Here's a breakdown:
* Unprovoked attacks: These are attacks where the shark initiated the interaction with no clear provocation from the human. These are the most common type, but still very rare.
* Provoked attacks: These are attacks where the human initiated the interaction, such as by touching or feeding the shark.
* Attacks by specific shark species: Great white sharks are the most common species involved in unprovoked attacks, but even then, attacks are extremely rare.
It's important to remember:
* Sharks are not inherently aggressive towards humans. Most shark attacks are cases of mistaken identity or curiosity.
* Humans are not on the regular diet of sharks. Sharks primarily feed on fish, seals, and other marine creatures.
You are much more likely to be injured by a bee sting, dog bite, or lightning strike than by a shark attack.
While it's important to be aware of the potential risk of shark attacks, it's also important to remember that they are extremely rare. Enjoy your time in the ocean, but do so with common sense and respect for these amazing creatures.
