Sharks are highly evolved animals just trying to survive. They are no more dangerous to people than any large predator, like a lion or a bear, and statistically pose almost no threat to people. Sharks have amazing senses that biologists do not fully understand, and powerful immune systems that might teach humankind how to defeat many diseases. 'Wildlife Monographs - Sharks' provides a fascinating look into the lives of sharks in the hope that readers might be motivated to be a part of the growing movement to protect the endangered shark populations around the world.
