5 Big Sharks That Rule the Sea | Nat Geo Wild

You're probably familiar with the great white shark, but how much do you know about these other big sharks: blacktip, tiger, sand tiger, galapagos, and whale? Those are just five of roughly 500 shark species found in our oceans. And they're doing their part to keep the oceans healthy by keeping fish populations in check.

[kimarchana]

Hats off to those cameramans taking or recording these footages!!!!

[bananabuttons]

I love when they have little fish buddies underneath them.

[commandershepardmessiah]

I'm surprise they didn't show basking shark, or Greenland shark

[aves]

Whale sharks are so beautiful, peaceful giants that swim in the oceans

[gabyslittlegarden]

Great video! I’m obsessed with sharks😍 One thing though: it would’ve been cool to know how big each shark gets, considering it’s a video about big sharks

[ellewoods]

I LOVE WHALE SHARKS & WHALES too .🐋🐳💕

[maanbustamante]

i was grinning the whole time when they were having a feeding frenzy ☺️😁😆

[aprilskies]

Amazing footage. So sad that beautiful predators like these are at risk. When will all the killing stop....

[ArunKumar-]

Whale sharks are the most beautiful ones 😘
They are so calm and adorable 🤩

[TheMagicStool]

Really good video, but I would have liked to know the sizes of these sharks to get a comparison.

[louckykoneko]

those are some really gorgeous sharks! I knew the tiger shark and whale shark but not the other ones.
question, is the Blacktip Shark the same as the Blacktip Reef Shark?

[luckpress]

This made me wanna play hungry shark evolution

[spyzento]

When I hear the word shark all I think about is

SHARK POG

[adnanmustafa]

I like how sharks look like vip fishes with many other fish always swimming with them

[Fiona_P_]

They are indeed very amazing and interesting creatures. Also very much misunderstood. And people have to learn how to live in harmony with these creatures. Sharks are a barometer of how healthy an ocean or water way is. You hunt and kill Sharks, decimating each one of them to your own eventual demise 🦈💙🌊

[squidwardshouse]

Pretty sure 'Big' was kinda clickbait-y Only the Whale and Tiger would be classed as big sharks here. No Basking Shark? No Bull Shark? No Great Hammerhead?

[abelmantor]

What's a shark's favorite game?

Swallow the leader

[jenniferlynncalogero]

My favorite sharks are whale sharks. They eat plankton!🥰😇💚💖💝👐
