Sharks have patrolled the waters for over 400 million years, and while they are powerful creatures, they actually have more reasons to fear us. What intrigues you most about sharks?

Where our fear of sharks came from, learnt behavior, TV, News reports blown out of proportions, Wifes tales, people's mind's, ignorance.

One of my favourite memes is the one with the shark going, "Oh no, that human is trapped in a cage! Don't worry, human, I'll save you!!!"

I can for one say the Jaws movie did a number on me, I watched it at a young age and to this day I have an instinctive fear and insecurity when swimming in any sort of body of deep or ocean water.... thinking it's beneath me - the bright red bulging gums and the rows of teeth don't help the case either for me....

I’m the same. I watched Jaws around 87 or 88 as a ten year old and I hated the water after that. Didn’t live near the sea but was scarred to go in a pool and even take a bath! Anyway years later..I’d obviously overcome this fear..or so I thought. I was lying in a bath and for some reason my wife opened bathroom door and closed the light! I panicked and nearly had heart attack! I hadn’t seen Jaws for years so hadn’t even thought about it…until that moment and suddenly remembered the first death scene at night with that girl!!

1) they bite, they tear pieces off, or limbs 2) the sea is not our environment, it’s not our territory, it’s theirs. 3) The ocean is vast and deep. There is a lot unknown about it. That summarizes my fear

Totally agree my friend. People trying to deny as predators which see us and perceives us as food are so silly. They should try to swim with them 😂

I’ve had many run ins with sharks surfing here in Hawaii.. both peaceful sort of and one terrifying.. I once paddled up a big wave and a tiger shark was in the same wave . It was easily 15 ft and old.. but it just cruised by me slowly and kept going. Another was an aggressive shark that surfaced near us .. all the fish jumped out of the water and the shark surfaced and vibrated then started chasing fish.. it nailed a huge honu or turtle and we paddled in .. we practically live in the ocean here so dealing with sharks have a few basic rules.. don’t panic..and if you do get away from me 🤙

Jaws popularised it.

I am not afraid of sharks, I am afraid of their 5 rows of 30 *sharp teeth* 😅 Facts👍🏻

There are fears of all sorts of things like snow and butterflies too. However fear of dark, bugs, lightning, and sharks is one thing then general public is another. True media literacy and STEM literacy even in first world countries are not well known. Thanks for this. I love learning.

from being a smart human being, and realizing a shark is like an alligator. Huge, ancient, and WILL EAT YOU.

Funny how sharks been in ocean for 400,000,000 years but once Chinese have money they are in danger of going extinct

interesting explanations and the video too🙌

This video is pretty informative, it's a shame that people who are actually scared of sharks cant see it :/ . Such videos should be made in a way that people who face this phobia can see it and gain info.

I think the human fear of sharks comes from one thing; we don't want to be bitten or eaten! Being killed and eaten by mammalian carnivores, cannibals, stung to death by Africanised honey bees, taken for a quick dip by crocodilians, envenomed by reptiles and my mother-in-law's visits are also things I try to avoid. As would anybody who has met my mother-in-law.

Great video 👌

Where our fear of sharks came from: "we're going to need a bigger boat"

Shark infested waters they said, well I mean... that's where sharks live and you're the one invading their territory but hey.... They do bite though

ironically, most of us are the real villain of this planet.

The first time I ever watched shark week it was a documentary on "the worst shark attack in history" when a crew survived the sinking of a ship they were on. The narrator of the TRAILER said "when the *ship name I don't remember* sank, the surviving crew prayed they would be found. *Cut to sharks swimming below* Unfortunately... They were"

Jaws ... and growing up by the beach that had shark nets and great whites patrolling 🦈 .

was wondering why the comments were so recent, nevermind...

I mean just look at them, even if you never heard of them, have no prejustice and see them for the first time its immediatly obvious they are dangerous, shaped like a torpedo, the fins, the million teeth

Its like, poking or stonning a bee hive and blaming the bee for stinging ... Thats what happens when you interfere into someones' habitat and lure them ourselves.

Sharks should be more afraid of greedy, careless humans than we are of their predatory behavior which they use to survive.

A fear of sharks seems healthy

Don’t understand people have “fears” of this beautiful animal, it’s have been marked as a human killer which it’s not, same whit spiders and other crawlers, when all comes to all, think those animals have so much to fear from humans, we as a race are the only ones capable of understanding em and how to avoid dangerous encounters, enjoy em from a distance not invade there space, we are filling more and more of the world, so bear that in mind next time you encounter something your fear, most likely they fear you as well

I know that sharks are harmless but I’m terrified

I'm just afraid of running into anything big while swimming haha

even the cold blooded predators is nothing in front of humans😈

ugh, i hate those shark killers andhunters!

Humans are the real hunters

I love sharks but I also know to leave them alone

It doesn't matter the probability but the possibility. People who got eaten by sharks probably thought they were safe bc of the statistics. Fear could have saved them.

We ve been eaten and attacked by both sea and rivee fiag beforw. All fish with big teeth are sort of gross and scary .

Who's not afraid of being eaten?

No one mentioned blahaj?

Oxymoron?! Lol

I always thought they had big stupid eyes that made them super cute looking

I mean, if you don't want to get into a shark attack, go to a pool.

We are primitive 🤷‍♂️ Animals like humans also have genetic flaws Including defects by life events. Non the less what is true facts coexisting our discoveries to learn about ourselves including naturure and, animals including balances of the ecosystem we share together are astronomical even limitless.
