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.

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.

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:

MERCH-

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.

Men : why do women live longer than us 🤔

Shark 1:Can we eat him

Human: “lets see if sharks can smell blood”

Sharks: “lets not please ✋🏾, we’re trying to be professional for the camera here “

Other possible extraneous variables:
-these sharks learned not to bother with these boards after the first experiment
-other shark types react differently
-these sharks had just eaten

-no boat to distract may put a higher interest in a lone bleeding person at sea

I admired the clarity of seawater. Absolutely, stunning !!! Also, video quality and quality smelling production as well.

This is what school expects us to do for our science projects.

Sharks with human blood: no reaction
Sharks with camera: The hunt is on.

It’d be super interesting to repeat this experiment off the beach (anchoring boards so they don’t drift back inland) without the presence of a distracting boat, where people are most concerned about shark attacks and less likely to be as shark informed as the ocean divers. Though I imagine at places like the Bahamas the scenario Mark tested on would be more common.

Also would love to see a comparison between human vs prey blood (eg tuna, seal etc). The latter would be much harder to obtain ethically.
