| Description | A third of Americans are ready to give sharks the benefit of the doubt, while scorpions top the list of animals which Americans are most afraid of.
With Discovery's Shark Week closing out its 26th year, sharks have continued to make inroads into American pop culture. Yet even with only one fatal shark attack reported in the US last year, the carnivorous fish have never quite shaken the man-eating reputation they developed as a result of 1975's Jaws. New research from YouGov hints that Americans may feel that this is due for a change.
When asked "are sharks misunderstood", more than a third of Americans (36%) say that they are. 30% of Americans, on the other hand, say that sharks don't deserve the benefit of the doubt and 33% are not sure. |
