Sharks: The Basics

Many people are afraid of sharks. But I say, why?I mean, come on. There are over 500 different shark species, and only around 10 of those species harm humans. Also, did you know that it’s much more likely that you’ll die from a coconut hitting you on the head than being bitten by a shark? Mosquitos are so much more dangerous than sharks. They kill over 1 million people every year from malaria. Do you want to know how many people sharks kill every year? Around 10. And world wide, only about 60 people every year are attacked. Humans on the other hand? Humans kill more than 100 million sharks every year, just from overfishing and shark fin soup. (More on that later.)

  The truth is, sharks are very fascinating creatures. Maybe you like sharks, but your still afraid of them. That’s okay. But sharks are a creature to cheer, not fear. Hopefully this will convince you too.
