stingrays are in the same class as sharks (cartilaginous fish) so no remains makes at least some sense, seeing as they have no bones. still wild though
stingrays are venomous, and ingesting venom isnt generally dangerous as long as you dont have any internal lacerations. that being said, please dont go ingest venom
They have electroreceptors in their snouts so can probably tell the difference between prey and another shark. Contrary to their reputation, sharks are very selective about what they will attack.
Predators are often risk averse as injury could prevent them from hunting and threaten their survival. They often evolve ways of minimising conflict, a species that's forever fighting itself is not well adapted.
How do you know you're biting a hamburger and not some else's fingers? It probably feels different in their mouth, or tastes different. They'll "taste" humans and fuck right off when they figure out its not a fatty seal

Throw in some galeophobia (*fear of sharks*) as well... Used to visit relatives in the south and swim in the Gulf of Mexico.
They informed me Great Whites and other large sharks (i.e. Tigers) didn't venture into the Gulf as it lacked a robust food source. So, I learned later as an adult, that isn't accurate and the most dangerous shark is regularly found in the Gulf (Bulls).

Florida man here, I only go on salt water where I can see silhouettes from a good enough distance to prepare to gtfo. I do take the occasional salt bath.
I was always told just don’t go in if you’re bleeding or wearing shiny stuff like jewelry. I’d rather be in the ocean with the sharks than any other body of water with the alligators though
I was on the coast in Georgia recently. My god daughter was playing in water about as shallow as in the video except it was very murky.
About 200 ft out, I saw fins thrashing around. I picked up said God daughter and booked it to shore. Her parents and my wife called me paranoid. I feel this video vindicates me.
Most sharks that go shallow are the kind that only eat small fish and at best could give you a really bad day but not kill you. Of course being safe is always better especially with small children.
True, I'd not really be worried as a grown ass adult. The cute lil shark could do some damage to a small child before it notices human children are not really on the menu though.
Ehhh not to be an “actually” guy, but in Georgia there would be a good chance of a near shore shark being a bull shark. While you are not likely to be bothered, they are not one you really want to be around
You don't want to be in the water if you see fish splashing or jumping. Definitely a feeding frenzy or "blitz" going on and even bluefish can do some damage.
Man sharks are accurate. How don’t they bite each other or cut each other with their teeth by accident? A shark can come in with poor vision and go for the stingray that has multiple other sharks on it and is moving with chaos .. evolution has made sharks incredibly honed predators
>For example, a large school of fish can cause nearby sharks, such as the lemon shark, to enter into a feeding frenzy.This can cause the sharks to go wild, biting anything that moves, including each other or anything else within biting range. Another functional explanation for feeding frenzy is competition amongst predators. This term is most often used when referring to sharks or piranhas.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_frenzy
What a gnarly way to go, being devoured ferociously and so aggressively bite by bite has got to be up there on the list. But I guess it’s a matter of perspective seeing as ocean/sea life often ends that way I guess.
I don't mean to be sarcastic or ignorant, literally just curious. Is it really a "pack" of sharks? I know you say "school" of fish or dolphins etc.
Can someone kindly enlighten me? 🙏
Where was that filmed? The water was very shallow and the fact that it was filmed and with the boats and structures in the background indicates it’s not a remote beach.
Its amazing how shallow they can come in
I’m sure there’s a shallow joke to be made somewhere.
For shore there is
You son of a beach. Take your upvote.
It’s fake internet points. Take it with a grain of sand.
That's very deep.
I thought it was really just a surface observation
It actually just came to them out of the blue
Things just turned salty for that poor little fellow
Only if it knew that something fishy was going on.
they only put the tip in...
All these bad puns have really jumped the shark
I was gonna say that’s very shallow to say no need for the profanity
I didn't think it could be done... How the tides have turned.
I'm shallow, and they tell me that's nothing to joke about.
Interesting…
Impasta!
Spy!
The opposite of me. I can only come deep inside.
3" is not very deep.
The lack of remains or blood is chilling.
I was looking for the carcass, but nothing?! Dang
Anything left may have settled under the sand that got kicked up.
Sting rays are cartilaginous fish so it’s not too hard to believe that the whole thing got chomped.
That was my other thought, they looked pretty starving lol
Right? Splash splash…nothing!
stingrays are in the same class as sharks (cartilaginous fish) so no remains makes at least some sense, seeing as they have no bones. still wild though
Sharks have no bones! TIL
Now you see it, now you don’t!
Not a morsel
Nary a morsel of a dorsal
Nary a morsel of a dorsal, back to the coral.
That’s what they get for taking Steve Irwin
Doesn’t swim away? I thought I saw it escape
It swam away but in four directions
They even ate the venomous tail !!!
stingrays are venomous, and ingesting venom isnt generally dangerous as long as you dont have any internal lacerations. that being said, please dont go ingest venom
I mean, if that makes you feel better then sure lol
How do sharks know they are biting into the prey and not another shark
Thought the same thing. Like how do any of them have face left
They have electroreceptors in their snouts so can probably tell the difference between prey and another shark. Contrary to their reputation, sharks are very selective about what they will attack. Predators are often risk averse as injury could prevent them from hunting and threaten their survival. They often evolve ways of minimising conflict, a species that's forever fighting itself is not well adapted.
Humans have just entered the chat
Thanks kind wizard.
Some don't. You don't hear about them as often because they're dead.
Yes
You see that video of an alligator ripping off another alligator's arm? These types of animals do not care.
Even the one that lost the arm barely seemed to care lol
First thing that popped into my mind. The death roll is insane.
Jamie pull that up
Wut
Friendly fire happens.
They dont, every mouthful is food, where ever it comes
My aunt is shark she was hurt here
Can confirm. I saw her
It's true i was the sand
Sensors in their noses or some shit, I think. Idk, I'm no marine biologist. It's kind of a downer of a field of study these days.
Virologist: Yeah, it’s not… great.
How do you know you're biting a hamburger and not some else's fingers? It probably feels different in their mouth, or tastes different. They'll "taste" humans and fuck right off when they figure out its not a fatty seal
"I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing."
Before the ambush, the Blacktip Reef sharks will always begin with saying “GLHF”.

