Recent understanding of sharks suggests they can be peaceful creatures. There’s a growing connection between humans and sharks, supported by stories of divers like Jim, who has been swimming with a tiger shark named Emma for over 20 years without encountering aggression. Despite this, some divers, like Valerie, feel a mix of comfort and fear around great white sharks. It raises the question of how we perceive these animals and what the consequences may be for marine life when we treat them as pets, emphasizing the importance of respecting the natural boundaries of wildlife.
