I am sure that at least once, while you were swimming in the sea, the thought of a shark fin appearing on the horizon has crossed your mind. After the movie Jaws and the numerous shark documentaries on National Geography Wild, it is natural that people have developed a fear of sharks. However, in reality, shark attacks are much rarer. Every year, around the world, approximately 75 people are attacked by sharks, and only 10 from those attacks end up with human deaths.
