As an aside, it seems disingenuous at best to state that a White/Tiger/Oceanic Whitetip shark is not a "mindless" killer, i.e., their ecological niche all but prohibits them from having any emotional- much less moral extravagance. They remove helpless and vulnerable prey item from the ecosystem. Conspicuously, they are generalist feeders that migrate through the open ocean. ANYTHING is prey to a hungry, opportunistic shark in the open ocean. There is no such thing as "mistaken identity" there.

You erroneously imply that human beings aren't a naturally occurring, tertiary prey item for a handful of pelagic sharks, e.g., that humans "mimic" prey by splashing around. Humans are 100% edible and a wide array of sharks have ALWAYS been known to prey on us. So I fail to see why you proffer exculpatory analysis, i.e., sharks are "dangerous" because they are generalist feeders that have occasion (albeit rarely) to realize a feeding opportunity at our expense.

@kmkfiction2 he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was swimming in water that reported numerous amounts of shark encounters during the hunting season for sharks. I did not say sharks aren't dangerous, I'm saying they aren't mindless killers that movies make them out to be and Lloyd skinner, RIP, most likely was a victim of a hungry shark that thought he was a seal which splashes around like humans swimming.

Sharks do not feed on humans specifically, their main food is a sea lion or a fish, and sometimes it will mistake you as a sea lion. Why do you think most people are not completely eaten by a shark, because once it bites you and realizes its made a mistake, it will let go and most people die from blood loss really. I am not saying sharks are harmless, I'm just saying if you know what you are doing, its not going to attack you mindlessly.

I saw a documentary and the scientist said if your legs are upward like a standing position the lemon shark was less likely to bite you than if you were swimming like a fish, that being said if a shark is hungry don't tempt it.

YouTube...oahusquid.....check out the HUGE tiger shark my son and I ran into while spearfishing in Hawaii last month. Lucky for us she was just curious and not hungry.....probably the same as this video.
@pflarsen
you "dolphins are just as dangerous as sharks" people are hilarious and delusional. Dolphins are wild animals...obviously they arent the family pet, but would you rather have your child swim in the water with dolphins or sharks present? Try not to be so delusional.
