The Great White Shark - Friend or Foe?

The great white shark is the most feared animals in the ocean. It’s a known man eater, and it’s everywhere in the waters. Great white sharks are a very popular shark, because people find it both scary and interesting. This shark is very different from the rest of the sharks. Why is this one particular shark such a predator to everything, and why does it always seem to catch humans more than any other shark.

Two people were fiercely attacked last year by a great white or great whites. How come two different guys, both surfing on the ocean waves, they had nothing in common with each other, and both bitten in half by a great white? What are we doing to provoke them to kill us? Do they have a taste for our flesh, or do they just like to hunt us? Nobody really knows the answers to these questions, they can only guess. 

Great whites are one of the largest hunters in the ocean. They are carnivores just like every other shark out there, but they seem to attack us more and more. So this brings us back to the question “Do they hunger for our flesh or do they just like to hunt us?” The best guess that can be thought up right now is the fact that they’re hungry, and they see us swimming or surfing, so they attack. When a person swims they tend to kick their legs and swing their arms underwater even when their staying in one spot. When a great white sees this it automatically thinks “Food!” Normally when an animal, a seal for instance, is injured they flop all around and stay in one spot. A great white does not understand what is doing this until they get their one bite in. All sharks take a bite out of their prey for a taste test, but unfortunately, the great white has a rather large mouth and when it takes a bite that person usually dies.
