Sharks prefer to attack men than women according to findings by Bond University in Queensland, Australia. This is part of a wider study into shark attacks which has shown a threefold increase in \u2018unprovoked\u2019 shark attacks between 1981 and 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you think this research is only true because more men are involved in water sports than women? Well the report author thinks so.<\/p>\n<p>Report author associate professor Daryl McPhee said researchers were surprised by the findings, and suggested that many water sports such as surfing have more male participants than female, which might account for their increased risk.<\/p>\n<p>The research also found Australia to have the most shark fatalities with 171 attacks, 37 of which were fatal, whereas the United States recorded 769 attacks but only 25 fatalities over the past three decades.<\/p>\n<p>Daryl also speculated that the high death rate in Australia may be because Australian\u2019s have \u2018an obvious love and affinity with the water\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>So with sharks preferring to attack guys than ladies, I guess I should stick to a swimming pool to avoid these attacks<\/p>\n<p>Okay, am off to the pool.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Phil<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to shark&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[34],"tags":[2794],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9108"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9108"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23242,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9108\/revisions\/23242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
