Sharks aren't that dangerous of a threat

# data[].attributes.body
Humans see sharks as apex predator of the sea as they rarely attack humans. Sharks kill an average of 10 people a year, but more die from other causes. For example an average 150 people every year die from falling coconuts. There are other animals that are a bigger threat to humans than sharks. The U.S. averages just 16 shark attacks each year and one shark-attack fatality every two years. On the other hand, there are more people die from lightning strikes than shark attacks with 37 people killed from lightning strikes each year. “While sharks kill an average of less than one person a year in the U.S. and less than six worldwide”. so there are a lot more fatalities from other causes than sharks.

People are a threat to sharks, about 1/4 of the population of sharks are endangered by humans. Fisherman kill sharks  for money and cultural value they kill sharks with a practice called shark finning. Humans should protect sharks. Sharks have been on earth for a lot longer than dinosaurs were and are beneficial. A shark can be as small as a dwarf lantern shark, the size of an average human hand, or as enormous as a whale shark that can be 18 meters long.  Sharks are threatened, they get stuck in fishing nets and people kill them for their fins. Climate change is affecting sharks habitat; they also have to worry about plastic which they either ingest or get stuck in.

Shark are carnivores and kills their prey with their sharp teeth.  Sharks are opportunistic feeders, but most sharks primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Some of the larger shark species prey on seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals sharks don't chew their food they rip off chunks and swallow the chunks whole.

Sharks rarely attack humans, more people die from other causes like lightning strikes or falling coconuts. We should protect sharks because they are becoming extinct and humans are one of the main reasons they are growing extinct.
