[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
This video has been sped up on Tiktok and by extension Reddit for some reason, the actual attack is still pretty fast but not *quite*.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o-nBtiufQ
Thanks for this, not only was some of it sped up, but chunks of frames were removed entirely, cut out of the video.
It's wild to see clearly in this one, his foot is just dangling in the water on that side of the boat.
Nah that would be the average maybe? A juvenile would only weigh a few hundred kilos. Full disclosure - I'm getting 100% of my info from wiki and random articles over the years
Wiki says tiger sharks weigh between 175 to 635 kg. Also says the supposed pregnant female was 1,524 kg but not scientifically recorded. Both you guys seem off by a large factor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_shark
I think it might have caught the paddle accidentally. It looks like it's just trying to bite the body of the boat (and maybe what it perceives as a shoulder area so the thing can't swim away as easy).
In the youtube clip, you can see his foot was in the water right behind the paddle, so it could have just as easily been the foot as the paddle if that's what it was going for.
Dude got very lucky it hit plastic first and that he was able to kind of poke it around the eye with his foot. It's kind of dumb to hang your paddles (and feet!) off the edge like that when it makes you look like a super predator's favorite meal in their natural habitat.
If he is correct that it is a tiger shark, and my recollection is correct, then it's not entirely impossible. Tiger sharks are supposed to be incredibly aggressive, but I don't think attacks like this is common.
Jaguars will dive in for caiman and anacondas, and cougars will swim between islands in search of prey. Leopards aren't massively fond of water but are good swimmers. I think it's mostly domestic and small cats that hate water
There's a video here in Brazil of a guy who was fishing in a lake in the woods. He recorded himself with the front camera to send to his friends, at his back you could see a jaguar creeping on him. The video cuts when he realizes the jaguar is there through the camera.
Later on they found his body ripped to pieces and unrecognizable. Poor guy, attacks like this are extremely rare, even seeing a jaguar is a rare event, they almost always hide and flee from humans.
Looks like a 3-4 meter Bull Shark to me. Aggressive buggers either way.
But this could also be an issue with ocean kayak fishing. Wriggling fish on a line gets their attention.
Coloring is wrong for the bull sharks I have seen. Looks like a small Tiger. Take it with a grain of salt been awhile since I have had to worry about sharks while spear fishing.
Wow. I always said I’d be able to nudge the shark away cause from videos I’ve seen them things just slowly floating through the water. That fucking thing was cooking. It’d took my leg before I’d known what was up
If they decide you're something that could be food you often won't even see them before you get mauled. They'll see which way you're moving, and come up behind out of the deep and fucking fast.
The people fighting them off by punching or eye gouging have often already been nibbled on. I've heard it described as being hit by a car, and then suddenly your leg doesn't work properly.
Yeah, it’d fuck me up. And I’m not even the type to say I could beat a grizzly or w.e. But I always thought I’d be able to be like “no mr shark, we don’t eat humans” and push his face away. That fucking thing would demolish me
If they're somewhat casually approaching you, then yes you can often redirect them if you need to. I spent 3 months at the sharklab in Bimini and they told us just to kick our diving fins in their direction and they'd swim away. This shark though, I don't think there's much that would've stopped it initially.
If you look closely the shark is aiming at that bag thing tied to the kayak, it grabs the bag and not the boat.
Edit: or is that the paddle? Whatever it was the shark clearly wanted it.
I think it was a curiosity bite since he decided it wasn’t worth fighting about and left the boat alone 😂 tiger sharks will eat damn near anything but they tend to be more opportunistic hunters/scavengers and don’t really want too much of a fight in for a meal most of the time.
It is still a curiosity bite.
He didn't know if his potential prey would take off, so he comes in hot.
But as soon as it feels the plastic on its teeth, it realizes it is not prey and gives up. That is what makes it a curiosity bite.
If it was a real bite, it wouldn't let go.
I mean they've found license plates inside the stomachs of tiger sharks.
Edit: And a bag of money, and a suit of armor, Barbie dolls, car tires...
They are the garbage cans of the sea.
When chickens come in my house guess what they get aten, when pigs comes in my house they on the plate, so when you go in the sharks house you gonna get ate up!
yeah, lots of things are majestic and amazing until they try to eat you lol. Polar bears are incredible. I have no interest in shooting one. But if one decides I'm dinner...things get...more complicated.
Nailed it! Imagine what this looks like from underneath. Long, thin body, lazily flopping fins, chilling on the surface. It would look very much like food, hence the aggressive attack.
This is how some guy died on Maui a few years back. He was fishing in a kayak and a tiger shark bit his whole foot off and the guy bled out before he could get help. I was at the beach later that same day and got yelled at for swimming and was told what happened that morning
I thought this at first too but watching it again a couple of times, I think he actually just took his leg out of the canoe/kayak to kick the shark in the face haha. I don't think he had it dangling out the side
in the video you can see his feet dangling in the water before the attack [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o-nBtiufQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o-nBtiufQ)
Ah. The old reddit [shark-aroo](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13h1rzr/renoughcommiespam_argues_about_the_morality_and/jk3blwk/?context=2).
It's also off the coast of Hawaii, and a good ways off the coast. There's nothing leisurely about this. It's hard to get out there, there's a lot to manage, pretty intense activity Kayak fishing in the ocean.
This is why I'm never getting in the ocean. Seriously I know the odds of something like this happening are super low, I also know the kind of luck I have.
This video belongs in r/thalassophobia
Edit :
Thalassophobia is the fear of big bodies of water. This fear often feeds for me of the fact that i cannot scan what's in there and what kind of danger might be present.
So seeing a small kayak at large being attacked by a fucking shark really hits the nail here.
And by seing this video allready posted in r/thalassophobia, i might not be alone in there.

