his is why sharks seldom ever eat or consume humans.... ... they don;t like the taste of people... they just bite people in half and move on.....

I suppose I should be relieved that if a shark ever bites me in half, he isn't really eating me, just making sure I'm not poison.

a lot of surfers and divers who have been attacked by sharks ..and survived ...make that same mental journey to try and see the bright side..... they claim it helps them to avoid holding grudges against the sharks.... ....i don;t think i could do that..and if you notice most of the former victims who exhibit that sentiment are men... ... if i ever got bitten by a shark i think i would want to be in a helicopter after that dropping dynamite everywhere that shark was thought to be.. in order to kill it and all it;s friends and family too.... ...it would be the kind of fury hell hath none of.... . ...but i still make sure i look like a human and nothing else whenever i go into the ocean.... just in case the sharks highly evolved sensors can;t pick up on that from a distance.... ;)

I’ve always heard the sharks confuse humans with seals, but we don’t have those in the South!

that;s what they use to say here back in the past.. and we have a lot of hawaiian monk seals all through the islands.... .and they even showed how the sillouette of a surfer or bodyboarder in the water with their arms extended could look like a seal from below.... .but most shark attacks here occur in murkey water or at night when visibility is limited... ..so i tend to think they just swim around testing and checking out anything that moves or smells like food..or gives off an enticing signal... (heart beat - splashing around etc)... .. and the only thing they have with which to test something is their mouth... which is full of teeth....

one of the dumbest most intentionally ignorant things i have ever heard said about sharks is the way the so called "biologists" turned statisticians - tell people to not be afraid of sharks because humans have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than being attacked by a shark.....⚡... 😲

here in hawaii lighting strikes are rare..... there has been one known fatal lightning strike here in 40 years..... but in that same time period there have been hundreds of fatal shark attacks documented.... ....i think it;s just a matter of where you are ..when you are there... and what you are doing at the time... ..

That might be technically true. And who really worries about being struck by lightning? But if those Red Cross swimming lessons taught me anything, it was not to get into open water during a thunderstorm. Or with a shark.

Bull sharks are probably the most feared shark species in the southern states. They’re not big sharks, but they’re big enough to kill, especially when they get over six feet. The same is true with alligators.

that;s the one i;m glad we don;t have here.... . the only shark that comes close in aggression to the bull shark is ocean white tips... but they never come in close enough to shore to be a problem for people in the water.... .however - they are known to be the shark most likely to attack the surviors of shipping accidents and who are left swimming for their lives after a ship sinks.... they are also the sharks who most often take fish off the line after we have hooked them and are trying to reel them in.....

Last year I accidentally caught (and released) a juvenile blacktip shark inshore. I couldn’t have been in more than two or three feet of water and was using a small live shrimp for bait under a popping cork. I thought I had a world record redfish for a moment until I realized what was going on….🤔 Otherwise, I occasionally catch a bonnethead shark. Those look like mini hammerheads. They’re fun to catch but mainly serve as a nuisance for intended species.
 
My daughter went diving in a cage off the coast of South Africa (the daughter who is now a missionary in Chad, Africa). She said that the bigger ones would bump the cage but they weren't all that aggressive. She has always been deathly afraid of whales and that was the closest she could come to curing herself.
