one of these talks are from stumbling

little bit of background about Who I am
I'm honestly a shark diver shark
behaviorist I was the former editor of

Spanish: 
(Español)
(Español)
(Español)
(Español)
(español) ok sin más adiós por favor Eli:
ok, les presento chicos por tenerme realmente muy
feliz de presentar hoy, así que es
Ha pasado un tiempo desde que realmente he hecho
una de estas conversaciones es de tropezar
alrededor de un poco me disculpo sólo un
un poco de historia sobre quién soy
Honestamente soy un tiburón buzo tiburón
conductista yo era el ex editor de

English: 
shark diver magazine we published a
magazine in 2000 we started publishing
in 2003 we published a 25 issues we did
four for eight years and it was during
this journey that truly got to learn a
lot about sharks being the the the
editor of this magazine where you know
we learned a lot and learned a lot about
shark behavior about you know from
different species of sharks because you
know obviously there's 500 different
types of sharks out in the world
and you know just how different each and
every one of these sharks are it was
during this time that while I was the
publisher of these magazines one of the
ways that we were funding the magazine
was we began organizing expeditions to
different places and we would take
people with us and one of the places
that we started visiting in the very
beginning which was Tiger Beach Tiger

Spanish: 
la revista Shark Diver publicamos un
revista en 2000 comenzamos a publicar
en 2003 publicamos 25 números que hicimos
cuatro por ocho años y fue durante
este viaje que realmente aprendió un
mucho sobre los tiburones siendo el el el
editor de esta revista donde sabes
aprendimos mucho y aprendimos mucho sobre
comportamiento de tiburón sobre usted sabe de
diferentes especies de tiburones porque
obviamente sé que hay 500 diferentes
tipos de tiburones en el mundo
y sabes cuán diferente cada uno
cada uno de estos tiburones es que era
durante este tiempo que mientras yo era el
editor de estas revistas una de las
formas en que estábamos financiando la revista
empezamos a organizar expediciones para
diferentes lugares y tomaríamos
personas con nosotros y uno de los lugares
que comenzamos a visitar en el mismo
comenzando que era Tiger Beach Tiger

English: 
beaches has kind of been the the area
where I truly truly began to understand
shark behavior and and how they how
sharks interact with people how sharks
interact with each other how sharks
communicate with each other and it was
during this you know visiting this place
and visiting it different times
throughout the year and and actually
working with the same sharks you know we
we've seen some of the same sharks visit
this location from from the very start
so 2003 2005 when we were visiting and
we were getting a lot of the same tigers
a lot of the same lemon sharks showing
up to these locations and when I you
know the more time we spent there I
started working with the sharks a lot
more I put the camera down and we
started taking a box down and we started
feeding the Sharks there and it was
during this time that I truly truly got
to understand and learn about sharks and
shark behavior so the Tigers the lemons

Spanish: 
playas ha sido la zona
donde realmente realmente comencé a entender
comportamiento de tiburones y cómo y cómo
los tiburones interactúan con las personas cómo los tiburones
interactuar entre sí cómo los tiburones
comunicarse entre sí y fue
durante esto sabes visitar este lugar
y visitarlo en diferentes momentos
durante todo el año yy en realidad
trabajando con los mismos tiburones sabes que
hemos visto algunos de los mismos tiburones visitar
esta ubicación desde el principio
2003 2003 cuando estábamos de visita y
estábamos recibiendo muchos de los mismos tigres
muchos de los mismos tiburones limón que muestran
hasta estos lugares y cuando yo
sé cuanto más tiempo pasamos allí yo
empecé a trabajar mucho con los tiburones
más bajé la cámara y nosotros
empezamos a bajar una caja y empezamos
alimentando a los tiburones allí y fue
durante este tiempo que realmente realmente tengo
entender y aprender sobre tiburones y
comportamiento de los tiburones para que los tigres los limones

English: 
and and then later on when the great
hammerhead started showing up I was able
to find out about how they you know how
these sharks interact with each other
and you know how how they interact with
us and and it was you know working with
the different sharks they're like you
know the you know the ones that we got
to name Emma and hook and seeing how
when they would come into the box you
know I was I was able to not only you
know we could tell the difference
between the Sharks but we could also see
the way they were working you know they
they would interact with each other
where you know we I could see that the
you know some of the shark the dominance
Beechum from the larger sharks to the
smaller sharks the lemon sharks and the
tire
sharks so we got to really see different
personalities and different behaviors
and you know some sharks are shy some
sharks are a lot more aggressive some

Spanish: 
y luego cuando el gran
Hammerhead comenzó a aparecer pude
para saber cómo saben cómo
estos tiburones interactúan entre sí
y sabes cómo interactúan con
nosotros y fue y sabes trabajar con
los diferentes tiburones son como tú
sabes el sabes los que tenemos
nombrar a Emma y enganchar y ver cómo
cuando entrarían en la caja que
sé que yo era capaz no solo de ti
Sabemos que podemos notar la diferencia
entre los tiburones pero también pudimos ver
la forma en que trabajaban sabes que
interactuarían entre ellos
donde sabes que pude ver que el
sabes algo del tiburón el dominio
Beechum de los tiburones más grandes a la
tiburones más pequeños los tiburones limón y el
neumático
tiburones, así que realmente pudimos ver diferentes
personalidades y comportamientos diferentes
y sabes que algunos tiburones son tímidos
los tiburones son mucho más agresivos algunos

Spanish: 
los tiburones son sus jugadores y era solo
una para mí fue realmente emocionante
tiempo para aprender a documentar y
entiendo que sabes cómo estos tiburones
comportado y así que lo que aprendí
sabes cuando la gente comenzó
viendo lo que estábamos haciendo yo estaba poniendo
un montón de fotografías fijas que
lo que eran lo que decían era
que lo que estamos haciendo con tonic
inmovilidad bien con tónico tiburones tigre
inmovilidad en la que realmente no entran
inmovilidad tónica hacen relajarse hacen
se dejan relajar por ti pero
no es cierto no es cierto tónico
inmovilidad por lo que las imágenes mucha gente
están viendo más imágenes como esta donde
sabes que tengo a los tiburones yendo
boca abajo o vertical y son
diciendo que sabes que los estamos poniendo a
duerme bien puedes puedes saber que puedes
hacer eso con tiburones más pequeños como arrecifes
tiburones pero con tiburones más grandes como
Tigres en realidad no se vuelven verdaderos

English: 
sharks are their players and it was just
a for me it was really exciting time
time to learn to document and to
understand you know how these sharks
behaved and and so what what I learned
you know when people first started
seeing what we were doing I was putting
out a bunch of still photographs than
what they were what they were saying was
that what we're doing with tonic
immobility well with tiger sharks tonic
immobility they don't really go into
tonic immobility they do relax they do
allow themselves to relax for you but
it's not a true it's not true tonic
immobility so the images a lot of people
are seeing more images like this where
you know I have the the sharks going
upside down or vertical and they're
saying you know we're putting them to
sleep well well you can you know you can
do that with smaller sharks like reef
sharks but with larger sharks like
Tigers they don't actually go into true

Spanish: 
tónico como otras especies de tiburones
así que como trabajo tónico inmovilidad despierta
y nadar bien, la razón detrás de esto es
porque tienes artes
buscar el tiburón de la leche no es la hembra
por el senador por su aleta caudal
realmente nos dan crédito a la cola y
relajará al tiburón hembra para que el
tiburones machos

English: 
tonic like other species of sharks
so like working tonic immobility wake up
and swim on well the reason behind it is
because you have arts
search the milk shark is not the female
by the senator by their tail fin but
they really credit the tail to us and
it'll relax the female shark so that the
male sharks

English: 
the idea for her to flip upside down you
can wear without you don't do it so the
male is gonna hear a lot of damage most
of the time with the two three sharks
and it's a lot but what we're seeing
here is obviously that the shark is just
a lot very receptive to the male and I
see with it

Spanish: 
la idea de que ella te voltee
puede usar sin que no lo hagas para que el
el hombre va a escuchar mucho daño más
del tiempo con los dos tres tiburones
y es mucho pero lo que estamos viendo
aquí es obviamente que el tiburón es solo
mucho muy receptivo para el hombre y yo
ver con eso

English: 
tiger sharks the tiger shark I can hear
you oh I see I'm okay I apologize the
videos every now okay um man let me see
how to how I can do that with your
computer so which one the volume of my
computer yeah just no worried a little
bit lower it so it doesn't matter you
can lower it up you can bring it up
after the presentation if you want okay
well but but then can you hear me talk
while the video is playing or yes I mean
here you that's why I'm asking you to
lower the volume of the computer oh no
no that's fine I apologize if I can
lower the the so you don't hear the
audio of the water and you have still
that work yes hmm well you can hear me
yes
okay let's see can you still hear me yes

Spanish: 
tiburones tigre tiburón tigre que puedo escuchar
oh oh veo que estoy bien me disculpo el
videos cada ahora bien um hombre déjame ver
cómo puedo hacer eso con tu
computadora, ¿cuál es el volumen de mi
computadora sí simplemente no preocupado un poco
un poco más bajo para que no te importe
puede bajarlo puede subirlo
después de la presentación si quieres bien
bien pero entonces puedes escucharme hablar
mientras se reproduce el video o sí, quiero decir
aquí es por eso que te pido que
bajar el volumen de la computadora oh no
no, está bien, me disculpo si puedo
baje el para que no escuche el
audio del agua y todavía tienes
ese trabajo si hmm bueno puedes escucharme
si
bien, vamos a ver, ¿todavía puedes oírme?

