shark attack

description

Key points

This is the aspect of shark behaviour that naturally terrifies humans, yet also intrigues us. Here, real-life shark attacks are documented in the context of why they happened, and what species were involved – in fact, of all the hundreds of shark species, only 13 are suspected of ever killing humans. The drama needs no over-playing: tragedies have occurred, but some brave, quick-witted (and lucky) people have also survived.
