Sharks Aren’t That Dangerous ?
Posted By Zoe Delphy On January 24, 2008
Did you know that according to the Florida Museum of Natural History, more people die of alligator attacks than shark attacks. In the past decade the annual average of deaths due to dog attacks is 144 whilst the annual average of deaths due to shark attacks is just 11.
Here are some more interesting comparisons. More people die of snake bites than shark attacks. More people die of car collisions with wild deer than shark attacks, and funnily enough more people die of falling coconuts than shark attacks. Sharks are vicious but they’re not the world’s number one killer.

That is interesting. Did all of the information come from the Florida Museum of Natural History, including the comparisions?
Wow I didn’t know that alligators attack more often then sharks and so do dogs?!Thats insane!
Wow! Falling cocoanuts, THAT’S CRAZY!!!
First of all how many people live in the sea when compared to people living on land.
We cannot equate like this i presume
Sharks, thanks to our environmentally easy going Red Chinese friends, are on the fast track to extiction (Shark Fin Soup). But, they did have 65 million years to prepare for it. Evolution must have stopped for them?
