this amazing thing happened a few years ago we accidentally found a fluorescent
ago we accidentally found a fluorescent
ago we accidentally found a fluorescent fish and then that led us to over 200
fish and then that led us to over 200
fish and then that led us to over 200 fluorescent fish including two species
fluorescent fish including two species
fluorescent fish including two species of sharks I wanted to film these sharks
of sharks I wanted to film these sharks
of sharks I wanted to film these sharks in their natural world with the shark
in their natural world with the shark
in their natural world with the shark eye camera and see essentially what the
eye camera and see essentially what the
eye camera and see essentially what the world looks like through their eye so
world looks like through their eye so
world looks like through their eye so humans see in three colors red green and
humans see in three colors red green and
humans see in three colors red green and blue and as soon as we go underwater we
blue and as soon as we go underwater we
blue and as soon as we go underwater we start losing all the other colors
start losing all the other colors
start losing all the other colors quickly and it becomes dark and blue
quickly and it becomes dark and blue
quickly and it becomes dark and blue these biofluorescent sharks that were
these biofluorescent sharks that were
these biofluorescent sharks that were looking at are called swell sharks these
looking at are called swell sharks these
looking at are called swell sharks these sharks had only one visual pigment and
sharks had only one visual pigment and
sharks had only one visual pigment and it was only right at the intersection of
it was only right at the intersection of
it was only right at the intersection of blue and green they’re in a blue world
blue and green they’re in a blue world
blue and green they’re in a blue world where everything is blue but they’re
where everything is blue but they’re
where everything is blue but they’re capable of turning blue into green
once we learned what the pigment of the
once we learned what the pigment of the shark I was like we filtered a very
shark I was like we filtered a very
shark I was like we filtered a very sensitive camera we had a red epic to
sensitive camera we had a red epic to
sensitive camera we had a red epic to have the same color sensitivity as the
have the same color sensitivity as the
have the same color sensitivity as the shark at 120 feet in this Canyon we were
shark at 120 feet in this Canyon we were
shark at 120 feet in this Canyon we were just using the blue ocean light and this
just using the blue ocean light and this
just using the blue ocean light and this was difficult for us humans but the
was difficult for us humans but the
was difficult for us humans but the sharks can still see amazingly well and
sharks can still see amazingly well and
sharks can still see amazingly well and that makes sense because they’ve been
that makes sense because they’ve been
that makes sense because they’ve been down there for 400 million years and
down there for 400 million years and
down there for 400 million years and they’ve been living in an environment
they’ve been living in an environment
they’ve been living in an environment with very little light this was a huge
with very little light this was a huge
with very little light this was a huge step for us because we didn’t even know
step for us because we didn’t even know
step for us because we didn’t even know could this well sharks could the
could this well sharks could the
could this well sharks could the fluorescent sharks
fluorescent sharks
fluorescent sharks see this and with the study now we know
see this and with the study now we know
see this and with the study now we know yes because they can see the
yes because they can see the
yes because they can see the fluorescence among themselves this
fluorescence among themselves this
fluorescence among themselves this almost seems like when it was discovered
almost seems like when it was discovered
almost seems like when it was discovered that bats were communicating with sound
that bats were communicating with sound
that bats were communicating with sound outside of human detection and that
outside of human detection and that
outside of human detection and that there was a whole mode of communication
there was a whole mode of communication
there was a whole mode of communication going on and with sharks
going on and with sharks
going on and with sharks it could be something similar how
it could be something similar how
it could be something similar how they’re using it now we can even go
they’re using it now we can even go
they’re using it now we can even go further and further more into this era
further and further more into this era
further and further more into this era where were losing species at a rate that
where were losing species at a rate that
where were losing species at a rate that we haven’t seen in millions of years so
we haven’t seen in millions of years so
we haven’t seen in millions of years so in trying to connect with nature it’s
in trying to connect with nature it’s
in trying to connect with nature it’s important to kind of empathize with
important to kind of empathize with
important to kind of empathize with nature and even see what these animals
nature and even see what these animals
nature and even see what these animals and by putting ourselves behind the
and by putting ourselves behind the
and by putting ourselves behind the shark’s eye gives us a portal into their
shark’s eye gives us a portal into their
shark’s eye gives us a portal into their life
