Drone Footage of a Great White Shark Sleeping? It's Possible.

- In this week's video, I capture a white shark in a behavior that could possibly show the shark sleeping. One of the theories currently being investigated regards the patterns juvenile white sharks make in the shallows of Southern California. It is an interesting theory that will need much study, but it could explain the patterns I've filmed consistently.
I also film some of the closest and most detailed slow motion shots of white sharks off our coast to date. One actually appears to spy hop.

You are making a real impact on white sharks. Thank you for caring.
QUICK NOTE on this VIDEO: The footage of the shark making the circles near the paddleboarder is the NOT the same shark that was in pursuit. I simply made a mistake in my script and placed the narration with the wrong clip. However, BOTH sharks are behaving differently. Both clips were filmed just minutes between each other. I just placed in the wrong clip with the wrong narration within the video. A simple editing mistake. The "POSSIBLE" sleeping patterns, however, are still very much food for thought.
ok, sick vid bro, i hope you get to 1Mill, ppl need to know more about these amazing creatures!
Your obvious love for these sharks shines through like a bright light. I have loved these sharks since I was a young boy, they scared the crap out of me at times but I think that was more my fault than theirs. Yes Great Whites have been responsible for some deaths, but the Bull shark, Tiger shark, and a white tip reef shark are the main killers in most of the attacks. I kinda wish I could swim with a GW, but still lack the courage. Keep these videos coming , stay Covid free. Cheers from the land of kangaroos and wallabies, plus our big, big Great Whites.

I'm guessing sharks need to keep water flowing through their gills even when sleeping, hence the need to keep swimming?
Just in case you didn't see my comments. maybe you'll see them here, the redness in the sky at Sunset and sunup is lithium and lithium is the reason why these sharks are not aggressive, and the people don't give a shit either. it's being sprayed on everybody daily across the planet lithium and other chemicals but lithium is one of them it's right there in your pretty sunset picture. And as you can see their spraying a lot of it. look how red that Sunset is you don't believe me research it lithium makes the sky red during sunsets. I've lived on this planet for 62 years and I've never seen a sunset that red.
Wow. I have been scuba diving and watching underwater life for 30 years. The videos you produce are by far some of the most amazing I have ever seen. Fingers crossed they will be used to educate people and help to save our oceans and marine life.
You’re contributing to the better of this world Carlos, through enlightening awareness and a never ending passion for our planet’s wildlife and the beauty of our precious nature; with your styles of content you get to maximize the rich uniqueness of your footage- in other words it brings soothing peace to my soul and so many others of your followers…
I’ve been following you since you were around a few thousand subscribers and to see how much you’ve grown makes me genuinely happy, it’s always what you deserved and so is the rest of all good the future holds for you 🦈💟
You're not just a terrific aerial videographer, you're an exceptional writer/narrator. Appreciate your work and conservationist efforts, Carlos.
And you pay exact attention to accuracy
every time you post a video i'm thinking "nah too long, just gonna skip to the good stuff'" but every time i'm hooked from the start because of your beautiful and informative narration. the footage is really just the icing on top
It appears sharks have different personalities. Some may be more curious.
Love your illuminating videos of these beautiful amazing sharks!🦈
In answer to your question about why sharks behave differently, perhaps it's because they have slightly different "sharkonalities"; some are more timid, others, risk-takers, but they probably all get together later and compare notes in a supernatural collective unconscious way while dreaming ; ) Nature has so much amazing wisdom and intelligence on so many micro and macro-levels it really does seem supernatural at times!
In the case of the shark that followed the paddleboarder, it could be that the shark found him interesting because he was reacting directly to the presence of the shark. It was an actual interaction. By contrast, the other paddleboarder went right on by the other shark without reacting to it at all. That may have made it less interesting to the shark.
WAIT WHAT?! Wow, you really did it Malibu. You actually caught a Great White sleeping on a drone. You’ve certainly made some history. I can’t wait to see the footage!
yeah!
there is older footage from an underwater drone where a shark seems to be sleeping
@@cognitivedisability9864 Yeah but this one’s from a drone. Near the freaking surface. Where there are humans. Definitely more historical than the one that seemed a lot deeper down.