Spanish: 
Tigres
Puedo revisar esa pequeña pieza otra vez
Escúchame ahora
hice algo cuando el cuando
tener el audio para el para el
presentación simplemente te encierra bien

English: 
Tigers
I can go through that little piece again
hear me now
did I do something when the when you
have the audio for the for the
presentation it just locks you up okay

English: 
then what I'll do is I'll play clips of
the video and then all and you know yes
that's really all right then we'll do
that
okay so with with tonic immobility with
with with with the different species of
sharks you know they all they all
respond to to to tonic differently where
as where I'm tale grabbing the dusky
shark and a flipper upside down that's a
that's a foramen and normal the reason
why nature has done this for sharks are
allowed this for sharks is because in
the shark world the mating is extremely
violent and to keep from hurting the
females too badly they they tend to go
into they get they go into tonic which
will allow the males to to mate with the
females without hurting them and without
being too rough so what I've seen with
the tiger sharks when I've worked with
the tiger sharks is we're seeing a
little bit it's a little different when
it comes to how the tiger sharks mate

Spanish: 
entonces lo que haré es reproducir videos de
el video y luego todo y sabes si
eso está bien, entonces haremos
ese
bien, así que con la inmovilidad tónica con
con con las diferentes especies de
tiburones sabes que todos ellos todos
responder a tónico de manera diferente donde
como donde estoy cuento agarrando el oscuro
tiburón y una aleta al revés que es una
ese es un foramen y normal la razón
por qué la naturaleza ha hecho esto por los tiburones son
permitido esto para los tiburones es porque en
el mundo de los tiburones el apareamiento es extremadamente
violento y para evitar dañar el
las hembras muy mal tienden a ir
en lo que consiguen entran en tónico que
permitirá a los machos aparearse con el
hembras sin lastimarlas y sin
ser demasiado duro, así que lo que he visto con
los tiburones tigre cuando he trabajado con
los tiburones tigre es que estamos viendo una
poco es un poco diferente cuando
se trata de cómo los tiburones tigre se aparean

English: 
with with with with the females and the
males and the females Eiger sharks are
two because tiger sharks are extremely
violent I mean when you see a female
come back from from from mating she's
very very beat up she's scarred up she's
got chunks of fins missing so we're
talking about very it's a very violent
courtship and so what the tonic does
that allows the females to relax so that
the may can be a lot more receptive to
the male's without hurting themselves
too much or without getting hurt in the
process of the mating and so what I'm
what I'm trying to what I was trying to
figure out with why the tiger sharks are
receptive to my touch is their because
of their their ampullae of Lorenzini so
underneath the seven senses that sharks
have for four you know which is taste

Spanish: 
con con con las hembras y el
los machos y las hembras son tiburones Eiger
dos porque los tiburones tigre son extremadamente
violento quiero decir cuando ves una mujer
volver de de apareamiento ella es
muy muy maltratada ella está asustada ella es
nos faltan trozos de aletas, así que estamos
hablando muy es muy violento
cortejo y qué hace el tónico
eso permite que las hembras se relajen para que
el mayo puede ser mucho más receptivo a
los machos sin lastimarse
demasiado o sin lastimarse en el
proceso de apareamiento y entonces lo que soy
lo que estoy tratando de lo que estaba tratando de
averiguar por qué los tiburones tigre son
receptivo a mi toque es su porque
de sus ampollas de Lorenzini tan
debajo de los siete sentidos que los tiburones
tener para cuatro sabes cuál es el gusto

Spanish: 
tocar sonido vista auditiva y luego
tienen la línea lateral tienen los seis
aunque es una línea lateral que
detecta vibraciones por lo que la línea lateral
corre por el costado de los tiburones y
entonces tienen estos muy sensibles
poros en la nariz y en todo
su cara llamada ampollas
Zini que detecta una señal eléctrica.
que todas las formas de vida se desprenden bien
cuando manipulas eso permite que
Tiburones para relajarse y algunos de los tiburones
entrar en tónico completo como lo hacemos con
estos con el cuando los volteas
boca abajo y agárralos por la cola
las ampollas de Lorenzini y ciertos
las especies permiten que los tiburones se duerman pero
con tiburones como los tiburones tigre no lo hacen
van, se relajan mucho y si
He visto comportamientos diferentes
cuando estoy cuando estoy manipulando el
Los tiburones como ese tienden a relajarse y
permítame recogerlos y lo haré
te muestro en el siguiente video

English: 
touch sound sight hearing and then they
have the lateral line they have the six
though it's a lateral line which which
detects vibrations so the lateral line
runs across the side of the sharks and
then they have these very sensitive
pores on their nose and and throughout
their face called the ampullae
Zini which detects a electrical signal
that that all life-forms give off well
when you manipulate that it allows the
Sharks to relax and some of the Sharks
go into complete tonic like we do with
these with with the when you flip them
upside down and grab them by the tail
the ampullae of Lorenzini and certain
species allow sharks to go asleep but
with sharks like tiger sharks they don't
they go they get really relaxed and if
I've seen different behaviors happen
when I'm when I'm manipulating the
Sharks like that they tend to relax and
allow me to either pick them up and I'll
show you in this next video

English: 
where

Spanish: 
dónde

English: 
you
you
you
you

Spanish: 
tú
tú
tú
tú

Spanish: 
tú
y ese comportamiento que y realmente
sentir como velocidades cuando quieren
su presa
conchas bastante comunes y tal si
Siento que por ese comportamiento es mi
el tigre girará y rodará en mi mano
en comparación con otras especies pero ya sabes

English: 
you
and that behavior that and so I really
feel like speeds they when they like
their prey
pretty common shells and and such so if
I feel because of that behavior is my
tiger will spin and roll in my hand
compared to other species but you know

Spanish: 
siempre lo que veo cuando trabajo con el
diferentes Tigres es que siempre es muy
relajado lo siento en este video antes de que yo
juega para que el tiburón tigre entre
ella está saltando de trabajo la está abriendo
boca pero todavía está muy muy relajado
movimiento a pesar de que parece que ella
podría ser sabes mostrando agresión
ella no es simplemente es más reflexivo es
reflexivo es lo que está haciendo cuando cuando
ella es cuando ella está haciendo eso

English: 
always what I see when working with the
different Tigers is it's always very
relaxed sorry in this video before I
play it so the tiger shark comes in
she's job hopping she's opening her
mouth but it's still very very relaxed
motion even though it seems like she
might be you know showing aggression
she's not it's just more reflective it's
reflexive is what she's doing when when
she's when she's doing that

Spanish: 
así que eso es extremadamente relajado
entrando frotando su frotando su
nariz y ella está respondiendo y
una de las críticas que he
siempre que sabes que los estoy obligando a
haz esto bien, quiero decir que no puedes forzar un
sabes un tiburón tigre de 800 libras para hacer
todo lo que ella no quiere hacer sabes
Ya sabes cuando estos tiburones no
tengo ganas de rodar no hay nada que pueda
en realidad hacer físicamente tomó fuerza uno de
estos grandes tiburones para rodar esto es solo
me permiten hacer eso y sabes
esa es la que es la continuación
misterio de por qué sucede esto y por qué
por qué estos tiburones realmente están permitiendo
este tipo de interacciones suceden
sigue siendo algo que yo te
Sé que quiero aprender y quiero
entiendo mejor bien aquí en que esto
el siguiente es Emma y este es nuestro el
reina reinante de Tiger Beach ella es
ella está empujando tal vez empujando 14 pies ella
cuando está embarazada está muy por encima de un

English: 
so that's just that's extremely relaxed
coming in rubbing her rubbing her her
nose and and she's responding to it and
one of the one of the critiques I've
always that you know I'm forcing them to
do this well I mean you can't force a
you know an 800-pound tiger shark to do
anything she doesn't want to do you know
I've you know when these sharks don't
feel like rolling there's nothing I can
actually do physically took force one of
these big sharks to roll this is just
them allowing me to do that and you know
that's the that's the the continued
mystery of why why this happens and why
why these sharks are actually allowing
these types of interactions to happen
it's still just something that I you
know I want to learn and I want to
understand better well here on that this
next one is Emma and this is our the
reigning queen of Tiger Beach she's
she's pushing maybe pushing 14 feet she
when she's pregnant she's way over a

English: 
thousand pounds and she is you can see
here when she comes in she has
completely relaxed and just allows these
and this interaction that happened I
mean this is just her
but you know trying to understand why
you know why it happens or why she's you
know she allows these and and the only
thing I can think of it has to do with
mating whether it's whether it's part of
the courtship or part of because when of
when a female is is not interested in
mating with them with a male what I've
seen them do is though most of the time
how a male tiger shark grabs on to a

Spanish: 
mil libras y ella se puede ver
aquí cuando ella entra ella tiene
completamente relajado y solo permite que estos
y esta interacción que sucedió yo
significa que esto es solo ella
pero sabes tratar de entender por qué
sabes por qué sucede o por qué ella eres tú
sabe que ella permite estos y el único
Lo que se me ocurre tiene que ver con
apareamiento ya sea si es parte de
el cortejo o parte de porque cuando de
cuando una mujer no está interesada en
aparearse con ellos con un hombre lo que he
visto que hacen es aunque la mayoría de las veces
cómo un tiburón tigre macho se agarra a una

English: 
female they come up to the sides either
bite their fins their dorsal fin their
pectoral fin or their tail fin and
usually I know when I when I've seen
that that kind that type of mate when a
female comes in and she's got a really
torn up dorsal fin or tail fin it just
shows me that she's not receptive to the
male because I've put my hands on her
back and and when I do that when I put
my hands on on a Tigers back show
they'll actually physically try to buck
me off or push me off of her and you
know because she's thinking where she's
responding to me like if I'm a male
tiger shark trying to mate with her the
successful mating that I I'm gathering
is when they're when the females have
they're extremely bit up on the sides of
their body which means they have allowed
the tiger shark enough time to come in
and actually grab on to the sides they
start out grabbing their fins and then
they move to the sides of their body to

Spanish: 
hembra vienen a los lados tampoco
morder sus aletas su aleta dorsal su
aleta pectoral o su aleta caudal y
por lo general sé cuando cuando he visto
ese tipo de ese tipo de compañero cuando un
entra la mujer y ella tiene un muy
aleta dorsal rota o aleta caudal solo
me muestra que ella no es receptiva a la
hombre porque le puse las manos encima
atrás y cuando hago eso cuando pongo
mis manos en un show de tigres
en realidad tratarán de resistir físicamente
fuera de mí o empujame fuera de ella y tú
saber porque ella está pensando dónde está
respondiéndome como si fuera un hombre
tiburón tigre tratando de aparearse con ella
apareamiento exitoso que estoy reuniendo
es cuando son cuando las hembras tienen
están extremadamente mordidos a los lados de
su cuerpo, lo que significa que han permitido
el tiburón tigre tiene tiempo suficiente para entrar
y en realidad se agarran a los lados
comienzan agarrando sus aletas y luego
se mueven a los lados de su cuerpo para

English: 
where they can get a better grip of the
of the shark so that they can mate
properly but other than that I mean I
you just see these females come in and
their dorsal fins torn up or their tail
fins torn up but they have no scars on
their side and then a week later the
shark shows up and she's all scarred up
on the side tells me that at first she
wasn't receptive but the males keep
persisting and persisting and finally
the the mating is successful or at least
they think it's successful but I that's
the only thing I can attain the the
actual relaxing and why a tiger shark
would allow these kind of interactions
to happen has to do something with
mating here this is a shark I've been
working with this is a shark named
freckle
now this interaction is really
interesting to me because these are this
is as long a type of / tonic immobility
that I'll be able to get out of a tiger
this is the one thing that as a tiger
relaxes and she'll actually drop in the

Spanish: 
donde pueden obtener un mejor control de la
del tiburón para que puedan aparearse
correctamente pero aparte de eso quiero decir que
solo ves a estas hembras entrar y
sus aletas dorsales desgarradas o su cola
aletas rotas pero no tienen cicatrices
a su lado y luego una semana más tarde el
aparece el tiburón y está toda asustada
a un lado me dice que al principio ella
no era receptivo pero los machos mantienen
persistente y persistente y finalmente
el apareamiento es exitoso o al menos
piensan que es exitoso pero eso es
lo único que puedo lograr el
relajante real y por qué un tiburón tigre
permitiría este tipo de interacciones
suceder tiene que ver algo con
apareamiento aquí este es un tiburón que he estado
trabajando con esto es un tiburón llamado
peca
ahora esta interacción es realmente
interesante para mí porque estos son esto
es siempre un tipo de inmovilidad / tónico
que podré salir de un tigre
esta es la única cosa que como tigre
se relaja y ella realmente caerá en el

