Dear Sharkman, for a shark conservationist, your observations are very much wrong.
The shark is a female, the trance is not sexual.
If you had observed sharks mating in the wild (as I have) you would know the mating is not a gentle act. None of what I do here is sexual, nor exploitative.
The shark comes up to me to be touched, if it did not want to, I would never be able to reach for it.
What I do is trying to make people wonder how we can move and handle sharks in this way, when sharks are known to jut "eat people". I want people to question their so called "knowledge" about sharks and decide to learn a little more and realize there is so much more and so much to protect.
I receive every day 100s of message from people who's perception about sharks has changed thanks to this video.
And what you see falling off the shark fin...well that is just sand that was on the pelvic fins.
Male Sharks have claspers, their sexual organs. I will leave it up to you to google it and see how visible they are.And to compare to this girl.
True knowledge allows to make the right comments.
Best Regards
Cristina Zenato
