Shark Attacks: Tips for Surviving the Worst Case ScenarioPosted by Hadriel Sam on December 20th, 2019 Of all the marine dwelling predators of this world, Tesla Lighter Survival Tool Review none are more perfectly designed and adapted for the kill than the shark. A shark's acute sense of smell, aerodynamic body, and intimidating teeth make it a formidable hunter. In general they don't hunt humans, but it is difficult for them to discern between one prey and the next. Being a curious beast by design, sharks use their highly honed senses to find prey; capable of tasting blood from vast distances, they would naturally be attracted to an injured/bleeding swimmer. Shiny objects and surfers paddling on their surf boards attract sharks too, if not to feed on then only to satisfy their curiosity. If you are lucky enough to have the time to react to a shark (some people suffer surprise attacks) the most important thing to remember is to remain as calm as possible; avoid the fight or flight response to start thrashing water as this will just attract the animal to you. The principle is simple: when a lesser animal in the food chain is confronted by a predator, their first instinct is to escape, startled. If you do this, the shark will know for sure that you are prey and attack. You must calmly make your way towards shore, making sure to never to take your eyes off the circling shark.
