I once read that if you see a shark in the ocean that you should consider yourself lucky because there are so few of them remaining in the world. You spend a lot more time in the water than I do so is there any truth to this?
That is certainly true in many cases. Many sharks species around the globe are critically endangered. We can thanks the Chinese thirst for shark fin soup for that. However, the white tip reef shark that was chasing me around is defo not endangered on the great barrier reef of Australia. He was only doing his job though...:) after all I was a guest in their territory.
