• Sharks do show signs of aggression with body language so maybe someone who dives with seals might have an idea to their behavior moves from what is it to, is it a danger. Anyone able to share information?

• Most of these aren't really attacks. The whale breaching isn't an attack, the small boat was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The guy that had on chain mail on that was feeding sharks again not an attack when you're hand feeding the animal can get confused . The guy that got bit on the face by the nurse shark, not an attack, that clip is disceiving, that happen in key largo quite a few years back and the dive master/guide was handling theshark and decided to give it a kiss. When he went to kiss him he got bit on his face and lip. The clip from the leopard seal mouth also deceiving. That was a clip from a leopard seal trip and the seal was open mouthing towards the camera. Never actually bit or attacked anyone. The guy with his legs flapping and kicking around another glorified story. Anyone who dived with big animals knows the precautions and risks that come with it. Also the guy diving with tiger sharks wearing a bright yellow tank clearing had no idea what they were doing. There is a reason you don't wear colors especially yellow ( like the stripe of yellow on tuna) and the shark was trying to grab the tank. This story was written with the oh watch this it's attacks glorified by the media using other people's clips. Some divers are irresponsible and put themselves in a bad position getting themselves injured and doing harm to the animal, like bringing the bait so close to the cage with a great white causing him to get his nose jammed into the cage. They don't have a transmission and can't throw it into reverse. That's irresponsible dive operators. Have some common sense when interacting in the water. Most divers are sick and tired of the media hype-ing these stories. Shark diving for 6 years, never been "attacked" or mistaken for prey.

• just wanted to support karin's comments.

• Karin is very right. None of the octopus ones were attacking at all, just curious or startled. I've had an octopus attached to my arm and hand before, and it didn't hurt me in any way! The angel shark one looked like the drivers had startled and scared it from its hiding place, they are non aggressive too. Most of these are a case of stupid humans either overreacting or actually harassing the animals into reacting.
