Shark Attacks in France

Introduction

Have you ever wondered why sharks get such a bad rap from humans? It surely can’t be because of their razor-sharp teeth, craving for blood, or uncanny hunting skills, right?  In actuality, it is!  Sharks, in general, epitomize human fear.  There have been over 6,000 shark attacks ever recorded, however, the United States, South Africa, and Australia take the cake for most shark attacks in the world. Specifically, the United States clocks in at over 1,600 shark attacks with over 60.