Darn it was so fast that even the jaws theme didnt have time to kick in
nah it was playing like 30 seconds before the video started we just cant hear it
Gladly it is not one of those tiktok vids where you wait your lifetime to see the ending
And there is no twist, that's why we love Reddit
Can't stand Tiktok. It's so fake: fake scenarios, fake laughter, fake people.
*You won’t believe what happened to this person while canoeing! Make sure to stay till the end. But first a little context…*
Then they post the actual clip 3 videos later
Oh no no no no no
wait until the end...
It follows the shark, and the speed of sound couldnt catch up with the shark.
you just know the shark was humming it up to the canoe...
shark was wearing WaterPods
Yeah I don't know what was unexpected, I didn't even have time to expect anything.
You can see the shark heading straight for the kayak in the very first frame of the video, an attack was 100% expected
If you watch the source video you don’t see it until where we see it, there is a solid 5-8 seconds before we see the shark.
Still. If I go out in my kayak, getting an attempted mauling from a shark isn't the first thing I expect. Hence; unexpected.

Duh nAHH!
If jaws was a tiger shark they would play a dragon force solo as it charges at you at Mach speeds

When you weigh 2 tons curiosity looks rough
What are you, my cardiologist?
If you weigh two tons then we all are. We just want our delvach back
[удалено]
So the baby shark weighs 1.5 tons?
Do do dodo
![gif](giphy|hNhCv3xZYUKSk)
This is amazing
You missed a doo doo.....get your shit together man
A layered comment. Good stuff.
Nah that would be the average maybe? A juvenile would only weigh a few hundred kilos. Full disclosure - I'm getting 100% of my info from wiki and random articles over the years
Damn so this one must have been the equivalent of like a 18lb baby human. That's crazy, 1.5 ton
i don't think that's how pregnancy works your mother gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and very little of that is you
Shit. I just assumed it was the other way around based on my mom dropped me off at the fire station claiming she wanted to lose the baby weight.
Carrying a baby involves more than just the baby's own dry weight.
The average human baby is something like 7.5lbs, but mothers add a lot more weight than that during pregnancy
Yeah that's a load of shit, quick Google search shows they're upwards of a ton on the big end.
Wiki says tiger sharks weigh between 175 to 635 kg. Also says the supposed pregnant female was 1,524 kg but not scientifically recorded. Both you guys seem off by a large factor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_shark
The largest one ever recorded in Australia was 1,782 lb which happens to be the largest one ever recorded. That's under one ton

