Sharks are considered to be the most dangerous creatures in the ocean. If a shark attacks someone, the chances of that person surviving are very low. But do you know that sharks are afraid of humans? Now the question arises that when sharks are afraid of humans, then why do they attack humans? Today we will tell you in what situations sharks attack humans.
Shark
Hundreds of small and big species of fish are found inside the sea. Among them, shark fish is considered the most dangerous fish. Because shark is the fastest hunting creature in the sea. Its pointed teeth are so sharp that they can cut even a boat. Let us tell you that usually sharks hunt only fish and many creatures living in the sea. But when a surfer goes to dive in the waves of the sea, then in that situation sharks sometimes make humans their prey. Now the question is why are sharks afraid of humans.
why do sharks attack
According to information, when a swimmer goes wearing a swimming suit, sharks mistake him for a seal (a sea creature) and attack him. Scientist H. David Baldridge first suggested the scientific theory of sharks mistaking humans for seals, which is also called the Mistaken Identity Theory. Let us tell you that there are about 530 species of sharks. There are many subspecies among them too. Everyone’s behavior, way of sensing things and hunting is also different. White sharks hunt in absolutely clear water.
It is said that if you are swimming in the sea, you should not swim alone at that time, there should be at least two people in the sea. Because in such a situation one person can help the other. According to a report, in the year 2009, sharks attacked about 83 people across the world even without being provoked. This figure has remained the same on an average from 2013 to 2017.
shark curious
Let us tell you that sharks being curious is also a reason for attacks on humans. According to a report, sharks learn about their potential prey on their own. Sharks are the only creatures in the sea that are the most curious. In such a situation, they often bite the things around them and see if what is around them is actually their prey. According to researcher Naylor, sharks are not interested in hunting humans. Not only this, sharks like to live at the bottom of the sea, only big sharks live at the top in the open sea.
