Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3524: Paddleboarder's Encounter with Spinner Shark - Body Language Tells (VIDEO, PHOTOS)





As luck and the internet would have it, this new viral video stands in dramatic contrast to yesterday's post where the fictional great white shark of Jaws required acting fearful - and it fell short. In this video, we see Maximo Trinidad paddleboarding off the coast of Jupiter, Florida where he had a close encounter with a (real) spinner shark.



During 0:16 we see Mr. Trinidad's eyes (eyelids) opened very widely, his central forehead contracted and elevated along with his inner (medial) eyebrows.










In this close up image of the same moment, Maximo's mid-face is tensed with dramatic nasal flaring and the corners of his mouth pulled out (laterally) and slightly downward.
