Kristian Parton, the host of the Shark Bytes YouTube channel, says he is hearing about “way more” shark attacks than ever before.

Shark experts are now warning these influencers to stay away from sharks because the animals are wild and dangerous.

Last year a woman in the Caribbean lost both hands after a bull shark bit her while she tried to photograph it. Two months later, an influencer in Israel was killed after he fed sharks to bring them closer for a video.

Experts say the influencers’ actions send a risky message that it is safe to touch or even ride sharks, which could encourage more dangerous encounters.