Why historical.. Sharks are sleeping all the time around us..we just don't realize it. But yes the Malibu artist is definitely catching some amazing footage!!
@@Melsincatuation It’s historical because I’m pretty sure a White Shark hasn’t been filmed sleeping near the surface before. Could be wrong though.
Im am 17 years old and you are by far my favourite to watch on youtube! The Quality of the videos is extraordinary and I am alwaya excited for the new content. Keep it up:)
You do awesome work. I have literally learned more from your simple videos then from years of watching Shark Week.
They are only interested in click bait, instead of education.
Great video, I never thought of a shark sleeping, but I guess they have to. Kind of like a Tesla on auto pilot.
Wonderous episode! My hypothesis is that SoCal is a 'learning habitat' for pre-pubescent sharks. Swimming in circles reminds me of aquatic mammals that 'sleep' with half the brain at a time. Do sharks have hemispherical brains? Swimming in circles in known-safe waters seems like a good sleep environment, right? As long as these young sharks have adequate natural prey, this fantastic learning habitat can include human beings, too!
I love fall sunsets..the sky is always so brilliant:) I have never seen a great white sleep ..that's phenomenal..and the sunset at the end was magical
These videos get me more excited than shark week ❤🦈
Plot twist it's actually them drawing a ritual to summon the megalodon
Thank you Carlos! I am glad you are seeing what us SoCal surfers have been seeing for years and shedding the right light that these majestic creatures are not violent killers but mere Juveniles that are sharing and thriving in the same environment we are shredding waves in! lol My respect for you grows with every video you put out.
One of the best footages ever♥️. Thank you. The beginning and the end were phenomenal and award winning
Dude I love your videos but this one got me♥️
Thank you for doing what your doing! I’ve talked to a few surfer friends here in Oregon and they watch your vids too. You really open peoples minds to the beauty of great whites!!
Another great one, Carlos! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As always a joy to watch your GWS footage and listen to your narration.
I really admire how you are able to reflect your own behavior and motives in these videos and that you're willing to take a step back to re-evaluate or correct things.
That sunset at the end was absolutely gorgeous btw 😍
Another great video Carlos. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing sunsets.
Also thanks for all the knowledge you bring to the general public about sharks, very educacional.
I am a scuba diver and two weeks ago I was diving in the Maldives filming sharks, majestic manta rays and other reef fishes.
Everything you do is amazing. You actually caught a white sleeping. That side view is so majestic. Thank you for all your videos. You help humans understand these beautiful creatures so much better.
They are not the monsters that are pretrayed that way.
It’s so wonderful to see your videos! I absolutely love all these amazing things you’re finding in the behaviors of sharks that before may have not been may be seen or understood fully and how helpful your videos are to furthering that knowledge for science. It’s so great to see your continued success in this endeavor. And I truly believe because you are doing something from a place of pure passion and that is magnificent and will bring you so much success I hope you certainly deserve it! And of course the incredible benefit it’s bringing to nature on so many different levels! 💙
I always always look forward to your videos, thank you, I have learned so much more about White Sharks 😊
I’m subscribed to about 30 channels but this channels uploads are the one’s I look forward to the most. These vids are just beautiful
Absolutely amazing & Beautifully shot and edited! I sure appreciate your content! Cheers. 🤝✌
Thanks a ton!
@@TheMalibuArtist Your Welcome,! Cheers & Ty
Ty so! Cheers!
More beautiful cinematography and insightful commentary. You, Sir, are an artist. Love watching your posts on CZcams. From UK.
Incredible! This could be an amazing discovery! Nice footage!
Such a beautiful video. Amazing content as always.
What a spectacular video. Amazing the way that shows the sharks more like lions of the seas and not assassins looking for the next target like the media shows, and what is that sunset, gorgeous, absolutely brilliant. Una opera d'arte!
