Shark attacks

I am fed up with self appointed experts claiming that the reason that sharks attack humans is because they mistake swimmers and surfers for seals.

Could it be that every time a shark attacks a seal it is because they have mistaken that seal for a human...?

Shark attacks are pretty rare events, relatively speaking.

There's been over 300,000 tiger attacks over the last 200 years (since records began) in the Indian subcontinent, by comparison. About 1800 people killed by tigers per year.

Tigers are great swimmers too, so can get you in the water- like sharks. There's been incidents where a tiger has swam in in the water to grab fishermen from boats one by by one, with boats with like 6 people on it, killing each person one by one and dragging them to shore. It's almost as if the tiger is saying okay, "I'll have you today.. & you're my breakfast for tomorrow..and you'll be my supper on friday etc.."

Basically if you get attacked by a tiger, your fucked.

The earth is 90% water. Sharks live in the sea.

The human body is also 90% water.

… it’s only a matter of time…

Apparently the Hippo is the one to watch for, more Hippo deaths than the rest of safari animals combined by a factor or lots.

Also, they run, and swim faster than you, so the only chance to beat one in a triathlon is on the bike…

Are tigers a good shag though?

Is there any animal Op does not consider an evil bugger? Groundhog presumably given the (repeated) thread.

QI factlet sharks have been around longer than trees and most popular dinosaurs and

much longer than tigers (by prob 440 million odd years). As for targetting humans We barely register on their scale whereas seals have had a few million years for sharks to develop the taste. Op should volunteer for taste comparison to tackle his fear. Shark takes seal we say science was right. Shark takes Op we know he was right?

"Sharks terrify me "

Supremely evolved which makes them dangerous but "Jaws" has a lot to answer for. They are scary seen in water but so are a lot of big fish.

See Jim Abernathy - shark expert and 'friends' with 15ft tiger shark. Good video on BBC Nov 2021. Not quie puppies but surprisingly close.

Hubby has put every shark movie he could find on, from Jaws to B movies on YouTube (ghost shark was amusing) but I just don't like them, their teeth make me shudder

I love sharks. Great whites are definitely my favourite. Always wanted to go cage diving with sharks. Been my dream since forever lol not brave enough to do open water swim with sharks though. Respect them enough to admire they mysteriousness, but not a fool enough to offer myself as a buffet yet lol

Bees kill more people than sharks.

Yet we humans kill (unsustainably) 100s of millions of sharks every year for shark fin soup.

I'm a known shark fanatic on here and me and K were diving with great whites in South Africa in march 2020 (got back home just on the 12th of march before lock down). If anyone ever wants to see the dive video let me know it was up there with my wedding day )

If tigers, sharks and people are in the water, who eats what?

Very witty...

I remember watching that documentary calls Jaws and had a fascination ever since. I watch Shark Week on Sky TV and every programme about these beasts. I even have an app that tracks them in the oceans. I look at the movement and directions that these buggers take.

Like all threads... People can agree, disagree, post, not post or look elsewhere...

I am fascinated by these evil buggers...

Sharks don’t attack, they either hunt for food, or occasionally use their teeth to check out what’s in the water. It’s just millions of years of evolution doing what it’s programmed to to.

I saw the video where the shark managed to get into the cage with the cameraman. He escaped unhurt luckily. Be careful what you wish for. Some of these sharks are cunning buggers and will gobble you down before you can say Jack Robinson ..

There are naturalists like David Attenborough who help us explore the real miracles of our planet, showing the detailed interplay of life around us. Alongside this light - the Yin of enlightenment - we have the Op who will by anecdote and inference imply every creature on the planet is out to get us (or rather him) by cunning, stealth, tooth and claw. You are safe nowhere and they will get you all. Get them before they get you.

Pray silence Fabbers for the dawn of the Anti-Attenborough - Essex Tom.