English: 
sand they don't like they feel very
uncomfortable laying in the sand so
you'll see her once
she'll relax in Miami and drop but she
will actually the moment she feels the
sand on her body it'll just kind of wake
her up and then she'll start swimming
off so here's three different clips of
these interactions and I was able to
work with her longer because she was the
only tiger shark in the area that's the
other thing when I have multiple tiger
sharks around they don't relax they're
always worried about the other tiger
shark because of the dominance thing and
the behavior thing that they you know
the bigger tiger shark is always going
to be the dominant player and so the
smaller tiger sharks never quite relaxed
when the bigger sharks are around

Spanish: 
arena que no les gusta se sienten muy
incómodo tendido en la arena tan
la verás una vez
ella se relajará en Miami y caerá pero ella
En realidad será el momento en que siente la
arena en su cuerpo simplemente despertará
ella y luego ella comenzará a nadar
apagado así que aquí hay tres clips diferentes de
estas interacciones y pude
trabajar con ella más tiempo porque ella era la
único tiburón tigre en el área que es el
otra cosa cuando tengo tigre múltiple
los tiburones alrededor no se relajan son
siempre preocupado por el otro tigre
tiburón debido a la dominación y
lo del comportamiento que ellos conocen
el tiburón tigre más grande siempre va
ser el jugador dominante y así el
los tiburones tigre más pequeños nunca se relajan
cuando los tiburones más grandes están alrededor

English: 
well yeah this is uh you know just some
behaviors that we're seeing you know the
different behaviors of the Tigers great
hammerheads through through spending
some time with the great hammerheads
it's what I've learned is is they're
extremely so they're their face the
ampullae of Lorenzini that you can see
underneath their their their hammer
right here the underneath their face on
that particular part of a great
hammerhead it's extremely sensitive and
you know that whole area is filled with
those little pores those little freckles
I was telling you about that are filled
with a tank alive Lorenzini and they use
them kind of like a metal detector so
when they're trying to find their
favorite prey which is stingray and most
of the time they're hiding on stingray
is hiding under the sand they use their
separate for I think that's I've set it
right to hover above the sand and try to
triangulate the position of that
stingray that's that's sleeping
underneath the sand underneath the

Spanish: 
bueno, sí, esto es eh, sabes solo algunos
comportamientos que estamos viendo sabes la
diferentes comportamientos de los grandes Tigres
cabeza de martillo a través del gasto
algún tiempo con los grandes tiburones martillo
es lo que he aprendido es que son
extremadamente así que son su cara
ampollas de Lorenzini que puedes ver
debajo de su su su martillo
aquí mismo, debajo de la cara en
esa parte particular de un gran
Hammerhead es extremadamente sensible y
sabes que toda el área está llena de
esos pequeños poros esas pequeñas pecas
Te estaba diciendo que están llenos
con un tanque vivo Lorenzini y usan
como un detector de metales
cuando intentan encontrar su
presa favorita que es la mantarraya y la mayoría
del tiempo se esconden en mantarraya
se esconde debajo de la arena usan su
por separado, creo que eso es lo he configurado
derecho a flotar sobre la arena e intentar
triangular la posición de ese
raya que es eso que está durmiendo
debajo de la arena debajo de la

Spanish: 
superficie por lo que descubrí a través de
trabajar con estos tiburones es una vez que
encontrar su presa ya sea pescado o si
es una raya que ellos lo que intentan
hacer es tratar de ponerse al día con el
animal y usan su cabeza para
En realidad magnetizado a su presa y
lo que intentan y hacen es una vez que él
magnetizado a la presa que están tratando de
fijarlo a la arena y una vez que
ponerlos en la arena lo que pasa es
especialmente si es una raya
rayas sus aletas tienden a doblarse
ellos en una especie de cosa defensiva
y ahí es cuando los tiburones martillo
saber abrir la boca y morder morder
sus alas e intentan y tratan de comer
su presa y tratar de terminar su
presa antes de que escape pero el
parte magnetizante es lo que encontré
o lo que aprendí es cómo atrapan
su presa en este y este video clip
Estoy a punto de mostrarte, así que era
muy emocionado por esto porque yo

English: 
surface so what I discovered through
working with these sharks is once they
find their prey whether it's fish or if
it's a stingray they they what they try
to do is they try to catch up to the
animal and they use their their head to
actually magnetized to their prey and
what they try and do is once he
magnetized to the prey they're trying to
pin it down to the sand and once they
get them on the sand what happens is
especially if it's a stingray the
stingrays their fins they tend to fold
them up in a kind of a defensive thing
and that's when the hammerheads will you
know open their mouth and bite bite
their wings and try to and try to eat
their prey and try to finish off their
prey before it escapes but the
magnetizing part is what I what I found
out or what I learned is how they catch
their prey in this and this video clip
I'm about to show you so it was I was
really excited about this because I

Spanish: 
finalmente lo capturó la temporada pasada
donde como yo era como un martillo
pasando en realidad tengo sus dos
magnetizado a mi mano y puedes ver
ella allí en realidad estoy mostrando esto
metraje en cámara lenta pero es lo que es
es que ella solo está dando vueltas y
lo está haciendo, está tratando de
quédate con mi mano o sabes lo que es
hacer es tratar de alcanzar a la presa
para que ella realmente pueda atraparlo
sé tratar de sujetar mi mano hacia el
tierra, pero es realmente una para mí
es emocionante ver que sabes que esto es
parte de cómo cazan esto es parte de
su estrategia de caza, así que les mostraré
que ese metraje es muy rápido
tú
tú

English: 
finally captured it this past season
where as I was as a hammerhead was
passing by I actually got her two
magnetized to my hand and you can see
her there actually I'm showing this
footage in slow motion but it what it is
is she's just spinning around and
she's doing it she's trying to just to
stay with my hand or you know what she's
doing is trying to catch up to the prey
so that she can actually pin him you
know try to pin my hand down to the
ground but it's just a really for me
it's exciting to see you know this is
part of how they hunt this is part of
their hunting strategy so I'll show that
that that footage real quick
you
you

English: 
oops
anyway that was uh so that was her
actually magnetizing to my hand and and
then at the end toward the end she just
kept getting closer and closer to my
body so I put my other hand to kind of
so I could safely you know move my hand
out of the way and let her and let her
and guide her off so that she could keep
swimming just just super exciting to me
that you know to be able to have that

Spanish: 
Uy
de todos modos eso era eh así que esa era ella
En realidad magnetizar a mi mano yy
entonces al final hacia el final ella solo
seguía acercándose más y más a mi
cuerpo, así que puse mi otra mano en una especie de
para que pueda saber cómo mover mi mano
fuera del camino y dejarla y dejarla
y guiarla para que pueda mantener
nadar simplemente súper emocionante para mí
que sabes poder tener eso

Spanish: 
metraje y poder compartir quiero decir
en realidad ralentizamos el metraje pero
Realmente quiero decir que es rápido cuando cuando
sucede y solo sabes súper sí
fue punk
comunicación por lo que uno de los tiburones de la casa
comunicar que siempre ha sido realmente
Lo fascinante para mí es tratar de
averiguar cómo es que los tiburones hablan
entre sí a través de los años que he visto
y presencié diferentes formas en que
hacer esto, he visto esto de los tiburones ballena
yyy que es realmente frecuente
y de hecho han trabajado en
con los tiburones limón en Bimini de cómo
se comunican así que una de las formas en que
que hacen con lo que hicieron fue que
hizo esto este estudio donde tenían estos
tiburones de limón juveniles y lo pusieron
en esto este laberinto y los tiburones aprendieron
que si atravesaran el laberinto
llegaron al final serían recompensados
con un trozo de pescado y el limón
los tiburones atravesarían el laberinto yy
no tuvo problemas presionaron un botón y

English: 
footage and to be able to share I mean
actually we slowed the footage down but
it really I mean it is fast when when it
happens and just you know super yeah I
was plunk
communication so one of the house sharks
communicate that's always been a really
fascinating thing for me is trying to
figure out how it is that sharks talk to
each other through the years I've seen
and witnessed different ways that they
do this I've seen this from whale sharks
and and and which is really prevalent
and they've actually done some work on
with the lemon sharks in Bimini of how
they communicate so one of the ways that
that they do with what they did was they
did this this study where they had these
juvenile lemon sharks and they put him
in this this maze and the Sharks learned
that if they went through the maze it
got to the end they would be rewarded
with a piece of fish and the lemon
sharks would go through the maze and and
had no issues they push a button and

English: 
then a piece of fish would fall in the
water and then they would eat it so they
these two sharks figured it out pretty
quick they one day they learned to go
through the maze push the button and
then and then they took those two sharks
they put him in a shark pin and then a
couple of months later they took him out
they put him back in the pin and the
Sharks knew what to do right away and
they went and they got that they press
the button they got the food but the
amazing thing was that they had a couple
of other sharks in the tank or in the
shark tank with the other lemons that
have been through the maze these other
sharks had not been through the maze and
when they put those sharks in the maze
those sharks knew exactly what to do
they went to the button they pressed the
button and they were they were rewarded
so the Sharks in the pen actually
communicated what had happened which is
which makes a lot of sense to where you
know where we've seen whale sharks
communicating where the whale sharks
used to aggregate the large aggregation
of whale sharks used to spend all the

Spanish: 
entonces un trozo de pez caería en el
agua y luego la comerían para que
estos dos tiburones lo descubrieron bonito
rápido que un día aprendieron a ir
a través del laberinto presiona el botón y
entonces y luego tomaron esos dos tiburones
lo pusieron en un pin de tiburón y luego un
un par de meses después lo sacaron
lo pusieron de nuevo en el pasador y el
Los tiburones sabían qué hacer de inmediato y
fueron y consiguieron que presionen
el botón consiguieron la comida pero el
Lo sorprendente fue que tenían una pareja
de otros tiburones en el tanque o en el
tanque de tiburones con los otros limones que
han pasado por el laberinto estos otros
los tiburones no habían pasado por el laberinto y
cuando pusieron esos tiburones en el laberinto
esos tiburones sabían exactamente qué hacer
fueron al botón presionaron el
botón y fueron fueron recompensados
así que los tiburones en la pluma en realidad
comunicado lo que había sucedido, que es
lo que tiene mucho sentido para dónde
saber dónde hemos visto tiburones ballena
comunicando donde los tiburones ballena
usado para agregar la gran agregación
de los tiburones ballena solían pasar todo el

English: 
time in the waters around whole Bush
island in the Gulf of Mexico however the
food and near the Isla Mujeres and in
the Caribbean Sea was a lot better there
was a lot more food there's a lot more
abundance so for years we used to see
the large aggregation of whale sharks in
the Gulf of Mexico but all of a sudden
the majority of them disappeared and
they all went to Isla Mujeres and
started feeding in the in the waters of
the Caribbean Sea which told us or told
me that
that the Sharks are communicating and
letting each other know where the better
feeding grounds are where there's more
food there's more abundance of food
lemon cherry and so what I'm and this
video I'm about to show you is me giving
a shark a back rub and how I learned
that these sharks are communicating is I
was I was I started giving one
particular shark a back rub where I was
rubbing her back and she and after a
while I started working with her at the
beginning of the week but by the end of
the week
I had other sharks asking for a back rub