Great video buddy, and well done on capturing the sleeping footage. Incredible video
From above it looked like there were some isolated kelp plants, and I wonder if these are remains of a kelp forest? If so, are there any plans to replant and re-establish it? Your videos are always fascinating, thanks for making them.
I am a drone pilot in europe and a shark admirer, and i have to admit what you have, the opportunity to do is one of the top things i envy. Just being able to wake up every day and send your bird up to watch these amazing creatures is incredible and a huge privilege. I recently found your channel and I find myself coming back just to relax and admire your footage and commentary. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video , and awesome reflection.. great combination . Best shark videos I've ever seen . They are so relaxing to watch
Thank you. I am always anxious to see your next video. That was beautiful once more.
Your videos and commentary are amazing and informative. Thank you for sharing your love of our beautiful planet.
Possibly the sharks are similar to children and people .. they are either interested nd nosey or arent lol. These videos are always amazing and your voiceover commentary is soothing. Thx for sharing
Great video and narrative! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Terrific!👍🦈
Thanks so much!
Thank you!!! I could only hope to do the great work you do. You are making a difference for something I really care about!! It's great to kind of tag along with you through u-tube videos and your always appreciated commentary. I think that is why many people love this channel. Always looking forward to any work you do! Again THANKS!🦈
Top nature channel! Beautiful video! 💕👍🏻
Thank you again for posting your marvellous videos and your insight into what you observe.
As always thank you for such amazing footage!!! I'd never really thought about sharks sleeping but it's incredible to think about and watch... I noticed you mentioned seeing less sharks as winter months approach but here in NC where I live it's actually the opposite, this is the time of the year our beaches have the most GW action as they travel from up North down South to warmer waters. I use the Ocearch app to follow some incredible great whites that have been tagged and return to NC coast year after year. I love tracking how far these majestic creatures travel from one season to the next 💙💙💙
Fantastic footage , keep up the great work 👍
Beautiful work. That opening shot was amazing.
This is absolutely fascinating, and your footage is amazing!!!!!! Incredible! Thank you!
I love your footage. I always knew they were there lurking about. I am surprised they don’t attack the people more often. There have been plenty of attacks in the past and I am sure there will be plenty in the future. Thanks for your excellent footage. It is very good.
White Sharks, Sunsets & Carlos: what a great day to be alive.
Love your style! Keep grindin'
Until next time. ✌
Wow absolutely gorgeous sunset! Footage and info with the sharks was very interesting. Thanks for another awesome video 🙏👏👍
Seems you got all of us waiting for your videos..😁👏
I love watching your videos. I live in the Central Valley. I hardly ever go to the Los Angeles area beaches because I usually visit Pismo Beach or Morro Bay. it would be very interesting to see you film these beaches one day to find out if sharks are as active as in the LA area.
Wow! Loved it. Keep filming 👍❤️
Great footage and observations as always!
Awesome footage & work! Still working on the night flights? When will they come?
Wow just wow. Breath taking. Your videos are amazing! 🤍🦈💙🦈🤍🦈💙
I love your relationships with sharks and the way you explain the beautiful side of their nature to us
Terrific footage! Fascinating 👍
Love watching your excellent footage of great majestic Whiteys as if I'm flying above them.
The SUN and the warmth,awesome m8,cheers.
☮💙🖖♂️
Wow this is fascinating. I think it's awesome your doing this drone research.
I love watching your videos. I’m new to Cali but have always loved sharks.
Really appreciate your videos, they are changing the perception of Sharks, which is what we need.
More beautiful footage.
Thank you.
I am very honoured to get to see these videos these are magnificent
I think the shark was sleeping and the paddle boarder started it awake. The one where the one individual sharks pursued the board while the other didn’t it’s because each sharks has it’s own personality just like humans do. Some are more bold and curious while others just want to be left alone. These are great videos. I really want to get myself a drone.
