Have you ever seen JAWS?
If so, you know that this is a film about the stereotypical shark - the BLOODTHIRSTY
MONSTER that devours human flesh at every chance it gets.

12 or 13 species have ever been known to attack humans.
Here are a few statistics that should get you thinking:
Quite the level playing field, isn't it?
Sharks of any species are my favourite animals in the world. They are beautiful
marine creatures that have survived the seas since the dinosaurs were around. I

species are becoming endangered of extinction right now.
Save the sharks!