Spanish: 
tiempo en las aguas alrededor de todo Bush
isla en el Golfo de México, sin embargo, la
comida y cerca de la Isla Mujeres y en
el mar Caribe estaba mucho mejor allí
había mucha más comida hay mucho más
abundancia, así que durante años solíamos ver
la gran agregación de tiburones ballena en
el golfo de México pero de repente
la mayoría de ellos desaparecieron y
todos fueron a Isla Mujeres y
comenzó a alimentarse en las aguas de
el mar Caribe que nos contó o contó
Yo eso
que los tiburones se están comunicando y
dejándose saber dónde mejor
zonas de alimentación son donde hay más
comida hay más abundancia de comida
cereza de limón y entonces lo que soy y esto
video que estoy a punto de mostrarte soy yo dando
un tiburón un masaje en la espalda y cómo aprendí
que estos tiburones se comunican es yo
era yo empecé a dar uno
tiburón particular un masaje en la espalda donde estaba
frotando su espalda y ella y después de un
mientras empecé a trabajar con ella en el
comienzo de la semana pero al final de
la semana
Tuve otros tiburones pidiendo un masaje en la espalda

Spanish: 
con el que nunca había trabajado antes
y entonces la única forma en que estos tiburones
en realidad entendería que es si
se han comunicado con ese tiburón
y luego transmitir ese conocimiento y luego
los otros tiburones vendrán y
permitiéndome darles masajes
allí había un tiburón
comunicaciones allí ahora este video
lo siento, me perdí eso
así que bien, muy rápido en este video estoy
dando a este camión un masaje en la espalda pero donde
vas a ver ahora es que hay
va a ser un tiburón limón en este
antecedentes aquí
y ella va a nadar y ella es
va a venir a nadar a propósito

English: 
which I'd never worked with before
and so the only way that these sharks
would actually understand that is if
they have communicated to that one shark
and then pass on that knowledge and then
the other sharks will coming up and
allowing me to give them back rubs so
there there were some shark
communications there now this video
sorry I missed that
so okay really quickly in this video I'm
giving this truck a back rub but where
you're gonna see right now is there's
going to be a lemon shark in this
background right here
and she is going to swim over and she's
gonna come up and purposely swim on top

English: 
of the shark I'm giving a back rub to
what she's doing is she's trying to
understand why I'm rubbing on this shark
so as this shark passes by she's going
to download information from the shark
to try to figure out what emotional
state this shark is in this is how they
communicate
so that was a shark communicating that
was a shark trying to find information

Spanish: 
del tiburón a quien le estoy dando un masaje en la espalda
lo que está haciendo es que está tratando de
entiendo por qué estoy frotando este tiburón
así que a medida que este tiburón pasa, ella va
para descargar información del tiburón
para tratar de descubrir qué emocional
afirman que este tiburón es así es como
comunicar
así que fue un tiburón comunicando que
era un tiburón tratando de encontrar información

English: 
so as he passed by the other shark he's
actually downloading information are
trying to figure out what it is that the
shark is feeling did I do signal just
want to make sure
is everybody there I'll good be
everybody still okay just making sure
okay uh you know I didn't even ask I
don't even know 7:30 it's already 7:00
for you how long it is is this talk for
because
you
it's usually for an hour and then
questions and answers okay okay then I
still have time then breathe if it's
interesting when we just continue doing
it okay just making sure
I just wanted to make sure that we're
still yeah okay actually you have a 24

Spanish: 
así que cuando pasó junto al otro tiburón, él está
en realidad descargando información son
tratando de averiguar qué es lo que el
tiburón se siente hice señal solo
quiero asegurarme
está todo el mundo allí estaré bien
todos siguen bien solo asegurándose
bien, eh, sabes que ni siquiera te pregunté
ni siquiera sé 7:30 ya son las 7:00
para ti cuánto tiempo dura esta conversación
porque
tú
generalmente es por una hora y luego
preguntas y respuestas bien, bien, entonces yo
todavía tengo tiempo, entonces respira si es
interesante cuando seguimos haciendo
está bien solo asegurándose
Solo quería asegurarme de que estamos
todavía sí está bien en realidad tienes un 24

English: 
here and in facebook we have like 20 so
okay okay great then all right then
Navin put everybody to sleep yet okay
maybe asleep they forgot to turn the
computer off okay and so this so this
counts so this kind of miscommunication
or this form of communication is in and
this with lemon sharks has been really
really exciting and fascinating for me
because I really feel like lemon sharks
are possibly one of the most intelligent
of the shark species and and what I'm
seeing through them through working with
these sharks is also where they're
actually enjoying the interaction and
I'm you know obviously we used bait to
attract the Sharks we and we we have
food that brings them to the area and I
mean I'm not under any illusions that
that these sharks are there for the food
you know but you know that's that's how
we actually get to work with these

Spanish: 
aqui y en facebook tenemos como 20 asi
está bien, está bien, entonces está bien
Navin puso a todos a dormir todavía bien
tal vez dormidos se olvidaron de encender el
computadora apagada bien y esto es así esto
cuenta así que este tipo de falta de comunicación
o esta forma de comunicación está en y
esto con tiburones limón ha sido realmente
realmente emocionante y fascinante para mí
porque realmente me siento como tiburones limón
son posiblemente uno de los más inteligentes
de las especies de tiburones yy lo que soy
ver a través de ellos trabajando con
estos tiburones también es donde están
disfrutando de la interacción y
Estoy sabes, obviamente, utilizamos cebo para
atraer a los tiburones nosotros y nosotros tenemos
comida que los trae a la zona y yo
significa que no estoy bajo ninguna ilusión que
que estos tiburones están ahí para la comida
sabes pero sabes que así es como
en realidad nos ponemos a trabajar con estos

Spanish: 
tiburones para comenzar de manera pero mientras están
allí quiero decir que también nos están mostrando
signos de buscar atención por la que se
hacia abajo para que podamos devolverles masajes
como este video que estoy a punto de compartir
aquí donde aparece un tiburón y ella está
solo se frota contra mí porque ella es
buscando ella quiere que la acaricie y
que sabes pero solo sorprende
yo pero este es el tipo de cosas
que estamos experimentando con
así que sí, quiero decir que es solo sí, lo digo en serio
Tengo que recordar que es un tiburón
y que sabes que ella tiene dientes
y si hago algo estúpido voy a
obtener un poco pero al mismo tiempo son
mostrándome otro lado y eso es

English: 
sharks to begin way but while they're
there I mean they're also showing us
signs of seeking out attention laying
down so that we can give them back rubs
like this video I'm about to share right
here where a shark comes up and she's
just rubs up against me because she's
looking for she wants me to pet her and
that you know but it just it surprises
me but this is the kind of the stuff
that we're experiencing with
so yeah I mean it's just yeah I mean it
I have to remember that it is a shark
and that you know she does have teeth
and if I do something stupid I am gonna
get bit but at the same time they're
showing me another side and and that's

Spanish: 
lo que sabes trato de encontrar o yo
tratar de alcanzar cuando estoy cuando estoy
hablando de estos animales es que lo hago
ver un tiburón que está interesado en
interactuando con nosotros y que es realmente
emocionante porque con los tiburones limón
es algo que no vemos con ninguna
otras especies de tiburones donde lo hacen
quiero decir que he tenido limones como
pegar su cara sabes entre mi
rodillas para que pueda devolverles masajes
Quiero decir que hay realmente
comportamientos emocionantes realmente interesantes
que estamos viendo de la especie y yo
siento que esto es este es un tiburón
que eso realmente alcanza y es
tratando de interactuar y tratando de mostrarnos
que ella puede interactuar antes de empezar
esto lo que estoy mostrando es cómo tengo una
par de nuestros perros en mi patio trasero
y cómo compiten por la atención
sabes uno es si estoy acariciando uno
otro quiere atención si estoy acariciando
el otro el otro quiere atención

English: 
what you know I try to come across or I
try to to reach across when I'm when I'm
talking about these animals is that I do
see a shark that that is interested in
interacting with us and which is really
exciting because with lemon sharks this
is something that we don't see with any
other shark species where they do
they'll I mean I've had lemons like
stick their face you know between my
knees so that I can give them back rubs
I mean there's just a really really
exciting really interesting behaviors
that we're seeing from the species and I
feel like this is this is that one shark
that that truly does reach across and is
trying to interact and trying to show us
that she can interact so before I start
this what I'm showing is how I have a
couple of our of our dogs in my backyard
and how they they compete for attention
you know one is if I'm petting one the
other one wants attention if I'm petting
the other the other one wants attention

English: 
oops
so I messed up you see
the reason I shut that is because my
lemon sharks show the same thing so and
I'm not sure if it's a you know and it's
hard you know because you don't want to
enter up for more I'm gonna butcher that
word you want to well put human emotions
into something of which of the word
sorry guys
whereas the lemon shark is pushes the
lemons push the Tigers away so that to

Spanish: 
Uy
así que me equivoqué, ves
la razón por la que cerré eso es porque mi
los tiburones de limón muestran lo mismo y
No estoy seguro si es un sabes y es
difícilmente sabes porque no quieres
entrar por más voy a carnicero que
palabra que quieres poner bien las emociones humanas
en algo de cuál de la palabra
lo siento chicos
mientras que el tiburón limón es empuja el
los limones empujan a los Tigres para que

English: 
try to steal my attention away from from
from the tiger because they know I'm
gonna try to put the tiger but the lemon
sharks will cut them off and get in his
way or push them completely out of the
way which I've seen several times where
they cut the tiger off and they move her
away now one of the things is is she
moving them away from the bait of which
is in the box and the little milk crate
or is she moving away from us or for
myself and that's that's what we're
trying to figure out

Spanish: 
tratar de robar mi atención de
del tigre porque saben que soy
voy a tratar de poner el tigre pero el limón
los tiburones los cortarán y se meterán en su
camino o empujarlos completamente fuera de la
manera que he visto varias veces donde
cortaron al tigre y la movieron
lejos ahora una de las cosas es ella
alejándolos del cebo de los cuales
está en la caja y la pequeña caja de leche
o se está alejando de nosotros o por
yo y eso es lo que somos
tratando de averiguar

English: 
and here you'll see where it shall
physically just completely push the
tiger away from the bait box away from
me

Spanish: 
y aquí verás dónde debe
físicamente simplemente empujar completamente
tigre lejos de la caja de cebo lejos de
yo

English: 
and it looks like she's this shark is is
trying to shake my hand off her nose but
what she actually likes she likes to
feel my glove in her hand in her face so
she throws her head back and forth so I
should you see her shaking her head it's

Spanish: 
y parece que ella es este tiburón es
tratando de sacudir mi mano de su nariz pero
lo que realmente le gusta, a ella le gusta
siento mi guante en su mano en su cara
ella mueve la cabeza de un lado a otro, así que
si la ves sacudiendo la cabeza es

