Everyone has seen the movie Jaws, or if not, at least they've heard the strange shark music. It's a shame the music isn't playing, why are you swimming in the ocean, right? Although people think they are shark bait, with their legs dangling over the edge of a surfboard in the water, surprisingly, sharks don't go out of their way to attack humans. They prefer to prey on seals or other small marine mammals. Sharks are territorial animals and feel threatened by humans in their water. In an effort to reduce the number of shark-associated injuries and deaths worldwide, it is essential to know why sharks attack which species, how to avoid attacks, and what to do if they are attacked. Shark attacks and suspected causes (a) provoked or unprovoked1. GSAF (Global Shark Attack File) defines a provoked incident as one in which the shark was harpooned, hooked, captured or any situation in which a human drew “first blood”. This is the most common reason for attacks. These occur when people touch or invade shark territory.2. Unprovoked attacks tend to occur in one of three options.

But in case you can't get away with it, try sticking your fingers into the shark's eyes or its gill slits, which are located just behind the eyes on the shark's head.

So for the few people looking to get away from this brutal Wisconsin weather and enjoy the sandy beach in the sun, remember this. Shark attacks are a very preventable accident by simply being careful when entering the water. Research the area you're in, maybe even talk to the locals. These creatures have a bad reputation that doesn't 100% deserve it. Ladies and gentlemen, fish, and always sharks are friends, not food.
