Just in time for Shark Week!
I love Shark Week!!!
In my area, there are rarely shark attacks, but we do have a mid-range species (the Sand Tiger or Sandbar Shark) that has been implicated in deadly shark attacks. A place on the New Jersey coast had a rash of fatal shark attacks back in the early 20th Century, and since the ban on shark fishing during the 1990s the incidence of attacks on swimmers on the Atlantic coast of the United States has had a spike. A simple solution to this is to know what shark habits are (feeding mostly at dawn and dusk, prowling shallows during high tide, etc) and avoiding actions which may attract them. They're not particularly good choosers when it comes to what they bite, and their habits might be to wound so as to cripple a prey in order to avoid unnecessary injuries inflicted while struggling with them, hence the quick strike and swim off to return for another bite.
