Cows kill more people every year than sharks do

And that's only because we come more often and much closer to cows than we come to sharks.

Its also because big ass herbivores are actually really dangerous.

Sharks don't actually like the taste of humans because we're a little too lean. So they won't actively hunt you unless they're starving. There's only really one reason why a shark is out to get you. There's many reasons a herbivore will mess you up.

A big herbivore will fk you up because he's having a bad day and you got too close. Or its mating season and everyone is potential competition. Or they mistook you for a predator cause of their poor eyesight. Or a bird flew away nearby and one of them got startled and now you're in a path of a stampede.

Sharks may also bite you by accident, because they mistake you for a seal.

How dangerous a bull is also depends on his age. While getting older he will start to lose the fear/respect for humans. This will get to a point where being alone with him is a literal death sentence.
