Почему акулы нападают на одних людей и не трогают других?

Spring 1935, the waters off Bimini. A burly, bearded fisherman has been reeling in a huge marlin—the catch of a lifetime—for hours. And just when victory is almost within his grasp, gray shadows emerge from the blue. The man grabs a Thompson submachine gun and furiously fires bursts into the water. Eight hundred and fifty rounds a minute. To no avail. A few minutes later, all that remains of the great fish is a gnawed spine. This man was Ernest Hemingway, and those who took his catch from him, undaunted by the bullets, were sharks. Twenty years later, this scene would become "The Old Man and the Sea." But who were they, these ancient hunters, unstoppable by man or bullet, and why, in 450 million years, have they never met their equal? First, let's measure its age fairly. The shark swam in the ocean before even a single tree had sprouted on land, and the first dinosaurs were still two hundred million years away. It survived five mass extinctions, outliving trilobites, sea reptiles, and the dinosaurs themselves. We'll also look at the megalodon: where its thirty-meter length came from, why a complete skeleton doesn't exist, and what really killed it. Next, the design of this survival machine. A cartilaginous skeleton, which many would consider imperfect, but which allows for lightness and impossible turns. A huge oily liver instead of a swim bladder—and the same liver that proved a death sentence for deep-sea species. A dental conveyor belt that runs nonstop throughout life. Skin made of thousands of real microteeth that cut the palm of your hand like sandpaper. And an honest analysis of the myth that "a shark will die if it stops." A separate chapter is devoted to its feelings, including those we don't have at all. Why is "a drop of blood from miles away" greatly exaggerated? But the lateral line hears the tremors of the water with the entire body, and the ampullae of Lorenzini detect the electric field of any living heart right through a layer of sand. Plus a handful of warm-blooded sharks, warming their muscles 14 degrees above the water's surface. Then there's the sheer scale of the family itself: a bus-sized whale shark feeding on plankton, a hammerhead shark, a goblin with a retractable jaw, a glowing baby, a mako like a living rocket, and a thresher shark with a whip-like tail. And the oddities of reproduction, right down to a virgin birth without a single male nearby. Finally, three things change the whole picture. A Greenland shark living for four hundred years. Killer whales surgically cutting open the abdomens of great white sharks to get just the liver. And the only enemy this species hasn't survived in half a billion years: three sharks every second.
