Yeah...if you get in the water you accept the possibility that you could be injured by any number of creatures living there.  If you are afraid of sharks then stay out of the water.

Fear of sharks is pretty stupid since you have to enter a shark's world to be in danger of a shark attack.  The odds of a shark breaking into your house to snack on your limbs or stumbling onto one in a dark alley are pretty damn slim.  

Of all the things in this world to be afraid of this is one of the easiest potential dangers to avoid.

That's why we have so many different animals in Oz that can get you.  No sharks nearby?  No worries.  We have box jellyfish, sea snakes, and crocs

Not near the water?  Snakes, spiders, and drop bears.

Not to mention Australians.

That hypothetical megalodon jaw (only the shed teeth are know from fossil record) is now generally regarded as greatly exaggerating megalodon’s size, by perhaps half.   Megalodons are now regarded as not Very closely related To the great white as Was once thought, so scaling up the great white by ratio of tooth sizeS gives misleading impression of megalodon size.
