Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:13,709
The
southern coastline of Africa
2
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:16,842
is an inter-tidal ecosystem
flush with bizarre looking
3
00:00:16,973 --> 00:00:18,670
ocean creatures.
4
00:00:18,801 --> 00:00:22,674
From buggy-eyed toadfish
to slippery octopus,
5
00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:25,547
these were animal oddities
that I really had to work
6
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,940
hard to get my hands on.
7
00:00:28,071 --> 00:00:29,159
Got it!
Yes!
8
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:30,160
Yeah!
- Wow!
9
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:31,857
What a scoop!
10
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:34,382
The crew and I spent the morning
exploring isolated pockets
11
00:00:34,512 --> 00:00:37,385
of water, and in the
process, captured
12
00:00:37,515 --> 00:00:41,128
on camera one of our most epic
"Beyond the Tide" episodes.
13
00:00:41,258 --> 00:00:42,825
Oh my gosh, there's an octopus.
14
00:00:42,955 --> 00:00:44,218
Nobody move.
15
00:00:44,348 --> 00:00:45,349
Do You see him?
You see him?
16
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,047
Where?
17
00:00:47,177 --> 00:00:48,309
Right there,
right there, right there!
18
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:49,223
There he is, there he is!
You got him!
19
00:00:49,353 --> 00:00:50,267
Got it!
Yes!
20
00:00:50,398 --> 00:00:50,789
Yes!
Woo!
21
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,486
Woo!
22
00:00:51,616 --> 00:00:53,270
How about that?
23
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:55,446
After wrapping up the scene
and releasing the octopus back
24
00:00:55,577 --> 00:00:57,796
into its watery
abyss, we started
25
00:00:57,927 --> 00:01:00,147
to film some
environmental b-roll shots
26
00:01:00,277 --> 00:01:03,933
and happened upon a scenario I
have dreamed of since starting
27
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,675
this aquatic series.
28
00:01:06,805 --> 00:01:09,547
Oh my gosh, a shark.
29
00:01:09,678 --> 00:01:10,809
Oh my gosh, a shark.
30
00:01:14,422 --> 00:01:16,206
Get Mario.
31
00:01:16,337 --> 00:01:17,642
Oh, ho, ho, ho!
32
00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:18,643
I can't believe that.
33
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:19,862
I'm like-- this is so cool.
34
00:01:19,992 --> 00:01:21,820
I look over, I'm like, a shark!
35
00:01:21,951 --> 00:01:23,996
The camera
team is just returning.
36
00:01:24,127 --> 00:01:26,216
I think the goal here is going
to be to catch the shark,
37
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:27,478
look at it very quickly--
38
00:01:31,265 --> 00:01:33,005
We definitely don't want
to stress it out or try
39
00:01:33,136 --> 00:01:34,703
to handle it for too long.
40
00:01:34,833 --> 00:01:36,487
But this is so cool.
41
00:01:36,618 --> 00:01:39,316
A shark in a tide pool.
42
00:01:39,447 --> 00:01:41,666
All right, guys, so
this is super crazy.
43
00:01:41,797 --> 00:01:44,669
We just got finished
filming with an octopus,
44
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,238
and there is a shark in
this pocket of water!
45
00:01:48,369 --> 00:01:50,893
That is a spotted gully shark.
46
00:01:51,023 --> 00:01:54,070
Now, they are bottom-feeders,
and unlike great white sharks
47
00:01:54,201 --> 00:01:57,552
or tiger sharks, they only have
small little blunted teeth.
48
00:01:57,682 --> 00:02:01,512
So it should be OK for me
to gently pick up the shark.
49
00:02:01,643 --> 00:02:02,383
Are you guys ready?
50
00:02:02,513 --> 00:02:03,775
Yep.
51
00:02:03,906 --> 00:02:05,995
I have no idea how
fast it's going to move.
52
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,692
I'm going to actually
not use my net
53
00:02:07,823 --> 00:02:11,087
and try to grab it by
the back of the tail.
54
00:02:11,218 --> 00:02:14,003
They have very
sandpaper-like skin,
55
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:15,744
so I should be able to
grip on to it, no problem.
56
00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:16,788
Heads up.
57
00:02:21,663 --> 00:02:23,621
OK, I got a hold of it there.
58
00:02:23,752 --> 00:02:26,363
Bringing it up.
59
00:02:26,494 --> 00:02:27,625
Hey, buddy.
60
00:02:27,756 --> 00:02:28,757
Look at that!
61
00:02:28,887 --> 00:02:29,975
Whoa!
62
00:02:30,106 --> 00:02:32,674
That is the
first shark we have
63
00:02:32,804 --> 00:02:37,766
ever caught or featured on the
"Brave Wilderness" channel.
64
00:02:37,896 --> 00:02:40,769
What a beautiful fish!
65
00:02:40,899 --> 00:02:43,989
The way that I can tell this
is a spotted gully shark,
66
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,556
see all those black spots?
67
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:47,079
Pretty obvious, right?
68
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:51,475
And they usually have a
very light-colored belly.