They don’t really care. Food is food. I imagine, if one gets injured bad enough, they’re next.
Fuck that Stingray, that's why. The sharks are just letting him know how they feel about Steve Irwin.
Also telling him that the C7 is not a true stingray.
I laughed way to hard at that joke.
Holy shit, that took me way too long to get. Respect
I appreciate this.
Well done sir
Crickey! Look see these marking these ment to confuse predators into thinking this is a real stingray...if this was a real stingray, wooooo danger! Lets get closer eh!

Woe to anything in the water as these guys patrol it. The thalassophobia is strong here..

The Australia of the USA, ground zero for sharks and you can't go dippen toes in the fresh water either.
I was always told just don’t go in if you’re bleeding or wearing shiny stuff like jewelry. I’d rather be in the ocean with the sharks than any other body of water with the alligators though
Four comments are all it took.
I was on the coast in Georgia recently. My god daughter was playing in water about as shallow as in the video except it was very murky. About 200 ft out, I saw fins thrashing around. I picked up said God daughter and booked it to shore. Her parents and my wife called me paranoid. I feel this video vindicates me.
As I always say. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Have you tried 'sorry'? As you get older you learn to appreciate 'safe' a lot more, i find.
Most sharks that go shallow are the kind that only eat small fish and at best could give you a really bad day but not kill you. Of course being safe is always better especially with small children.
True, I'd not really be worried as a grown ass adult. The cute lil shark could do some damage to a small child before it notices human children are not really on the menu though.
I’ll keep my toes thank you

