- Jonathan travels to Mexico for an up close encounter with Bull sharks, infamous for the fact that they are known to be the most dangerous species of shark to humans. He gets to try a chain mail anti-shark suit, and meets a biologist who is studying the sharks to learn more about their population and habits.

Anyone watching this in 2024
me this brings back memories
Yes, amazing channel!
Hola
I think shark attacks are more frequent nowadays
Yessir
this guy is super underrated! wish we could get more videos like this, i miss old youtube.
You and me both!
We are still releasing new episodes though.
He is NOT underrated! He has 323,565,501 views on this channel!
still underrated@@charlesthomas5956
The sea is salty because of the tears of misunderstood sharks who just want a hug.
So true!
😂

Uh is because by rock
Jonathan: bull sharks are the most dangerous!
Also Jonathan: lets dive with bull sharks!
Ok you can dive with bull sharks and I will walk on the water with Jesus because I'm scared of sharks and I think I would have enough of that I could do it

@@RebelRoseJade don't be such a baby not all sharks are dangerous you know
@@diamondtiger0192 To each their own
@@RebelRoseJade im born to be wild
6:58 The shark missed a fish. So he wanted to hug and cry but he pushed him away.
Shame.
Awwww
am I the only one who thinks this is so freaking cute?
Yes. Yes you are.
Your not alone
Right. I also thought when they just swallow the fish and don't sink their teeth into something big and thrash their head around they kind of look harmless xD They just behave according to circumstance. Have you seen the video of the diver getting charged by a bullshark head on from far away out of the deep and the only way he could stop it from biting him without further interrogation was to shove his harpoon into its open mouth? ^^ That was a scary one.
This man made up my entire childhood. I vividly remember wanting to become a marine biologist!
Same here 👌
Same.
Until I saw Jaws

