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?

Because people are dumbasses.

I would instinctively try to pet a big cat and lose my hand or life for it so I agree.

Why wouldn't you want to cuddle a real bear? Have you not seen them? They look incredibly soft! Just ignore the high possibility of losing your life ofc
