the big screen loves to paint these
beautiful majestic creatures is ravaging
these hell-bent on tearing you limb from
limb but that’s not entirely true
right 9 booth s’alright I understand why
truster shot I cried welcome to
watchmojo.com one by one in this
installment we’re dispelling five myths
about sharks that had us reaching for
our harpoons the ocean turned red spider
on the pound and the harem coming rip
you to pieces myth number five sharks
don’t get cancer sharks never get cancer
or go blind or show any loss of brain
activity as they age so once upon a time
a fellow by the name of William Lane
wrote a book titled sharks don’t get
cancer how shark cartilage could save
your life and we’ll give you one guess
what it was about
sure yes apparently sharks are such
tanks that not even disease can take
them down and why because of the
distribution of their freaky super
predator cartilage that makes them
totally immune to cancer except that’s
completely false it’s all a lie
researchers have debunked the myth as
far back as two thousand when John C
Harshberger and Gary Ostrander presented
their findings to the American Heart
Association and while the cancer myth
alone is troubling the fact remains that
approximately 200,000 sharks are
harvested each month for cartilage myth
number four eating shark fins is good
for your health I mean it’s really
many bizarre are we ready bizarre shark
fin soup has been a long-standing
tradition in Chinese cuisine in part due
to its association with certain health
benefits whether it’s for softening your
skin increasing your key or making life
in the bedroom all the better shark fin
soup is the way to go if you want to
stay healthy because actually takes up
nothing almost like sort of playing last
noodles I mean there are no actual
proven benefits for the soup and the
high mercury levels found in sharks is
likely going to do more damage than good
Oh we’ll leave you to make your own
decisions but to be clear it’s no myth
that humans do consume plenty of shark
fins yet there’s been far less interest
in fins over recent years which may be
due to high prices and supposed medical
benefits steeped in mythology rather
than actual science above all the
inherent cruelty is a serious cause of
concern as the shark population
continues to decline with each passing
year I watch in horror as a scalloped
hammerhead one of the most endangered
shark species has its fin sliced off
while still alive myth number three if a
shark stops moving it will die when life
get you down you know what you gotta do
I don’t know what you gotta do just keep
swimming just keep swimming just keep
swimming swimming swimming as if like a
sentient man-eating missile many people
believe that sharks have to constantly
move forward but in reality most sharks
are fully capable of resting in place
thanks to something called buccal
pumping out of the 400 types of shark
species approximately 24 are classified
as obligate ram ventilators which means
they’re physically incapable of buccal
pumping and must instead Ram water in
and out through perpetual motion of
course this is rare but even so many
people incorrectly associate this kind
of breathing with all sharks as a
collective whole myth number two sharks
cannot survive in fresh water then gets
safe to take a little dip in the river
to avoid these ferocious fishies you
thought wrong I’ve got a little snack
for you
yes most sharks are saltwater fish but
River sharks live in fresh or brackish
water while bull sharks are specially
adapted to survive in both salt and
freshwater together they can be found in
Asia Australia Africa and the Americas
while it’s not an ideal lifestyle for
these scary bastards it’s one that’s
possible nonetheless so let’s just play
it safe and stay out of any body of
water ever because they will find you
and they will eat you on that point
myth number one sharks eat humans whole
in 1975 jaws sank its teeth into the
world and the myth was born sharks will
find us in the ocean and eaters hole
what we are dealing with here is a
perfect engine an eating machine yet
with all due respect to the families and
friends of attack victims shots
reportedly only killed 23 people in
America over a 50-year span from 1959 to
2009 fish are friends not food provoked
or unprovoked sharks don’t actually kill
that many humans yet humans continue to
kill them and according to the
Washington Post the odds of being
attacked are about 11.5 million to one
ever tell me the odds and yes there are
sharks that specifically target humans
as opposed to a mistaken identity even
so it’s highly unlikely that sharks will
eat as whole of course it’s possible but
you’re far more likely to drown or get
done in by any of the other wonderful
creatures in that watery graveyard
unless the Sharks find a way out of the
ocean
so how many of these myths did you
believe will uh
both take it under advisement here’s
what Google searches are asking about
sharks – sharks have bones how do sharks
mate but why do sharks fellowships for
