Do you have a favorite shark?

[Brian37]

No shit....... 

I live on the coast, but since Jaws came out, back when I was a kid, I cant go into the ocean above my knees.

Sharks are not something you fuck with. 

Whenever I watch free divers who swim with any kind of shark, outside of whale sharks, I cringe. 

I always think, "Better you than me."

Nonsense.  Sharks are virtually harmless. It's almost impossible to get bitten by a shark, even if you provoke it.

NOT THE POINT DUDE!

Depending on size any species of shark can give you a bad day.

WE interact in their environment. 

If one wants to talk about shark attacks and lottery winnings I get that. But both  are still bad odds.


Nobody should vilify sharks, but at the same time depending on species and size it makes sense to keep your distance.


Sharks should NOT be vilified. I AGREE. But they also should not be presumed kittens.

You are more likely to be killed by a cow 

Yes, most sharks are harmless. But humans are dipsthist and we far to often invade their waters and to say that one shark is placid in response to other species that are aggressive is bullshit.

If one is going to give all species of sharks the benefit of the doubt, I am with you. But that does not mean sharks are are all cartoon cuddly characters. 

It still remains for all animals humans interact with, and have problems with, HUMANS are the problem.
