Black or dark brown, this shark species is revealed by its enormous head and mouth. Its long snout and detached jaw make it a terrifically unique-looking shark. However, this species has been spotted in waters across the world. Sharks are deeply misunderstood creatures. We hope this list has not only been informative, but has also inspired an appreciation or even curiosity about sharks and their territories.
Skylar Sjoberg is the assistant blog editor. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. The shark attack capital of the world. In New Smyrna Beach, Florida sharks are known not only to accidentally bite humans, but also bump into them from the waves. The waters off this popular beach resort town in east-central Florida are home to a great number of tiger, blacktip and spinner sharks. A floating surfer also looks a whole lot like a turtle or other prey from below the surface.
Add to the mixture a huge number of people in the water almost year-round in this popular beach resort and you get a recipe for lots of shark attacks. In fact, more people have been attacked by sharks off the coast of New Smyrna than in any other place in the world. While chances are you could swim or surf in these waters everyday and still not get attacked, I might think twice before heading out into the waters here.
In , a foot great white shark lunged from the water and clenched a screaming, 24 year-old surfer in its jaws. The man, who survived the attack, needed stitches to close his 4 bite wounds and is not the first nor the last surfer to be attacked along this stretch of coast in California. Surfers along this stretch of coast are already tough for braving the cold waters, but are doubly courageous for braving the sharks.
Recife, Brazil Sometimes called the Venice of South America, this seaside town on the Atlantic coast of Brazil has the perfect urban beach with gentle seashore breezes, endless days of sunshine and… sharks. Lots of them. Since , there have been more than 50 shark attacks, 16 of them fatal, along a 20 kilometer stretch of coast near Recife, Brazil. This makes Recife the most fatal place for shark attacks in the world, where about 1 in every three attacks ends in death. Because of the concentration of the aggressive and dangerous bull sharks here in Brazil, this beach has earned a reputation as the most deadly shark attack spot in the world.
Sounds like it might be a better idea to concentrate on your tan here than think about getting in the water. The next shark infested destination on our list is in fact a lake, the largest one in Central America to be exact.
Bull sharks, as previously mentioned, are known for their aggressive and unpredictable behavior as well as their ability to tolerate fresh water. For years, scientists did not understand how the sharks ended up in the freshwater lake in Nicaragua.