Bull sharks have the highest levels of testosterone out of any animal. Don't know where that fits in the conversation, I just think it's interesting.
Are they super aggressive?
Justice For Seth Rich WWG1WGA actually yes, they are one of the most aggressive types
@@justiceforsethrichwwg1wga160 Yes, there's a reason why most people consider them the most dangerous shark.
@Handsome Jack Bulls are not small.
Compared to tigers and whites they are. They usually don’t get much larger than about 9 feet
Police Shark: Tell me what happened
Shark: These aliens descended from above and were giving us food
Police Shark: Uh huh
Shark: Then they probed my dorsal fin!
Police Shark: Sure buddy, look, I have things to do
qwertyuiop123456789 part 2
Bull shark 1: aliens are coming back!!!!
Bull shark 2: I hope it’s food
Bull shark 3: WAIT A SEC AHHHHHHHHHHHH
5 hours later
Police basking shark: yea I see 3 bull sharks has fins that been cut off but they did not make it
Police bull shark: really? Why would they do this to my brothers
Police basking shark: idk
Bullsharkfan897 The beast in the lake Part 3
People: it must be the Chinese
Sharks: why
People: because they eat everything and anything and your fins are an ingredient in their soup
Not nice
Part 4
Shark newscaster: we have a serial finner in the South China Sea. Seven sharks have lost their fins in a brutal attack. The assailants are believed to not be sharks. Who could it be? We’ll leave that to you. This has been Reef News Live, signing off!
@@nikhilbarretto5804 part 5: shark detective 1: well another innocent shark fins missing
Shark detective 2:so who do you think it is?
Shark detective 1:our worst enemy
Shark detective 2:who?
Shark detective 1:Asians
Shark detective 2: what makes you say that?
Shark detective 1:well some Americans told us Asians make something called shark fin soup
Shark detective 2:that’s just disgusting
I love that your are bringing a positive awareness to the sharks. They need all the protection they can get.
6:58
People: Most dangerous shark
Diver: *Proceeds to push shark's head away when it misses fish*
If you're still interested; that's what you're supposed to do, for example if a shark comes straight at you (what's possible) you just gently push them away
@@lothbrok2770 haha, they really did this with tiger sharks though!
Yeah, they probably have to do that to assert their dominance and claim their personal space.
But.. that's what you're supposed to do
@@axelnick1 until you do this to the wrong shark that day and it snaps back so quick taking your hand, possibly arm, off.
This man singlehandedly made my childhood.
These videos have me convinced that fish are a LOT more intelligent than people think they are.
wow , they eat other fish wooow , and also they eat the fish hahaha
They definitely have some degree of conscience which is mostly unnecessary in encounters with members of their same Phylum but especially cartilagineous fish (e.g. sharks,rays etc.) seem to be very aware of their surroundings.
knifeofspaghetti true very true
They also make excellent soup.
People say that fish forget everything but they don't
Woah... how long has it been? Like 5 years and now I’m 14. I frickin love Jonathan’s blue world. I got it in my recommended and I’m happy about it.
Aw thanks!!! Thanks for being a long term viewer and fan! We appreciate it!!!
Same and same age but I watched the Greenland shark video when it was new.
I loved his Videos and I returned since I remembered in 2015- early 17 when I loved this Type of Informational Videos. I loved sharks so much and now I remembered this show
@@BlueWorldTV i so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much love sharks And you doing a video from a sharks soooooooo thanks please say sharks i love sharks 😘😘😘🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Covid 19 got me willing to go feed sharks just to get out the house
this guy was my literal childhood. i only know so much about sea creatures and such because of his videos! wished youtube would push his content to a farther range; i'm sure children and grown-ups would find his content interesting and fun to watch!
Dang this guy gave me my love for the ocean as a kid. Hats off to ya Jonathan!
First marine video I ever watched. It inspired my love for sharks and ocean life in general. Thank you for so much nostalgia
This guy was my childhood, i used to be obsessed with sharks back in the day. I would love to go diving with them some day
I love how plump the stomach of a bull is. it helps me differentiate them from similar looking sharks, and also makes them a bit less intimidating. even though I do still think bulls are terrifying lol. I love all sharks, and don't fear any other sharks but because bulls can be so incredibly aggressive even when completely unprovoked I would rather stay away from them. though this video did change my perspective on them a little bit!
yes, sunset attacks happen nearly every summer in quite shallow waters in Qld, Australia. Your'e just standing there in knee deep water and boom, a nasty way to bleed out thats for sure
i mean bull shark attacks
@@pipfox7834 For real, I get that bull sharks are just curious but they seem to skip the fact that curiousity means a taste test lmfao
sharks have been my favourite animal since i was a child. seeing you feeding the "most dangerous shark in the world" was very amazing. since i never truely believed they attacked people for no reason.
tom irvine they only attack if they're intimidated. Clearly they don't just attack people because then shark diving wouldn't be a thing....
well, when you are a hungry shark anything looks like food. Bull sharks do attack in shallow water around late afternoon or early evening, especially near river mouth where water is disturbed and somewhat muddy. Australia probably has more issues with bullsharks than with Great Whites, speaking as a local.
experienced divers know to get out of the water when sharks start swimming in slow circles around them. Thats the warning. But surfers are attacked without warning, also.
I remember watching this video as a kid good ol days
2023 march , first time i watched his videos with my kids. Super interesting Thank you.
I’ve always loved diving with sharks, they are some of the most beautiful creatures in all the ocean!
I'm 11,and been here when I was 7,I love Jonathan! You guys are the best! I wish I can go to the sea(maybe the ocean!)and swim with animals from the sea or ocean! I love the sea and ocean so much! That I want to try these! Your really inspiring! Always supporting you guys!😊
stream case 143
wow, so you’re 16 now? still enjoy him?
It is never a good idea for a wild animal to associate people with food. Considering the fact that playa del Carmen is near Cancun where u have thousands of tourists bathing on a daily basis, it can be an invitation to disaster. You never want a wild animal to lose fear of people.
a couple of people feeding a shark now and again won't be enough to tame it.
It' s just not just a couple of people. It's everywhere now and a lot of people are doing it. I dove in Cozmel where divers had been fed the sharks. One day hungry lemon shark (usually very shy) came to us and acting very aggressively. After our dive master gave some fish, it was happy and swam away. Sharks are not stupid. They learn from experience. It's no good if they start to associate us with food.