69
00:02:51,606 --> 00:02:55,262
They also have very distinct
triangular pectoral fins,
70
00:02:55,392 --> 00:02:59,483
very distinct triangular dorsal
fins, and then a second bin
71
00:02:59,614 --> 00:03:01,833
on the rear part of its
tail that's almost as
72
00:03:01,964 --> 00:03:04,401
tall as the actual dorsal fin.
73
00:03:04,532 --> 00:03:05,794
All right, I'm going
to dunk it back down.
74
00:03:05,924 --> 00:03:07,752
It's being very calm.
75
00:03:07,883 --> 00:03:10,625
That is so cool.
76
00:03:10,755 --> 00:03:13,671
The spotted gully shark is
a species of hound shark
77
00:03:13,802 --> 00:03:17,327
they can often be found
in shallow inshore waters.
78
00:03:17,458 --> 00:03:19,808
They favor sandy tide
pools, such as the ones
79
00:03:19,938 --> 00:03:22,767
we have been exploring, and
occasionally find themselves
80
00:03:22,898 --> 00:03:26,206
marooned when the tide drops.
81
00:03:26,336 --> 00:03:29,513
When you run your fingers in
one direction across the skin,
82
00:03:29,644 --> 00:03:30,688
it's smooth.
83
00:03:30,819 --> 00:03:32,864
But if you go in
reverse direction,
84
00:03:32,995 --> 00:03:34,605
it feels just like sandpaper.
85
00:03:34,736 --> 00:03:36,172
Go ahead, Mark, pet the shark.
86
00:03:36,303 --> 00:03:37,086
Smooth.
87
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:38,261
Go one way.
88
00:03:38,392 --> 00:03:39,175
Wow.
89
00:03:39,306 --> 00:03:40,350
Right?
90
00:03:40,481 --> 00:03:41,699
Very rough.
91
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:44,267
Like a fine grit
sandpaper right there.
92
00:03:44,398 --> 00:03:50,534
Now, this shark has one, two,
three, four, five gill slits.
93
00:03:50,665 --> 00:03:52,710
Now, when we're talking about
the teeth of this creature,
94
00:03:52,841 --> 00:03:54,930
it's almost like
a cheese grater.
95
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:58,412
What they feed on are small
crustaceans and other animals
96
00:03:58,542 --> 00:04:00,718
on the basin of the ocean.
97
00:04:00,849 --> 00:04:02,459
And actually, this is one
of those rare occasions
98
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:06,681
where I could probably be bitten
by a shark and be just fine.
99
00:04:06,811 --> 00:04:09,684
They oftentimes will
hunt in tide pools
100
00:04:09,814 --> 00:04:12,382
just sifting along the
bottom for small crabs
101
00:04:12,513 --> 00:04:13,731
and other mollusks.
102
00:04:13,862 --> 00:04:15,124
Let me dip it again.
103
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:16,560
Woo!
104
00:04:16,691 --> 00:04:18,867
That is so cool being
able to handle a shark.
105
00:04:18,997 --> 00:04:19,911
OK, buddy.
106
00:04:20,042 --> 00:04:21,391
There you go, there you go.
107
00:04:21,522 --> 00:04:23,959
At nearly three feet
in length, this shark
108
00:04:24,089 --> 00:04:25,656
is considered a juvenile.
109
00:04:25,787 --> 00:04:28,137
Yet, they can reach
lengths of nearly six feet,
110
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,574
and are primarily
active at night,
111
00:04:30,705 --> 00:04:34,926
feeding on crustaceans,
small fish, and cephalopods,
112
00:04:35,057 --> 00:04:37,146
such as octopuses.
113
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:39,757
Bring the shark back up here.
114
00:04:39,888 --> 00:04:41,281
Man, a
tide pool shark.
115
00:04:41,411 --> 00:04:43,370
So cool, right?
116
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,893
Now, you may be
saying to yourselves,
117
00:04:45,023 --> 00:04:46,677
Coyote, is this
shark permanently
118
00:04:46,808 --> 00:04:48,462
marooned in this tide pool?
119
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:51,639
No, actually, the tide is on
its way back in right now.
120
00:04:51,769 --> 00:04:53,554
Once the water gets
deep enough, it
121
00:04:53,684 --> 00:04:56,818
will be able to move to the
next pocket or out in the ocean
122
00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:58,776
if it chooses to.
123
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:02,519
But what a cool opportunity
for us to get a shark up
124
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:05,000
close for the cameras.
125
00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:07,394
Talk about topping off
a day of tide-pooling
126
00:05:07,524 --> 00:05:08,917
here in South Africa.
127
00:05:09,047 --> 00:05:10,527
I'm Coyote Peterson.
128
00:05:10,658 --> 00:05:12,834
Be brave.
129
00:05:12,964 --> 00:05:14,575
Stay wild.
130
00:05:14,705 --> 00:05:16,403
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
131
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:17,665
All right, buddy.
132
00:05:17,795 --> 00:05:19,101
Let's put him back
in the environment
133
00:05:19,231 --> 00:05:21,756
and get some cool shots
of it swimming around.
134
00:05:21,886 --> 00:05:23,061
There you go.
135
00:05:23,192 --> 00:05:25,194
Wow, that's awesome!
