I smiled throughout watching this video.
Special thanks to Emma 😂
…ah, Tiger Sharks are stated to be the 2nd behind Great Whites in attacking humans, this particular Tiger Shark might be friendly, but are you going to be trusting all of them to act like this? You have got big brass balls….
This man must have balls made of solid brass. Holy Christ..
Emma: there’s my giant cleaner shrimp

Diver "trive on affection they never had before'
Me watching. "Hmmm… maybe i am a shark"
Funny, because in my language we call sharks dogfish. He says she is like a labrador.
Unfortunately this man ended up being eaten by a shark. It just wanted affection oh and a good meal.

Imagine having the shark defend him…. most vicious love.
This cute story reminds me that guy… Grizzly Bears Friend…
Gentleness and love are the universal language. ❣️
Aww this is wholesome
My mind is officially blown. Goes to show we don’t know anywhere near as much as we think we do about animals!
Outstanding,every time the diver made contact with Emma's head she would roll her eyes upward as if in ecstasy???This Shark knows you it's incredible!!!
Great video and thank you Jim for being an advocate for these beautiful creatures. Just to let him and others who have a deep understanding of the species, I did my part in shark conservation by refusing to eat Shark Fin soup that was offered to me during a business dinner with customers while at a Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Chinese restaurant. I didn't hold anything back and respectfully told them how I felt about the devastation of the species, all for a vanity plate and greed.
I recently wrote my U.S. Senator and asked her if there is something more we could do to discourage China from launching huge fishing fleets that prey on Sharks just for their fins. To make matters worst, many of the sharks are still alive after having their dorsal or other fins cut off and subsequently drown because they cannot get water to flow over their gills. Sharks are a very important element in our ocean ecosystem and since they are a top predator, eradicating the species will cause a widespread collapse of our ocean's health.
I relate the Shark's predicament to what happened to the American Bison back in the 1870-1880s. In a short ten years, Americans almost drove the Buffalo to extinction. We slaughtered them by the thousands where millions used to roam, killing them just for the thrill of it and also as a means during the Indian Wars to deprive Native Americans of their most important food source. If not for a group of people who recognized the species were on the brink of extinction, the Buffalo would have been no more in the 1880s. These heroes located some small herds outside of Yellowstone and started a conservation and recovery program that ultimately saved them from human to animal genocide. It was quite a miraculous undertaking and I thank those people for the good they performed very long ago.
Wow, I learned so much about sharks in 3 minutes. I had no idea they liked affection, and could be friends with humans.
Hiiii
At first I was like…must be a nurse shark or something. Then I heard tiger shark and..😳
Jesus loves you
Anyone can be changed with love… But, térrrorísts and their supporters won't…