Spanish: 
porque a ella le gusta la sensación de mi
guante en su mano

English: 
because she just likes the feel of my
glove in her hand

Spanish: 
así que es esto, este tipo de esto
es el comportamiento que soy que soy realmente
Quiero decir para mí es que ha sido el
más esclarecedor y más gratificante
haciendo todo el trabajo que tenemos y
aprender los diferentes comportamientos de
las diferentes especies de tiburones yy
tratando de descubrir cómo interactúan
con nosotros cómo interactúan con cada uno
otro pero sabes solo con limón
tiburones especialmente solo tratando sabes
tratando de entender cómo sabes cómo
es que están reaccionando a nosotros quiero decir en
Hay partes de mí que desearían poder ser
todos los días durante un año consecutivo
porque sé que revelaría tan
muchos comportamientos diferentes que hemos
nunca visto antes o que nos hemos encontrado
Alguien ha presenciado antes solo
porque sabes que quiero decir solo para

English: 
so it's it's this it this kind of this
is the behavior that I'm that I'm really
I mean for me it's it's it's been the
most enlightening and the most rewarding
doing all the work that we have and
learning the different behaviors from
the different species of sharks and and
trying to figure out how they interact
with us how they interact with each
other but you know just with lemon
sharks especially just trying you know
trying to understand how you know how it
is that they're reacting to us I mean in
there's parts of me that wish I could be
out there every day for a year straight
because I know that it would reveal so
many different behaviors that we've
never seen before or that we've met
anybody's ever witnessed before just
because you know there's I mean just for

Spanish: 
las pequeñas ventanas que he podido
para abrir con estos tiburones sabes
viendo viendo las cosas que he visto
o la experiencia que acaba de ser
cosas alucinantes que sabes para mí
especialmente porque mucho de esto es tan
completamente nuevo que sabes aquí teniendo esto
tiburón limón se acostó frente a mí
saber y ella solo estaba empujando
ella misma seguía empujando su cara
contra mi rodilla y fue porque
ella estaba solicitando o pidiendo un respaldo
frotar

English: 
the little windows that I've been able
to to open up with these sharks you know
seeing seeing the things that I've seen
or experience it's just been
mind-blowing stuff you know for me
especially because a lot of this is so
brand-new you know here having this
lemon shark lay down in front of me you
know and she just kind of was pushing
herself she just kept pushing her face
up against my knee and it was because
she was requesting or asking for a back
rub

Spanish: 
y aquí fue realmente lo que es divertido porque
Le doy dos a esto cuando este limón
tiburón nadaba yo estaba dando
En realidad estoy dando dos cuerdas para la espalda
dos tiburones limón diferentes que eran
acostado al lado de este tiburón nodriza
entró y molestó la posición de
estos tiburones limón, así que nadaba
a ella va a nadar de vuelta a
reposicionarse para que pueda
continuar con su masaje en la espalda

English: 
and here was really which is fun because
I'm giving two at this when this lemon
shark just swam off I was giving
actually I'm giving two back ropes to
two different lemon sharks that were
laying side by side this nurse shark
came in and bothered the position of
this lemon sharks so she just swam off
to she's going to swim back around to
reposition herself so that she can
continue with her back rub

English: 
so justjust just for me it's just
exciting exciting stuff the other thing
about learning about shark behavior it's
helped me sense you know when a sharks
one want to misbehave so part of my job
when I take people diving or when I'm
when I have people in the water with me
is you know it's exciting for me to show
people sharks and and and how they
behave and how they interact and the
different things that we can do you know
the different ways that sharks enjoy
interactions but it's also the other
part of it is keeping people safe

Spanish: 
así que solo para mí es solo
cosas emocionantes emocionantes la otra cosa
sobre aprender sobre el comportamiento de los tiburones es
me ayudó a sentir que sabes cuando un tiburón
uno quiere portarse mal, así que parte de mi trabajo
cuando llevo gente buceando o cuando estoy
cuando tengo gente en el agua conmigo
sabes que es emocionante para mí mostrar
tiburones personas yyy cómo
comportarse y cómo interactúan y el
diferentes cosas que podemos hacer sabes
las diferentes formas en que disfrutan los tiburones
interacciones pero también es el otro
parte de esto es mantener a las personas seguras

Spanish: 
porque lo único que no olvido y
Nunca, nunca, nunca olvidaré es que sé
qué tiburones son, sé qué son los tiburones
capaz de y nunca olvido esa parte
de eso
Nunca olvido que estos son vértices
depredadores Nunca olvido que sabes
si cometo un gran error si cometo un
error puedo lastimarme o peor
alguien que traje en el agua
conmigo uno de nuestros invitados puede salir lastimado
así que el otro sabe lo otro
que esto me ha permitido hacer es
aprender a mirar tiburones y ver y
ver cuándo cuando un cuando un tiburón es
portarse mal o cuando pienso en un tiburón
quiere portarse mal, así que es mucho
sabes y afortunadamente sabes tocar
en madera sabes que hemos estado sabes
muy muy afortunado sabes que hemos
sido capaz de asegurarme de que el
Los tiburones se comportan
Me refiero a un accidente, sabes que una cosa es
sabes que sabes lo que pasa
para una persona es una cosa pero ya sabes
por el accidente van los tiburones
para obtener un bate o peor reputación
y eso es lo último en el mundo que

English: 
because the one thing I don't forget and
I never I never forget is that I know
what sharks are I know what sharks are
capable of and I never forget that part
of it
I never forget that these are apex
predators I never forget that you know
if I make a big mistake if I make a
mistake I can get hurt or or even worse
somebody that I brought in the water
with me one of our guests can get hurt
so the other you know the other thing
that this has allowed me to do is is
learn how to watch sharks and watch and
see when when a when a shark is
misbehaving or when I think a shark
wants to misbehave so it's it's a lot
you know and thankfully you know knock
on wood you know we've been you know
very very fortunate you know that we've
been able to to make sure that the
Sharks behave
I mean an accident you know one thing is
you know that it you know what happens
to a person it's one thing but you know
because of the accident sharks are going
to get a bat or even worse reputation
and that's the last thing in the world I

Spanish: 
quiero que sepas que quiero que nuestros tiburones sean
seguro quiero que nuestra gente tenga
experiencia sabes experiencias positivas
con estos animales y sabes
todos entienden la historia todos van
casa y eso es todo
y así poder ver esto antes de cualquier
antes de que un tiburón decida
portarse mal o incluso si no va a
portarse mal solo quieres asegurarte
que todo es que sabes que es realmente
seguro y como en este ejemplo uno de
las cosas que les decimos a los buzos somos nosotros
decirle a la gente cuando están en el agua es
si vas a volver al bote
nadas bajo al suelo y luego y
entonces te pones debajo del bote y
sube directamente al bote
lo que pasa es que los tiburones tigre son
extremadamente allí son como un perro y
si ven una ardilla son sabes
son ellos son ellos atrapa su
atención y lo van a seguir
y le pedimos a la gente que no nade en un
diagonal en una posición diagonal de vuelta a
el bote porque el tiburón tigre podría girar
alrededor de verte y seguirte y
Esto es lo que sucede en este caso y

English: 
want you know I want our sharks to be
safe I want our people to have
experience you know positive experiences
with these animals and you know
everybody gets the story everybody goes
home and that's the whole thing
and so being able to see this before any
kind of before a shark decides to
misbehave or even if he's not going to
misbehave you just want to make sure
that everything is you know it's really
safe and so like in this example one of
the things that we tell divers are we
tell people when they're in the water is
if you're going to return to the boat
you swim low to the ground and then and
then you get underneath the boat and you
go straight up the boat
what happens is tiger sharks are
extremely there they're like a dog and
if they see a squirrel they're you know
they're they're they it catches their
attention and they're gonna follow it
and so we ask people not to swim at a
diagonal in a diagonal position back to
the boat because tiger shark might turn
around see you and follow you up and
this is what happens in this case and

English: 
thankfully I was there to just make sure
that hook was behaving herself and that
everything was going to be fine and fun
so there I just a very hooked from
actually doing anything being uh not
behaving properly and and everything
worked out really well on this this next
video the the visibility was starting to
drop and we were starting to conditions
we're starting to get pretty bad this
was up a tail end so what happened we
had really nice visibility but low tide
rolled in and then when low tide comes
in sometimes it brings in really murky
dirty water the cold water that comes in
and just kind of dirty things up anyway
I had a tiger shark when that happens
the current also dies and so we had some
bait in the water but the tiger shark

Spanish: 
afortunadamente estuve allí para asegurarme
ese gancho se estaba comportando y eso
todo iba a estar bien y divertido
así que solo tengo un muy enganchado de
en realidad haciendo algo siendo eh no
comportarse correctamente y todo
funcionó muy bien en esto el próximo
video la visibilidad comenzaba a
caer y empezamos a condiciones
estamos empezando a ponernos bastante mal
fue un final de cola así que lo que pasó
tenía muy buena visibilidad pero baja la marea
enrollado y luego cuando baja la marea
a veces trae muy turbia
agua sucia el agua fría que entra
y de todas formas sucias
Tuve un tiburón tigre cuando eso sucede
la corriente también muere y entonces tuvimos algunos
cebo en el agua pero el tiburón tigre

English: 
couldn't find it so what happens in
those situations is tiger sharks start
swimming around trying to find the scent
because they know there's bait in the
water
they just can't find it so they started
swimming in-between the divers and one
of the things we do is we teach
everybody how to safely push a tiger
away if the tiger gets too close that's
something that we learn when you know
when they're on one of our trips but
this one this Tiger came in and and
another thing that happens a lot
is we have our photographers who tend to
take pictures they get completely
fixated on their cameras they're taking
pictures and they go straight to the
histogram or they start looking at their
image and they you know start changing
settings this is what happened in this
case where one of our shooters was in
the water and he lost sight of the tiger
took a picture and started fumbling with
his camera and the tiger snuck up behind
him and you know just I always tell
people eyes in the back ear headstall

Spanish: 
no podía encontrarlo, entonces, ¿qué pasa en
esas situaciones son los tiburones tigre comienzan
nadando tratando de encontrar el olor
porque saben que hay cebo en el
agua
simplemente no pueden encontrarlo, así que comenzaron
nadar entre los buzos y uno
de las cosas que hacemos es que enseñamos
todos cómo empujar con seguridad a un tigre
lejos si el tigre se acerca demasiado, eso es
algo que aprendemos cuando sabes
cuando están en uno de nuestros viajes pero
este este tigre entró yy
otra cosa que pasa mucho
es que tenemos nuestros fotógrafos que tienden a
tomar fotos se ponen completamente
obsesionados con sus cámaras que están tomando
fotos y van directamente a la
histograma o comienzan a mirar su
imagen y ellos saben comienzan a cambiar
ajustes esto es lo que sucedió en este
caso en el que uno de nuestros tiradores estaba en
el agua y perdió de vista al tigre
tomó una foto y comenzó a buscar
su cámara y el tigre se coló detrás
él y sabes que siempre digo
ojos de la gente en la cabeza del oído trasero