humans are stupid and then they cry because something happen and blame the animal....
@@SnoweVR Its not about taming the sharks, its teaching them to look at people as a source of food. I've seen the results in multiple dive sites/locations across the Caribbean. Every place sharks had been repeatedly fed, they were coming closer to people and acting more aggressive than normal. Even just leaving dead lion fish on the reef was enough to change their behavior.
It's true, what if they see a regular diver and go up to them expecting food? If they have no food to offer, next option is their limbs
1:09 that shark be like "lucky humans they inside the cage"
They have " °-° " face the whole time, that's funny haha
i love the part where the sting ray were eating hahaha
Jonathan has done a great job and covers the New Jersey attacks of 1916 very well.
Thank you!
I remember watching this episode when I was little and man I can’t believe it been like 11 years ago! sweet nostalgia, thanks John for the memories 😊
I had the privilege of diving with Charlie now working for Dive Mike in playa del carmen. Thank you for changing my life forever!
This shark series is my favorite, its so fun to see the different species of shark and Jonathan's personality is just amazing ❤
It's kind of amazing that humans have created dedicated equipment specifically for diving underwater with large predators, lol! I also experienced a flash of joy when I immediately knew that the probe sample would be used for stable isotope analysis when Jonathan said it would tell them what the sharks ate! (I've been learning about stable isotope research in my graduate program.)
Unfortunatly the next diver won't have this equipment with disastrous consequences
So much nostalgia from when i was a kid! Johnathan Bird and Coyote Peterson both are what git me interested in animals! 😢
This is why I want to become a marine biologist! Your so close to getting one mill! Good luck! Thanks John!
Another awesome video, thank you to Jonathan and the crew! I can't get enough of this stuff. It's always amazing to watch humans and sea life interacting.
I dodge myself back when the shark comes near the camera😂😂😁😀
I swam with bullsharks off Jupiter coast, we were surrounded by at least 15. Feeding them like that, it was best shark swim. Now after being open water certified, I can't wait to go scuba diving with them. 😃🦈🦈
I heard that bull sharks are the most aggressive species and are responsible for most shark attacks. I thought maybe they were named bull sharks because they charge like a bull.
I recently went diving with phantom divers with Jorge . It was awesome to see bull sharks . The guys are Good !
Cool 😎
SHARKS ARE DANGEROUS THEY KILLED ME ONCE!
This show is so interesting to watch! It makes you want to go visit a aquarium to learn more about these water animals.
They're right about murky water being attributed to mistaken identity food source attacks. But Bulls sharks are aggressive none the less.
Teach the sharks to come to divers, and associate them with food. How about the next guy with no shark armor?
Smart ! ! !
Give the shark a little credit, they obviously swim by and get visual confirmation on the presence of fish before coming to get fed, and the only reason they come in the first place is the smell of wounded fish in the water.
"I'm starting to think these Sharks are wimps.."
..Yeeeaahhhh..sure
Decbabe85 meanwhile bull sharks are the most prone of the sharks to attack!
❤️ sharks, having said that a shark that swims in both fresh and salt water is pretty badass
This Video Really Inspired Me A Lot When I was really young I Rewatch this video sometimes to remember the coolest shark diving video that I used to watch when I was 6 Johnathan inspired me a lot to do scuba diving!! That was the first video I saw from Johnathan and ever since I’ve been watching his show and learning so much about diving!!
This channel is starting to be one of my favorites. And inspired me to go diving. Great work!
Jonathan bird = marine steve irwin
rmartino631 I'll take that as a compliment!
Do sharks attack a lot in the Atlantic Ocean?
BlueWorldTV
This guy gave childhood, I remember watching this video like 20 times a day on my moms phone. I hope he’s doing ok during lockdown
I'm going a little stir crazy like everyone else, but the light is at the end of the tunnel. The vaccine is coming!!
Outstanding! I just moved to Florida for the ocean and want to learn about, respect and have a fondness for my local bull sharks and not be paranoid. Thanks for this excellent video.
this channel is good for school classes that are in the ocean unit.
Riley Miller There are study guides, lesson plans and other teacher aids for use in the classroom on our website at www.blueworldTV.com!
BlueWorldTV Cool Im actually in school right now New Providence Elementry Im in 5th grade sharks are my favorite animal
BlueWorldTV I just subscribed to you
Hi +BlueWorldTV. ( or Jonathan! ). I'm absolutely terrified of being in the ocean, even just swimming with fish! I am watching this video, hoping to at least take my fear away of being in a tight aquarium... I started to watch the intro and nearly passed out, but I will watch and try! Im going to keep my feet up and bear through the " deep " video!
How come? Like what's the phobia name? I think the ocean is a beautiful place 😍🌊🌏🌎🌍💕
He was on shark week alot when I was a kid and I was so fascinated by his discoveries underwater
My husband and I watch this channel together. We love it! He scuba dives but I dont so it helps me to learn about his hobby! Thank you for your channel!!
That is awesome!
I'm perfectly fine on the beach, thank you!
Beautiful footage; my 4-year-old enjoyed watching it.
3:16 - "Hopefully filled with sharks, BIG SHARKS"
Me - hopefully filled with just water, NO SHARKS"
@2:45 , Extremely dangerous animals ... 1 second later THATS WHY I WAS SO EXITED xD that made me laugh
9:28 the water looks gorgeous
Thank you Jonathan, this is LOVELY, wish I can do something like this ONCE in my lifetime...my son is going to love this video !!
One channel that was with me during my shark obsession years ago, it’s nice to go back and watch this.
Sharks, I love sharks I study about sharks every day I can’t stop them. They’re the most interesting animal I’ve come across and cute sometimes.
Bull sharks are very common and they are named "cabeça chata" in Brazil. What means sth like "flat head shark". Also he is blamed to more than 60 shark incidents. Most of all fatal. The curiosity about these cases is that all off incidents took place in a single beach. These beach is named "Praia de boa viagem" and it is notorious and considered one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. There has a perfect environment for these sharks and a perfect environment for accidents, like a cloudy shallow warm water.
It’s no accident, sharks know there’s food (humans and otherwise) there so they come back to eat.
Bull sharks have high testosterone levels and are known for being aggressive but these ones seemed very relaxed.
Well they're being given free food so of course!
they are known as aggresive because of media but they are just curious animals
+Benny Barnuevo They really are aggressive, read scientific articles about these guys. But they're also very curious like you say.

