Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals. HI folks It's Aditya and today we ask the question on steemit " can a shark swim backwards"

Unlike fish, sharks cannot stop suddenly or swim backwards. A shark's pectoral fins cannot bend upwards like a fish, limiting its swimming ability to forward motion. If a shark needs to move backwards, it uses gravity to fall, not swim backwards.