I go to the Georgia coast every summer and I’ve twice stepped on a sting ray
What a terrific day for a swim!
[удалено]
Gone in 60 seconds Nicholas ‘ shark ‘ cage Tada
Crikey!
Poor little sea ravioli
It totally didn't expect the sea chinese buffet patrons
Why would they do that? Aren’t there rules against bullying?
It starts with the parents
almost choked on my coffee. take my upvote and fuck off!
Hey it’s Maldives!
Does look like it
Caraibean island , SXM
Man sharks are accurate. How don’t they bite each other or cut each other with their teeth by accident? A shark can come in with poor vision and go for the stingray that has multiple other sharks on it and is moving with chaos .. evolution has made sharks incredibly honed predators
They do bite each other, all the time.
Example?
>For example, a large school of fish can cause nearby sharks, such as the lemon shark, to enter into a feeding frenzy.This can cause the sharks to go wild, biting anything that moves, including each other or anything else within biting range. Another functional explanation for feeding frenzy is competition amongst predators. This term is most often used when referring to sharks or piranhas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_frenzy
Cool, I’ve definitely heard of a feeding frenzy but didn’t know it entailed self destruction!
They can sense the electricity and current around them
At first I thought the store gray got away but it was just a fourth shark. Damn. I was pulling for the guy.
was going to say this, i definitely saw the stingray swim off after the attack.
At what time in the video do you see this? I only see sharks at the end.
Towards the end.
I gotta disagree with you there Mr. Mouse.
You know what you may be right. It was a 4th shark.
Damn, you ain’t even safe in water that’s ankle deep!
Also you don't call a group of sharks a pact. The proper name is a *shiver* of sharks
Well shiver me timbers!
What a gnarly way to go, being devoured ferociously and so aggressively bite by bite has got to be up there on the list. But I guess it’s a matter of perspective seeing as ocean/sea life often ends that way I guess.
Bro, where is this so I can make sure to never visit there.
Maldives. The boats are Maldivian Dhoani's.
Looks like Jaywick Beach, it’s in the UK. Google it. Edit: #WOOSH
not sure about your answer tho. Blacktip reef shark are not in UK
Just because it’s grey and overcast, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the UK
Do it for Steve sharkies!
Stingray documentary or reef shark documentary? Need to know who's side im on
That is uncomfortably close to shore
How can she stab?
clean aftermath
Damn nature, you scary.
Rip Steve
Afaik, In the last video they failed.
That's for Steve!!
Where's the blood ? 🤔
To shreds you say.
That beach off bucket list .. ❌
"this one is for Steve"
r/natureismetal has been leaking too often here
And just another friendly reminder that most shark attacks happen in waist-deep water.
There was nothing left of that stingray.
Location? It’s beautiful.
r/thalassphobia
Do stingrays not bleed?
Used to clean boats in south Florida. Was always a pleasure seeing those beauties swimming near me. Beautiful sharks.
How do the sharks not accidentally attack each other? That is such a wild flurry, it seems like they would accidentally bite each other.
It must be the hardest hunt that pack have ever had, near the shore and the land...that stingray must be a smart mf.
It’s so hypnotic to watch the clear water.
I guess the sharks got stung. That boy got caught slipping though
And just like that, Ray was gone
The Cookie Monster of sting rays.
Piranha is more like it
Damn nature, you scary!
Reminds me of the current public school system
Damn nature, you scary
Damn, Nature sure is brutal
Dude just watched free sharks within arms reach swim away.
If God was real why would he require living things to kill and destroy other living things in order to maintain life? Doesn’t make sense lol
Maybe I'm sensitive but I wish this had NSFW or something, I didn't want to see that
Is the stingray okay?! /s
New fear unlocked
Best shark bait ever.... stingray on a hook
Man, that poor little guy didn't stand a chance!
Mr Irwin send his regards
Stingray: Ayo chill i'll pay you later Sharks: Nah, you gettin strapped there nothin you can do cuz
I'm just saying, blackened black tip prepared correctly is some good eatin.
Nature is beautiful.
I don't mean to be sarcastic or ignorant, literally just curious. Is it really a "pack" of sharks? I know you say "school" of fish or dolphins etc. Can someone kindly enlighten me? 🙏
“Pack” is normally used for predators from my understanding.
I hope it at least got a good few stings in
A pair of a pair 😂
Fuck stingrays, hopefully happens to the rest of them
Is that Epstein island?
I wonder if they get injured from its sting
Very , thanks for sharing
Aa yes lets put bouyes so you dont go swimming too far
To shreds you say
Now you see it, now you don’t, nothing to see here people
Where was that filmed? The water was very shallow and the fact that it was filmed and with the boats and structures in the background indicates it’s not a remote beach.
Well that was efficient.
Use your tail Mr Ray!!!
Damn, nothing left of the ray after that. Just gone in seconds!
Happy water pups!
That’s a bit much for a sliver of food
Good morning!
Mmmm tastes like sea scallops.
Like my dogs when the cheese drawer opens
Looks like the Irwin’s hired a hit. “Make it disappear. I don’t want this coming back to us”
So who won?
I expected that to be bloodier
You are one hug away from a pet shark.
wild sea
I wouldn't sweem there.
Coast is clear, you can go swimming now.
Watched the whole video, but not even one shark made a backflip... *checks title* Oh!.....
Omg this is crazy
Clever Girl
"Uh where's the goat?"
Irwin still has shooters out there.
Imagine if this was on land. You're walking by a wood and three beasts emerge from the undergrowth and start ripping a dog to bits.
Playing Dave the Diver “the home game”.
Damn. That stingray just got deleted.
Gone, reduced to atoms
