Fear Not, It’s Playtime!

Upon spotting a predator, most people’s immediate reaction is to get away as quickly as possible. However, the reality is that not all sharks are dangerous to humans. Specifically, most hammerhead sharks, with the exception of their larger, more aggressive counterparts, are generally harmless.

In fact, there has been a total of 18 fatal hammerhead shark attacks worldwide. And, statistically, you are more likely to be involved in a serious car crash than to be attacked by a hammerhead shark. So, when a shark is spotted near the shore, as in this photograph, it’s probably more interested in play than predation.
