Why Shark Selfies Are Getting Risky

Wildlife selfies are going viral, but experts say getting too close to sharks (or any wild animal) is a recipe for disaster. Shark attacks are rare—only about 100 a year worldwide—but more tourists are risking serious injury for that perfect shot. One Canadian even lost both hands trying to snap a pic! Turns out, sharks usually bite out of self-defense, not aggression. Maybe it’s time we stop blaming the sharks and start rethinking our own behavior in their territory. #SharkSafety #WildlifeAwareness #TravelSmart #OceanLife #Science
