For the unlucky few who experience shark attacks, the ordeal is undoubtedly terrifying. Yet every summer, stories about shark attacks top homepages. Unlike shark attacks on humans, which are mainly attributed to curiosity, we know exactly what we’re doing. Throughout, the great white is characterized as a dogged predator obsessed with human flesh. I’d never suggest that the victims of shark attacks had it coming, or that cinemagoers should feel an iota of shame.

Authorities in Perth, Western Australia, believe that a bull shark is responsible for a fatal attack. Bull sharks, which can live in salt and fresh water, can be aggressive though fatal attacks are rare. Bull sharks are the most dangerous sharks in the world, according to many experts, because they hunt along shorelines where people gather to swim. One of the biggest bull sharks recorded was 13 feet long and weighed 990 pounds. The Swan River had not seen a fatal shark attack since January 1923, when a bull shark killed a 13-year-old boy.
