Are Sharks REALLY Dangerous?

Sharks are normally not dangerous instead they are beautiful and awesome animals that do not come up and bite or attack you. Even the Great White, the Bull or the Tiger Shark are not as bad as some people think. The risk of being attacked by a shark is too small to be concerned about it when diving. It is more likely to have a car accident or being attacked by other animals or even your dog or cat. If a shark attacks or bite a human there is always a reason they don’t do it because they are hungry. Even when they are hunting, which is what they normally do, they look for a fish or any other creature that are eatable for them. They know we are not what they want to eat. They learn by observation and each they we enter in the water with them they learn something about us. Even though they sometimes see us as a threat and swim away, they are starting to trust us.

They definitely don’t mean to bite us when they do. And when they do it and realize we are not food they let go immediately. That’s why the majority of shark attacks are not fatal. And the fatal attacks, in which people die, is generally because of blood loss not because the shark ate the person. According to statistics only 5 to 12 people die each year out of around 50 to maximum 100 incidents.

If you were a fish then I would change this blog. But we are not. In the beginning, we were aliens for sharks but now the more we spend time with them the more they trust us and we trust them. Unfortunately Shark fishing is interfering. And so, for more than 400 million years, Sharks are afraid.

Anyway, we now starting to understand these magnificent animals and we are discovering that sharks are more charismatic and sometimes curious animals, but not dangerous “lethal human fillers”. And there should be something going on.

So the answer is Sharks aren’t too dangerous, specially when you know how to handle them, or at least not to us.

So what you guys think?
