same here,florida is very sharky,but not the kind of sharks ur supposed to fear.i don't know if they had any fatal attacks,mostly like getting bit by a dog or something similar.i think its mostly blacktips,not sure.i seen plenty of footage of people surfing right over sharks on a drone cam in fla. lol afrika is a whole different ballgame.i heard stories of great whites lining the shore to attack elephants taking a quick dip.im fascinated by whites just because of how long they live.u get bit by a 20footer,u basically got bit by a senior citizen shark.some of those sharks,bites do not exist,there is no fighting.they open their mouth and take ur whole body and board with it.so yea big difference between needing some stitches on ur ankle and being split into 2.
