Attacks on Humans

 according to scientists who've studied the stomach

contents of these sharks. Humans, because of their
muscle content, aren't a very good meal for great
whites, who crave fatty blubber. Many shark attack
victims live to tell their tale because the shark takes
a bite, as if to taste it. While this will be small
comfort to anyone ever trapped in the mouth of a
shark, it may just be a case of mistaken identity.
Think about someone lying on a surfboard, their
arms and legs out to the side to paddle and kick.
