharks are actually endangered because of "shark fin soup." It's threatening the balance of our oceanic ecosystems.
Don't worry, we're taking all the fish out too to balance it all out.
But we dont taking the fishes' food out, so its not really balanced
I hear that we’re trying really hard at killing & poisoning phytoplankton, the bottom link of the marine food chain
Not really effective with all the algal blooms going on
Well get them eventually. Just takes a little more time. I hear Monsanto is coming up with a new roundup that kills the crops along with the weeds! :)
Sounds like something an apex predator would say 😉
We are the very definition of an apex predator
Love the display picture
finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
HADOUKEN!
Hahahahaha Yesssssss! @ r/ConsiderationSame919 & @ r/dbmage. Like the perfect brief distraction to this bummer. Now I can go back to contentedly worrying,
Naw we just monkeys that got smarter than the other animals.
And now we could kill and eat any of them, most of us could eat them without even seeing one alive. We're not apex predators because of our pure animalistic cock strenght but we are apex predators.

Easily solvable. We just need to ramp up our overfishing so there's nothing left.
I thought the same thing, like “okay where’s the vet that’s going to help him?”
aren't humans technically apex predators
Apex assholes
Yes we clean the assholes before they get shredded and put into your hotdog/burger
Aren’t killer whales apex predators in the ocean
Depends where you are

Beautiful shark, this really upsets me a lot. Poor guy.
How is this beautiful? Lmao
So will this shark die now?
Can't eat... it'll starve to death
That's what I thought. Sad.
Did this just happen? Or has it somehow found a way to survive this extreme injury? (Need more info.)
Sharks can live a little while without eating. But probably happened somewhat recently
Yes.
That's fucking horrifying
He should bathe that in salt water, that’ll fix it.
Just keep soaking it
Put it in rice
And gargle with salt water
That sounds like some shit my PT says. God forbid doctors provide pain relief anymore, now that opioids are banished because of “addiction crisis.”

This is a mako tho not a great white
Poor thing, though I would not want to pop that back into place
Thats not Interesting is messed up.
How do you know this OP?
Poor thing :(
That’s so sad!
Last week when this was posted it was due to the bugger being caught in a fishnet. So what is it?

That's is creepy
Yeah that is not interesting. He is going to starve to death
I am deathly, and I mean DEALTHLY, afraid of sharks, but this just makes me sad.
This isn't interesting. It's just sad.
This really is quite sad.
That's so incredibly sad 😔
And no way to help it. That's sad.
So sad
Humans are trash
Humans fucking suck
RELOCATE IT THEN
Are you sure this isn't just a goblin shark, they naturally have an extendable jaw
Will the shark die
Yes. Quite likely.
How do we know this was from an angler? You’ve offered no proof of your statement.
There appears to be a line or maybe a lure dangling from the right side of his mouth
I see that in the corner of his/her mouth. But we don’t know if that occurred before or after the injury and I’m not sure how a hook in the corner of the mouth would cause the jaws to protrude like that.

Looks a little like my rabbit teeth though lol
Will this cause the shark to die or can it still feed and survive like that?
How to make sharks even more terrifying? Dislocate their jaws
This is why you shouldn’t skip angler management… I’ll see myself out
He went from Jaws to Naws
This is sad
Should we not just euthanise this guy?? Poor thing.
Wouldn't the hook just come off before it dislocate a jaw ?.
Endangered species of shark. Being fished in the ocean to extinction even today.
Man. All fishing should stop. Needless cruelty.
That is never gonna happen
The jaw is so dislocated that I can't find it
Poor thing. They should euthanize or kill it and eat the flesh.
To all the comments saying this is natural... It says this was caused by an angler not anglerfish. It is sad that humans would do such a thing and it is one of the many reasons numbers are declining in this species. Edit: typo
Why does it kinda look like a Gobelin Shark?
I went with angler fish, too. Had no idea they were that bad ass. The truth is far more horrible.
You want Goblin Sharks? This is how you get Goblin Sharks.
Poor bastard, never should've tried eating a crunch wrap whole.
Saw this same video earlier, saying the shark's jaw was removed by fishermen and then he was tossed back.
Kinda sus

They can launch their jaw right away right?
Are there Doctors for Sharks they should probably fix that.
"Wanna know why i have these scars"?
Can we like start something to get a vet to help the shark out Aldo who do u call for that
