Detailed explanation-2: -But, if a shark is near you in the water, stay calm and don’t flail your arms. Experts say the best thing to do is to swim slowly and keep eye contact with the shark.

Detailed explanation-3: -As in other sharks, the spinal cord of the Great White enters the back of the skull and merges imperceptibly with the hindbrain. The hindbrain forms the base of the Y and consists of two main parts, the brainstem and cerebellum. The White Shark’s brainstem bristles with the posterior cranial nerves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Defend yourself-playing dead doesn’t work. Use whatever you have at your disposal (surfboard, dive gear, fishing equipment) to avoid using your bare hands to attack the shark. If you must use your hands, concentrate on attacking the eyes, nose and gills. Make sudden movements to scare the shark. 12-Oct-2022
