      Well some sharks are more aggressive than other by nature. Moreover some not all sharks species live in area where humans are.

      Sharks are not really aggressive unless they feel threatened, the sharks that eat people don’t see us as people they just see us as dinner and if they like the taste of us then they will try and eat another one. Some sharks are really quite docile.

      Sharks get a bad rep for very little reason – they do not attack humans in abnormally large numbers and studies have actually have shown that time and time again, any time a shark bites a human they spit out the meat. Further tests have shown that sharks have a near complete disdain for human flesh!
