]]> Sharks are powerful and scary creatures that lurk in the dark cold seas and most people are terrified of them. The fact is, sharks are not that dangerous and once you get to know them, you’ll learn to appreciate them too. Here are some surprising facts about these sea monsters that will make you realize how amazing they actually are.

They’ve Been Around For a Long Time

Not So Dangerous

Statistics say that for every person killed by a shark, 25 million sharks are killed by people on an annual basis. These scary, large sea creatures are not so dangerous, after all. Most sharks are actually harmless, and they won’t attack a human being on purpose.
