Legends chilling about this bloodthirsty and merciless cruel murderer are among the people. In the thrillers, the white shark appears before the viewer as a vengeful, clever creature, which is almost impossible to hide from. And in fact, who can be left indifferent by shots depicting a shark attack on a person? Moreover, such stories have a place to be in real life.
World statistics
In fact, cases when a shark attacks a person occurs regularly. This is the main factor in the fear of a formidable predator. The cold-blooded killer scares the imagination of people with its many sharp teeth, located in the mouth in several rows and tilted inward. This fact is most often the cause of deaths, since the shark attack on a person does not end with the fact that the predator eats its prey. The wounded simply bleeds, strewn with the teeth of a monster, as if with sharp knives. World statistics reports that in 2010 there were 94 attacks on people, 8 were fatal; in 2011, sharks attacked swimmers 118 times, of which 15 were fatal; in 2012, 96 attacks were carried out, as a result of which 8 people died.
Reasons for attacks on human sharks
Films are intensifying the atmosphere around this large predator, in which a well-planned pursuit is literally organized behind a person. It should be noted that the largest is considered a white shark. An attack on a person makes this particular type. But to call her a killer fish is still not worth it. The white shark does not feed on humans, so a shark attack on a person can most likely be attributed to accidents rather than ordinary events. Predatory fish rushes for prey due to a mistake, mistaking a person for a marine animal, with which she used to eat. But the fact that there is a possibility of becoming a victim of this predator does not become less frightening from this. Although, comparing the statistics of mortality from predator fish and the number of drowned people, we see a ratio of 1 to 3306. Nevertheless, people are more afraid of sharks than the likelihood of drowning.
A terrible incident in Primorye in 2011 at
Last year shocked the whole world with a terrible event. In the Khasan district, a white shark made a double attack on people. An eleven-meter monster weighing about three tons attacked a married couple. The woman did not suffer, but her husband, Udovenko Denis, was much less fortunate. Although the shark managed to drive away, and the man was helped, he had to amputate both hands to the elbow. It happened in the south of Primorye in the bay of Telyakovsky. A little later, a second terrible incident occurred. On the island of Zheltukhin, located north to Vladivostok, a shark attacked a sixteen-year-old boy who was injured in his leg.
Everyone must be careful
But people continue to swim in dangerous areas, not paying attention to the fact that from time to time there is an attack of sharks on people. Photos posted in the media and the Internet scare their reality. Fishermen extract parts of human bodies and limbs from the belly of a ripped predator - isn’t this enough to be more careful? And although it has been proven that not all sharks dream of enjoying humanity, there is as yet no sensible explanation for what reason these cases nevertheless take place in our lives.
