Bull Sharks Attacks

Bull Sharks Attacks

The fear of sharks is a common one, not helped by fear-inducing movies like Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, and Red Water. However, while there are over 360 species of shark, only 4 have been known to attack a human unprovoked. Those dangerous few are the Great White, Tiger, Bull and Oceanic White Tip Sharks.

The majority of the attacks by the first three species mentioned are well documented, however, since the oceanic white tip stays in the deep ocean doesn't come near the coast like the others, fewer attacks by them have been recorded. Recent studies have shown that they are unlikely to attack unprovoked, however a number of attacks were attributed to the oceanic white tip during the two World Wars, when a great deal of ships were destroyed while at sea. While the four aforementioned species account for a significant number of all shark attacks, there have been a few others that have caused injury to humans.
