Man-Eating Sharks: Myth vs. Reality

About this episode

FACT: Statistically, only 1 in 11.5 million people are bitten by sharks each year, a rare occurrence that contrasts sharply with the fearsome reputation sharks have in popular culture. FICTION: Hollywood often portrays sharks as relentless man-eaters, lurking in the waters to attack unsuspecting swimmers. Join host Kasha Patel as she dives into the reality of shark attacks, debunking myths with Behavioral Ecologist Dr. Tristian Guttridge and shark attack victim turned advocate Paul de Gelder. • Dr. Tristian Guttridge - Dr. Tristian Guttridge • Paul de Gelder - Paul de Gelder • Shark Bite Statistics - Florida Museum • Type of Shark Bites - Florida Museum • Shark Arm Murder - Sydney Archives • Shark Arm Murder - Snopes • Shark Senses - NAUSICCAA • Shark Incidents - Scuba Costa Rica • Freshwater and bull sharks - Apex • Reduce Risk - Florida Museum Hosted on Acast.
