However, shark attacks are not as frequent as you may think &#8211; there are less than 100 shark attacks per year in the world, and only about 4.2 of these attacks are fatal. More people are killed by lightning strikes each year than by sharks. You are more likely to be bitten by another person than by a shark! But that does not stop people from being afraid of them. \u00a0We tend to fear what we do not understand, so perhaps if you learn a little bit more about them, you will not be scared of them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7675\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7675\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7675 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/hTP2uY9.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/hTP2uY9.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/hTP2uY9-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/hTP2uY9-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/hTP2uY9-85x48.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/hTP2uY9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>[\/gallerypage]<\/p>\n<p>[gallerypage]<\/p>\n<h2>1.

Most shark attacks are unprovoked hit and runs &#8211; they take a bite, release, and then leave. This suggests that they thought the human was something else that they usually hunt; the shape of a surfer from underneath confuses them greatly. Or they may have been curious. Sharks like to test things with their mouths if they have never seen it before. Once they realize it is not what they want, they move on.<\/p>\n<p>[\/gallerypage]<\/p>\n<p>[gallerypage]<\/p>\n<h2>3.