136
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:28,632
As I released the shark into
a deeper pocket of water,
137
00:05:28,763 --> 00:05:30,330
I could hardly
believe that this was
138
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:34,508
the ultimate conclusion to
our epic day of tide-pooling.
139
00:05:34,638 --> 00:05:37,598
And as its silhouette
disappeared into the current,
140
00:05:37,728 --> 00:05:41,776
I watched with a childlike
wonder and a sense of gratitude
141
00:05:41,906 --> 00:05:45,127
for the path that led the team
and I to this moment in time
142
00:05:45,257 --> 00:05:47,477
which marked the
day we finally found
143
00:05:47,608 --> 00:05:50,132
and caught a tide pool shark.
144
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:51,351
Nice.
145
00:05:51,481 --> 00:05:53,701
Down into the
depths of that pool.
146
00:05:53,831 --> 00:05:55,050
Wow!
147
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,618
The first shark on
"Brave Wilderness."
148
00:05:57,748 --> 00:05:59,228
That was epic.
Ooh!
149
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:00,098
Tide's coming in.
150
00:06:00,229 --> 00:06:01,143
Let's go, guys.
151
00:06:03,798 --> 00:06:05,060
Yeah!
152
00:06:05,190 --> 00:06:07,845
Mario, what you think of that?
153
00:06:10,282 --> 00:06:11,066
Yeah!
154
00:06:11,196 --> 00:06:12,110
Yeah!
155
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:17,507
Welcome back, Brave crew.
156
00:06:17,638 --> 00:06:19,379
We are out again in the tide
pools of Queensland, Australia,
157
00:06:19,509 --> 00:06:21,337
but this time,
we're out at night.
158
00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:25,036
And, as you may have noticed, we
are out with a very large net.
159
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:27,561
Now, this net is meant
for one creature and one
160
00:06:27,691 --> 00:06:29,519
creature only, the wobbegong.
161
00:06:29,650 --> 00:06:31,260
And if you don't know
what a wobbegong is,
162
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:33,044
stick around because if
you're watching this video
163
00:06:33,175 --> 00:06:34,568
and we actually
released it, there's
164
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:35,743
a good chance I catch one.
165
00:06:35,873 --> 00:06:37,179
All right, guys,
let's head out there
166
00:06:37,309 --> 00:06:38,528
and find ourselves a giant.
167
00:06:41,313 --> 00:06:43,794
The waves are fierce tonight.
168
00:06:43,925 --> 00:06:45,970
The storm surge that's been
through the last few days
169
00:06:46,101 --> 00:06:47,581
is not gone yet.
170
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:49,017
There's a lot of
lightning that we're
171
00:06:49,147 --> 00:06:50,366
seeing that's far enough
away from where we're
172
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:51,976
safe at the moment,
but that could
173
00:06:52,107 --> 00:06:53,282
present some challenges later.
174
00:06:57,329 --> 00:06:58,548
A little crabby.
175
00:06:58,679 --> 00:06:59,984
That's a good sign.
176
00:07:00,115 --> 00:07:02,073
I want to see if there's
any fish in these pools
177
00:07:02,204 --> 00:07:05,207
because if we can find the
fish, there likely will be
178
00:07:05,337 --> 00:07:07,992
a wobbegong not too far behind.
179
00:07:08,123 --> 00:07:10,212
Oh, there's some kind of fish.
180
00:07:13,128 --> 00:07:14,390
Look at that.
181
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:16,566
That's what the wobbegong
are after, which
182
00:07:16,697 --> 00:07:18,263
means that we're on the trail.
183
00:07:28,099 --> 00:07:29,057
Looking for that eye shine.
184
00:07:32,495 --> 00:07:35,150
Hang on, I might
have something here.
185
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,020
Guys, turn your cameras on!
186
00:07:36,151 --> 00:07:37,065
I got one!
187
00:07:40,068 --> 00:07:41,156
I got it!
188
00:07:41,286 --> 00:07:42,113
Woo!
189
00:07:42,244 --> 00:07:43,506
Yes!
190
00:07:43,637 --> 00:07:45,595
That's a wobbegong
That's a nice one too.
191
00:07:45,726 --> 00:07:47,554
The big net did its job.
192
00:07:47,684 --> 00:07:50,208
OK, let's head up here in
a little shallower water
193
00:07:50,339 --> 00:07:53,908
so we can do the presentation.
194
00:07:54,038 --> 00:07:56,084
I'm actually going to get
the wobbegong out of the net.
195
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:58,478
This is a great little
shallow pocket of water
196
00:07:58,608 --> 00:07:59,522
for us to observe it in.
197
00:07:59,653 --> 00:08:01,002
There you go, buddy.
Oh!
198
00:08:01,132 --> 00:08:02,482
See that?
199
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:04,658
That was a warning, "I
have very sharp teeth
200
00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:06,094
and I will bite you."
201
00:08:06,224 --> 00:08:07,399
Is that a good
shot for you guys?
202
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:08,444
OK, cool.
203
00:08:08,575 --> 00:08:10,054
Let's take a look at this shark.
