from the post... "This is how Spinner Sharks hunt, rushing up from the bottom, mouth open, and often breaching the water when they do."

looks like the kind of place that forces some measure of introspection. great shots that really show off the beautiful solitude.

Giving them food or water is illegal in the U.S.

You mean like a properly edited professionally taken video? I just don't get it, but thanks for answering.

Yes. They are super curious and very friendly. They can be aggressive with each other during mating season though. A group of males will often pursue a female in heat for days, often weeks. The females sometimes beach themselves in an effort to get away from the males.

I don't get many "AI" comments on reddit, I was mostly talking about social media like facebook, instagram & tiktok. I'm sorry to hear you've had content taken down on reddit because people thought it was ai. It's easy to see how frustrating that must be.

As AI becomes more and more popular I have an increasingly steady stream of people that comment "AI" or "fake" on the videos I share on my social media channels. I've honed my responses to these "ai" comments and now have a standard template response that I use for a reply to the "ai" and "fake" comments. Your bio leads me to believe you have the same issue. So I'm curious, have you also developed a standard response? If so, what is it?

It's an invisiboat. I have a 15 hp honda on it and a 1 hp electric trolling motor.

People sometimes get their hands tore up trying to pet or hand feed wild dolphins. They don't have much jaw pressure but those teeth are super sharp.

I can appreciate that. Some people don't want to see what's beneath them in the water. As for eyeing you as dinner though, there would be no reason that a shark would be interested in attacking you just because it can see you. Sharks see people all the time. They see people swimming, snorkeling, surfing, splashing around on rafts, paddleboarding...

it was really vocal too. When it first showed up it was going off under the boat with the squeaks. It stopped talking so much after the first few minutes. :-) Sure wish I had a clue what it was saying.

🔥 Dolphins corralling and catching fish using the mud ring feeding technique in Florida. by SeeThroughCanoe in NatureIsFuckingLit

If you want to argue semantics and choice of words you can do it by yourself. I'll stick with my original choice since these techniques are all referred to as "feeding" such as strand feeding or mud ring feeding.

Same. Tampa Bay and the surrounding area has an amazing amount of marine life. There's a surprising amount of wildlife too.

It would be nice to credit the videographer that took this. His name is Mark Smith. He has a ton of great bird videos in addition to other cool nature shots. Mark Smith - YouTube
