when it comes to the ocean's predators, sharks often steal the spotlight. but did you know that there's another animal lurking in the shadows that's even more deadly? that's right, we're talking about tigers. in this article, we'll dive into the world of sharks and tigers, and find out which one is the real killer.
sharks: the ocean's scariest predator?
sharks have a reputation for being the ocean's most fearsome predators. movies like jaws have only added to this image, making us all think twice before taking a dip in the ocean. but the truth is, sharks are not as dangerous as they're made out to be. in fact, on average, sharks kill only 5 people a year. that's less than the number of people who die from sneezing to death each year! so, while you might be wary of sharks when you're at the beach, you should really be more afraid of tigers.
tigers: the real killer
tigers, on the other hand, are a different story. these big cats are responsible for an average of 85 deaths or injuries per year, with most of these fatalities occurring in india. thanks to successful conservation efforts, tiger numbers have rebounded from near-extinction, and they've decided to say thank you by doing what tigers have done for hundreds of thousands of years: eating people. while we might be mad, it's important to remember that it was us who drove them to near-extinction in the first place. so, in a way, it's only fair that they're taking their revenge.
