Diver and conservationist Cristina Zenato showed another side to sharks: they come to her to have hooks removed from their mouths...

If that's real, and not anthropomorphized, it shows that sharks are complex creatures, not mindless predators.

And it also tragically shows how much damage we humans do to the natural world. Sport fishing? Not so much for the fish...

That video speaks to shark behavior, but equally as much to Zebato's risk tolerance.

She seems a little too close for comfort to Timothy Treadwell https://youtu.be/watch?v=uWA7GtDmNFU

She's wearing chain mail, so I believe she respects the environment she puts herself into...

Even if you don't anthropomorphize (if that's possible) - shark actual behaviour is miles apart from the stereotypes.

Imagine if shark outer appearance were more mammal-cute, but they'd kept their behaviour - they'd be cuddly super stars with a stellar reputation!
