people when they talk about ANY wild animal:
>don't go near them, don't touch them, give them space and don't give them food, this is for their and your own safety.

people when they talk about sharks
>go on sweetie, give the shark this steak while wearing this seal costume, remember, they don't attack humans, they are just like little puppies who won't hurt a fly, you shouldn't be afraid of them.

why are humans like this?

also shark thread.

it's kinda sad that most shark picture results are now AI generated garbage

Most sharks are entirely harmless. "Man-eater"* sharks are not harmless. Great whites, tigers and bulls are not harmless but they're also unintentional killers. They explore the world through bites. Sometimes, they explore people. They don't hunt or even eat people, though. They "explore" once, realise you're not a seal and fuck off to find a seal to eat. Unless they're American, people don't usually have enough blubber for a shark to want to eat then. Sharks require an extreme number of calories.
90% of shark attacks are from just those three species and 90% of those three-species' attacks do not result in death and 100% of those deaths are caused by blood loss or infection, not because a shark ate a mofo.
>*as said, they don't actually eat people; they bite once and leave when they notice you're not a seal.
All the same, do not play around with nonharmless sharks just as you wouldn't play around with a grizzly or puma.

>that American burn
This is objectively hilarious because the U.S. actually logs the highest number of unprovoked shark bites globally each year (mostly non-fatal ones in Florida) and now I think it's because they're so fat that they look like walruses in the water lol

protip: for a shark, human flesh tastes the same as a sea lion cub or the bumper of a 1969 cadillac fleetwood.

Not me. I taste like salty milk and coins.

Why are pajeets like this?

>t. shark apologist
We still don't know fuck all about shark behavior and they are much smarter than we think. There was a case in Australia where a guy kicked a shark in the head and it came back several minutes later to bite that specific guy.
You say exploratory but they know very well what we are. It's usually aggression or territorial. Don't forget they are also the garbage disposals of the sea. "We don't have blubber" is cope. If its meat they will eat it.

Sweetheart, those are the smaller sharks. They will absolutely bite people and try to eat them but they can't cuz they're small. Whites, tigers and bulls are surprisingly picky about what they eat and they do not scavenge. They eat blubbery mammals almost exclusively.

You're fat.

Tiger sharks will eat anything and everything they find. Whites and bulls eat far more than just mammals, such as fish, other sharks, rays, and seabirds.

There are many cases where the shark consumes the victim. In 2023 a guy in Egypt was fully consumed by a tiger shark. You’re overcorrecting. Just because they don’t usually eat people doesn’t mean they won’t or never do, just like how grizzly bear attacks aren’t usually predatory but plenty of people have been eaten by grizzlies

This is completely fucking wrong. All of them will scavenge and it is a huge part of the diet of white and tiger sharks in particular. Also only white sharks specialise in blubbery prey. Tiger sharks are anything but picky and bull sharks hardly ever eat anything blubbery
