Now You Can See Where You Are Most Likely To Experience A Shark Attack
It seems like that every time you turn on the news, there’s a report of another shark attack. Now there’s a website that shows where you are most likely to experience a shark attack.
The Florida Museum in Gainesville has developed an interactive website and see where these predators have left their bite marks. You can get very granular information about shark attacks that have occurred between 1900 and 2021. According to this database, the U.S. has the most unprovoked shark attacks in the world with 1,563. Out of that number, Florida accounts for 896 of them…that’s over 57% of all attacks in the U.S.! Australia comes in second with 682. Most shark attacks are committed by only three of the species: Great White, Tiger shark, and the Bull shark. You can even see what activities increase the likely hood of getting attacked. In case you were wondering, it’s surfing.
Thankfully, the likelihood of being attacked by one of these ocean predators is very rare.
You can really go down the rabbit hole with all the information this website provides. Are you ready for the deep dive? Then check it out here.
