Publisher Description: VICIOUS SHARK ATTACKS: Why Sharks Attack And How To Stop ThemWith the popularity of movies like Jaws and the marketing success of the television programming known as Shark Week, sharks are on a lot of people's minds and shark attacks have become one of the most common fears. The definition of a shark attack is a shark attacking a human. Despite this common fear that sharks are serial predators with a taste for human flesh, there are only around seventy shark attacks reported every year, across the globe. The truth is, shark attacks that fit some of our deepest fears are incredibly rare, like the attacks in 1916 at the Jersey Shore. There are 489 different species of sharks and only three of them have unprovoked, fatal attack reports that reach the double-digits; bull shark, tiger shark, and the great white shark. But while rare, these attacks can be vicious, and for too many, these fears are all too real. This book looks behind the violence to try to understand different types of shark attacks and how to stop them, with reference to different types of sharks. |
