      Hi Connor, nice to meet you 🙂
      I’m glad you like sharks, lots of people are afraid of them and it’s really unfair. Lots of sharks are endangered in the wild, and sometimes people go out and try to kill sharks because they want to stop them killing humans. I think this is terrible – when humans go into the sea we are in the shark’s home and most of the time all they are doing is trying to protect themselves.
      The sharks that I saw in the sea were called white tip reef sharks, here is a picture of one:
      They do not like the taste of humans so they rarely attack, however they DO like the taste of fish and have been known to try and steal your catch when you’re fishing!
