Sharks attack

Sharks are many different kinds, sizes and weights. But when we can know if this shark is dangers or not, or how danger is he? Sharks are so different, like we can’t compare the white shark with the bonnet head shark, because each one has attitude and targets. From 350 or so shark species, 80% are unable to hurt people because it’s less than 1.6 meter. the rest of them attack people or fishers or divers fore examples like, protecting their area or accidental or sometimes associated with feeding behavior. Furthermore, types of attack are different as well as kind of sharks are. And to know about these attacks, we will name some of it. First, hit and run, bump and bite and sneak attack. (www.mote.org).
It’s another world inside the darkness of the ocean, this blue world has only one king, and this king is the shark. That’s why it’s difficult to swim, without thinking about this threat, or feeling that something is watching you. People usually enjoy going to the beach, or go diving, snorkeling or fishing. But definitely those people must take care, and learn the safety information’s like check your Ocean Conditions at your local beach, for ocean safety conditions. Swim near a lifeguard. Avoid swimming in the evening or night when there is no lifeguard on duty. Sharks normally feed at this time. Avoid swimming alone. Sharks are attracted to bait fish. In Florida the baitfish typically have off white or yellow bellies and shiny scales. Avoid swimming when the ocean visibility is poor. Look for signs of baitfish. This is indicated by groups of small fish normally gathering together in a group. Baitfish can appear like a dark moving cloud in the water.
Look for signs of large fish in the water. This could indicate sharks. Look for birds,
Birds often eat remains of fish or live baitfish. (www.sharksurvivor.com).
Otherwise, people are hunting sharks around the world, so the simple question is, who’s the victim, the sharks or the people. And I thing that the shark is the victim for many reason, first we went to the shark’s home, and we start sharing the fish with it, and finally we have to remember the damage we made when we spreading out the oils field around the oceans.
Basically, it is as important for man to recognize and respect the importance of sharks in our environment, as it is any other living species on this planet. Sharks are important as an indicator species which can help us to better manage irreplaceable natural resources on which we all depend. Sharks also play an important role to keep other species in check and therefore, maintain a critical balance within the fragile ocean environment. Immune to most all disease, including cancer... sharks are the subject of intensive medical research that could some day benefit man.
And also, sharks help to maintain a healthy marine fisheries environment by mostly preying on the sick, injured, weak or diseased. And finally, despite a mostly undeserved reputation as "man-eaters", sharks are indeed one of the most beautiful, fascinating and powerful creatures on this planet. Ultimately, their preservation will ensure ours... and likewise, their destruction will ensure the eventual destruction of our ocean's on which all mankind depends.
