Shark Don’t Attack Tourists All The Time

Fear of sharks keeps a thousand people away from enjoying the ocean. This fear shared by millions impressed the public consciousness with the 1975 release of the movie Jaws and, eternalize by films like open water and the shallows ever since. It is a large fear that is largely unfounded. All incidents related to sharks are rare in 2016, the INTERNATIONAL SHARK ATTACK FILE shows that there were 81 unprovoked outbreaks, only four were harmful. The reality is that sharks are, not the mindless killer they are portrayed to be. They are animals with seven different senses and structures made entirely of cartilage. Some sharks are capable of reproducing without sex and some can accurately navigate across the ocean.

Sharks play a vital role as apex predators. The majority of sharks are harmless. Many people imagine the word “shark” thrashing great whites, their open jaws lined with indented teeth and wiped with, blood. Majority sharks are smaller than humans and instinctively avoid contact with them.

There are three largest shark species (the whale shark, the basking shark, and the mega mouth shark) are live on a diet up predominantly of plankton. In the two most important countries like FIJI and SOUTH AFRICA, tourists dive safely with these species, without the security of the cage. Naturally, humans are not sharks food. Sharks have been around 400 and 450 million years, at that time, numerous variety of species, have evolved to hunt specific target, not one of they are fixed to react to humans as a source of food. For most species, humans are automatically off the menu. Larger sharks like great white and bull sharks do not intentionally hunt people for food.

Many scientists are on the belief that attacks are a case of mistaken identity. Many scientists are against this theory, arguing that they are too intelligent. Because of their intelligence, they confuse people for prey. Humans smell nothing like seals and sharks have an amazing developed sense of smell.

Most attacks are simply reacted with curiosity. Sharks use their teeth to investigate an object because they don’t have hands. The real fact is that very few sharks attack victims are eaten. The most amazing thing is that people are more dangerous animals of all. According to a report, between 1984 and 1987, 6,339 people reported being bitten by another human in New York City. On the other hand, across the entire unites state, only 45 people are injured (just injured not killed) by sharks at the same time period. So you have more to fear from your fellow riders then you do from a dip in the sea.

If you are still nervous, confused, so don’t be worry about this problem. There are several easy steps you can take to minimize the risk of a shark attack. First is to take off any shiny jewelry that can easily be mistaken for the shimmering scales of a great fish. Second is to keep you away from water at dawn and dusk. It is a famous theory that the yellow color attracts sharks.
