DANGEROUS PREDATORS
Think sharks are dangerous?
The most dangerous sharks are the Great White shark, the Tiger shark, the
Hammerhead shark, the Mako shark and the Bull shark. On average, there
are only about 100 shark attacks each year and only 10 of those result in
a human death.
You
should check it out from their perspective, though! People kill thousands
of sharks in a year for sport and for food. Shark skins are used to
make products like any other leather would be. Up until the 1950's,
shark livers were used as a vitamin A supplement. Shark fin soup and
shark steaks are both eaten in many countries (Mako, seen in the top
photo, is the most popular in
the United States).
So... who's the dangerous predator?