they're so darn adorable
Always watching fullsupport my friend
You're a braver man than I could ever hope to be, Mr. Bird. I have a quick question, what's the scariest fish and or sea creature you've encountered so far in your career ?
I have heard that feeding sharks teaches them to associate people with food and could cause them to lose fear of humans and possibly attack more often. Any truth to this?
Unlikely, does feeding your dog make him more aggressive? The only cases where feeding has led to increased attacks in wild life is when you change the habitat of the animal by overfeeding them near civilization. i.e. all the people who used to feed alligators with chicken right in your backyard in Florida, this of course led to more attacks because more people will coming into contact with the animals
In general, with any animal you can think of, acting like prey or or like a threat will you get bitten else they will leave you be.
This video is fun ,informative and mind blowing.Bring more of these clips!
I just had to come back! I remember watching this on my mothers phone as a 9-10 year old. I’m turning 17 this year. Thank you for entertaining me 🥹
Welcome back!
awww sharks are beautiful!
I know and they are so misunderstood
Still a dangerous species. Never panic against them, they are fishes, so they have fish instincts. Reaction strikes happen when they sense lots of movement. This is one of the safest ways for them to identify edible species (as inedible ones generally don't bother running). However, stay too still and they will come check out with a nibbling bite as well (though not a reaction strike, still potentially dangerous).
Everyotheryoutuber Always be careful and respectful of any shark. They all can bite. Just like a dog can bite.
BlueWorldTV Yes, but what would you do if a huge swarm of bull sharks showed up? It happened with lemons while you were waiting for a tiger to show up (close call there too, as some tried to bite your camera). Bull sharks seem a little too dangerous to approach, and having them show up in large numbers is nightmare fuel!
turtles is not fishes, they're hard shelled animals that live on land and water!
Everyotheryoutuber Ok, so don't move, but also don't stay still. Gotcha.
Your are right man!!!!!💌💌💌💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💎💎💎💎😄😄💍💍💍💘💘💘😂😂😂😂❤️❤️☺️😙😙😊😊😊☺️❤️😍💘💋😄

