The International Shark Attack File, which contains data on shark attacks from around the world, reports fewer than 100 shark attacks per year, with about 10-15 deaths each year. In comparison, about 1,000 people die from attacks by crocodiles; 1,500 from tigers, lions, and leopards; and 60,000 from snakebites.

Add to this that deer kill about 100 people a year in the US, and even bees and ants have killed more people than sharks. The thing about sharks is the image of an apex predator rising from the dark depths with a gaping maw and serrated teeth.

Otherwise, realistically, squirrels, bats and raccoons are a far greater danger due to rabies! However there is no call for the extermination of squirrels, primarily because they do not fit the image of 'terror from the deep' and such stuff. This is also the reason why deer kill more people in the US than sharks, but you never hear the MSM coming up with terms like 'the summer of the Deer' or the 'autumn of the savage squirrel.'

Do a Google for bull sharks, also, Ganges, Zambezi sharks, etc.

Bull's have been found over 2,400 miles up the Amazon. They seem to be able to handle freshwater.

They have killed Indians way up the Ganges. Regular folks in knee deep water...taking a bath.
