Sharks

The bottom line is that sharks live in the water and we do not, it is their home, not ours. Sharks do not necessarily hunt people, we don’t have a good ratio of meat to bone to be on their menu and it is also suggested that we don’t even taste good. Unfortunately for us sharks need to be able to take a bite in order for them to taste us, just like we do when we eat. The sharks main objective is to consume as much fat and protein as possible with the least amount of effort. Sometimes we just get in the way or are mistaken for something else such as a seal or a turtle. From the murky depths below we are just a silhouette in the sea.
