Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
On the 'Shark Scare'
Since time immemorial the
alarmist has screamed, "Wolf!
Wolf!", most of the times
when no danger was present
at all. Many cries of "wolf
were probably sounded when
only a harmless, frightened
puppy was scratching at the
door.
Today the nervous and the
excitable have changed the
words. Now the cry "shark!
shark!", sends the timid into
a panic, believing a man-eating
shark is hiding behind
every piling or in every wave.
A person of the right tem
perament, scratched by barn
acles may tell the awe-struck
onlookers, "a big shark is in
the water." Immediately
everyone becomes concerned;
everybody crie:; "shark."
Number the Same
Then the question is asked,
"Why so many sharks"? It is
exceedingly doubtful if the
number of sharks has notice
ably increased. Under normal
condition . their numbers
would remain more or less
constant, from one year's end
to another.
"Warmer waters near shore
has" driven them in," is an
other explanation, many
times by well informed
sources. This would seem o
be too obvious to be scientific
ally correct. The real reason
is probably that more people
are in the water. Conditions
being such as they are, it's
getting a little crowded in
the shallow waters near the
ocean's edge. With the in
creased numbers of people
now enjoying salt water bath
ing, together with a great
number of skindiyers, both
the sharks and the people are
short of elbow room. They
are bound tq . get in each
other's way.
The same number of sharks,
in -'aters now frequently oc
cupied by four times as many
swimmers and divers, would
create a situation fraught with
potential danjer. It cannot be
denied, there liave been peo
ple eaten and others attacked
by sharks.
Most Obtainable
Sharks, like most of the
rest of us, are naturally prone
to eat or attempt to eat the
easiest obtainable food. A
large shark, whose reflexes
have been slowed by age or
disease, could become danger
ous when it learned that a
man or woman in the water
could be attacked without the
danger of trying to eat a
larger or more dangerous adversary-
It would be natural
to attempt to fr ed on the most
procurable prey.
Going back as far as history
records are available, not
over half a dozen people have
been eaten by sharks in the
tremendously long coast line
of the state of Florida, in
spite of the fact that uncount
ed millions of people have
enjoyed salt water bathing.

Taking these records percentage-wise,
your chances of
being eaten by a shark, even
though you swim frequently,
is pretty slim. You would
have about as much chance
of being hit by a low-flying
satellite.