English: 
so you actually you actually save that
diver right there well the tiger I mean
she may have not have done anything she
may have done after you know nothing at
all but the the whole point is to make
sure that she doesn't you know though
you know you want to keep the animals
safe you want to keep the people safe

Spanish: 
así que realmente guardas eso
buzo allí mismo bien el tigre quiero decir
ella puede no haber hecho nada que ella
puede haber hecho después de que no sabes nada en
todo menos el punto es hacer
seguro de que ella no sabe aunque
sabes que quieres mantener a los animales
seguro quieres mantener a la gente segura

Spanish: 
y noventa sabes 95 98 por ciento de la
vez que ella no va a hacer nada, es eso 2
por ciento que siempre estamos mirando
para y solo queremos asegurarnos porque
como se podía ver, ella no la abrió
boca ella no hizo nada que sabes
that aggressive but you know she was she
was definitely new you want to make sure
that that nothing happens and that's the
whole point you know you wanna you you
you stop the accident before it happens
you don't want to find out what she's
gonna do if I'm going diving with joy to
live with you there you go so I mean
that was that was what I had for you
guys and I don't know if you want to
open it up to questions I you know
although you want to see something again
that I went to to have a stun or I have
a question in line yes sir
do sharks communicate with their own
species or do they communicate with any
shark I for sure they speak with their
own species
I want to they I want to say yes I think
they there is some kind of communication

English: 
and ninety you know 95 98 percent of the
time she's gonna do nothing it's that 2
percent that we're always looking out
for and we just want to make sure cuz
like you could see she didn't open her
mouth she didn't do anything you know
that aggressive but you know she was she
was definitely new you want to make sure
that that nothing happens and that's the
whole point you know you wanna you you
you stop the accident before it happens
you don't want to find out what she's
gonna do if I'm going diving with joy to

do sharks communicate with their own
species or do they communicate with any

I want to they I want to say yes I think
they there is some kind of communication

English: 
that happened there has to be I think
it's different I mean maybe it's just a
you know a different language that you
know they may not know the the dialect
but you know a shark is a shark and I
and I really feel like they you know
when a bigger tiger shark jaw pops in
and you see one of the smaller sharks
kind of scoot off I think you definitely
can see you know how they you know that
they communicate something to each other
or and and you know what absolutely yes
because I I witnessed once where a lemon
shark was swimming by a great hammerhead
and it just looked like the lemon shark
was swimming there were maybe six seven
feet apart from each other and as a
lemon shark swam by all of a sudden I
just saw this great hammerhead
swimming really frantically doing figure
eights just really really really fast
like if the lemon sharks said something

Spanish: 
to the great hammerhead and the great
hammerhead was showing its strength and
power II don't know I don't know what
happened there was some exchange that
happened there so I have to imagine that
that yeah they did that something was
spoken or some something unspoken words
I guess we have a bunch of questions
from Facebook okay any payment Ellis is
asking how usual is to find a shark in a
non Noctor diving at night and is it
true that yellow attracts sharks you can
definitely see sharks at night I mean we
do a lot of night diving will do tiger
shark dives at night we all do some
feeds at night depending on how many
Tigers show up you know we just you know
that just depends on how what kind of
diver you are I mean if you're really
excited about seeing a shark at night

English: 
we'll show you one as far as yellow well
sharks sharks are pretty much they're
colorblind but what they do they see
contrast extremely well they give up
their daytime vision for better
nighttime vision and what that does is
it bumps up their contrast so they see
like the where the word yum-yum yellow
came from was they see bright colors
differently then they'll see dark colors
and so it tends to attract their
attention so it doesn't and like you can
have a black object on on a sandy bottom
and it'll attract the shark because it
contrasts against the sandy bottom so
they'll see the black and they'll be
attracted to it but they'll see
something you know bright yellow or a
bright pink or really really really
blond hair and and you'll definitely see
a shark attracted to it and that's just
because of the contrast so yeah there
there is some of that
okay and if you can share this your your

English: 
that correct
no no they're extremely intelligent well
you got you got the three the three dead
leaves and the only reason you got the
tiger shark the great though the white
shark and the bull shark and the only
reason is these are extremely large
sharks excuse me they're extremely large
sharks and they tend to spend a lot of
time in areas that people do so they
spend a lot of time near shorelines in
murky water in just just in areas where
people tend to spend a lot of
recreational time which is why you'll
always see you know surfer is getting in
trouble with white sharks in places like
Australia and California it's because
you know we tend to spend our time in
the water where these sharks are also
hunting making sure they're their main
prey looking for their their their food
source which is for for white sharks
it's their favorite prey or what their
specialized specialty is is seals and
sea lions and elephant seals
whereas tiger sharks turtles sea turtles

English: 
are what tiger sharks that's their
specialty so every shark has a niche in
the ocean every shark has a job and
these are
tend to spend time in in areas that we
do as well and I also heard that lemon
sharks they they carry their babies like
kangaroos is that correct or well they
give birth they give live birth so they
carry their babies until term and then
and then they'll just start pumping out
the babies and they usually go to an
area like which is why they Bimini
created the Bimini shark station because
that area is is an area where one of the
lemon sharks where the lemon sharks have
been giving birth for years and so they
have actually it's one of the longest
studies of sharks in the world I think
they got twenty thirty years of actual
DNA and samples of sharks coming back
year after year to give birth in these

same waters so pretty fascinating stuff
but yeah okay anyone with another
question alguien que una pregunta CT una
pregunta espanol muchos de la puta
series a la isla we have
from Facebook does the what this is does
the white shark have this is what's the
Renzi - yes all all sharks do the
ampullae of Lorenzini yeah that same
that same pores and you know for to find
because all live every everybody we all
have electricity coming off of us and
and that ampullae of Lorenzini is what
they use to sense it and that's you know
sharks have the seven senses and I think
that that they use the ampule at

that that they use the ampule at

Spanish: 
Lauren's you need to help them find prey
I think they use it as part of their
communication with each other the the
same thing with their lateral line that
vibration that they feel I think that's
some something to do with how they
communicate with each other I mean I'm
not really sure but that's just you know
that's extremely lost on me but yeah
it's definitely part of of their senses
I have a question from a dead Adrian
Zamora I'm going to unmute him amazing
exposition congratulations you like
thank you sir I have a two questions yes
bears how long does a chart like so okay
so that's that's the trick question so
for years people thought my charts live
anywhere from twenty to a hundred years
and then the Greenland shark they just
did a study where they found out that
this shark could live upwards of you
know potentially four hundred years old

Spanish: 
the Greenland shark that they studied so
because of you know sharks like the
Greenland sharks they I mean they have
extremely large livers which helps in
process and helps them clean out their
blood and clean out disease and they're
just these are a very very long lived
animals so because sharks have never
they've never been able to get a shark
from birth to to its death like a great
white or a tiger shark you don't they
nobody really knows how long sharks live
they used to think it was fifty years
for like a tiger shark but I
it's um I think it's much much longer I
think I think at least a hundred years
the Sharks that I know I've worked with
some of the same tiger sharks for over
ten years and in in that time span you
know maybe a few of them have grown to
like a foot a foot and a half longer
then from when I met them to the size
they are now so if you're if we're
talking about a shark that that has only

then from when I met them to the size
they are now so if you're if we're
talking about a shark that that has only

English: 
grown a couple of feet and the Sharks
have a potential like a tiger shark you
know some of the longest the biggest
tiger sharks ever recorded are almost 20
feet long so you're talking about a
shark that they can grow that big how
long does it take him to grow that long
and and you know and and once they reach
a certain size a lot of them really stop
growing they slow down and then they
just start getting wider and wider and
wider just get girthier so if if you if
they have that potential I really feel
like you know a lot of these sharks can
live longer than a hundred years
especially with proof like from a
Greenland shark that definitely lives
took 200 plus years there's there's just
so much there that we still don't know
yet thank and second did you already say
the codes and Jersey's a shark when you
like are they likely to attack codes no
no no absolutely not I mean so one of
the it's it's all about rules when

no no absolutely not I mean so one of
the it's it's all about rules when

English: 
you're diving with sharks you've got to
follow the rules and every shark has its
own set of rules I mean the number one
rule for all sharks across the board is
a shark should never be allowed to touch
its body
touch it touch its nose to any part of
your body so you because you don't
because sharks feel they they they taste
everything with their nose and with
their mouth I mean that's how they they
find out things are they don't have
hands so they got out they you know they
got to grab things or they got a they
got to bump into things and allow their
their their nose to sense it for the
smell or the taste and or they mouthed
things because we're so fragile and you
know these sharks are so tough and their
teeth are so sharp you just you can't
allow a shark to do that so you what you
don't want is is
accidental bumped a bite thing happening
so you know there's you just you've got
to follow the rules you got to
understand how sharks behave you know

English: 
the the different things that that makes
you know a shark a shark and and and and
then though they're the safest animals
in the world to dive with and you can
dive with white sharks outside the cage
with any species of shark in the world
it doesn't matter just follow the rules
and they're all safe to divert from
salvadora later he says can can white
sharks surviving yes well they found out
no I mean they what they'll do now is
they have these outdoor pens that they
can keep a white shark alive for a month
maybe two months if that and and then
they have to release it because after
that the sharks you know they get
completely messed up and if they're
whatever their navigational just
whatever's inside the shark that that
makes a shark a shark especially an open

Spanish: 
ocean shark like like a great white that
that doesn't spend time like a coastal
shark so coastal shark will spend its
entire life in one area and those sharks
they do a lot better in captivity than a
pelagic species like a great white so as
a as of right now they have not been
able to successfully keep a white shark
alive in captivity not longer than a
month or two so sadly but this is a
person from Facebook okay since it's
mating season when you interact with the
females have you ever encountered a male
approaching your group our males more
aggressive males are definitely more
aggressive now the the the crazy thing
is that I've done way over a thousand
Tiger dives at Tiger Beach I've never
seen a male tiger there remember all the
in all the tiger sharks that I've ever
interacted with have all been females
yeah so we're not sure why we know when

that when
researchers do their their work around
the area when they do some long lining
outside of Tiger Beach they catch males
all the time but for whatever reason the
male's just do not come into Tiger Beach
there's been a few boats that have seen
a male here and there but it's extremely
rare and which is which is crazy because
you get great hammerhead show up there
you get lemons and reef sharks and you
get both male and female of every
species except tiger sharks is there
like a special like a special
consideration if you see a male one do
you have to go out of the water or do so
Lord it's no no no because the the the
guy the diving they do in Florida they
get Tigers there sometimes they do get
males show up on those diets but for
whatever reason they just don't get any
males you know over in our area but you
know have you tried a female do what
you're doing and see if male sharks come

consideration if you see a male one do
you have to go out of the water or do so
Lord it's no no no because the the the
guy the diving they do in Florida they
get Tigers there sometimes they do get
males show up on those diets but for
whatever reason they just don't get any
males you know over in our area but you
know have you tried a female do what
you're doing and see if male sharks come

