Cow attacks. But this doesn't mean that cows are more dangerous than sharks, there are just more of them.
Being attacked by a shark is much more dangerous than being attacked by a cow. However, the probabilty of the average man in the street actually being attacked by a shark is much lower than the probabilty of his being attacked by a shark.

∙ 12y agoYou have a better chance of being struck by lightning only because there is more opportunity for lightning to strike you. However make no mistake about it, if you are in waters where sharks are known to be, you have a much greater chance of being eaten by a shark then.
