      Sharks aren’t as vicious and bloodthirsty as they are often made out to be in movies and TV.

      Sharks are just like other animals – they need to eat, but they’ll only eat enough to keep them swimming because hunting can be a very exhausting activity.

      In fact, some sharks don’t even have razor-teeth like the great white and other sharks. Basking sharks and whale sharks may be enourmous, but they have evolved to filter feed on tiny crustaceans called plankton, meaning that they are no threat to humans!
