There’s always something new and surprising to see in nature, especially when you have drones flying all over the place to find the best shots. Case in point: a shark being surrounded by a school of little fish. It’s usually the other way around – schools of fish swirling in a giant ball with predators circling nearby.
This view is stunning. Now that we’ve enjoyed the beautiful sight of this unforgettable photo, here’s a fun fact. Sometimes schools of fish will follow a shark around so that other predators thinking of eating them will steer clear. Most other fish keep their distance when a shark’s around. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Swimming With Sharks
We give up. we will never understand some people. You are SWIMMING. With SHARKS. Here’s a revolutionary idea: how about you not do that maybe? Perhaps we're just made of different stuff, but we would much prefer looking at sharks from a safe distance.
Swimming with them seems highly unnecessary, don’t you think? What are the chances of getting bitten? We know, we know. Probably slim. But you wanna know the best answer? The chances of getting bitten are about a gazillion times less if you DON’T SWIM WITH SHARKS. We don’t want to be those people, but we wonder what the next few photos in this series showed.
Giant Bird's Nest
Seems like this is a giant nest of little birds* that they build atop a utility pole. We understand that such little birds building such enormous nests is somewhat unusual, so we consider ourselves lucky for having gotten to see this photo. But admit it: looks kinda sinister at first until you know what it is, right?
It’s not something you want to see on a casual stroll through the woods, that’s for sure. We was about to call it a giant birds’ nest, but we realized that could be misunderstood to mean that they were giant birds. So we fixed it! Clarity is your friend.
Caught Cheating
Some guy followed his wife with his drone to catch her going to a parking lot to cheat on him. As she got in her lover’s car, she probably thought she was clever, but she was no match for a jilted husband who was also a skilled drone pilot.
We’ve heard of people hacking into their spouse’s phones and computers, but this is a new level of hi-tech spying. It’s sad he resorted to it, but it was effective. Marriage is tough. It’s a harsh world out there, and this is a classic example of using a drone for premeditated espionage. We mean, maybe she had it coming, but you’ve got to admit that this raises serious ethical and privacy issues.
Swim for Your Life!
Sharks again. It’s heart attack time! Sheesh. We gotta admit, drone footage of sharks in close proximity to humans is pretty darn compelling. Kinda grabs you by the throat, so to speak. But it’s nightmare-inducing stuff every single time.
Does that unfortunate woman not realize that there is a giant great white shark just a few feet away from her? Say what you will but swimming in the ocean is never a good idea. We hope she got away safe. She looks like a strong swimmer. We wonder if the pilot managed to warn her in some way. If only this drone also came with some kind of an audible warning system!
