"We know more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of our oceans."
- David Attenborough
The world is a mysterious place. Quite probable that megalodon is lurking somewhere down there.
I lived in mortal fear of sharks all throughout my childhood. Came from watching too many marine biology documentaries at an early age. Perhaps there's a reason why most five-year-olds stick to Whinnie the Pooh.
There was, what I think was a Japanese horror film, that was about a shark that was able to "swim" out of water and it went around terrorizing the locals. I saw, a few years back, gifs from the film and they were quite terrifying.
For the most part, sharks aren't indiscriminate eaters. They eat what they are used to eating and unless you are in the Solomon Islands, that's not people.
If you want to swim in the ocean, bleeding like a stuck pig, or carrying around a bunch of newly speared fish, you are going to put yourself on the menu.
If you read the preface in the book "Jaws" he states that that shark has grown too large to feed itself through the normal food chain. This happens occasionally in OZ, where dogs begin to disappear long before the first human is taken.
We all fear being eaten alive, but in reality, it is much more dangerous to get into your car or on the school bus each morning, than it is to swim with most sharks.
I see. Thanks. I don't even swim in the ocean because, I can't swim period. However, I'm realizing that I am putting myself at a huge disadvantage by not knowing such a necessary skill.
Thinks there's a possibilty that Megalodon still exists today?

Yeah, the old movie Jaws scared me so bad that I didn't even want to swim in our swimming pool, so I understand where you are coming from.

Not necessarily necessary, but swimming opens up a whole new bunch of ways to have fun.
