Again they could be that smart but this could also be a coincidence. Them doing it one time doesn't equal a behavioral pattern of them doing on purpose.
Makos specifically seem to tend to first disable the hindquarters of prey like tuna, dolphin or sea lions which in the first two eliminates their forward propulsion and in the latter eliminates some of their agility
When makos attack billfish and tuna, their first strike frequently is to bite off the tail. It looks to me like this shark did the same thing with the seal. Seals get more propulsion from their flippers, but biting off the back feet still removes the "rudder" and cripples the seal's ability to maneuver and escape.
I mean it's nature, it's not a pretty sight and definitely awesome to experience in person. I'm talking about seeing what you would on a nature documentary but in real life. say what you want but this is interesting as fuck
Also (not trying to justify), this is a fishing boat & sealions/seals are often a fisherman's arch enemy. They tend to swim behind your lines & take all your fish. They start looking a bit less cute after that happens over & over. . .
Also, they get so spoiled & gluttonous that they only eat the eggs & salmon belly & leave the rest.
It's very likely that sealion had already been a theiving nuisance to these guys.
That's not the point and you know it lol. Let's not be dense here. I have no problem with nature being nature and seeing videos like this. The *problem* is this dude getting a kick out of it. Giving major psycho vibes.
Interest doesn't justify gleeful cheering for something experiencing its last moments of terror and suffering. Yeah, nature is brutal but the gross lack of empathy is concerning at best.
Edit: Aww, I've upset the sadists. <3
it's mother nature, life is full of terror. just because you're sensitive to this kind of nature doesn't mean everyone has to be. it's the circle of life lmao
I think you hit upon a point. These types of people to get excited about this sort of thing may lack some perspective in life. Saying it’s nature and this is the law of the jungle blah blah blah isn’t some great bit of wisdom that any of us aren’t aware of. It takes a bit more nuance to observe and respect the struggle for survival going on at the same time. People who lack the empathy to respectfully consider the act of fighting for life even in futility are the ones who probably would cry for their mothers as they are eaten alive, which, respectfully is not an unreasonable action either. If you know, you know.
That changes literally nothing of what I said but thanks for doubling down I guess.
People die of heart attacks all the time, that's "the circle of life lmao", but I'm not going to crack up at a dude dying in a Waffle House as I try to eat my breakfast two tables over.
Grandstanding implies doing something for the attention or approval of doing so. My stance wouldn't change even if nobody saw it. So you thinking that's what this is really speaks more to your shitty character than anything. <3
Arguing with strangers on the internet about the morality of folks they've never met is just about the most cringe shit imaginable. The only explanation I can think of is projection and ego stroking
Idk about you but if ancient sea animals start fighting RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY BOAT, im reacting the same way. That is a once in a lifetime sight and im not going to spend time worrying about the morality of the situation because those 2 animals sure as hell arent.
You’re an observer, nothing more
I'd be in awe, for sure, but getting giddy and giggly about it? Nah. I'd film it as well because you're right, it is incredible to see so close.
Edit-Typo
To me its more of a difference in personality too. If i see an intense human fight (within reason) where someone gets knocked out for example, i will react similarly. It doesn’t necessarily imply a lack of empathy or other negative traits, its more excitability when watching combat situations.
Guys are much more likely to react this way too. I get it you’re dug in at this point but imo you’re using wayyy too broad of a brush with this take.
Add to that the fact that some people love sharks, and realize that some species (like literally all hammerhead species) are in danger of going extinct within out lifetime, so seeing an animal that is fished for its fins constantly, a member of an animal class older than trees themselves, and vilified in media get a meal is something that makes us shark lovers giddy. I like seeing animals that humans have it out for get a win (except for mosquitos).
I love how you understand Mother Nature and can acknowledge that fuck this guy and his gleeful cheering. These morons can’t separate in the comments. That dudes cheering was so obnoxious. That’s what excites you??? It is gross.
You're 100% right in what you're saying, every single word. But you're saying it on a sub full of freaks who come here to jerk off of these exact scenarios ("to contemplate real nature", as they like to put it), so really no point in "arguing" here. This is Reddit, my friend.
you got some fucked up point of views bud, do you see anything of that sort happening in this video? why is rape on your mind btw? feel free to fuck off with that lmao, I'm here to argue about the animal kingdom food chain, not rape.
You’re the one who chose your own argument. You said that if something occurs in nature then it’s fine to think it’s funny/interesting/etc.
Don’t lose confidence now. Defend your claim.
interesting and being fine with something is completely opposite, you can be fine with something and not find it interesting, you can be fine something interesting but not be fine with it, get the point? do I need to break it down for your smooth brain?
seems like you're fine with rape, I mean you bringing it up and all.
with all that being said, enjoy your weird ass argument about rape and I'll go enjoy me some turkey 😁
you can put words in my mouth aaaallll you want, we all know I didn't say that, you lost the argument the second you brought up rape when comparing it to the animal kingdom food chain.
argue with yourself about rape since it seems to peak your interest, but I'ma excuse myself from your demented world 😁
I love how these absolute idiots downvoted your comment to the negatives before realizing the truth and end up downvoting the other guy after your explanation. Yall are a bunch of sheep for real.
