Over the last 10 years, 29 people have lost their lives to shark attacks in Australia.
Can't blame the sharks for that.

Meanwhile, the kangaroos are plotting quietly. Humans better watch out.
They could put lots of stuff in that pouch ya know.

That's not a bad average, just 2.9 per year...

Which is why I wonder why people are afraid of sharks.

On Cape Cod for the last few years we have had a large population of Great White Sharks. We also have the largest seal population on the east coast which is what attracts them. We also have a lot of tourists that like to swim there. They all share the 40 mile long coastline of the Cape Cod National Seashore. A few people have been injured and one person killed but the sharks attract far more tourists than they scare away.

well I would still be sensibly afraid of them and swim within the patrolled flag areas.

I saw Jaws, that's my only experience with sharks.
Never seen an ocean either, so maybe that's why I haven't seen one.
A friend of mine was attacked by a hammerhead years and years ago, but it just hit him in his air tank.
He got back to the boat like an Olympic swimmer.

Because it's very scary to find that you could lose your place at the top of the food chain.
