Did you know?
Shark attacks are quite uncommon
If you only knew about sharks from pop culture and movies, you'd think they're the worst sea monsters imaginable. However, shark attacks are far rarer than most people realize. Since official record-keeping began in the early 1500s, there have been fewer than a thousand confirmed attacks. In 2021, there were only 73 reported and verified unprovoked shark attacks, which fits with a five-year average of 72 attacks annually. The vast majority of the attacks occurred in areas with larger, more violent shark species and many tourists and people enjoying activities like surfing.