I am so jealous of what you're doing in this video.
Me too HAHAH
Me too lol
Love watching these videos late at night when i'm in bed, so interested in the underwater world! Amazing again Jon.

I remember this video so well, this man made my entire childhood. Thank you,
That's incredible that they know you're feeding them and they keep coming around...
I love sharks there such beautiful creatures
I wonder if the perception that sharks are dangerous stems from that fact that we, as humans, feel very vulnerable in the water.
I would love to have a chance to swim with sharks but as I live I'm the north east of England, the only species found in the sea here are drunken Geordies and shopping trolleys.
David, you are near to one of the greatest shark spectacles in the world. The UK has several places (mostly in Scotland) where large aggregations of Basking sharks occur in the spring and summer. I hope to get over there in the not too distant future. Google it!
Oh really? That's awesome. It would be an incredible sight to see. Thank you for informing me. It looks like there is a dedicated website for organising trips in Scotland to dive with Basking Sharks.
David Wood My sister's fiancee lives in Lynemouth her and my brother in law want to go shark diving too for their anniversary.
Davied wood most sharks don't eat people
Ysa Tabuno yeah, I never said they all did mate
Amazing when you think these are the same shark biting legs etc off and attacking yet down below they seem so calm and harmless..... interesting
Sharks are so adorable, they are like these huge predators that rule the seas but then you see them interacting with people and they are like
"E-excuse me sir? Can I have a bite of that? It smells kinda nice... please don't hurt me :("
funny how when they try and feed them they sometimes turn away like "nu, I dun wanna" lol
Did you know that you are more likely to die from a vending machine attack than from a shark falling on you?
John ": What drugs are on? Go in the ocean have a long swim see if you
get crushed by a vending machine or bitten by a shark, I suggest the
waters around Mexico or Austrialia
Holy crap, you have no sense of humor.
Glen Olson Nah its true actually.
That's actually true. More people are killed every year by vending machines than sharks. In fact, lighting, stairs, bathtubs, bees, dogs, rhinos and icicles are all much more dangerous than sharks by statistics.
BlueWorldTV And that's because most people stay out of shark waters
I have watched jonathan since i was six for 8 yrs thanks for making my childhood jonathan
Thank you for watching!!!
11:30 haha laughted hard, that looks so relaxed :D
.1yi
Man that's amazing.. I would love to feed sharks like that.
AttilatheThrilla same

AttilatheThrilla hell yeah. Even though I would be terrified I would do it. IDK I'm a weirdo lol.

When the camera snapped a pic & he shot it with that spear gun, all I could think was "ur in trouble now!!" but it returned for more fish!! Amazing!!
I like the old vintage looking regulator and secondary hose on the open circuit set up. It almost looks like a rebreather set up
I’ve been watching you since I was 5 and now I’m 11
just dove with these guys yesterday. it was so exciting
Yea I live in Florida. Can wait to get to in the water again
some of these videos need to be re-uploaded in HD to be fully appreciated. you think you can ever get around to that?
Yeah, we really need to do that.
BlueWorldTV Please do! The majesty of these animals needs to be seen in 1080p! :D
I love sharks i read about them all the time
This guy inspire me to to trust the ocean and each time i watch his videos always makes the ocean amazing
You sound like Better Call Saul hehe
Somebody please put Jonathan Bird's Blue World on NYC prime time TV
Bigblue091 It's on WNYE in NYC.
Fun fact. The NJ shark attacks inspired the movie Jaws.
Why did they use a great white in the movie?
@@sharpemang Not sure! Probably just to fictionalize the story. Apparently, the attacks of 1916 were bull sharks and inspired the movie.
@@sharpemang maybe because great white are easier to identify in the ocean and it seems that there more of the great white than there are bull sharks I don't know I don't really know that much about sharks
@@RebelRoseJade Great Whites, Hammerheads and Whale Sharks are pretty rare according to some of the nature shows I was watching. Bull Sharks I know for a fact aren't rare and people always confuse them with Great Whites. I went Shark watching off the coast of Rhode Island and the fisherman spotted 4 Bull Sharks and kept saying people confuse them with great whites all the time.
Another fun fact. Sharks were considered non aggressive to humans, until the NJ shark attacks. The reports were then altered to say otherwise.
My childhood fav CZcamsr 🖤