204
00:08:10,185 --> 00:08:11,665
So you'll notice these sharks
have a beautiful cryptic
205
00:08:11,795 --> 00:08:13,884
patterning up and
down their body,
206
00:08:14,015 --> 00:08:16,321
and that really helps them
blend into their environment.
207
00:08:16,452 --> 00:08:18,367
Another thing that helps them
blend into their environment
208
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,282
is actually their
sensory appendages
209
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:22,719
that are around the face
and sides of the head.
210
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:24,982
It really gives them
that mossy carpeted
211
00:08:25,113 --> 00:08:29,421
look, which also has led to
their name the carpet shark.
212
00:08:29,552 --> 00:08:32,555
And they do have a very rough
skin, like most sharks do.
213
00:08:32,686 --> 00:08:34,078
Not at all slimy.
214
00:08:34,209 --> 00:08:35,471
And you'll see here
now that this shark
215
00:08:35,602 --> 00:08:37,255
has become very relaxed,
very comfortable
216
00:08:37,386 --> 00:08:38,822
with us being around it.
217
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,520
It's very comfortable
being in the shallow water.
218
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:42,347
And this is a natural thing
to happen to these sharks
219
00:08:42,478 --> 00:08:43,697
sometimes.
220
00:08:43,827 --> 00:08:45,394
Oftentimes, they'll
be out here feeding,
221
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:47,875
and the tide will recede back
faster than it can escape,
222
00:08:48,005 --> 00:08:49,833
and it'll have to just
hang out here in the pool
223
00:08:49,964 --> 00:08:52,096
and wait for the high
tide to come back in so it
224
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:53,837
can swim back out to open sea.
225
00:08:53,968 --> 00:08:56,492
Now, a lot of people out there
think that sharks have to be
226
00:08:56,623 --> 00:08:58,146
moving in order to breathe.
227
00:08:58,276 --> 00:09:00,627
And that's not actually true
with a number of species,
228
00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:03,368
but specifically
with the wobbegong,
229
00:09:03,499 --> 00:09:06,502
they can remain completely
still and breathe just fine.
230
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:08,373
You can see it right
there gulping in water
231
00:09:08,504 --> 00:09:10,985
and actually pushing it
out the sides of its gills,
232
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:13,596
just like that.
233
00:09:13,727 --> 00:09:15,119
And now, this
shark, I would say,
234
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,252
is on the medium to small
size for its species.
235
00:09:17,382 --> 00:09:19,689
This species can actually
grow to just over a meter.
236
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:22,518
But some wobbegongs can get
up to three meters in length,
237
00:09:22,649 --> 00:09:25,042
and that's a pretty big
carpet shark if you ask me.
238
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:28,437
Now, the reason they have
this great camouflage
239
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,178
is they are ambush predators.
240
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:33,573
They will sit, lay and wait,
and then as soon as a prey item
241
00:09:33,703 --> 00:09:35,400
comes right in
front of it, boom!
242
00:09:35,531 --> 00:09:38,012
It'll snap its jaws
and have its meal.
243
00:09:38,142 --> 00:09:41,145
And while these sharks are
perfect ambush predators,
244
00:09:41,276 --> 00:09:44,061
they do actively hunt
from time to time, which
245
00:09:44,192 --> 00:09:45,846
is what we were actually
witnessing this shark
246
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,282
doing when we caught it.
247
00:09:47,412 --> 00:09:49,110
They like to ride
in with the tide
248
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,112
and they catch those bait
fish that are marooned
249
00:09:51,242 --> 00:09:53,331
here in the tidal pockets.
250
00:09:53,462 --> 00:09:55,116
Now, another thing you'll
notice about this shark
251
00:09:55,246 --> 00:09:56,639
is the shape of its head.
252
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:59,686
It has a very large head
for the size of its body.
253
00:09:59,816 --> 00:10:02,558
Actually, the head is
wider than it is long.
254
00:10:02,689 --> 00:10:04,908
And they're known to be
the bulldogs of the sharks
255
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:06,127
out here.
256
00:10:06,257 --> 00:10:08,259
Once they bite,
they do not let go,
257
00:10:08,390 --> 00:10:09,870
so that would be a big
problem if we were to be
258
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,436
a bit by this shark tonight.
259
00:10:11,567 --> 00:10:13,787
So I definitely want to
keep my fingers and my toes
260
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:16,267
at a safe distance from
the mouth of that shark.
261
00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:18,269
Unfortunately,
from time to time,
262
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,011
people do interact with these
sharks in a negative way
263
00:10:21,142 --> 00:10:24,145
because we do cohabitate in
some of these tidal pools
264
00:10:24,275 --> 00:10:25,537
in beach areas.
265
00:10:25,668 --> 00:10:27,061
And there have
been a few reports
266
00:10:27,191 --> 00:10:29,237
over the years of people
being bitten on their toes,
267
00:10:29,367 --> 00:10:32,719
but fortunately, no reported
fatalities in Australia,
268
00:10:32,849 --> 00:10:35,286
at least none that
I've been able to find.
269
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:38,202
Well, I think that
about does it.
270
00:10:38,333 --> 00:10:39,769
Finally, the rains
have subsided.
271
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:41,553
It seems like the bugs
have died down just in time
272
00:10:41,684 --> 00:10:43,120
for us to have an outro.
