      Okay, but then there’s teddy bears.

      Everyone perceives them as cute and cuddly. But I wouldn’t want to cuddle with a bear in real life. Bears are much more dangerous than sharks just on account you’re more likely to encounter one.

      I guess what I’m wondering is: why are things clearly predatory not perceived that way?
