On Sharks


This article explains that sharks have a bad reputation but that there are a lot more dangerous things. You could die more easily falling out of bed or by eating contaminated food. Dogs are the 4th deadliest animal on earth while sharks don't even rank in the top 10.  They are far from being the world's deadliest animal!  Are you surprised by this?

I would have guessed that humans were the deadliest - but also knew that mosquitoes are deadly too.

Not surprised at all, but I've reduced the odds of the shark attack - I don't swim! ;)

Not really!
You must be in the sharks environment for it to be deadly but the others are right here with us and sharing ours~

Not surprised at all! And I've always thought that humans are up at the top.

not really shocked, insects will be the last thing standing at worlds end lol,, but its sad that man is at the top and that we kill our own kind so readily.

Ah ... but if sharks could live out of water and walk down the street whilst I was reading my newspaper, they'd be quite deadly then! Worse than dogs, I think. Spielberg never made a film about wild dogs attacking people whilst swimming in the sea.

God bless.

Not surprised at all. We're land animals, which means we're only in danger of sharks when we are in the water. :-) On the other hand, mosquitoes and dogs... :-)

Greetings from London.

Interesting facts !

Sandra Cox said...

Dogs? I didn't see that one coming.

Look at those mosquitos showing off.

It's not surprising about the sharks as we're mostly on land, but interesting and a bit chilling that man is second only to mosquitoes...

sharks get such a bad rap when all they are doing when they bite someone is seeing if its food and they tend to leave after that bite

dog attacks are usually a problem because people are not often aware of the warning signs dogs give off. when it comes to kids and dogs, its a no, but too many people leave kids alone with dogs and then wonder why someone gets hurt :/

Not surprised at all. They do get a bad rap but you know if you counted how many times someone enters the ocean in their life (not counting me cause I don't do it often)....they would have gotten bitten more than once...don't you think?

Jenn Jilks said...

Right now we're a bit more worried about mosquitos and tent caterpillars!
