Expert Shows How Sharks And Anacondas Are Not Violent In Nature

Hamdan Chowdhury shares his experiences at “WildHo

 

The entertainment industry has shaped the public perception about sharks and anacondas as killers lurking underwater. But a recent presentation by researcher and underwater videographer Hamdan Chowdhury at “WildHour: Swimming with Predators” eliminated that notion by sharing his personal experiences with the creatures and drawing a conclusion that they are rather intelligent creatures with personalities.

WildTeam and Noazesh Knowledge Centre had organised this session of WildHour on November 12 at Cosmos Centre, where Hamdan, as the key speaker, emphasised on the need for conserving sharks. “As the rate of killing sharks is very high, it will substantially hamper the ocean ecosystem”, he said, as the human ecosystem depends on its oceanic counterpart.

Demonstrating a stereotypical photograph of a great white shark with its hyper-extended teeth, people might perceive it to be in an attacking stance, but the photo is actually manmade, meaning it was shot in a certain tone and does not represent its actual laidback nature.
