I found you video beautiful to watch and was amazed at your handling of the shark (lemon?). At first I thought it was just another well done shark video but then was mesmerized to see the creature lying against you while you stroked its back and nose.
I am guessing that rubbing the nose (which is very sensitive to magnetic and electrical impulses I understand) is similar to having an alligator go into a super relaxed state by stroking its belly in one direction?
I've enjoyed interactions with wild rays (cow nosed and Atlantic) while fishing in the surf, but would be extremely nervous doing so with even a small shark. I was glad to see you take nothing for granted with these spectacular creatures and were wearing chain mail to protect yourself.
