This is a friendly looking shark. I won’t go so far as to call sharks friendly but they are not unfriendly either. You can dispel the myth that sharks are manhunters.

In the image below, you can see the sharks swimming about. You can use this as a talking point that when sharks swim, they pass water over their gills so they can breath. They can also do this while resting at the bottom of the sea

Unlike Dolphins not all sharks can leap out of water. Only a handful of Sharks do this especially the Great White Shark. They do this when hunting.
