Sharks

Most people are afraid of sharks, which is reasonable, due to their large mass size, ripping killer teeth and their constant media attention which categorise sharks as “vicious animals”.

The thought or even the sight of a fin gliding through the waters is enough to make people panic and cry for help.

However, I do believe that there is more to this ‘blood driving’ animal, than meets the eye…

Sharks are certainly not as dangerous as people believe they are. The main diet of sharks is seals and turtles (defiantly not humans). The reasons why sharks do attack humans are due to mistaken identity. The wet suit of surfer represents the shininess of a seal's skin while people lying on surfboards and paddling could to resemble a turtle to sharks.

However, when sharks do discover their mistake, they just swim away. It has been said that they do not like the taste of human flesh.

A recent study has also shown that in one year there were 8 people attacked by sharks and there were more than 1 million sharks killed by people… So tell me who should be more afraid of who?