Love your drone study of WS🦈🦈🦈
This video is amazing. Well narrated and beautifully shot and edited. I am very interested in your process. Do you write a script and then piece the b-roll around around it, or do you let the footage write the script? I think I have to get a drone to get my videos to a better level, the perspective is amazing. The shark footage is cool, but the pivot around the pelican in your opening is what really blew me away!
They are so beautiful.. I could watch them all day.. thank you for giving us the video’s to enjoy and understand them better
This is the best science video Ive seen in a long while
Wonderful footage as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great footage!
Awesome footage once again!
Thanks again!
You always amaze me with your uploads and love every single one of them, white sharks are my favourite animal and I’ve learnt so much, thank you ♥️
Omg I loved the sunset at the beginning of the video beautiful footage and a big thank you for all the new information you deliver too us, im so interested in sharks especially great whites I find them so terrifying but so obsessed with their behaviour and I've learnt alot more from you so a big thank you from a massive Malibu Artist fan in the UK 🇬🇧 😀
So nice of you! Thank you so much!
thank you so much for your work! best regards from germany
Beautiful video 🥰
Thanks for the wonderful video. Have a nice day.
Hey! quick question, how long does it typically take for you to find a shark in the Nov./ Dec. months? thank you! I enjoy your content.
nice video😀liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing
Love your videos! What drone do you use? As a surfer you’ve inspired me to get a drone and look for sharks I’m in the U.K. and I feel like it’s a grey area as to what exactly is in our waters.
So beautiful like always !
I love sharks especially the great white shark. Thanks to you, I'm no longer afraid of sharks. This is so perfeckt drohne Video.
Beautiful filming,,,
wow, to see a white (sleeping), incredible... Thanks
You are the voice for these so called “beast” that allows us to see the true BEAUTY. Thank you for the dedication you put in to their VOICE. A true hero in my heart❤️💛💚
Such incredible creatures, nature is so beautiful sometimes, thanks for your amazing work i really enjoy your videos, it makes me look at the world differently
Beautiful. Thank you.
Many thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thank you!
When are you coming to Florida to make one of these videos?
Great video :)
Wow. Awesome video
Well done Carlos...grew up in Newport played in the ocean and lived in Malibu. Lived in Hawaii as well a d I just love your videos.
My 3 yr old grandson is in love with sharks a d all sealife. He knows the names of all of them and is super smart. I'm amazed everyday.🙏💜🐋🐟🐠🦈🦞
I am wondering the shark you started the video with and mentioned it making a movement compared to spy-hopping did it not appear to have an injury either at or near to it’s left eye? Could that have any bearing on such movement? Just curious, wonderful video as always.
THANK U SO MUCH, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEHAVIOUR BEFOR..!
It appeared to me the shark was napping. Next question: Do sharks dream? And what do they dream of? Fat, juicy stingrays?
Maybe they were snoozing & your footage could help map some of that out. Great work -keep it up
Thanks again my man.
Undoubtably one of your best! I throughly enjoyed this documentary it was enlightening and thought provoking makes me wonder if they do sleep? I believe they do now! Sincerely thank you God Bless
I definitely feel like I want to pet a Great White They seem so chilled in some videos, especially this one!
what a beautiful video
Great video! It is possible that the shark is sleeping. Dolphins are also known to swim in circles due to a phenomenon called unihemispheric sleep, where one brain hemisphere goes to sleep while the other hemisphere maintains some level of activity. As a result the one hemisphere active will mean that the opposite side muscles for swimming are still active ie right side active will results in swimming can circles to the left (anti-clockwise). Don’t know much about sleep in sharks but maybe they also have unihemispheric sleep?
In South Australia we have white sharks. The city of Adelaide is in a gulf and there is an annual migration of snapper (great eating fish) that the sharks follow. Unfortunately there have been quite a few lethal encounters with these sharks. These sharks are usually over 4 meters in length and have been seen to be over 5 meters! I've surfed around South Australia for over 40 years and have never seen one. Now I know why. The original Jaws live footage was filmed in these waters.
I love ❤️ your clips thy are absolutely beautiful
Yahooo!man,nice 👽
