Did you know?
Sharks are never sick. They seem to be immune to all diseases - they are even not effected by cancer.
A lot of people are afraid of sharks. Well you technically you should not be that much. Only 6 people per year die due to shark attacks and far more people die by a cow. Or even more people per year die by a hippo.
Sharks have been around for a long time on earth. Somehow they are immune to cancer. Sometimes I wish people could extract the abilities of certain animals and implant them into themselves. Awesome regeneration abillites like lizards for example. They sometimes cut off their own tail to distract predators.
Sharks can catch up on the smallest scent of blood over several kilometers. You can lure them by pouring blood into the water. But if you are perfectly fine and diving sharks can also be very calm creatures. Of course it is not recommended to do this without proper safety measurements but well, all I want to say is - they are not that dangerous at all.
I hope you liked these facts about sharks as much as I did!