273
00:10:43,251 --> 00:10:44,861
We were able to endure
all the elements tonight
274
00:10:44,992 --> 00:10:47,037
to finally find a
wobbegong and bring it
275
00:10:47,168 --> 00:10:48,778
up close to the
cameras so you can
276
00:10:48,909 --> 00:10:52,608
all appreciate just how cool
these carpet sharks truly are.
277

that notification bell

279
00:10:57,134 --> 00:10:58,570
a second of the action ahead.
280
00:10:58,701 --> 00:10:59,528
I'm Mark Vins.
281
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,138
Be brave.
282
00:11:01,269 --> 00:11:02,705
Stay wild.
283
00:11:02,836 --> 00:11:04,228
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
284
00:11:04,359 --> 00:11:07,797
All right, let's get the
net and put the shark back
285
00:11:07,928 --> 00:11:08,972
where we found it.
286
00:11:09,103 --> 00:11:11,235
All right, buddy,
time to go home.
287
00:11:11,366 --> 00:11:12,280
All right, let's go.
288
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:21,550
Massive rock formations
289
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:25,815
towered like prehistoric
giants, as intense waves crashed
290
00:11:25,946 --> 00:11:28,383
upon the jagged outcrops.
291
00:11:28,513 --> 00:11:31,778
At high tide, the southern
coastline of Africa
292
00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:34,041
is an unforgiving
landscape that has been
293
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:37,784
carved over millions of years.
294
00:11:37,914 --> 00:11:41,265
Yet, when the tide rolls back,
with it recedes the violence
295
00:11:41,396 --> 00:11:45,226
of the turbulent water, leaving
behind an intricate catacomb
296
00:11:45,356 --> 00:11:49,056
of inter-tidal pools that are
teeming with aquatic life.
297
00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:54,670
Today, we are exploring a
stretch of pristine shoreline
298
00:11:54,801 --> 00:11:58,152
known as Kenton on Sea,
a magical place where
299
00:11:58,282 --> 00:12:00,589
the South Atlantic
meets the Indian Ocean.
300
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,420
And to say the least, it's
breathtakingly beautiful.
301
00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:07,509
The sand was flawless.
302
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,641
The waves of water were warm.
303
00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:12,035
And with any luck,
we would happen upon
304
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:18,172
and get up close with a variety
of bizarre tide pool creatures.
305
00:12:18,302 --> 00:12:20,522
The tide is going
out at this point.
306
00:12:20,652 --> 00:12:23,046
Looks like it's still coming
in, but it's actually the best
307
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:24,439
time to search for animals.
308
00:12:24,569 --> 00:12:26,528
When all of the rocks
are still saturated,
309
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:28,617
that means that the
animals are still
310
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:30,793
comfortable, which
gives us the best chance
311
00:12:30,924 --> 00:12:33,274
of actually catching them.
312
00:12:33,404 --> 00:12:35,493
The water trapped within
the individual pools
313
00:12:35,624 --> 00:12:37,147
was crystal clear.
314
00:12:37,278 --> 00:12:39,584
So as I scouted from
pocket to pocket,
315
00:12:39,715 --> 00:12:42,109
I carefully scanned
the overhanging ledges
316
00:12:42,239 --> 00:12:44,502
and shadowy nooks.
317
00:12:44,633 --> 00:12:48,028
If there was ever a place
for a sea beast to hide,
318
00:12:48,158 --> 00:12:51,945
I was determined
to be the seeker.
319
00:12:52,075 --> 00:12:53,163
I can see its tentacle.
320
00:12:53,294 --> 00:12:55,165
Mario, if you crouch
down here, you
321
00:12:55,296 --> 00:12:57,167
might be able to get a shot.
322
00:12:57,298 --> 00:12:58,995
Actually, I wonder if
I can use my GoPro.
323
00:13:11,312 --> 00:13:13,923
He's wedged right into
that little cavity.
324
00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:14,968
Can you see?
325
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:15,969
Yeah.
326
00:13:21,191 --> 00:13:22,627
OK, here's what I'm going to do.
327
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,808
I'm going to actually place
my net up in this area,
328
00:13:28,938 --> 00:13:33,029
try to reach my arm around
and scare him up into the net.
329
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,989
Now, the good thing is that
none of the octopus species here
330
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:38,208
in South Africa are
lethal to humans.
331
00:13:38,339 --> 00:13:39,819
Keep in mind, if we
were in Australia
332
00:13:39,949 --> 00:13:41,342
and that was a
blue-ringed octopus,
333
00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:43,605
I would not be
performing this maneuver.
334
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:47,174
Now, all octopus are capable
of biting, all are venomous.
335
00:13:47,304 --> 00:13:50,394
But hopefully this one doesn't
decide to give me a nip.
336
00:13:54,311 --> 00:13:55,486
There
he is, there he is!
337
00:13:55,617 --> 00:13:57,227
He's out, he's out!
It's right there.
338
00:13:57,358 --> 00:13:58,707
Yeah, he's out.
He's right there.
339
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,013
I see
him, I see him, I see him.
340
00:14:00,143 --> 00:14:01,971
Oh, oh, oh!