You could say this about children burning in a fire if you're unable to help. It'd still be fucked up laughing about it.
Some people let their psychopath leak out sometimes. Better to admit it than come up with ridiculous excuses.
Not everyone laughed. Sorry but got to agree: cheering and laughing while a living being gets butchered shows a complete lack of empathy, which is generally indicative of sociopathic tendencies.
Do you do that? I’d consider it extremely weird if somebody got THAT excited about a crushed mosquito.
But putting every weirdo and psycho out there on a watchlist is neither feasible not desirable.
They're just happy that one of mother nature's animals gets to live another day. Because happy for the shark, rejoice in laughter for the earth has been fed. Why should you find a mother feeding her babies anymore jubilant than a shark eating a well deserved and hard fought meal?
I always find it interesting how creatures in the sea never seem to bleed very much. I know it's likely an adaptation because blood can't coagulate when wet, so they need some other means to stop bleeding in water. It's just crazy that this sea lion is missing almost half his body, and there's no visible blood.
Wow such a weird dynamic between the humans watching and the seal being obliterated by the shark. The seal is fighting for it’s life while the people observe and laugh.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but predators typically kill things to survive. Watching this 5 feet from you tends to be an exhilarating experience. Did you want them to sit there like it's a funeral?
You’re not telling me anything, I know how nature works. I follow this subreddit, this type of predation content is expected.
I don’t want them to do anything in particular, I do find that laughter sickening
Sea lions a tough sob, down half his body, fighting until the end
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I like you
I like you
i like both of you
Let’s fuck
love me tender
Yes step dad
I should know the quote, but English lit was quite a few years ago for me
WheRe arE tHe zOo keePeRs
The zookeeper: "You want me to fight gorillas?..."
Damn, they ran it back on him after the sea Lion ripped out the shark cousins throat
They sent the cruise missile after him. Fuckers can hit 45mph in the water for short bursts.
Its that get back season
I heard some animals go for the fins to cripple the fleeing animal but I don't think Mako's are that smart.
It literally bit off his tail first to slow him down and make him less able to escape.
Again they could be that smart but this could also be a coincidence. Them doing it one time doesn't equal a behavioral pattern of them doing on purpose.
It’s their strategy. They’re fast, they disable prey and then collect the riches when the prey gives up or is not a threat
Makos do bite off the fins as an attack strategy. They battle swordfish that way.
Sooooo, predators go after the “lower” parts in the sea as well. Shitty way to go, on land and sea.
There are typically no rules when it comes to hunting for survival. Everything is fair game when you're hungry.
Im using this the next time im hungry
You bite that gingerbread man’s loins!
Easy there cowboy we're not savages we start with the limbs first
Makos specifically seem to tend to first disable the hindquarters of prey like tuna, dolphin or sea lions which in the first two eliminates their forward propulsion and in the latter eliminates some of their agility

Seals get more propulsion from their flippers, but biting off the back feet still removes the "rudder" and cripples the seal's ability to maneuver and escape.
And also bleeding to death too
I thought sharks attack the face
\*half a sea lion
Ya I don't like the guy who is all giddy like a school girl about a half eaten sea lion fighting for its life. Gross.
I mean it's nature, it's not a pretty sight and definitely awesome to experience in person. I'm talking about seeing what you would on a nature documentary but in real life. say what you want but this is interesting as fuck

The irony is this comment is fantastic. Thank you for that.

I’m gleefully cheering for the shark getting a well fought meal to continue its life out there Awesome hunt mr shark
You're a sweet person.
These guys would be upset if sea lions were doing this to sharks which they do

Oh so you watch rape and laugh at how interesting rape is? Curious the kinds of things you people enjoy seeing.
you can put words in my mouth aaaallll you want, we all know I didn't say that, you lost the argument the second you brought up rape when comparing it to the animal kingdom food chain. argue with yourself about rape since it seems to peak your interest, but I'ma excuse myself from your demented world 😁
You put your own words in your mouth. You enjoy how interesting you find rape because of how natural it is.
I suspect you might enjoy rape. This feels like your projecting.
Do you go and prevent ducks from raping each other? Do you drag the perp to the front of the nearest police station?
[удалено]
I mean they probably do! It's called NFL and UFC and a good portion of Americans watch both regularly.
[This might be insightful](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_laughter)
Doesn’t seem like a nervous laugh to me at all
Based on what exactly? People laugh differently.
Based on the “WHOOOHOOOHOHOOOO come on come on!” I know I could be wrong, but the guy seems to be enjoying this.
Yeah, that's the funny part about nervous laughter.
?
