Public Speech on Sharks

Sharks What are they? Big scary monsters? Do you think of sharks culmination out of the depths at you? Our active imaginations have made sharks into modern day monsters. But do you authentically know what your chances are of getting attacked by a shark? We all know this nigh sharks, hold outt we? Theyre vicious, theyll waste anything, they all want to eat people, and theyre everywhere. Well, just think about this. Most shark species (about 80%) have never even attacked a human.And of the ones that do, it adds up to about nose candy people,each year,worldwideand most of these victims survive. In fact, most sharks are small, harmless and dont hot anywhere near us. So now that we know the facts, lets determine a critical more closely at the life of a shark and how they really behave. First things first how keen are they to get themselves nearly human flesh? Hardly at all, as it shepherds crooks out. Their job is to feel by eating, breathing and reproducing just like any ot her animal. They eat fish and other leatherneck animals.People are not part of their normal diet. Some sharks are even plankton-eaters. And they dont eat all that much According to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, sharks that have been studied eat about 2% of their body weight per day slightly less than most humans. That means a 45-kilogram (100 pound) shark would in all likelihood eat food equal to about five hamburgers a day And think about this If sinlessness sharks really were attacking humans for food, why is it that nearly 75% of these attacks are non-fatal? Why do they time period eating?The answer, according to most experts is that theyre looking for something with more fat. People are too scrawny. And thats why after it takes a first bite,a great white will usually turn up its nose at whatever remains. So why exactly do they attack, if they dont want us? About the only time sharks attack humans on purpose is when their ground is invaded or their courtship ri tuals are interrupted. Anyone with a pet knows that any animal can become angry when strangers invade its space. Sharks are just the same.Most other shark attacks are probably also cases of mistaken individualism a swimmers flapping feet and hands may look like the movements of a fish darting through the weta human, especially one wearing a black wet suit and flippers, may look something like a seal. But dont even assume that because you can aggravate them, that in that locations danger wait on your beach. The beaches arent full of great white sharks, just waiting for us. Far from it. In fact, great whites are relatively uncommon, and they prefer cooler waters. Whats more, in some parts of their range, great whites are close to being endangered.
