2. Do sharks usually attack humans?

Answer 2

1. Polar bears primarily eat seals. They rely on hunting seals as their main source of food. They use their powerful sense of smell to locate breathing holes in the ice where seals are likely to surface. Once they find a seal, they patiently wait for it to come up for air and then catch it using their sharp claws. Polar bears also eat fish and are known to scavenge on carcasses of whales and walruses when available.

2. Sharks do not usually attack humans. Despite their reputation as fearsome predators, shark attacks on humans are actually rare. Most sharks are not interested in human prey and do not see humans as a suitable food source. Most cases of shark attacks occur due to mistaken identity or curiosity rather than predatory behavior. However, certain species of sharks, such as the great white shark and tiger shark, have been involved in more human attacks compared to others.

3. The "red list" refers to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This list classifies and provides information on the conservation status of various species worldwide. Animals that are on the "red list" are those that are considered to be at risk of extinction. This includes species that are critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable. Factors such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and overhunting contribute to the decline in populations and their inclusion on the "red list."
