00:00Are white sharks as deadly to humans as we imagine? Great white sharks are often seen as
00:04very dangerous to humans, but they are not as deadly as many people think.
00:09These sharks are large and powerful, and they do sometimes bite humans.
00:14However, they do not usually attack on purpose. Most bites happen because the shark is curious
00:20or mistakes a person for a seal. Great whites are responsible for the most unprovoked shark attacks,
00:26but fatal attacks are very rare. Around the world, fewer than 10 people die from shark attacks each
00:32year. In fact, people are more likely to die from lightning strikes, falling coconuts, or even
00:39vending machines. Sharks do not hunt humans, and they usually swim away after one bite.
00:46Movies and media have made them seem more dangerous than they really are.
00:50Great white sharks are important for the ocean's health, and they are not as scary as they seem.
00:56It's important to respect them, but we don't need to be afraid every time we go in the ocean.
