Love our regular mates Homer the Hammerhead and Norman the Grey Nurse shark. 🦈Who'd you rather catch on a swim at Bondi?

[@calebwood1187]

where's the bloody shark alarm?

[@aaron-iq5du]

@@calebwood1187 They dont need it, that beach aint busy and the sharks that go there are most likely to be small

[@InfiniteSpaceMedia]

Copen Playz Bondi beach is definitely busy mate 😂
They don’t use the shark alarm in many of these cases as the sharks are usually a less aggressive species. When they see a white they sound it because they’re known to mistake surfers for seals.

Neither!

I think they know. They were calm haha. Otherwise they would have also put up a shark alarm bc Norman was so close to the people haha

A grey nurse? People worry about sharks like they should worry about going for a jog in the African Savannah.
A whitey or a whaler maybe. Tigers even. I wouldn't work underground without knowing the risks.

[@MichaelAyden]

Alarm system idea! Hey lads, you could fix some sort of warning siren or chirping alarm to the drone that you can intermittently sound when you/it has spotted a shark below it. To let surfers know that when the alarm goes off that there is a shark underneath and then they can act accordingly.

[@caiseber4917]

the commentary on Norman was too funny 😂

[@pixieanna2058]

I thought nurse sharks were friendly.

[@emmaklein1726]

They are! It never attached him.

[@Jessebella1]

All sharks are, most attacks are curiosity. We feel with our hands, they have no hands and can only test, feel and sense something with their mouths. Many times after a bite a shark leaves because it realises it is not food and made a mistake.

[@sherrybennington7142]

They are friendly

[@icewolfwyvern7245]

ban nab some sharks are blind but can feel our movement in the water so they try and figure out what we are and 10% of people die by sharks, just like snakes they don’t have arms so snakes and sharks have a different way of showing Curiosity so Jesse Bella is right

[@LHalford94]

@ban nab sharks don't like the taste of humans really. You rarely get a shark bite and then finish someone. It's a bite because they're like nah that's not for me