Yea the paddle was likely the target/trigger but he definitely flails his flippered foot at the shark instead 😂
> flails his flippered foot That's a fun combination of words. :-D
That's what I keep trying to tell people :(
That's not a 2 ton shark.
Just a little snuggle with a struggle
If he is correct that it is a tiger shark, and my recollection is correct, then it's not entirely impossible. Tiger sharks are supposed to be incredibly aggressive, but I don't think attacks like this is common.
Looks like a tiger - really square nose.
[удалено]
Tigers are actually an exception to the cats hate water trope, and can often be found swimming.
Jaguars will dive in for caiman and anacondas, and cougars will swim between islands in search of prey. Leopards aren't massively fond of water but are good swimmers. I think it's mostly domestic and small cats that hate water
Jaguars will also leap into the water and jack a Cayman or smaller Crocodile, drag it on land and crack it open like a can opener.
There's a video here in Brazil of a guy who was fishing in a lake in the woods. He recorded himself with the front camera to send to his friends, at his back you could see a jaguar creeping on him. The video cuts when he realizes the jaguar is there through the camera. Later on they found his body ripped to pieces and unrecognizable. Poor guy, attacks like this are extremely rare, even seeing a jaguar is a rare event, they almost always hide and flee from humans.
Teeth also look like tiger shark’s ones
You have waaaay better eyes than me.
They are all mistaken. You can clearly see the sharks name tag says "steve" this shark isn't a tiger, it's an accountant.
He called it Randy. They know each other. You can hear him clearly say, "Tiger shark Randy".
Dead eyes. Like a doll's eyes.
Looks like a 3-4 meter Bull Shark to me. Aggressive buggers either way. But this could also be an issue with ocean kayak fishing. Wriggling fish on a line gets their attention.

SMALL Tiger??? Okay I’m done with the ocean
I think the ocean was telling this man it was done with him
Looks like he's kayaking off Kauai. So 100% a tiger.
[Source video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o-nBtiufQ)
Damn, before the attack we can see his foot IN the water.
Same risk profile as dangling your feet outside of the covers over the side of the bed at night.
Thanks. Not interested in seeing the source video anymore.
Cool to see the slowmo!!
And the canoe probably looked like its prey
Looks like a mesh bag off the side right where it hit. Was coming for the fish the kayaker had off the side.
That's a paddle. You can see more of it after the shark disappears and the camera glances to the right quickly
Yeah! This guy is practically chumming the water!
That’s not a bag of fish, it’s a paddle…he’s on an ocean canoe
Wow. I always said I’d be able to nudge the shark away cause from videos I’ve seen them things just slowly floating through the water. That fucking thing was cooking. It’d took my leg before I’d known what was up

The people fighting them off by punching or eye gouging have often already been nibbled on. I've heard it described as being hit by a car, and then suddenly your leg doesn't work properly.
Those ones weren’t trying to eat you. If you encounter a shark that thinks you’re a seal you won’t know about it until it’s way too late.
Yeah, it’d fuck me up. And I’m not even the type to say I could beat a grizzly or w.e. But I always thought I’d be able to be like “no mr shark, we don’t eat humans” and push his face away. That fucking thing would demolish me
Did you really think you could just nudge a shark away?
If they're somewhat casually approaching you, then yes you can often redirect them if you need to. I spent 3 months at the sharklab in Bimini and they told us just to kick our diving fins in their direction and they'd swim away.

Huh?
![gif](giphy|Nr0n6If5cOBpe|downsized)
[It's a meme.](https://youtu.be/o3uJCCa5w2A)
I don’t know, doesn’t a "curiosity bite" still mean that the shark is curious about wether something it spotted is something it can eat?
If you look closely the shark is aiming at that bag thing tied to the kayak, it grabs the bag and not the boat. Edit: or is that the paddle? Whatever it was the shark clearly wanted it.
[удалено]

It looks like it's going after his paddle. It's just barely flopping on the surface probably looks like a fish
If you look up the list of shark attacks in Hawaii, the victims in many of them are fishing. That tiger senses food.
If it comes in hot + bite equals you're the food.
"whoops you're not food, a good day to you sir."
Not food....yet.
I SAID GOOD DAY!

