There is so much we can learn from sharks.

Their research on batteries is amazing.

If I were a shark, I would be annoyed at humankind for placing large and noisy (and permanent) machines in MY environment.

I knew “climate change” had to be in there somewhere...

The only “climate change” I see is more mass media hot air.

“Doesn’t shark taste like salmon?”

No. But the orca have a taste for Great White Shark liver and can expertly remove a shark liver on the fly without damaging any other part of the shark.

Once you go into salt water you are no longer at the top of the food chain. All of the signs and warning flags in the world will not get the message across to all of the people.

I had no idea sharks were battery-powered.

This is a complete and utter and total lie

If they’re not lying they need to prove what they’re talking about which of course they can’t

And I’m not talking about incidents where a shark swim under a surfboard

I’m only talking about worldwide incidents where a shark actually took a bite out of somebody or killed them

We’re talking about a dozen a year or so worldwide

This writer has it backwards. The ocean is where sharks live. It's their natural habitat. We're the interlopers.

Sharks are going to do what sharks do. Great whites aren't the only sharks in the sea. Lots of other species of them out there. White Tips and Bull sharks. real aggressive buggers they are. Tiger sharks, loads of them. Hammerheads. Boy there's a strange looking critter. If you're going to be swimming in the sea you're swimming in their world. You're taking a chance. Don't complain when they take a bite out of you.

As I understand it the same sort of thing is happening in California.

It is, and in California there will be more shark attacks than here in New England because our water is colder and swimmers don't spend as much time in the water as they would in the warmer water states. Those states have a lot more people out in the water.

Even our surfers here in New England wear wet suits because of the colder water.

IMHO Some Bull sharks ,given the opportunity will immediately go on the attack, whereas White sharks tend to spend more time than bulls in analyzing the prey.
By the time a white shark is ready to take a sample bite, you could back on the shore drying off from the colder water.-Tom
