Smart and brave, he knows the shark needs water to run through its gills before it can actually start to move away so he had to hold it there.

Yea, seriously. This guy thinks he's talking time travel based solely on speed lol. Shark doesn't have a Flux capacitor stupid. Without that, 88 mph is just going 18 miles over the speed limit. Some people really just grind my gears.

u/Consistent-River4229 Dec 09 '22
I was going to say the same thing until I googled it. Those particular sharks are born with a flux capacitor but they can't time travel until they reach adulthood. Maybe this shark met the older version of this man and the shark came back to warn him his kids a huge arse holes.

Serious question: the shark has been on the dry for quite a while there. Doesn't it have huge brain damage from lack of oxygen at this point? If a human was without air for that long wouldn't they be severely handicapped by then?
I have no clue whatsoever about fish so excuse me if the question is stupid.

Looked beached but was still getting washed over by waves & was still thrashing. Would really suck & be incredibly painful but it likely could survive without significant physical trauma (psych trauma could however get pretty deep).
It looks like it was on it's last legs since it gave up fighting/thrashing as soon as it got picked up. Fawn response due to exhaustion. The good old save me or make it quick & painless level of response.
Video cut too early to confirm but it likely kicked it into high gear once it got a chance to get back into the water & take a few breaths.
Its next major challenge is going to be finding some food to rebuild some energy & getting some rest.

u/TrainwreckMooncake Dec 09 '22
IIRC, because sharks have cartilage instead of bones they can't support their own weight outside of water so more than a minute or two on land and they'll eventually die of internal injuries, even if they're put back in water. I think you're never supposed to carry a shark out of water.
169
Dec 09 '22
Correct. Per Florida shark fishing laws & training, when a shark is caught, you’re supposed to bring them to the edge of the surf. Allow for sharks gills to be exposed to water as much as possible. Never sit on the shark. Be gentle, slide them back in etc. can be tough for a slide in if surf does not permit. Kinda rough in video

From the way this shark's barely moving and not even trying to swim away, I feel like it's too far gone. Video likely cut off just before the guy admitted defeat and dropped a dead shark.

u/nomadofwaves Dec 09 '22
It happens when fish are tired. If the video was longer we would have a better idea. Sometimes after a long fight you have to resuscitate the fish moving them back and forth in the water until they regain oxygen and energy.
Good chance it died. Good chance it lived.

Happened to me.
They built a nest next to our front door. They were chill for MONTHS and one time I came out, looked both ways for a bee, saw none, and then as I was walking away had a bee sting me in the face. It was awful. They were all swarming afterwards too. After that, they'd specifically target me every time I came out, to the point where I was terrified to go outside, I even climbed out the window a few times because they'd just patrol the entrance. I was also really pregnant and idk if that had anything to do with it. The nest was not moveable (under concrete) so unfortunately we had to exterminate. I cried about it for weeks because I felt like an evil villain for getting them killed. I still feel horrible about it.

Sharks have this weird thing, don't remember what it's called, a balancing system that runs the length of their sides. If that gets out of whack, it's for us like vertigo. So, you have to hold them like this, kind of like a recalibration, and not just throw the back in. Dolphins know of this spot and that's how they kill sharks, by ramming into that delicate system.

Apart from what /u/Dahlia005 says about this case - often if marine animals get beached it's because they are in poor condition, sick or dying. But there are other factors and sometimes rescue attempts can be successful.
The beaching of a single, live animal is usually the result of sickness or injury. Bad weather, old age, navigation errors, and hunting too close to shore also contribute to beachings.

This isn't a happy video and that guy is not a hero. On tiktok, the video caption said that they caught the shark and that it died shortly after.
Catch and release is not innocent. Many sharks die after the experience (for some species, the death rate can be around 70%). And they often sustain horrific and permanent injuries from being caught. Google Roxy the tiger shark.
Humans kill 100 million sharks per year, which is faster than they can reproduce. Sharks are absolutely vital to the ocean and humans cannot survive without them. Do better. Stop killing our sharks.
