The authority on shark attack behaviour is the International Shark Attack File (ISAF) which provides reliable statistical analysis on worldwide attacks. Their reliable data focuses on ‘unprovoked attacks’ which is one that “occurs in its natural habitat without human provocation of the shark”.
Shark Attack Patterns and Statistics
The shark attack can be categorised into three main types. ‘Hit and run’, the most common, often results in fewer fatalities and are most likely to be mistaken identity attacks. The victim rarely sees the shark. ‘Bump and bite’ involves circling and bumping prior to attack and the ‘sneak’ attack happens without warning. The following information is provided by the ISAF,
