There is no way to know exactly how many people have been eaten by sharks, especially since plenty of people go missing on boats every year, however the average is around eight people annually. This number of course only counts the people that survive or have witnesses to the attack. Strangely, I have heard that way more people have been trampled and killed by cows than eaten by sharks.


I agree round about 8 annual.

yoU CAN NEVER REALLy tell people can just go missing maybe eaten but nesserally the tide took them out or they drowned.

No sharks want to eat people. If you enter there territory or look similar to one of their prey such as: large fish, dolphins, and seals. When a human is laying on a surfboard with their arms off the sides it can commonly be mistaken for a seal.

there are only 4 species which are known for have killed humans; Bullshark, Tigershark, oceanic whitetip and perhaps the most well known, the great white. but there are less than 6 people killed each year by sharks, and each day, millions of people swim in waters with these sharks near by. there are actually more people who gets killed by soda machines (according to the film sharkwater)

What shark mostly attacks humans?

There is no species of shark that mostly attacks humans. Sharks eat aquatic life; fish, seals, and in the case of the whale shark, plankton. People can easily avoid sharks simply by not going in the water, so any shark that relied on eating people for its diet, would die of starvation. However, sharks do sometimes attack people, and the species which has done this the most is the great white shark.
