At the Movies!

It is often said that Jaws demonized sharks. That Jaws helped to perpetuate and even exaggerate steryotypes about sharks, as well as to create new ones. Potraying sharks as just mindless monsters, driven purely by instinct and hunger. Is this true? Yes.

Here's a video by Trey the Explainer that goes into detail on how media like Jaws affected marine ecosystems as a whole, not just sharks.

Don't take me wrong. Like I said, Jaws is a great film. You can still enjoy the movie but you can also admit that the way sharks are potrayed sucks.

Did you know that sharks use their mouths the same way we use our hands? That is, to interact with their enviroment.

EDIT: Sharks aren't any worse than bears, tigers, or other predators.
