Armed robbers are menacing; shoplifters not so much. What is also important about this language is that it connotes behaviour which is deliberate, conscious, and calculating.

But this latter interpretation tends to be buried under the flow of negative and emotive words. Plenty of other metaphors of criminality are also used to characterize sharks in Australian waters. After a tragedy, the shark is still ascribed with qualities of deliberation and calculation. Descriptions of this kind suggest that, like a fugitive from justice, the animal knows it is at large and is weighing up its options: Among developed world populations, Australians are arguably unique in living alongside a considerable number of indigenous wild animals with the capacity to kill them.

Europeans and North Americans rarely come face to face with bears or wolves these days. But none of these — not even crocodiles — is linguistically maligned with quite the same degree of opprobrium, even hatred, as the great white shark. There are several reasons, but the most important is that while it is easy to ascribe human characteristics to sharks as we have seen above , many people find them difficult to love, or even to like. When wild creatures bear even the vaguest resemblance to humans or domesticated animals, this can afford them a level of protection from untrammelled exploitation.

The danger which they might pose is somehow offset by some semblance of similarity in appearance or behaviour. The purely wild dingoes of Fraser Island were treated like domestic dogs until we realised they could be deadly. It is difficult to think of sharks in this benevolent way.

In other words, what gives sharks their unrivalled symbolic character is the fact that they are a living testament to the destructive capacity of Nature. The Hyena and the Hawk. The Weavers Of Saramyr. The Skein Of Lament.