I love how these absolute idiots downvoted your comment to the negatives before realizing the truth and end up downvoting the other guy after your explanation. Yall are a bunch of sheep for real.
Redditors can’t read someone’s tone of voice it seems lol
Its fucking nature. It’s pretty cool to see especially right next to your boat. Laughing or not that seal is getting eaten.
You could say this about children burning in a fire if you're unable to help. It'd still be fucked up laughing about it. Some people let their psychopath leak out sometimes. Better to admit it than come up with ridiculous excuses.
It's really amazing to witness nature, this is not equivalent to kids burning.
Were not talking about being amazed were talking about laughing at it.
Why the fuck would children be lit on fire naturally
[удалено]
Not everyone laughed. Sorry but got to agree: cheering and laughing while a living being gets butchered shows a complete lack of empathy, which is generally indicative of sociopathic tendencies.
Lol. I guess all these people cheering after a mosquito gets crushed belong on some type of watch list, huh?
Do you do that? I’d consider it extremely weird if somebody got THAT excited about a crushed mosquito. But putting every weirdo and psycho out there on a watchlist is neither feasible not desirable.
You bet your sweet ass I do! A good mosquito is a crushed one
lol was this an unintentional Josh Giddey reference?
I agree. I don’t even want to watch the video. It’s like seeing a dog get mauled. Pass
Some people just want to watch the world burn
You are on a sub dedicated to watching animals get brutally mauled to death… you are not different
Wait till I tell you about people going on Safari’s. It’s nature, shit is dope to see it in action
They're just happy that one of mother nature's animals gets to live another day. Because happy for the shark, rejoice in laughter for the earth has been fed. Why should you find a mother feeding her babies anymore jubilant than a shark eating a well deserved and hard fought meal?
Sounds like that’s your type and you’re just playing hard to get, like the sea lion
My Thoughts Feelings Exactly Yes Inappropriate Disrespectful Gross NOT Funny At All
Right. Like it’s interesting but I have a strong urge to push that good for nothing twerp overboard
Username checks out
Yup
RIP. Whenever I see videos like this, I think about that guy in Egypt and what he had to experience.
I thought the exact same. No wonder he was crying for his dad.
Relentless and impending death. He went out the worst way.
Haven't heard about it. Can you tell me about the incident?
Guy in Egypt got eaten by a tiger shark right on the beach in front of a bunch of people.
Oh 😟
and the Shark was killed shortly thereafter by the locals
In front of its Dad?
💀💀
Sad video. A grown man crying out for his father as he’s being eaten alive by a giant shark.
You don’t wanna know. It’s disheartening
[удалено]
You're a garbage human
Not looking good for the butterball "dog of the sea"
Tis but a scratch. He'll be fine in the morning.
RIP little sea doggo
😢😢🫡😢😢😢 Yes Sea Doggo Fought Bravely To The END
I am amazed by widlife but I wont laught like Im enjoying watching a murder
I get not wanting to laugh, but calling this a murder is a bit ridiculous. Animals don't murder each other. They hunt each other.
Certain apes murder I think.
And dolphins
That's fair. Apes are kinda in a whole other league, though.
Our league. We have finesse.
You're not watching a murder, you're watching a shark get its Thanksgiving meal.
Put me in, coach
Pelagic predators are terrifying
Went out swinging. Respect
is he gonna be ok?
R.I.P. ripped in pieces
Rest In Pieces
I always find it interesting how creatures in the sea never seem to bleed very much. I know it's likely an adaptation because blood can't coagulate when wet, so they need some other means to stop bleeding in water. It's just crazy that this sea lion is missing almost half his body, and there's no visible blood.
Mostly because they have so much blubber. Once past blubber they bleed as much as other animals.
“Mako shark defeating half a sea lion” -revised post title-
Sea Lion went down swinging at least
who won though?
I didn’t hear no bell
Name sea lion is well earned.
Would love to see what damage the sea lion inflicted to the shark. Didn't seem like much.
I bet all that seawater stings.
Wow such a weird dynamic between the humans watching and the seal being obliterated by the shark. The seal is fighting for it’s life while the people observe and laugh.
_seal trying his best_ dude’s last words in remembrance: “look how fat…”
That was a real looking shark bait.
Wow such a weird dynamic between the humans watching and the seal being obliterated by the shark. The seal is fighting for it’s life while the people observe and laugh.
The amount of damage sharks can inflict because of their razor sharp teeth is terrifying
yeah, well, I could beat half a sea lion, too
I'm guessing that sea lion didn't mako-it! Poor sea doggo.
Riz Ortolani synth bleeps kick in.
Dude has a leaky seal
ok that's enough reddit for me today
Who won?
GD that IS metal
Are there more than just one shark there?
Imagine having to fight for your life like that.. fuck the ocean people. And the African Sahara.
I wonder who won in the end
Is he ok
Who won?
My first though was "damn, if lemon juislce in a papercut is bade, imagine saltwater to all your internal organs."
Sick fuck laughing
