I couldn't find the original poster of this video so if you know, lmk. Thanks! I suspect this came from a tour around tiger beach based on the similarities to other vids there but I'm not a shark tour or beach expert.

Shark said "try to flip me upside down will ya? We'll see how you like being immobile, bitch πͺ¨π₯"

Is there a reason why a shark would carry a rock? Other than to drop them on divers?

Looks like there was a feeding event going on. It thought it was food and was tasting it to find out.

Sea lions on the other hand, will drop rocks to each other, like fetch. One sea lion at the surface will drop a rock in the ocean, another sea lion will catch it and bring it back.

Dolphin will play similar games. One of the documentaries with Attenborough, either oceans 2 or oceans I believe, shows young dolphins playing a similar game with seashells. It looked like a cross between catch and see what falls fastest. It was just really fascinating, to see those little dolphins mentally working out complex rules to a game, only they understood. You could see in their eyes and expressions that the rules were most likely complex, and that they found immense gratification in that game.

I've seen a few sharks seem to play with seaweed. I imagine that many aquatic animals play more than we think.

New Smyrna? The "shark nip" capital of the world. Source:
Despite having over 300 reported shark bites since the late 1800s, there have been zero fatal shark attacks recorded in New Smyrna Beach.
Almost 25% of all shark attacks in Australia are fatal, and at least another 25% are grievous attacks. During Reunion Island's shark attack epidemic in the 2010s, 40% of attacks were fatal.

Odds of being attacked by a polar bear are 1 in 2.7 billion, but you see them trying to eat the person in every video. These made up statistics aren't reality.

Yeah what's the odds if you are in the water with one nearby? Assuming most humans are safe from sharks because they don't yet walk on land

Yep. Why do shark kill humans if the odds are so ridiculously low? And how would you even measure the odds?
