More people are killed per year by bees than by sharks. It's true!
Sharks are incredible creatures, the great survivors of the seas. When dinosaurs were roaming the earth and some even taking to the water, sharks were there, surviving, patiently waiting for their turn as top predator. They're still members of this earth today, and I expect they'll still be there, virtually unchanged, long after humans are no more.
For this reason, I find them fascinating. One of my great ambitions in life is to study them and perhaps go cage-diving with some great whites. Being close to such a powerful creature gives me chills of exhiliration, along with a feeling of my own insignificance on the earth.
I agree whole-heartedly with Nikki. The sea is the realm of the shark, and I cannot blame him for trying to survive if I wander out too far to sea. I always keep in the relative shallows anyway, for I am more of a sunbather rather than a swimmer at the beach (plus, the Atlantic is cold!).