English: 
like a female diver yeah no I mean yeah
I mean there's female feeders whatever
you are doing make a female do it you
know and see you know you know I mean
there's there's there's a lot of female
shark feeders that work in Bahamas but
as far as I know I mean for whatever
reason the male's just okay and are you
the only one that pets the the sharks do
you know someone else definitely I mean
a lot of this so there's a lot of
different operators that work out of the
the area Tiger Beach you know they
everybody everybody does their feeding
everybody does their type of interaction
you know we you know so there's
definitely different feeders out there
I've been working with the Sharks so we
have a Mendoza wants to ask a question
okay gracias

ok gracias

Spanish: 
sure what's the current population of
the of these species of shark all that
the first one and the second what are we
doing as human beings do to educate
people to
- well you know do to know about these
behaviors of the different species of
tiburones
well Tiger shirts are listed as
threatened yeah I mean that's that's
just a continued thing you know
unfortunately until the the commercial
shark fishing stops where we're just
gonna see the you know the populations
around the world on a decline thankfully
you have places like the Bahamas which
is a shark sanctuary so it's one of the
few places where we're actually seeing
the populations growing you know and
we're hoping it's going to stay that way
though you know some of the studies that
they're doing is they're trying to find
out if these sharks are actually leaving
the Bahamian waters and which they are

the Bahamian waters and which they are

English: 
so once once a tiger shark leaves the
Bahamas they go into unprotected waters
and they're susceptible to - over to
fishing to commercial fishing while the
shark is in Bahamas they're safe and and
thankfully what we're seeing is is like
the the females are actually coming into
the bond the Bahamian waters to give
birth so at least we know that sharks
like tigers and lemons that that are in
the Bahamas and giving birth in the
Bahamas that you know those babies have
a chance a real good chance of growing
up and become you know and returning to
the area and doing the same thing as far
as you know mate you know helping people
to be - to be aware of what of our
sharks and what's happening to them I
mean this is this is the best thing that
we can do and you know is sharing the
story sharing the shark story and this

social media or I go to school programs
or every opportunity that we've had to
be on TV or in the newspapers you know
that's the one thing that that you know
we try to share is is what's happening
to the shark populations and and then
through my work you know that's showing
the interaction you know is is extremely
important because it shows the other
side of sharks most of the time while
people get to see is is you know is
scared or our toothy shark or they you
know mouth opening shots but when you
show a
a shark want actually laying down in the
sand so you can give him a backrub it
completely blows their mind man you know
it blows everybody's mind
especially if they're a lay person or
someone who's not a diver who's never
seen a shark in the wild you know
because you're you're destroying
everything they thought they knew about
sharks because at that point now they
know that everything they thought they

open their mind and say okay there's so

English: 
this is something new about these
animals that I had never known before so
okay we have another question Gonzalo
Montero once the question is Albert
picker much Albert like a thank you very
much for your very interesting
participation in this conference my
question is well is there any thought
I'll risk diving with bull shark or
tiger shark as a advanced diver or as a
beginner diver no absolutely again it's
it goes there it goes back to following
the rules of shark diving you I mean
whether it's a bull shark or it's a
tiger or a great white you you you can
safely dive with all these things as
long as you know there's you you you
follow the you know the different things
that you have to do for that particular
species you know the as an advanced

that you have to do for that particular
species you know the as an advanced

English: 
diver I mean really all as a beginner
diver to an advanced diver the only
difference is the amount of water time
that the advanced diver has compared to
the beginning diver but if neither of
you have been in the water with the
shark you still have to learn you know
the same things about the shark behavior
that you know an advanced diver versus a
beginner diver so I take people that you
know there's there see cards are still
wet too on the shark dives because it it
doesn't it doesn't really matter because
that person like you know a dive master
who's never been in the water with the
sharks still has to learn about shark
behavior still has to learn how to
behave around a shark you know where
put your hands how to safely push away a
shark I mean those are things that you
have to learn and it you know so it
doesn't really matter your skill level I
mean it helps if you have a lot of dive
experience so you don't have to worry
about your equipment when you're in the
water but that's about the only

still have to learn animal behavior
now question from Facebook Christian
Alvarado us I have a question
last year in Playa del Carmen Mexico
bull shark females all right
arrived late in the season me and my
wife went to dive with them in December
and we didn't see any but after several
months a friend who works there atoll
told us that all of them came back a lot
of theories appear higher water
temperatures overfishing made me magnet
resentment etcetera
do you know something about this uh I
mean yeah yeah I mean that that's the
the the the big thing with the bull
sharks of Playa they they so the sharks
come in they're following fish the
reason why the bull sharks are there to
begin with in Playa the reason why they
come through the area is because a lot

Spanish: 
of them are pregnant they moved through
the area they they're following their
prey I'm not even sure what species it
is that they're following and these they
hang around the area for a few months
and then they go off to the different
estuaries to give birth or the ones that
are not pregnant will go off and to go
mating but it just depends on what is
happening in the area so sometimes what
we've seen in the past is if a fisherman
goes in there catches one of the sharks
the Sharks when they're as they're
pulling the shark in the shark starts
releasing pheromones what is what the
shark is doing is its warning the other
sharks that something is happening and
these pheromones are releasing into the
water and it actually causes a shark the
rest of the sharks to scatter and so
these this this does happen quite a bit
so we've seen where where they've caught
and killed a shark and then the next day
in the next few days all the Sharks are
gone or we've seen
something happening to the game fish

English: 
population where all the fish have left
early or the fish gone to somewhere else
and all the Sharks follow so it it
varies I mean I've been out there and
the Sharks are not there and then three
days later the Sharks show up again and
then you know you come back and they're
hanging around for two weeks and then
something happens and we don't know what
and then the Sharks take off again
that's just the bull sharks in the area
of following the water following the
patterns following the moon I mean it's
a variety of things and and so just it
just depends it really is every seasons
different next season the Sharks could
be there early and stay there the entire
time and not leave the entire time
they're there just never know yeah
another question what happened how did
it happen that you'd be you you became
this like how do you call this this
relationship with sharks how did all
this began that was all of it was by

Spanish:

another question what happened how did
it happen that you'd be you you became
this like how do you call this this
relationship with sharks how did all
this began that was all of it was by

English: 
accident so it was more of well the way
it kind of started at Tiger Beach was we
went on one of the trips that we were
out there we were having trouble getting
the Tigers to hang around they were just
they were super shy they were kind of
hanging out like we knew the Tigers were
there but they didn't want to come in so
and I was always down there with a
camera or was always down there filming
and stuff I said you know what I'm just
gonna leave my camera up here let me
take some bait down maybe we can attract
them in and and that was it that's kind
of how it kind of birth that's how it
all started so I draw I brought the bait
box down and I started feeding the
Tigers and that's that's kind of how it
began now the relationship with these
sharks evolved over time the time that I
was in the water feeding the Sharks you
know I was you know we're down there for
an hour and a half sometimes two hours
and it started happening to where I was
watching their behavior and I was
watching all the way you know and start

Spanish:

it kind of started at Tiger Beach was we

an hour and a half sometimes two hours
and it started happening to where I was
watching their behavior and I was
watching all the way you know and start

English: 
watching lemon sharks pushing Tigers
away and and I just started watching
this game within the game you know that
this this kind of entire world opened up
to me just by just sitting
watching Tigers coming in and watching
when Emma like Emma one of the big
Tigers came in and princess one of the
smaller Tigers and if princess was
around we have her for two hours and
then all of a sudden Emma would show up
and then princess would leave and then
you know that so I got it started like
mmm what happened there like what is
going on with that and so that just
started opening up questions and it
would just you know so I started seeing
this this dance happening and that's
where these relationships started
forming and you know what we started
going to Tiger Beach in 2003 and here we
are 17 years later and and we're still
seeing the same sharks there and I'm
still seeing different ballets and
different dances and now we're starting
to see the offspring of some of the
tigers that you know showing up at our
area cuz we're seeing smaller sharks and
they're coming into the bait box that
you know we've never fed them before but

they're coming into the bait box that
you know we've never fed them before but

Spanish: 
they act like they know what we're doing
they're doing and so I can only assume
that these are offspring of some of the
the big females that have been coming in
so it's just I mean super exciting and
and and it's a learning process I'm
still a student you know that's the one
thing that I'm getting really excited
about is I don't know anything about
sharks I'm just a student and I'm always
learning and and I just hopefully one
day you know I'll know enough to really
really get a true understanding of these
animals you're the first one that
started with all this feeding with tiger
sharks is that correct I don't know if I
was the first one to feed them but I was
definitely the first to roll I was
definitely the first to figure out the
really big yes yeah you know that was
definitely something that had never been
done before never been recorded and as
well back rubs I think that was really
yeah believe so you know I mean it's

yeah believe so you know I mean it's

Spanish: 
just I mean all of this was because it's
all brand new the thing about shark
diving so when I first started the
magazine in 2003 tiger shark diving was
still kind of taboo I mean it was still
like people were diving with Tigers but
it was like well you could die with
Tigers during the day but you can't dive
at night and then people started diving
with tiger sharks at night like okay
well you can die with tiger sharks
outside the cage but you can't do it
con
great whites and then they started
diving with great whites outside the
cage and you know I mean so it was there
was a lot of there was still a lot of
unknown with these animals and then in
Tiger Beach really changed things
because it's so shallow you're talking
about water that's maybe anywhere from
40 feet to 20 feet deep so in that time
in that area you have a lot of time to
spend with these animals whereas you
know in different areas you didn't have
that before and so we you know we're
able to spend you know and and spend
year round with these guys the Tigers

able to spend you know and and spend
year round with these guys the Tigers

English: 
are there all year round so I mean
you're talking about a lot of people
spending a lot of time with these
animals and and learning a lot about
behavior and things that we've never
known before you know like for example I
mean for for a long time it was it was
thought that you know shark dives
organized shark dives were not good
laboratories to study sharks because
we're changing behavior because we're
feeding sharks it's not natural behavior
so it doesn't make a good lab however
you know spending time out there I
watched these these female tiger sharks
come in and one of the Sharks there that
that we worked with her name is tequila
she had two big bites taking out of her
out of her tail and so they were like
two big giant cookie cutter bites where
one of the males ripped off her tail and
within a year she grew all those to that
tail back completely filled in and that
was something that was relatively
unknown and so you know this this was
something to me that was really exciting

Spanish: 
are there all year round so I mean
you're talking about a lot of people

was something that was relatively
unknown and so you know this this was
something to me that was really exciting

Spanish: 
because it just proved how important
these organized shark dives are not for
showing you know not just to show people
sharks and just say oh wow sharks are
cool but as living laboratories of
things that we can learn off of these
animals like just new new behavior and
new science new new everything you keep
track of them because you see them all
the time so you absolutely you see the
way they they communicate or the way
they perform or well another question
this is a personal question have you
ever been bitten or I
a little bit 44 times
yeah I've been I've been bit by I still
have all my hands but it's been feeding
so it's it's it's the the thing that you
got to remember is when it comes to you
to sharks
it's your we're also or feeding sharks
so anybody who works like it because

so anybody who works like it because

English: 
it's like somebody who works with dogs
you work with dogs a long time
eventually you're gonna get bit myself
and some of our other feeders it does
happen so thankfully you know hasn't
been anything serious
but yeah I have you know i I've had
accidents and it's always my fault it's
you know my coupon it's I'm a hundred
percent responsible for it so yeah okay
I have a bunch of questions wait let me
let me take the good ones
Alice has a question first first of all
very interesting thank you
when mating when mating the male sharks
are aggressive towards the female sharks
yes it's extremely aggressive that's
that's one of the things that we're
tonic I believe tonic immobility is is
why sharks will go into tonic immobility

