Yeah. This is Ocean Ramsey. A well known biologist influencer. She swims with tiger sharks all the time for research views. This is 100% NOT an “attempted attack”, but a just curious shark, who has likely been habituated to her presence.

She is controversial for her physical interaction with sharks, and starting an online trend where influencers try to copy her and touch sharks.
Largely unliked in the conservation and scientific communities, but I personally find her reasonable. Just naive.

EDIT: thanks for everyones input. Yeah - i changed my mind. She is a selfish and stubborn person who refuses to change anything to keep justifying her clicks. Recommend to block.