341
00:14:02,102 --> 00:14:02,929
Oh!
342
00:14:05,975 --> 00:14:06,933
Dude.
343
00:14:07,063 --> 00:14:08,369
Do you see him?
- Where?
344
00:14:08,499 --> 00:14:09,326
Right
there, right there,
345
00:14:09,457 --> 00:14:10,284
right there, right there!
346
00:14:10,414 --> 00:14:10,980
He's moving, he's moving!
347
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:12,416
Right there.
348
00:14:12,547 --> 00:14:13,722
He's going through here,
he's going through here.
349
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:15,115
There he is, there he is!
You got him.
350
00:14:15,245 --> 00:14:16,159
Got it!
Yes!
351
00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:16,899
Yes!
Woo!
352
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:17,813
Woo!
353
00:14:17,944 --> 00:14:18,770
How about that?
354
00:14:18,901 --> 00:14:20,468
Well, the tactic worked.
355
00:14:20,598 --> 00:14:24,602
Gently coaxed him out of one
pocket and into the next.
356
00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:28,476
And there you have it, we
have got ourselves an octopus.
357
00:14:28,606 --> 00:14:29,956
Wow!
358
00:14:30,086 --> 00:14:31,827
I'm going to actually
let him out of the net
359
00:14:31,958 --> 00:14:33,655
and on to my arm.
360
00:14:33,785 --> 00:14:35,048
Hopefully I do not take a bite.
361
00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:40,401
There you go, buddy.
362
00:14:40,531 --> 00:14:43,360
Now, they do have a little
beak on their underside
363
00:14:43,491 --> 00:14:45,667
that, of course, he could
give me a bite with,
364
00:14:45,797 --> 00:14:48,322
but the venom of this
species is non-lethal.
365
00:14:48,452 --> 00:14:50,367
This is the common octopus.
366
00:14:50,498 --> 00:14:53,457
They can get bigger than this,
but to be honest with you guys,
367
00:14:53,588 --> 00:14:56,634
this is the largest
octopus I have ever caught.
368
00:14:56,765 --> 00:14:59,637
And it is on the move.
369
00:14:59,768 --> 00:15:02,945
Wow, look at it just
showing us its valves.
370
00:15:03,076 --> 00:15:05,556
Right now, I'm trying to
keep it as calm as I can.
371
00:15:05,687 --> 00:15:07,080
I don't want it to ink.
372
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:09,560
And look how it's turning
dark in coloration.
373
00:15:09,691 --> 00:15:12,041
But if I do this,
check this out.
374
00:15:12,172 --> 00:15:17,655
Set it down and sort of try
to corral it into this pool.
375
00:15:17,786 --> 00:15:19,440
What it wants to feel
is like it's protected.
376
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:21,311
Look at that color change.
377
00:15:21,442 --> 00:15:24,836
Within a matter of seconds,
it completely morphs the shape
378
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:28,057
of its body and its coloration.
379
00:15:28,188 --> 00:15:29,667
You got an OK shot there?
Yeah.
380
00:15:29,798 --> 00:15:31,104
This is actually great.
381
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:32,757
You can see it pumping
water through the valves
382
00:15:32,888 --> 00:15:34,759
on the side of its head.
383
00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:37,153
If I keep it like this, it
will feel more comfortable.
384
00:15:37,284 --> 00:15:39,460
They want to feel concealed.
385
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:41,201
Wow, look at that.
386
00:15:41,331 --> 00:15:44,465
And they want to feel
like they are hidden.
387
00:15:44,595 --> 00:15:46,249
And just like if I
were to handle a snake,
388
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,338
I want to go one
hand to the next.
389
00:15:48,469 --> 00:15:50,427
Octopus have eight tentacles.
390
00:15:50,558 --> 00:15:52,952
And one of the coolest
things about these creatures
391
00:15:53,082 --> 00:15:57,304
is that if they lose a tentacle,
they can rejuvenate it.
392
00:15:57,434 --> 00:15:58,392
Wow!
393
00:15:58,522 --> 00:16:00,002
That is so cool!
394
00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:02,135
Like a big slimy booger!
395
00:16:02,265 --> 00:16:03,353
All right, I'm going
to place it back
396
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:04,964
down into this pocket of water.
397
00:16:05,094 --> 00:16:05,834
Here we go.
398
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,140
Keep him positioned.
399
00:16:07,270 --> 00:16:08,576
I'm getting totally
slimed right now.
400
00:16:08,706 --> 00:16:10,056
All right, now if I just
keep my hand positioned,
401
00:16:10,186 --> 00:16:12,058
watch the way that it
will actually slink.
402
00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:13,407
I guess it going
to go over my arm.
403
00:16:13,537 --> 00:16:15,235
I thought he was going
to go under my arm.
404
00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:19,369
And as the tide goes out,
if these animals are stuck
405
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:23,678
in a shallow pool, they can
do this, slink from pocket
406
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:26,420
of water to pocket of water.
407
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:28,900
That is so cool.
408
00:16:29,031 --> 00:16:32,687
Now, one of the key defense
tactics of all octopus--
409
00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:37,126
octopuses for plural-- is that
they can actually eject ink.
