The majority of shark bites do not result in fatalities.

The very fact that a shark is capable of eating a human yet chooses not to is proof that we are not a part of their diet. Sharks do not wish to eat humans; they merely take taster bites.

Sharks do not actively seek to feed on humans

Humans are not hunted by sharks, but rather mistaken for seals and other prey on a sharks menu.

Here’s the short, brutal truth on shark attacks:

• Most bites aren’t fatal — sharks usually let go after the first bite.
• They don’t “hunt” humans — most attacks are mistaken identity.
• Three species cause most deaths — great white, tiger, and bull sharks.
• Bleeding out kills faster than the shark — blood loss is the main danger.
• They strike fast — often less than a second from approach to bite.
• Surfboards increase risk — silhouette looks like a seal.
• Attacks are rare — more people die from vending machines falling over.
• Most victims survive — survival rates are over 80%.
