Not what is being discussed.

Orcas are apex predators (and feed on sharks, in fact). Grizzlies are apex predators that occasionally attack humans.

But sharks are more akin to wolves: they live outside reality and statistics as a folklorish monster, just waiting to pull you under the waves or crossdress and eat you whole.

It's about the irrational mythos, not their place in the real world.
