Great White Shark redirect

620 views

So, after watching a cameraman redirect a GWS with his hand on another sub, I am curious about how this works. Did he boop it hard or simply push it away? How do we think a shark psychologically perceives this in comparison to edible prey in order to not make an exploratory bite? Does this work on all sharks and does a shark’s hunger level impact the effectiveness of the camera man’s actions?

no real force at all. its like if a dog is sniffing your leg, just pushing its head away weakly. if it was going to try to attack you, it would.
