Sharks

Sharks are large animals that live in salty oceans. They are fish that swarm the ocean in dangrous territories, rather near the beach or anywhere out in the ocean. Compared to regular creatures, sharks have various rows of sharp teeth, top & bottom, to make it easier for them to chew, making them the most feared animals in the ocean. They breath through their gills & not their nostrills, which they use to sence the smell of blood. They will often mistake surfers for seals, which makes their actions much worse, which is why some people fear going to the beach or even into the ocean itself. Like otherfish, they have fins on each side to continuously swim all over the ocean. If they beach up on land for a while, they will die of lack of water. However, in films such as Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the are shown to have the ability to extend their time out of the water without dying, as seen when a shark jumps out of the water in an attempt to eat Mort, a character in the movies, which ultimately eventually leads to its demise inside the Mt. Kilimanjaro volcano, where it falls into a pool of lava. In other instances, Steven Spielberg's iconic Universal Studios film series, Jaws, has a shark as the antagonist, where it viciously eats its victims without care, which may be the reason for people fearing the beach.
