Testing if Sharks Can Smell a Drop of Blood

Scientific proof Pixar sits on a throne of lies. Also, thanks to Discovery for putting my life in danger. Links for the build instructions: Sean’s Hodgin’s channel who did most of the heavy lifting for making the boxes: Pump animation made by the talented Jared Owens: Connor was the beast feeding the sharks underwater. He has some amazing footage for licensing and his own YouTube channel. YT: email: sharkmanconnor@ Insta: @sharkmanconnor Follow my marine biologist friend Luke Tipple on Instagram- More info that was promised- What is likely happening is that the sharks can smell the blood but it’s just not in a quantity that is interesting to them especially since they don’t love human blood that much (btw, I spoke with a marine biologist and mammal blood is all the same from a chemical marker stand point so cow blood is a suitable substitute for human blood). If I did the experiment again, I would want to test human blood vs. fish blood. This is the most definitive study done to date in a control lab environment on what is least and most interesting to them: The Biology of Sharks and Rays Peter A. Klimley and Steven Oerding; ISBN-13: 9780226442495. Particularly pages 134-140. Figure 6.7; Table 6.2 Thanks to these folks for providing some of the music in the video: Ponder - @Pondermusic Laura Shigihara - @supershigi Andrew Applepie - Blue Wednesday - MERCH- They are soft- Summary: I’ve always wanted to test if sharks can really smell a single drop of blood in the water from 1 mile away. So I went to the Bahamas in shark infested waters and set up an experiment to get to the bottom of things. MERCH- They are soft- PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING: ****************************************­ I make videos like this once a month all year long while supplies last: CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL: FACEBOOK: TWITTER: #!/MarkRober INSTAGRAM:
