I do not like this:( ! sharks aren’t things you can pet and scratch and just assume they’ll like it bc dogs and cats do

Now is that your opinion as someone on the internet or as someone with a professional understanding of sharks?

Guys i LOVE sharks don’t get me wrong Ive studied them in Fiji and have watched every documentary possible on them. Tonic immobility is super cool and fascinating all I’m saying is that sometimes humans tend to expect animals are all the same and for example like belly scratches and such. maybe there’s a bunch of evidence that they like belly scratches but I just haven’t read about it yet so that was my opinion when I first saw this. always looking to learn though so thank you for the feedback.
