Yeah, what a sensationalist

Spot the BBC saying that basking sharks are dangerous:

"They may be cousins but the basking shark couldn't be more different from the feared great white. Harmless and docile, the basking shark does nonetheless often get confused with the apex predator it is related to. Another benefit of this new research could be to highlight those differences. Al Reeve from the Shark Trust hopes so. He said: "From this survey we think more people will appreciate that we've got sharks on our coastline, that they are not dangerous killing machines and also enjoy the fact that we can share the waters with such great sized animals."