410
00:16:37,257 --> 00:16:39,824
And that allows them
the ability to disappear
411
00:16:39,955 --> 00:16:44,177
into a rock crevice or
back into the ocean waters.
412
00:16:44,307 --> 00:16:45,787
Now, if the octopus
needs to, it can
413
00:16:45,917 --> 00:16:47,876
actually stay out of the
water for a significant amount
414
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,617
of time.
415
00:16:49,747 --> 00:16:51,488
And the only reason you'd ever
find an octopus out of water
416
00:16:51,619 --> 00:16:53,969
is if it's moving from
tide pool to tide pool.
417
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:55,884
As that tide
recedes, the octopus,
418
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,581
if it's not in a
deep enough pocket,
419
00:16:57,712 --> 00:17:00,062
will oftentimes try
to find itself back
420
00:17:00,193 --> 00:17:02,499
out into the ocean currents.
421
00:17:02,630 --> 00:17:04,414
All right, buddy, time to get
you back into your pocket.
422
00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:10,638
As I released the octopus
back into its watery realm,
423
00:17:10,768 --> 00:17:14,468
we witnessed an incredible
sight, the most classic octopi
424
00:17:14,598 --> 00:17:18,341
defense maneuver, ink and jet.
425
00:17:18,472 --> 00:17:19,473
Whoa!
426
00:17:19,603 --> 00:17:20,865
You just got inked!
427
00:17:20,996 --> 00:17:22,606
And
as it disappeared back
428
00:17:22,737 --> 00:17:25,783
into the cavernous rocks, I came
to the realization that never
429
00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:29,613
before had a single pool
of ocean water provided
430
00:17:29,744 --> 00:17:32,355
us with so many species.
431
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:36,011
This isolated miniature biome
was an absolute goldmine
432
00:17:36,142 --> 00:17:38,144
of bizarre aquatic creatures.
433
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:40,537
And I felt incredibly
fortunate to have
434
00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:45,325
successfully gotten so many of
them up close for the cameras.
435
00:17:45,455 --> 00:17:49,503
Yet, little did we know the
adventure wasn't quite over.
436
00:17:52,158 --> 00:17:55,204
As we meandered our way back
to the production vehicles,
437
00:17:55,335 --> 00:17:57,598
we stumbled upon
the one creature
438
00:17:57,728 --> 00:18:01,602
I had always dreamed of
finding in a tide pool.
439
00:18:01,732 --> 00:18:03,995
Oh my gosh, a shark!
440
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:05,780
Oh my gosh, a shark.
441
00:18:09,392 --> 00:18:11,525
Get Mario.
442
00:18:11,655 --> 00:18:12,613
Oh, ho, ho, ho!
443
00:18:12,743 --> 00:18:13,570
I can't believe that.
444
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:14,832
I'm like, this is so cool.
445
00:18:14,963 --> 00:18:16,791
I look over, I'm like, a shark!
446
00:18:16,921 --> 00:18:18,967
The camera
team is just returning.
447
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,187
I think the goal here is going
to be to catch the shark,
448
00:18:21,317 --> 00:18:22,449
look at it very quickly--
449
00:18:26,235 --> 00:18:27,976
We definitely don't want
to stress it out or try
450
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,673
to handle it for too long.
451
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:34,287
But this is so cool, a
shark in a tide pool.
452
00:18:34,417 --> 00:18:36,637
All right, guys, so
this is super crazy!
453
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:39,640
We just got finished
filming with an octopus,
454
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:43,252
and there is a shark in
this pocket of water!
455
00:18:43,383 --> 00:18:45,820
That is a spotted gully shark.
456
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:47,343
Now, they are bottom-feeders.
457
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:50,172
And unlike great white
sharks or tiger sharks,
458
00:18:50,303 --> 00:18:52,043
they only have
small little blunted
459
00:18:52,174 --> 00:18:56,483
teeth, so it should be OK for
me to gently pick up this shark.
460
00:18:56,613 --> 00:18:57,353
Are you guys ready?
461
00:18:57,484 --> 00:18:58,746
Yep.
462
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:00,965
I have no idea how
fast it's going to move.
463
00:19:01,096 --> 00:19:02,619
I'm going to actually
not use my net
464
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:06,406
and try to grab it by
the back of the tail.
465
00:19:06,536 --> 00:19:08,973
They have very
sandpaper-like skin,
466
00:19:09,104 --> 00:19:10,714
so I should be able to
grip on to it, no problem.
467
00:19:10,845 --> 00:19:11,759
Heads up.
468
00:19:16,633 --> 00:19:18,592
OK, I got a hold of it there.
469
00:19:18,722 --> 00:19:21,247
Bringing it up.
470
00:19:21,377 --> 00:19:22,596
Hey, buddy!
471
00:19:22,726 --> 00:19:23,945
Look at that!
472
00:19:24,075 --> 00:19:25,120
Whoa!
473
00:19:25,251 --> 00:19:27,644
That is the
first shark we have
474
00:19:27,775 --> 00:19:32,780
ever caught or featured on the
"Brave Wilderness" channel.
475
00:19:32,910 --> 00:19:35,783
What a beautiful fish!
