Are All Types of Sharks Man Eaters?

Movies like "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea" have helped to give a bad reputation to the sharks. If one takes into account all the facts in comparison with the version of Hollywood, the question we can ask ourselves is: "Are all kinds of man eating sharks?" Here are some facts about sharks!

Fact 1: "Did you know that 80% of shark species are either unable or likely to not even come into contact with human beings?" In fact, most of the 375 to 475 known types of sharks are soft and much smaller than the ferocious Great White shark.

Fact 2: "Did you know that 80% of all types of sharks are less than 6.5 feet in length while 50% of them under 3.5 meters long." This simply means that this small sharks is likely to be without interest to human prey.

Fact 3: "Did you know that's not true that the shark's largest, most likely to attack humans and referred to the dining room as the man?" In fact, the two largest sharks living in our oceans are also known as a gentle giant? Yes, while the whale shark and the basking shark are actually dining on plankton explain the fact that human beings do not even look appetizing to them.

Fact 4: "Did you know that of all species of sharks, there are four guys who are more prone to attack humans?" As you can see, four species is far from being even close to the 375 to 475 types of sharks that ended sharing the bad reputation of a man dining. While 20% of all shark species are considered potentially dangerous to humans, there are only a few that can attack human prey of the confusion or when they feel threatened. These species are: the Great White shark, the tiger shark, bull sharks and hammerhead sharks Great.

Fact 5: "Did you know that shark attacks are not planned, as in" Jaws "? Sharks brain is not big enough to" think things through "as human beings. In fact, the only shark react by instinct. He is obviously something in the water, which is hungry and may decide to taste. can be a man, a can, a plaque or anything else in this case. More than likely, after the first bite, was released from his human prey, because it is too bony for their own pleasure, unlike a seal or sea lion.

Fact 6: "Did you know that some sharks can be trained in aquariums?" In fact, it's done in Chicago John G. Shedd Aquarium. They have not been training them to perform tricks in a show, but for food. Desde que poner todas sus especies de tiburones en el mismo tanque, a fin de evitar un frenesí de alimentación, que han capacitado a cada especie para responder a su propia llamada auditiva, así como un color y alto contraste símbolo de la alimentación cuando su momento has arrived. The most sensitive species is the Zebra shark that responds well to hold and act as a well-trained puppy, which enjoys Petter in his stomach and on the snout. As you can see, not all sharks attack humans.

Fact 7: "Did you know that most types of sharks have made impressive sight?" The species that has the best view is in fact the shark hammer because of the position of your eyes on the far side of his way to hammer snout. The species that has one of the poorest, the view is actually the Greenland shark, as it prefers to swim near the ocean floor and in colder waters, it has real parasites that grow in her eyes, is almost blinding. Although most sharks have a better view than us, who can still confuse and attack humans thought of them as a stamp, especially when you're lying on his stomach on a surfboard. Why? It is simply because from the sharks tend to go Full Tilt below their dams to be taken by surprise, the shadows against the light plays tricks with your vision.

Now that you read all these facts, one can understand why the experts do not like the fact that all types of sharks were given a bad reputation as man-eaters by Hollywood.
