Sharks and humans have a complex relationship.

We have a respect and reverence for these ocean dwellers, partially out of admiration for their perfectly evolved predatory skills, partially out of a fear of their ferocity and dominance of the oceans.

Perhaps this is why Shark Week is such a popular event, or why there are so many infographics about sharks. Here are 13 of them:

  6. But maybe we are looking at a gross misunderstanding of a beautiful and graceful creature. They have filled an ecological niche for 34,000,000 years, and we have only been around for 200,000. So what really is the Status of the Shark?
