Why The World Without Sharks Might be Your Biggest Nightmare

"You wouldn't drive 45 minutes for a back of chips"

Meanwhile in Arizona:

The spider jump got me, but as I hear the FNAF jumpscare started playing it slowly but surely looked goofy afterwards

12:21 made my heart actually explode 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤

I am back

Nah when i hear sharks i think about my fellow autistic people and our love for ikea shark

A couple days ago, people keep posting about the megalodon's re-emergance

A woman I know should be publishing a research paper on shark social behaviours sometime next year or the one after. Since discussing too much can jeopardize her paper I won't go into it too much, but her primary focus was on the social behaviours between sharks in the wild and other species. Her focus was reef sharks, though other species have been studied due to living in the area she was researching, and her dives last I talked to her involved giving belly rubs to each shark in the group as they bumped and tackled her like a pack of excited puppies. Needless to say she's fairly convinced sharks are capable of social behaviours with other species. Though I can't discuss her most interesting findings at this time due to the volatility of the academic sphere and to avoid risking her future funding. I hope research like hers and many others into sharks and their less violent behaviours help encourage more people to want to protect and live alongside these animals. They're very much like dogs, and I almost feel that goes as far as the danger they represent to humans, I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage of shark encounters resulting in an attack wasn't dissimilar to the percentage of dog encounters resulting in an attack. Which is to say very low yet just high enough that it makes sense people would be occasionally weary of them.

So what you're saying is that sharks are the wolves of the sea?

Sharks still scare me but its never been specific to sharks, its just the idea of water i cant see in and knowing my place in the food chain, at the top until i add myself to their food chain

They could be called the water vulture

Dolphins are waaaaaay more dangerous than sharks will ever be. With sharks all you gotta worry about is one of them mistaking you for food. Humans are large enough that, unless you look like something they eat, they’ll avoid actually attacking you. Most predators are like this to an extent since attacking something that’s not food takes energy that they might not get back if you end up either getting away or driving them off. On top of that they’re risking injury. So, yeah, most predators won’t attack unless threatened. Herbivores on the other hand… 😅
