Patty Cake Cats & A Kayak Fisherman vs A Great White Shark from Down Under (Videos)

Funny, Weird, & Educational Pictures or Videos | 4/1/11 | Chuck Wolk

The first video is two cats playing pattycake. The owner of the cats says that her two cats "Goo" and "Yat Jai" are playing patty cake or Wing Chun Sticky hands! They do this all the time and that she finally caught it on video. When they realized she was filming, they stops and then resumed when they thought she wasn't looking anymore. Someone else saw the video online and added the voice over. It is the voice over that truly makes this video so great.

In the second video, you will see an Australian kayaker who is fishing off the coast of Australia in a place called "Woody Head". When you consider that a shark can detect 1 part blood or urine in 1 billion parts water, and that they can detect the faint electrical impulses caused by a kayaker's beating heart. Great whites sharks are territorial and probably don't get to see very many brave, or crazy, kayakers so close. I think we can safely say that this shark was not very hungry, or else I am sure it would have tried to knock the kayak around in the hopes of knocking the guy into the water. This is a cool video because it really gives you an idea of how harrowing an experience like this can be for someone.

I am posting this for OneVike. He sent me an email and asked if I could cover for him while he is indisposed with something that is keeping him sidelined. So, for those who may have a problem with me posting and taking liberties with another Freepers material, I have permission.

I hope the gifs OV made from the videos work properly along with the links.

Video Ping!

OneVike asked me to help him out, so I am posting a few videos from his site for everyone. He is out of commission for awhile, but wants everyone to know that things are really going pretty good. He just needs time to rest and recharge I guess. I told him I would hold down the fort and help out all I can. Enjoy the videos of the Pattycake Cats and the Kayaker vs the Shark Down Under

Wrong. Sharks do not hunt human beings for food; attacks on humans are a case of mistaken identity. If we were the chosen prey for sharks, there would be a lot more attacks and far, far fewer survivors.

I don’t believe that they make enough pot and magic mushrooms for me to come up with the idea to take a Rube Goldberg designed kayak into shark infested oceans and do a little light fishing. He had a fish finder mounted on that stupid little thing. Just ridiculous.

He must have been going for the 2011 Darwin Awards with that fishing trip. Not only did he have one hand held camera, but had one mounted to get a nice two camera shot of his demise by the Great White. Unbelievable.

Wow, thanks for the information, but maybe you should share that bit of information with the families who lost loved ones to shark attacks after the sinking of the USS Indianapolis during WWII. What follows is from site that has first hand accounts from back then.

"The U.S.S. Indianapolis was hit by a Japanese torpedo after it dropped off the atom bomb, on it's way back to sea duty. It was under strict radio silence so no one knew where they were. The ship sank in a matter of minutes and no word was sent out for help ( A mayday) or S.O.S.

The sailors, about 1100 of them were in the water for up to three days before Washington sent out search planes to see what was going on.

They found about 500 sailors still floating waiting for help. Many of the sailors were killed by sharks, it was the most or worst attack by sharks in history. Many men were pulled in, only to have the bottom halves of their bodies gone.

At least if he did become lunch, we would know how it happened, thanks to the mounted video camera.

Imagine the hits that video would get on YouTube.

“Wrong. Sharks do not hunt human beings for food;”

Not normally, but I think, like most predators, once they’ve got a taste of one, that can all change.

Wait, so should I cancel the Antarctic kayaking adventure package I bought for you?

Thanks for the ping. I’ve been missing OV for a while now and hope that he is all right.

Loved the patty-cake video, and you’re right. The voice over makes it really great.

The kayaker? He’s nuts! ;-)

[Moltke]

Wow. That has to be the lamest shark video ever. A wholly uninterested shark briefly swims past a catamaran thingy. Oooohhhh! I want 3:49 min of my life back.

[Lazlo in PA]

I'll pass on that trip. Besides the cold, I can just imagine a Polar Bear swimming over to the kayak to eat my ham sandwich lunch, with my arm still attached. My ocean going kayaking is limited to Sandals resorts in the Caribbean where all I have to worry about are locals going by trying to sell me pot or some hand made artifact.

The men lost to shark attacks in the sinking of the Indianapolis were killed the same way almost anyone killed by a shark is: they are badly bitten, but not eaten. Most attack victims die from the blood loss caused by a single bite. The sailors on the Indianapolis were even worse off than someone attacked at a beach in that they were thousands of miles from medical care.

The overwhelming majority of attacks on humans occur in water less then four feet deep, and in nearly every instance the victim is bitten once or twice. Even in instances where a swimmer has been badly bitten (loss of an arm or leg, torso bite) by a large requiem shark, the victim has not been eaten when the attacking shark could have very easily consumed them. The victim is bitten, the shark breaks off the attack when he finds what he bit into was not to his liking. The injury and death occur as a function of our frail human form going up against multiple rows of shark teeth driven by several thousand pounds of bite force per square inch.

If sharks hunted humans for food, the only safe spots for swimming would be in areas that are heavily netted. There are literally millions of miles of unprotected coastline where nearly 100% of swimmers are able to swim unmolested.
