Between 2007 and 2016, in the United States, 443 was recorded in non-lethal shark attacks and in fatal 7. Scientists explain that sharks do not attack because they are looking for food, but because of curiosity, in order to understand what kind of unusual sea creature is in front of them. And in the end they immediately swim away, as soon as they realize that they are not a fish in front of them.

According to statistics, the risk of meeting with a shark is very low. The probability of being attacked by a shark is approximately 1 to 11,5 million. This means that you are more likely to get struck by lightning or die from the flu than become a victim of a shark attack.

The degree of risk also depends on where you decide to go on a beach holiday. Florida is the capital of shark attacks in America, which over the past 10 years had for 244 shark attacks, Hawaii ranked second - 65 attacks.
