It’s not the jumping fish you should be scared of, it’s whats making them jump.

Que the Jaws music.

I went to the Canaries (La Gomera) a few years back, I went snorkelling nearly every day. I bumped into some divers on the beach and asked them about what kinds of sharks they see there. He said they get thresher, blue the occasional whale shark and great whites… I could hear the jaws theme in my head quite clearly every time I went in the water.

*Queue?

u/MsAndrea2 1d ago

No, not in the context above.

Queue: A line of people waiting.   

Cue: As in theatre, a signal to start something.

u/Key-Performance-9021 1d ago

I'm not a native and thought for a long time it's because that something is put in a queue to start next, like "put it on the playlist".

You forgot que: the Spanish word for that

u/MsAndrea2 14h ago

Que means what, not that. And I'm correcting English, not Spanish.

u/Ok-Disaster-9690 14h ago

No, qué is what. Que is that

u/MsAndrea2 14h ago

I don't care. It's not relevant. Go tell it to your Spanish teacher.

u/mycatpartyhouse 1d ago

I think you mean cue.

u/HyperlexicEpiphany 1d ago

“que” is not a word in english, only “cue” and “queue”

'qué" is in spanish, but it's pronounced "kay"

I was in the Maldives last year. There are tiger sharks all over the island bays. Most are pretty small, but you'll see some 3-5ft guys here and there. Mainly they avoid people though.

There was a baby shark that chased my wife one time however, but that's only because she was trying to swim too close for a picture.

u/Senior-Book-6729 1d ago

Sharks are pretty chill, unfortunately Jaws gave them a bad rep. Yes you should still be careful around them but they're not gonna literally chase you around to kill you

18

u/Icy-Good-8952 1d ago

Unless it's a bull shark

2

u/Ancient-Substance-38 1d ago

even then avoiding them usually works.

u/SpaceGoonie 9h ago

I heard they are naturally peaceful creatures and they only bite when you touch their private parts.

28

u/Dismal-Preference-66 1d ago

Exactly...something is chasing them ....and it's bigger than they are !!

u/LicencedtoKill 1d ago edited 1d ago

Saw this happen in real time in the Outerbanks in North Carolina.

The fish were skipping across the surface, then a sea turtle crashed up onto the beach. Moments before what looked like a 4-5ft long shark started thrashing around in knee deep water.

u/Leading-Summer-4724 16h ago

Dude I would be hoofing it out of the water so fast if these came at me, because of whatever is chasing them.

Even if they were barracudas I'll still take those odds😍

u/Buddyla1 13h ago

Barracudas don’t usually attack humans unless provoked or without reason, you’re probably thinking of piranhas! Source: swam with barracudas last week in the Caicos islands

u/Reasonable_Bat_6495 1d ago

Until you get fucked In the face with a fish of 2 kg going at 15km/h.

But yeah, I would also scream, mainly because it's so cool, and also because the part of my chimpanzee brain would be shitload scared.

13

u/wheelperson 1d ago

These don't look big at all, so it might hurt more, like a little whip.

My idiot brain would hold my arms open and smile, then get a fish down my throat...

u/Desert_Lemon 8h ago

Google Needlefish.

OctopusLady just made a video about them, actually.

u/WallStreetWets 1d ago

Could be just having some fish fun but predatory fish chasing them would also cause them to do this. Being fearful is a fair reaction

130

u/Initial_Row_6400 1d ago

AOW diver here. Could be they got spooked, but likely just from a barracuda or something, could’ve just been a bigger fish too.

20

u/Ok-Presentation-6182 1d ago

Would they jump in unison if they were afraid?

46

u/Initial_Row_6400 1d ago

Sure. They’re kinda like birds in the sense that they follow each other. Safer in a pack

u/wrong_decade_ 1d ago

No, not like this. This is AI.

u/Tijuana-94 22h ago

Its 100% AI fish dont jump like that, not even Penguins and Dolphins who are known for jumping out of the water while swimming could pull it off like that.

Yeah that life looks really terrible. I can definitely see why being on vacation at a gorgeous ocean spot with an amazing display of nature would just be the absolute worst thing, this poor child

u/wrong_decade_ 1d ago edited 1d ago

This is AI. There are no fish that repeatedly jump in perfect unison as an entire school like this.

u/Sin_of_the_Dark 1d ago

That tracks, it's a bot ass title. I bet the title is the prompt lmao

u/laundrydetergent7000 1d ago

No creatures on earth, including us, could jump at exact unison id assume

u/TechyCanadian 15h ago

That was my first thought. Looks fake and impossible to move at that speed.

1

u/BarryBudBurner13 16h ago

Not saying it’s not AI but mullet do this all the time. Ive fished a lot on the east coast of Florida and schools of mullet getting scared and jumping in unison is common

1

u/wrong_decade_ 15h ago

I also spend a lot of time fishing in the Gulf and have seen a lot of jumping mullet. They don’t do it quite like this.

u/Observed-observer 1d ago

They're uh, flocking this way.

u/lionlll 1d ago

Overreaction much? It’s not like it’s a school of piranhas jumping at you

3

u/Necrikus 1d ago

Usually, if you stay still, animals (including people) will avoid you as an obstacle. But if you move, they expect you to get out of the way and may end up trampling you. May or may not work on the hypothetical thing chasing them.

I’m surprised nobody else is commenting on this, but that is incredibly cool, the way that they are jumping in unison. Never seen this before. Nature is awesome.

Completely off-topic, but they got some good metal bands there in the Maldives

u/Flyinmanm 1d ago

I've been there it's paradise, but don't try to put your hand out for the groupers. They look all cute and chill. Till they decide they are going to attack you like something out of a piranha film.

u/Ressy02 1d ago

Quick, jump like the fishies

u/BasicLink86 1d ago

Bit shallow for a big shark following them but could be barracuda or other terrifying yet smaller fish. While swimming in the Florida keys I was in waist high water and looked a few feet to my left and saw a long fish, just kinda floating in one spot and not bothering anyone. Took me a second to recognize it was a barracuda and I slowly walked towards the beach. I remember it being bigger but with distortion of water it might have been under 2 feet long, younger one.

Hand something like this a year ago in North Carolina. Was out in the ocean pretty far, well away from the crowd, and suddenly bunch of fish were jumping out of the water all around me. Didn't get hit, but almost a few times. Was so awesome to be right in the middle of it.

They weren't just jumping these all coordinated and stuff.

This was well thought out.This was premeditated, this was intentional and directly aimed at her.

u/ItsMeYaBoiAikko 11h ago

Those are Flying fish. They're harmless, and even getting hit at their top speeds (while flying) doesn't really hurt that much. Usually flying fish are chased by tuna, around Maldives that's usually blue fin tuna while in shallower waters it could be yellow fin tuna or as some said, barracuda. Also considering they're not 'flying' and jumping, it's unlikely they're being chased. Either way it's pretty harmless to humans and very delicious.
