Lots of people think that sharks are the killers of the sea and that they are very dangerous but no, they are simply just misunderstood.
They're not horrible just because they attack
Sharks do sometimes attack people, but did you know that when you swim you look a lot like a turtle or a sea lion?
Bigger sharks do like to eat turtles and sea lions.
Why do we think of them this way?
We think of them this way because of media. Video games, tv, movies, the internet all made sharks look scary and dangerous. When it comes to movies, sharks are treated like monsters not sea creatures. When there is a shark in a movie I can guarantee that the shark is the "bad guy" Why? Because scary movies sell better then educational ones and until now we did not know very much about them. Here are a few shark movies: 1.Jaws 2.Sharknaido 3.Sharktopus 4.Deep Blue Sea 5.The Reef 6.Open Water And there is many more.
Humans!

Not all sharks
There are a lot of shark species and only a few of them could be harmful. Most sharks will not hurt you but you should never bug a shark no matter what the size. The majority of sharks eat things like: reef fish, crustaceans and cephalopods.
