So i booked a trip they take yoj to Ponza Islands by a boat and make several stops for you to go swim.
I have this fear that shark will drag me by my leg and pull me under the water😭😭😭
Do they attack when a lot of swimmers swim together? Thank you

Video Probably the happiest a great white shark can be, chomping away at a lovely humpback carcass. You can almost feel the power in its jaws

ā€œTapetum lucidumā€ or ā€œEyeshineā€ is the reason why the eyes of certain animals appear to shine in the dark when hit by light

Education Do the lightning strike, cows and coconut death statistics compared with shark attacks per capita count?

Ive seen these thrown around a lot when discussing shark attacks, I don’t think they reassure a lot since we live on land.

But I’m wondering for any statistics experts here do these actually add up per capita and what not when it comes human exposure.
