Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:11,760
Unknown: sharks.
2
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:16,980
Just the very word fills most people with thread.
3
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:21,090
But here I am in a tank with this killing machine.
4
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:25,950
This is in happenstance. I'm now out on some dive in the Bahamas,
5
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:28,890
or even in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
6
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:32,370
I chose to get in this manmade aquarium
7
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:37,590
and face one of the most terror inducing creatures on the planet.
8
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:41,790
I'm here at CNM ocean world in Bangkok, Thailand,
9
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:44,460
with Planet scuba, getting ready
10
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,860
to swim with the sharks.
11
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:51,450
It's an up close and personal encounter most people would run from.
12
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:54,420
So how did I get here?
13
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:56,670
That's a really good question.
14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,190
I flew into Bangkok into the ultra modern so Juana Poom Airport.
15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,810
The name Juana Poom was chosen by His Majesty the King of Thailand.
16
00:01:07,470 --> 00:01:09,540
It means the golden land.
17
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:23,910
From the airport, it's a quick ride to the center of Bangkok.
18
00:01:26,850 --> 00:01:28,140
And in no time at all,
19
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:30,210
I find myself at my hotel
20
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:39,090
the view is all inspiring
21
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,580
as day turns into night.
22
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Bangkok is the ultimate shopper's paradise
23
00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:55,420
from the pack streets and alleys of Chinatown.
24
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920
To the tourists stands that line sukumvit road
25
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:02,230
you can find anything here
26
00:02:13,660 --> 00:02:17,620
the holy grail of Bangkok shopping lies at Siyam Paragon
27
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,150
with a gigantic 500,000 square meters of retail space.
28
00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:27,520
Known as the pride of Bangkok, this shopping complex rivals any in the world.
29
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:54,010
If you're looking for anything from a Prada bag, to a Maserati,
30
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:55,870
you can find it here.
31
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,540
But it is in the basement that we find one of the most unusual treasures.
32
00:03:31,180 --> 00:03:33,160
Zeon ocean world aquarium
33
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,530
Covering 10,000 square meters, the aquarium has a capacity
34
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:41,380
of more than 5 million liters of water.
35
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:48,490
This aquatic Wonderland exhibits over 30,000 Curious looking creatures
36
00:03:48,490 --> 00:03:52,540
from various depths and aquatic regions across the globe.
37
00:03:57,460 --> 00:04:01,750
Here you can see everything from these long legged Alaskan King grabs
38
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:07,360
to the slippery, treacherous moray eels.
39
00:04:17,050 --> 00:04:22,090
The Guitar fish certainly qualifies as one of the strangest fish I've ever seen.
40
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:28,480
With a sharp like tail and a front end it looks like it's been squashed.
41
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,750
Children certainly do seem to like him.
42
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:57,070
Perhaps it's because his mouth on his underbelly seems fixed
43
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:00,190
in an almost constant, cartoonish way.
44
00:05:09,250 --> 00:05:13,750
the ray like wings extended from its body in create a smooth and graceful
swimmer.
45
00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:17,290
Their main diet consists of scallops and shrimp
46
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:30,620
this coral ray has a broken tail and it's on the men.
47
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:35,150
Many rays of tails that have venomous spines
48
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:37,820
they can be used to inflict painful wounds.
49
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,470
In some rare and unusual cases, there have been human deaths
50
00:05:42,470 --> 00:05:44,420
associated with these deadly tails.
51
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Rays are found in all oceans.
52
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:52,520
Many are slow moving bottom dwellers.
53
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:56,480
Manta Rays feed on plankton and small animals,
54
00:05:56,780 --> 00:05:59,720
while others take various fishes or invertebrates.
55
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,380
Most give birth to live young
56
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:19,340
this subterranean tunnel affords a 360 degree view of the living sea
57
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:20,240
that surrounds you.
58
00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:40,700
Group is very widely inside some are very large fishes,
59
00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:43,670
attaining a length and weight of about two meters
60
00:06:44,090 --> 00:06:46,430
and about 225 kilograms
61
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,330
for a barley snapper, and hundreds of other species swim harmoniously around us.
62
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,680
In most dive trips, you never know how much you'll get to see
63
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,110
but here the variety and sheer numbers are absolutely all inspiring.
64
00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:08,720
It's truly a dive Wonderland
65
00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:15,260
Ever wonder what a fish sees when he looks at you outside the tank
66
00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:19,460
Well, this will give you an idea
67
00:07:25,130 --> 00:07:29,780
see On ocean world regularly does shows to both entertain and educate children.
68
00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:38,360
Small groups can come in and even spend the night
69
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,300
supervised by both the staff and their parents.
70
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,550
By creating an exciting environment, the children have both a great deal of fun
71
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:55,820
and remember valuable lessons about the underwater world.
72
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,890
But there is one inhabitant that has my full attention today.
73
00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:48,920
The ragged tooth sharks.
74
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,340
Their teeth are arranged in rows, which continually move forward like a conveyor
belt
75
00:08:55,340 --> 00:08:57,560
as the old ones dropped loose.
76
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,670
This is to ensure a constant supply of these sharp new teeth.
