Happy Sharkweek!!

"Facts vs. reality

About six people are killed by sharks every year. Some 50,000 people die of snake bites. Elephants kill 500 people a year.

So why are great whites so feared?

At around 20 feet in length, great whites are the largest predatory fish. They're actually grey on top with a white underbelly.

This coloring pattern helps them hunt because it makes them difficult to spot from above and below -- the white belly blends in with the sky and the dark back blends in with the rocks below.

The distinctive coloring also distorts shark attack data and fuels the great white myth.

"They're the most often documented shark attacks, but not necessarily the most common," says George Burgess, curator of the International Shark Attack File. "Great whites are easily identifiable and any attack by one is sure to be documented. Attacks by other sharks are often not recorded because the species was not identified."

The oversized creature in the movie stuck to a steady diet of beachgoers, but in real life, sharks don't eat people."

OH SHI--- Forgot shark week wstarted today, holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ppl fear sharks cause we dont know much about them atm, and also ppl fear what they cant see comming, you can see an elephant, and other animals, and a snake if you know where to look, or avoid places where snakes like ot hide and go. But sharks, there is basically no warning when they are coming, and dont make a sound either, so thats why ppl are scared of em. I love sharks, cause i have a phobia of large bodies of water, so sharks cant get me xD so i r safe :lol:

Cant wait to watch shark week tonight ^^