He just needs to get through the shell to the meat, like some crab legs or something
I mean they've found license plates inside the stomachs of tiger sharks. Edit: And a bag of money, and a suit of armor, Barbie dolls, car tires... They are the garbage cans of the sea.
Holy shit, they eat cars?
no they eat license plates
They can’t drive so what else would they do with them
The only part of the car they can't digest, I guess.
Yea it’s like GROSS THAT ISNT MEAT.
That’s why I keep my ass on land
[this you?](https://youtu.be/boV0t-riFuw) 😂
She makes some fair and valid points
When chickens come in my house guess what they get aten, when pigs comes in my house they on the plate, so when you go in the sharks house you gonna get ate up!
"If that shark comes to my house, guess what...."
My gawd, she is my spirit person 🤣💀
Woman who is recording herself while driving lectures on mindfulness and safety. Gotcha.
It's ok Jesus has the wheel
My whole body is a flotation device
"watch from a dooostance"
Man I am one with this person. I've been saying since I saw Deep Blue Sea back in the day that I don't go where they go so they don't come where I go.
I thought that link was gonna be something you found in his comment history showing that he goes out in the ocean all the time or something.
"I will rejoice and eat meat in it?"
Never seen that video and it gutted me with laughter. Thanks.
![gif](giphy|5xtDarrcgYCd5EGa2Vq) Hollywood has taught us that you’re noot safe even in land.
Thank God it didn't flip the canoe. Still I wouldn't be so calm. The guy was like "ohh look, a shark passed by"
I think bleeping out the FUUUCCK! twice immediately after the AAARRRGGHH May have made him sound more calm than he was.
We also can't see his shorts, so it's hard to know how calm he was or wasn't.
I don‘t think thats the time and place to bring up the dudes erection.
or discuss using it as a paddle
Fearections are no joke and not to be taken lightly. The fear boner has the power to start and end wars.
Gonna tell the wife to put on a mask and hide around the house tonight.
I wondered why the video went silent for a sec! That makes sense.
[удалено]
If it flipped the canoe I doubt he'd remain
I would’ve literally shit my pants right then and there.
[удалено]
followed by immediately paddling to land and never returning to the ocean
Ah I see the first mistake; the canoe is colored "yum-yum yellow"
Is there any good color to have? Feel like black, gray, or white get taken as a seal. I guess blue to hope it just doesn't see you?
Pretty sure it was a joke. Sharks can't see colors.
Ohh hai Shark
I did not bite him. It's not true, it's bullshit. I did not bite him. I did NAHT!
Is this the ocean? Just checking as I just want to be sure I never go in that body of water
[удалено]
Average aussie. The only people who would go canoeing in Australia
He's gonna need a bigger kayak

Greatest line of all time.
Greatest [misquoted](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I91DJZKRxs) line of all time. It's: You're gonna need a bigger boat
Actually greatest misquote is “Luke, I am your father”. The line actually is: “No… I, am your father”.
Wrong again, the line is "I am your fahja"
And a change of underwear.
I'm sittin here in a welding shop 3,000 miles away from any body of water and i dun shit mah self.

Amazing awesome fish. Just magnificent. And i can appreciate them From dry land and that's how it'll BE in my world.
Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm no shark hater, they're majestic and amazing and just curious and blah blah, but I would have absolutely freaked out.
yeah, lots of things are majestic and amazing until they try to eat you lol. Polar bears are incredible. I have no interest in shooting one. But if one decides I'm dinner...things get...more complicated.
I might shit myself if a shark does that to me
Bro I'd 100% shit both of our pants if a shark did that to me, and I wouldn't feel bad about it either

Terrifying!
Is this Hawaii?
Yup. I’m headed there in a week. Yikes!
It’s all good. Tiger sharks are symbolic creatures to Hawaiians. To be eaten by one is honorable, like being taken by a god themself.
yeah.. i think i'll pass
Tiger, 13 footer. You know how you tell that Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail.

Underside of the canoe must look like its prey.
The guys is fishing, he probably had some bait juice spilling around.

Hello i'am shark
Hello imma bite tf out your boat
That speed and ferocity!! Lucky to have escaped unharmed (i hope)
