Posted: 03/16/2010
It may not seem that way to surfers in Florida, which boasts more shark attacks than anywhere else on the planet, but the statement is true: "Humans are top predators too, and they pose more of a danger to sharks than sharks do to people."That's the first paragraph of a column written by Wendy B.
