shark attacks
Predatory fish strikes
Shark attacks are instances of sharks biting or injuring humans, though such encounters are statistically rare.
The phrase often appears in news coverage and popular culture, where it carries outsized fear relative to actual risk: Shark attacks dominate beach safety headlines every summer.
Most involve cases of mistaken identity—sharks investigating unfamiliar shapes in the water.
