    For survival in this world, it’s to an animal's great advantage if Humans think you're cute.

        @MDaware @GrrlMD moral of the story being if you see news cameras on the beach, best get out of the water?

        @pccm_doc @grrlmd and no, you don't need to get out of the water. sharks basically never attack people (~100/yr worldwide)

        @MDaware @GrrlMD but if you do the math, 100 attacks/100 million plus beach visits...that's like 50:50 chance...