77
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:08,460
The sharks can be found in the Waters of the US, Japan,
78
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,980
Australia and South Africa
79
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,440
thet can reach a length of three to three and a half meters long,
80
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,210
almost 12 feet
81
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,900
they are active night feeders.
82
00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:36,030
And the sharks have the ability to gulp air and store in their stomach,
83
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:40,020
allowing them to maintain near neutral buoyancy,
84
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,080
which helps greatly in their nightly hunts.
85
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:53,940
While there are a few reports of unprovoked attacks against humans
86
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:55,950
by these deadly ocean predators,
87
00:09:56,670 --> 00:09:59,190
certainly don't want to put that to the test today.
88
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:13,140
Even knowing all these facts doesn't help to quell the chills and goosebumps,
89
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:16,980
that are raised as they silently glide past me
90
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,210
there are so many at first, they seem to stay away,
91
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,120
keep their distance, but the longer I'm in here in their territory,
92
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:50,550
their environment
93
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,480
I am becoming a source of curiosity.
94
00:11:01,770 --> 00:11:03,240
I am the outsider here,
95
00:11:04,170 --> 00:11:05,280
the interloper.
96
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:18,690
Words fail to describe the almost primal fear that these predators generate,
97
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:23,400
but also a sense of beauty and grace.
98
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,610
The first sharks lived more than 400 million years ago
99
00:11:39,210 --> 00:11:42,180
200 million years before the first dinosaurs.
100
00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:47,190
There are some amazing facts about sharks
101
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:57,930
more than two thirds of the size of a shark brain is used for the senses.
102
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
There are over 400 different species of sharks
103
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,680
a shark does not have one bone in its body.
104
00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:22,710
Its skeleton is made up of cartilage.
105
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:28,680
Cartilage is tough material similar to that that shapes your ear and the tip of
your nose.
106
00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:40,380
Also, sharks never get cancer.
107
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:43,170
Their cartilage is being studied
108
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,500
with the hope of delivering anti cancer drugs.
109
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:01,680
Sharks attack men more than women.
110
00:13:02,070 --> 00:13:04,770
No one seems to know why this is the case.
111
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,470
Most species of sharks can swim from 20 to 40 miles per hour.
112
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:20,500
A mako shark has been recorded at more than 60 miles per hour
113
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,750
due to the positioning of their eyes,
114
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:34,360
sharks can see almost as well behind them
115
00:13:34,540 --> 00:13:35,740
as they can in front.
116
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:47,800
More people are killed by beestings in any given year
117
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:49,600
than by shark attacks.
118
00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:02,050
The jaws of bigger sharks are about twice as powerful
119
00:14:02,110 --> 00:14:03,730
as the jaws of a lion.
120
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,700
baby sharks are born with sharp teeth
121
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:17,800
and the ability to hunt right away.
122
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:30,130
Sharks can see almost as well behind them as they can in front.
123
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,510
And sharks don't get cavities.
124
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,480
Probably because they're constantly shedding teeth.
125
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:46,420
Sharks have up to 40 to 45 teeth
126
00:14:46,690 --> 00:14:49,810
with up to seven rows of replacement teeth behind them.
127
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:06,430
When a front tooth breaks or falls out,
128
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:10,090
it takes only about one day for replacement
129
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,370
to move forward to the front row.
130
00:15:20,590 --> 00:15:24,580
Sharks can go through more than 30,000 teeth in a lifetime.
131
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,880
Newer teeth are always larger.
132
00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:34,270
So that's why sharks look scarier as they age.
133
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:47,380
Some very strange items have been found inside shark's stomachs,
134
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:52,270
including shoes, chairs, the rear half of a horse,
135
00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:55,960
a box of nails, a torpedo
136
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:59,950
drums and various bottles of wine
137
00:16:08,830 --> 00:16:11,020
sharks must swim constantly
138
00:16:11,140 --> 00:16:14,470
to force water through their mouths and over their gills.
139
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,420
They have keenly developed senses.
140
00:16:39,340 --> 00:16:41,470
Sharks have been called swimming noses
141
00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:44,290
because their sense of smell is so good.
142
00:16:58,090 --> 00:17:01,000
But hearing is probably the best of all of a shark senses.
143
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:07,390
Some sharks can hear prey in the water from 3000 feet away.
144
00:17:08,590 --> 00:17:11,320
They are better at detecting low frequency sounds,
145
00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:14,530
so they can't detect the high frequency sounds dolphins make.
146
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,410
The second most dangerous shark in the world. The tiger shark
147
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:41,470
is sometimes called the garbage can of the sea
148
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:45,940
because it will eat anything, including animal carcasses,
149
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,080
tin cans, car tires, and other garbage
150
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,050
one was even found having a chicken coop
151
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,830
with the remains of bones and feathers inside its stomach.
152
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,870
My encounter with these magnificent creatures is one that I will not soon
forget.
153
00:18:28,530 --> 00:18:31,320
I would like to thank CR motion world and planet scuba
154
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,330
for this amazing opportunity.
155
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,750
I leave this experience with a renewed dedication
156
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:39,900
for shark conservation and a healthy respect
157
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:42,720
for these ancient evolutionary Marvels