476
00:19:35,913 --> 00:19:38,960
The way that I can tell this
is a spot of gully shark,
477
00:19:39,090 --> 00:19:40,570
see all those black spots?
478
00:19:40,701 --> 00:19:42,093
Pretty obvious, right?
479
00:19:42,224 --> 00:19:46,446
And they usually have a
very light-colored belly.
480
00:19:46,576 --> 00:19:50,232
They also have very distinct
triangular pectoral fins,
481
00:19:50,363 --> 00:19:54,410
very distinct triangular dorsal
fin, and then a second fin
482
00:19:54,541 --> 00:19:56,804
on the rear part of its
tail that's almost as
483
00:19:56,934 --> 00:19:59,372
tall as the actual dorsal fin.
484
00:19:59,502 --> 00:20:00,808
All right, I'm going
to dunk it back down.
485
00:20:00,938 --> 00:20:02,679
It's being very calm.
486
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:05,552
That is so cool!
487
00:20:05,682 --> 00:20:08,598
The spotted gully shark is
a species of hound shark
488
00:20:08,729 --> 00:20:12,211
that can often be found
in shallow inshore waters.
489
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:14,735
They favor sandy tide
pools, such as the ones
490
00:20:14,865 --> 00:20:17,694
we have been exploring, and
occasionally find themselves
491
00:20:17,825 --> 00:20:21,176
marooned when the tide drops.
492
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:24,484
When you run your fingers in
one direction across the skin,
493
00:20:24,614 --> 00:20:25,659
it's smooth.
494
00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:27,835
But if you go in
reverse direction,
495
00:20:27,965 --> 00:20:29,576
it feels just like sandpaper.
496
00:20:29,706 --> 00:20:31,752
Go ahead, Mark, pet the shark.
497
00:20:31,882 --> 00:20:33,275
Go one way.
Smooth.
498
00:20:33,406 --> 00:20:34,189
Wow.
499
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,321
Right?
500
00:20:35,451 --> 00:20:36,670
Very rough.
501
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,368
Like a fine grit
sandpaper right there.
502
00:20:39,499 --> 00:20:45,505
This shark has one, two,
three, four, five gill slits.
503
00:20:45,635 --> 00:20:47,681
Now, when we're talking about
the teeth of this creature,
504
00:20:47,811 --> 00:20:49,900
it's almost like
a cheese grater.
505
00:20:50,031 --> 00:20:53,382
What they feed on are small
crustaceans and other animals
506
00:20:53,513 --> 00:20:55,645
on the basin of the ocean.
507
00:20:55,776 --> 00:20:57,386
And actually, this is one
of those rare occasions
508
00:20:57,517 --> 00:21:01,651
where I could probably be bitten
by a shark and be just fine.
509
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:04,611
They oftentimes will
hunt in tide pools
510
00:21:04,741 --> 00:21:07,353
just sifting along the
bottom for small crabs
511
00:21:07,483 --> 00:21:08,658
and other mollusks.
512
00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:10,094
Let me dip it again.
513
00:21:10,225 --> 00:21:11,531
Woo!
514
00:21:11,661 --> 00:21:13,837
That is so cool being
able to handle a shark.
515
00:21:13,968 --> 00:21:14,882
OK, buddy.
516
00:21:15,012 --> 00:21:16,362
There you go, there you go.
517
00:21:16,492 --> 00:21:18,886
At nearly three feet
in length, this shark
518
00:21:19,016 --> 00:21:21,062
is considered a
juvenile, yet they
519
00:21:21,192 --> 00:21:23,064
can reach lengths
of nearly six feet
520
00:21:23,194 --> 00:21:25,545
and are primarily
active at night,
521
00:21:25,675 --> 00:21:29,853
feeding on crustaceans,
small fish, and cephalopods
522
00:21:29,984 --> 00:21:32,116
such as octopuses.
523
00:21:32,247 --> 00:21:34,728
Bring the shark back up here.
524
00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:36,295
Man, and
a tide pool shark.
525
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:38,340
So cool, right?
526
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:39,820
Now, you may be
saying to yourselves,
527
00:21:39,950 --> 00:21:41,648
Coyote, is this
shark permanently
528
00:21:41,778 --> 00:21:43,084
marooned in this tide pool?
529
00:21:43,214 --> 00:21:44,607
No.
530
00:21:44,738 --> 00:21:46,653
Actually, the tide is on
its way back in right now.
531
00:21:46,783 --> 00:21:48,350
And once the water
gets deep enough,
532
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:50,221
it will be able to
move to the next pocket
533
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:53,747
or out in the ocean,
if it chooses to.
534
00:21:53,877 --> 00:21:57,446
But what a cool opportunity
for us to get a shark up
535
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:59,970
close for the cameras.
536
00:22:00,101 --> 00:22:02,364
Talk about topping off
a day of tide-pooling
537
00:22:02,495 --> 00:22:03,887
here in South Africa.
538
00:22:04,018 --> 00:22:05,454
I'm Coyote Peterson.
539
00:22:05,585 --> 00:22:07,804
Be brave.
540
00:22:07,935 --> 00:22:09,545
Stay wild.
541
00:22:09,676 --> 00:22:12,374
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
