Type of shark attacks: fatal. nonfatal. and provoked and non provoked.
As of 2009 there have been 2251 shark attacks and 464 fatal.
Location: Kosi Bay South Africa.
Characteristics: Hit-and-run attack – Usually non-fatal, the shark bites and then leaves – Sneak attack-Victim will not usually see the shark, they may receive repeated deep bites. This is the most fatal kind of shark attack.
Bump-and-bite attack – The shark bumps before biting and then normally swims away.
I learned that death by shark attacks are rare, and even non fatal shark attacks are nothing to fear because it is not likelyto happen.
