We share a terrestrial nature with bears, and you can typically see or hear them far enough away to react and move away. With sharks, we’re in their natural element, not ours, and you don’t see them until they’re biting your leg off. Also, they’re freaky and primordial.

I have a similar irrational fear of sharks and have a lot of trouble going into the ocean but I do it. I used to have a similar fear to bears but as I learned more about them, their habits, their behavior and what leads to negative encounters, I am much more comfortable to the point where I get really excited to see a bear in the wild.
But sharks can still go #### themselves.
