The movie 'Jaws' is responsible for a terrible amount of bad press about sharks.
In truth, you are more likely to die in a fireworks related death, or get killed by lightning then get bit by a shark!
Chance of getting bitten by a shark - 1 in 3,748,067 Chance of dying in a fireworks related death - 1 in 340,733 Chance of dying due to lighning - 1 in 79,746 Give these guys a chance!
I have seen them when diving in Japan and they have been nothing but friendly.
That is more than I can say about a large amount of the humans I have encountered!!! ;-)
Have a happy and healthy day everyone.
