Why should we revere this animal?



  • Sharks have existed for 100 million years -- before dinosaurs! The oldest shark lived about 400 million years ago. Sharks rule the sea, HUMANS don’t.
  • Many people fear sharks because of sensationalized stories, this may be hard to conceive, but sharks are not dangerous! More people are killed by bee stings than by shark attacks and in the cases of attacks, more than 90% of people who are attacked by sharks survive the attack.
  • Human beings kill million's of sharks every year for their skin, fins, meat and liver oil. This would imply that HUMANS are FAR MORE dangerous than sharks.
  • Two-thirds of the brain of sharks is dedicated to its sense of smell, NOT THEIR VISION.
  • There are approximately 75 species of shark on the endangered list.

Rethink your fears

A little scary? Even I, a fervent shark supporter and lover of all sharks shivered a little at this candid view. You might think it would, but this capture should not serve to reaffirm our socially driven fears of sharks, instead it should further our reverence of their prowess. We should learn to honor their right to their environments. This surfer was left unscathed. This shark was merely passing through, this further demonstrating humans are not a desirable food source.
