Sharks or humans... who should be afraid?: Vic Peddemors at TEDxCanberra 2012

Across the globe, sharks are increasingly in danger from humans. We slaughter millions of sharks each year through over-fishing, by-catch and practices such as finning.
Shark ecologist, Vic Peddemors, explains that through failed understanding of shark behavior and the use of practices that are unsustainable, the apex predator in a fragile ecosystem is now at risk. That risk carries repercussions, with the creatures and plants all the way down to the base of the pile also under pressure.
Vic argues that it's not humans that need to fear sharks, but perhaps the sharks should fear us.

What is the actual sound of sharks, like brain waves or other metabolic indicators of their general demeanor?

[@hereshotrod3873]

Shark should be more afraid of us. We've kill more sharks then they have kill us. We have the nerves to call them monsters.
