Read the text on the harmful effects of global warming on animals. Find out what the new words mean and get ready to
report next lesson, Mon. October 11th, 2021 at noon.

Our planet and its oceans are getting warmer. For most species of animals, this can have a harmful effect as their
habitats change and they struggle to adapt to the new conditions. But for tiger sharks, this is not the case. 

Tiger sharks love warm waters. As ocean temperatures rise, there are more areas where they can live, hunt, and have
babies. According to Neil Hammerschlag, a marine ecologist at the University of Miami, the number of tiger sharks may
well increase in the future. 

Tiger sharks are among the largest sharks. They can grow to over 18 feet long (5.5 meters) and often weigh more than
1,200 pounds (544 kilograms). They can also be aggressive. As Hammerschlag explains, “Tiger sharks are not afraid of
anything, and they're very curious." Sometimes they'll bite out of curiosity.

So does an increase in their numbers pose any danger for people who spend a lot of time in the water? Hammerschlag
doesn’t think so. “People shouldn’t be afraid them,” he says. “Humans are actually much more of a threat to sharks than
sharks are to us.” But as their numbers increase, the chance of encountering the shark while in the water could become
more likely. 

For anyone who finds themselves in that unfortunate situation, Hammerschlag says the best thing to do is not swim
away because their food runs away from them. Instead, just approach them and maintain eye contact. Don’t touch them
or push them away, unless they’re coming toward you with an open mouth. The most important thing to do is to keep
very strong eye contact with them and follow them around. They will probably find that uncomfortable, and swim away.
