Scuba With Bill

Shark attacks are extremely rare. People are more likely to be injured by a hamster or killed by lightning than by a shark.

An interesting article from the Associated Press about sharks. Seems the National Aquarium in Baltimore would like to help people understand these wonderful animals.

Shark populations around the world have been on the decline. Either caught as by-catch in long line or net fishing, or caught specifically just for their fins, sharks are in danger. They don’t get much sympathy because of films like Jaws and the natural fear they inspire but they are an important part of the ecosystem.
