| Original
Passage
Observing great white, tiger or bull sharks without protection
is very risky business. These predators grow large enough
to view human-sized creatures as prey. At times, they
do attack swimmers or surfers. There is growing evidence,
however, that great whites do not seek humans (or seabirds
or sea otters) as food.
