Three Misunderstood Animals

It is very sad that some animals have negative images. If you open your mind a little, you just might find some beauty in an animal that you thought was blood-curdling.

Snakes- Many people have fear of snakes. Even if the people don't, some kill it for the safety of their pets or kids. They are more afraid of us than some of us are afraid of them. Some of them try to flee before striking. Why would they want to use their venom on something they usually won't eat. Sure, you would not like the sight of a snake hunting an animal but its how it gets it food. Sometimes it even controls a population.



Rats-  Rats have reputations as filthy, dirty carrion-eaters ever since they were the cause of the bubonic plague, which is now rare. Since then, they were blamed for other diseases like the black death, which experts argue that the rats were not the cause. Rats are quite shy and unlikely to bite. They can be good pets and they are smarter and can show more affection than the denser, nippier rodents like hamsters and guinea pigs. Also scavenging for decayed meat is like their last option for food.


Sharks- Sharks are one of nature's most feared predators. When people think of sharks, many think shark attacks on human beings, sharp teeth with morsels of animals, and dangerous sharks but they are smarter than most people give them credit for and they try their best to avoid humans. They also control fish population and leave enough fish for other species to thrive in the same environment. Sharks are more than just empty-headed eating machines. Some even can be playful and if they are in captivity, they can be tamed.


Even though they are not bad, do not get close to them unless they are trained. If they are wild animals, there may be a possibility of them attacking you because they are scared of you and they want to protect themselves.