Spanish:

are aggressive towards the female sharks
yes it's extremely aggressive that's
that's one of the things that we're
tonic I believe tonic immobility is is
why sharks will go into tonic immobility

English: 
it has to do with relaxing the female to
the point so that the males can mate
with her without hurting the female or
badly because you see we see it all the
time in reef sharks and and and tiger
sharks where they're just completely bit
up
I mean chunks of fins are bitten off
their dorsal fin their tail fins their
their pictorials we see just big chunks
out of great whites where they just take
big chunks of flesh off of the females
as they're those they're they're trying
to mate with the females so yeah it's
it's it's extremely aggressive and I
think the the you know the tonic
immobility allows us to happen without
the females getting to hurt another good
question from Facebook and Playa del
Carmen the the bull shark feeding,

Spanish: 
it has to do with relaxing the female to
the point so that the males can mate
with her without hurting the female or
badly because you see we see it all the
time in reef sharks and and and tiger
sharks where they're just completely bit
arriba
I mean chunks of fins are bitten off
their dorsal fin their tail fins their
their pictorials we see just big chunks
out of great whites where they just take
big chunks of flesh off of the females
as they're those they're they're trying
to mate with the females so yeah it's
it's it's extremely aggressive and I
think the the you know the tonic
immobility allows us to happen without
the females getting to hurt another good
question from Facebook and Playa del
Carmen the the bull shark feeding,

Spanish: 
is it bad for the sharks, do they get accustomed to humans and
and just expect the feeding from the
humans and does it influence
something with the Sharks, yeah that's
that's been the biggest you know that's
the because you know what people tend to
do is is they associate like land
animals like they say don't feed bears
because bears are going to associate
people with food and same thing with
with with wolves and and that does
happen with land animals however with
ocean animals that doesn't happen so a
shark can be conditioned to visit a dive
site or an area if it thinks it's going
to be fed yes you can condition a shark
visitar
but they don't associate people with
food sharks are very sense driven so if
if they don't smell the food they're not
going to hang around for very long so
even though we're in the water if if
there's no food there's no bait there's
no scent if the foods not there the
shark is not there they will leave and

English: 
there's plenty of there is a lot of
documented proof to this which is like
Stuart Cove so Stuart Cove has been
doing this dive with the reef sharks for
30 40 plus years somewhere around there
I think it's more like 40 years now
where they go every day to the same area
and they feed the Sharks there well when
they jump in they do two dives so the
first dive they jump in there's no bait
they just swimming around and then the
divers are in the water they'll see
maybe one maybe two sometimes ten sharks
hanging around the area but the Sharks
are always in the distance are always
kind of hanging around but they're not
really coming in close on the second
dive when they see that feet are coming
in with the tube and and the scent hits
the water boom you know 50 sharks all
right they're all hanging out you know
so if that were true where were all the
Sharks before they knew there was no
food there was no sense so the Sharks
don't want anything to do with the
people I mean if if it were the opposite
then the minute that everybody jumped in
the water

el agua

English: 
boom all 50 sharks would be on top of
the divers thinking do you have food do
you have food you have food no they're
all scattered this and that in another
place that we did that was in u-neck so
there's a dive site where they've been
feeding the Sharks there for 40 plus
years and they have their dive site they
have this area where they've been
feeding we went over there
we were about maybe a couple hundred
yards away which is maybe two football
fields away from where they feed their
sharks we anchored our boat and we were
there and we put a bunch of chum in the
water and we would think because we had
because they've been feeding sharks in
that area for so long all the reef
sharks would come to our boat and then
we'd have them all over us and we'd be
feeding them the opposite happened reef
sharks are used to feeding in this one
spot but because we were over here you
know with our bait over here
um the reef sharks didn't come over and
we're trying to feed they treated it

English: 
they they went back to being shy sharks
they went back to behaving like their
normal shark behavior because they
didn't know our boat they didn't trust
us they didn't trust the area just
because there's food in the water
doesn't mean that they were gonna come
right in because they had no idea what
we were doing or why we were there so
they were back we'll return to being shy
curious you know shy sharks I was
staying out in the den the peripherals
or staying away from us until they got
comfortable before they would come in so
it's just it's just something that yeah
you know there's just a lot of proof
that says no that doesn't happen okay
there's a Lucia once the last question
thank you very much yeah good question
please when we go diving we are tell
enough to touch giant mantas or whale
sharks because they have like a layer
that protects them against parasites is
that correct or not, and is it okay to

Spanish:

that protects them against parasites is
that correct or not, and is it okay to

English: 
touch the rest of the sharks?
you wherever you go you have to respect the
local rules I mean the reason we're
we're very hands-on at Tiger beaches is
because of the area this is a this is a
feeding dive this is a you know there's
an area and we teach people to to defend
yourself if you got a curious tiger
shark so we ask them to push them off
and you know we we we ask people not to
touch the show arts and we'd be feeding
them or touching them but when you go to
a different area and they ask you not to
touch the whale sharks of the manner
raised it's more because they're looking
at it's not just you that wants to touch
them but if you've got you know a bunch
of different dive boats out there you're
going to have a lot of people wanting to
touch this animal potentially spooking
it off that layer that they're talking
about that hat that that protective
layer is more for like other species of
fish that the when I touch sharks they

English: 
don't they don't have that that slime
layer like like grouper does or other
fish species do they got you know the
Sharks of there
their shark skin is designed to allow
them to move through the water silently
and so they got that really unique you
know that if you like zoom in on on a on
shark skin you got that really cool
looking
that almost sandpaper like feel to their
skin I think a lot of people say it
because you know I mean it if they if
you tell people they got that protective
layer it helps keep people from touching
the sharks you know which is great I
think it just keeps the animals safe
more than anything else you just you
just got to respect the local rules and
and you know the the locals know better
than anybody else so okay Eli we have a
question here from a bit Salinas he

Spanish: 
don't they don't have that that slime
layer like like grouper does or other
fish species do they got you know the
Sharks of there
their shark skin is designed to allow
them to move through the water silently
and so they got that really unique you
know that if you like zoom in on on a on
shark skin you got that really cool

because you know I mean it if they if
you tell people they got that protective
layer it helps keep people from touching
the sharks you know which is great I
think it just keeps the animals safe
more than anything else you just you
just got to respect the local rules and
and you know the the locals know better
than anybody else so okay Eli we have a
question here from a bit Salinas he

English: 
wants to know how the Sharks communicate
between them if it's it's low frequency
sound or do you know anything about it
no no sounds whatsoever it's it I think
it's it's more I think they send
electrical signals to they kind of like
they like send emails to each other or
are they just they use Bluetooth or
something it's it's some form of
telepathy whether I think it's
electrical signal I think that's why
they're so sensitive with with their a
collide Lorenzini to be able to
communicate with each other
or their their lateral line that picks
up vibrations in the water it's just
something it's something that people
they still haven't figured out yet but
it's it's some kind of wireless
communication you know for lack of
better words because just sending
electrical signals to each other
okay and another question from Marcos is
if you know if you can train a

if you know if you can train a

English: 
Lemon Shark "like a dog" they mean you can
condition a lemon shark to to to do
certain things but I don't know if if
you can train one I don't know I mean
it's I might I would say yes but I had
yet to to truly
haven't spent the time or I don't know
anybody who has spent the kind of time
with a particular species of shark that
are with a lemon shark that can say that
yeah we've trained it to do certain
things now you condition like whale
sharks with buckets and like the
aquarium of Georgia where they slap a
bucket on the surface and the whale
sharks come up and they know that it's
feeding time they've they've conditioned
and well that you can't they've trained
nurse sharks in the pens to come up on
the platform and then when they kind of
do a hand signal all the lemon sharks
are the nurse sharks swim off of the

Spanish: 
Lemon Shark "like a dog" they mean you can
condition a lemon shark to to to do

Spanish: 
platform but in the wild I don't know I
mean in definitely in aquarium settings
yes so I imagine yes if you spent enough
time with the animal it's possible, okay
everyone's a question?, adelante Pedro, well this was a very
good a very good presentation, I just
want to make something clear about
training the lemon shark
for many years I worked in Cancun and
the part of my job was to Train nurse
sharks lemons and the bonnets, I want
to say that they were a civilian test
talk about absolutely yes they were
capable to learn of learning complicated
sophisticated behaviors so starting with
a but all animals in a way or not they
are going to be trainable, you just use
conditioning and positive
reinforcement and then they will they
will follow your instructions and they a
the way we were training the Sharks back

English: 
in the in the early 2000s aim well we
got very good response from them from
the nurse and a and the lemon sharks as
well so trainable yes they are trainable
don't wait for them to roll up to bark
and to back but they can station they
contain the conceit they can turn around
a follower target
oh wow yeah I definitely love to talk to
you some more about that when you know
on a later day would love to learn some
more about absolutely oh great, well Pedro
is our marine biologist he's always here,
Lilliana is asking if sharks have a
mission, like ants?

English: 
yeah to make more babies and to feed and and just to be badass cuz they're sharks, okay,
okay but I mean on that on that note I mean every
shark has a job in the ocean every shark
has a responsibility so I mean the one
thing that that that you know the sharks
perform their role in in the ecosystem
so whereas they're all specialists they
have a specialty of some kind where like
the tiger sharks help control turtle
populations the great amory or the
hammerheads help control stingray
populations white sharks the seal
populations you got Makos that help
control tuna and swordfish populations
so you have the ground dwellers like you
know the the the horn shark that help
control sea urchin populations so every
shark has a responsibility in the ocean
the bull sharks have figured they're
there so massive because their shark
killers they help control shark
populations so that you need to be big
and that's why they don't get on well
with other species of sharks so it's
pretty uh pretty exciting you know what

we got a question here, hello everybody
can you here me, more than a question I have
have statement, I want to say that
Eli Martinez is the best person you
can go to meet Alligators
I was looking off to go with him to dive
to Banco Chinchorro to meet some Crocs
and it was a time of my life so if you
are considering to go and meet some
sharks definitely he is the person you
want to go with, thank you
and it wasn't a question thank you very much.
okay no more no more questions in the

an expert in any of those animals I mean
I was lucky enough to just spend as many
years as I have and as much time in the
water that I have with these animals and
that's the reason why I feel confident
about speaking about them the way I do
is because I feel like I put in the
hours to you to to understand their
behavior a little better and I've seen
things that you know that I've been very
fortunate and and feel really blessed
that I've been able to to do but you
know we can we can personally talk about
the some of the amazing wildlife that we
get to experience on some of the other
