am just surprised there are so many attacks in such a short period of time. flmnh.ufl.edu Following recent trends, Florida (12) had most of the unprovoked attacks in the United States. However, this total was remarkably lower than the 2000-2003 average of 33.5 (based on 30 in 2003, 29 in 2002, 34 in 2001, and 37 in 2000). But the 2005 summer season has just started. The only thing that concerns me is the second attack where the shark would not give up the chase. That follows what has happened in AU this past year where the sharks attack and the body is never found. I am unclear what's to stop humans from becoming part of their food chain. Is it possible we have not been in the past because they did not encounter us as often as they do now? Just curious....it doesn't effect me at all since I don't swim in the ocean. ted
