Shark killer prefer men

Australian researchers conducted a study according to which Sharks 9 times kill more guys than ladies. Typically, this is due to the fact that the male is spending more time in the water.

Scientists from the Australian Institute of Bond amounted statistics, which shows that sharks like to kill men, not ladies. According to the data of the research on boys account for 84% of all shark attacks. 89% of them lead to death, it means that the ladies are statistically more likely to survive the attack of a predator.

Note that in my custom research scientists was based on data collected around the world. One of the researchers, associate Professor Daryl McPhee, emphasized that these studies were highly unexpected for him, and he checked often to prevent the mistake.

"Men spend more time in the water and are more prone to risk - quoted scientific worker newspaper the Telegraph. But people besides Pat sharks on the head, bringing them into a rage, put my hand in mouth, trying to get fishing hooks. Jump the shark and want to ride. So happen provoked shark attacks worthy of a Darwin award".

Additionally, in the study of Australians have statistics on countries vulnerable to predators. Researchers report that in the first place sharks attack people in the waters of Australia. A little more than 30 years in this country there were about 171 cases of attack of the ocean predator, 32 of which ended in a critical final. In South Africa - 132 attacks, including 28 deaths. Moreover, in the United States noted 769 bites and only 25 were killed.

"In the United States currently recorded more bites of marine predators, however there is the small percentage of critical cases, only about 3 percent," said Dr. McPhee, suggesting that this is due to the fact that in America the high characteristic habitat of small sharks.
