One year ago, we were finishing up our story on the Hawaiian culture and their connection to the sea. Looking back, it has been an incredible year with many moments like this one. @oceanicramsey along with @juansharks introduced us to their connection to the great sharks of Hawaii. Here, Ocean swims with a large, gentle and graceful tiger shark offshore from the Hawaiian Islands. We spent an hour with this inquisitive shark and I found incredible peace and gratitude while being in the presence of this impressive animal. Many Hawaiians believe that sharks like this one could be their Aumakua, a family God or deified ancestor returning to visit them in the sea. There are many stories of nā ʻaumākua (in animal form) intervening to save their descendants from harm. It was extremely bad luck to harm an aumakua. This is in sharp contrast to the shark culls that have recently taken place in Australia where hundreds of these great sharks were killed out of a lack of understanding. Please stay tuned for our upcoming story in National Geographic Magazine on the Hawaiians and their connection to the sea. #shark #tigershark #nature #natureispeaking @natgeocreative @thephotosociety @picoftheday #gratitude #picoftheday #Planetaphoto #PorElPlaneta @ElPlanetaPhoto #beauty
