Some of the ways we make it easier to attack swimmers and surfers, and even just waders are feeding the sharks, taking away their food supplies, swimming in the water they are also in, and taking more and more of the ocean.
Feeding Sharks may be partly to blame for the rising death tolls.
We feed sharks to get them to come closer to our sharks so we can see them better, and get better pictures or videos. We bait them with no intentions of actually giving them food, and we feed the, so they will come closer to our boats so we can tag them. We want to learn more …show more content…
These sharks are gigantic monsters of the sea, yet harmless to humans in the respect that they don’t attack them. On the other hand, if you ever find yourself underneath a whale shark you would be very much crushed. It is a very fine thing that they like to stay in the water.
Sharks are much faster underwater than we are.
If we are feeding sharks, and somehow they get the idea to try to eat us instead then they will most likely win. They are not only much stronger than you are (generally. Of course, there are small sharks that you could likely over power.), but also much faster underwater. If you tried to swim away, even the slowest shark around (the greenland shark) could probably injure you before you got away.
The same goes for divers and surfers and swimmers; Sharks could almost always out run them, so to speak.
The Greenland sharks moves at 1.7/mph at top speed, while the average scuba diver is moving at 1/mph normally. These sharks tend to eat seals, and have never been documented to attack humans. Though they are huge, and probably wouldn't find it hard to eat us at their maximum 21f
