Global Shark Attack - World

Unprovoked vs. Provoked - GSAF defines a provoked incident as one in which the shark was speared, hooked, captured or in which a human drew "first blood". Although such incidents are of little interest to shark behaviorists, when the species of shark involved is known and pre-op photos of the wounds are available, the bite patterns are of value in determining species of shark involved in other cases when the species could not identified by the patient or witnesses. We know that a live human is rarely perceived as prey by a shark. Many incidents are motivated by curiosity, others may result when a shark perceives a human as a threat or competitor for a food source, and could be classed as "provoked" when examined from the shark's perspective.Incidents involving Boats – Incidents in which a boat was bitten or rammed by a shark are in green. However, in cases in which the shark was hooked, netted or gaffed, the entry is orange because they are classed as provoked incidents.Casualties of War & Air/Sea Disasters - Sharks maintain the health of the marine ecosystem by removing the dead or injured animals. Many incidents result because, like other animals that don't rely on instinct alone, sharks explore their environment. Lacking hands, they may investigate an unfamiliar object with their mouths. Unlike humans, there is no malice in sharks; they simply do what nature designed them to do. Air/Sea Disasters are accidents that place people into the day-to-day business of sharks. The wartime losses due to sharks result from mans' cruelty to man. Air/Sea Disasters are in yellow.Questionable incidents - Incidents in which there are insufficient data to determine if the injury was caused by a shark or the person drowned and the body was later scavenged by sharks. In a few cases, despite media reports to the contrary, evidence indicated there was no shark involvement whatsoever. Such incidents are in blue.All of the data on this site comes from the Global Shark Attack File (GSAF), a spreadsheet of human/shark interactions, compiled by the Shark Research Institute. It is hoped that this site makes it apparent that shark attacks are extremely rare occurrences, while providing an easily accessible resource for those wishing to know more about the subject.

无端攻击与挑衅攻击 - 根据全球鲨鱼攻击档案（GSAF）的定义，挑衅攻击是指鲨鱼被刺杀、钩捕、捕获，或人类首先对其造成伤害的情况。尽管此类事件对鲨鱼行为学家而言兴趣寥寥，但当涉及鲨鱼的种类且可获得伤口的术前照片时，咬痕模式对于确定其他案例中无法由患者或目击者识别的鲨鱼种类具有重要价值。众所周知，活人很少被鲨鱼视为猎物。许多事件源于好奇心，而有些则可能发生在鲨鱼将人类视为威胁或食物来源的竞争者时，从鲨鱼的角度来看，这些事件可以被视为“挑衅攻击”。涉及船只的事件 - 当船只被鲨鱼咬伤或撞击时，此类事件以绿色标注。然而，在鲨鱼被钩住、网捕或用叉子刺伤的情况下，条目以橙色标注，因为它们被归类为挑衅攻击。战争的牺牲者与空中/海上灾难 - 鲨鱼通过移除死伤动物来维持海洋生态系统的健康。许多事件的发生是因为，与仅依赖本能的其他动物一样，鲨鱼会探索其环境。由于缺乏双手，它们可能会用嘴去探索不熟悉的物体。与人类不同，鲨鱼并无恶意；它们只是履行着自然赋予它们的职责。空中/海上灾难是导致人们进入鲨鱼日常捕食业务的意外事故。由于人类对人类的残酷行为，战争期间的鲨鱼损失是人为的。空中/海上灾难以黄色标注。可疑事件 - 当缺乏足够的数据来确定伤害是否由鲨鱼造成或人体溺水后被鲨鱼捕食时，此类事件以蓝色标注。在少数情况下，尽管媒体报道相反，但证据表明鲨鱼根本没有参与。此类事件在蓝色标注。本网站上的所有数据均来自全球鲨鱼攻击档案（GSAF），这是一份由鲨鱼研究学院编制的人类/鲨鱼互动电子表格。希望本网站能够明显表明鲨鱼攻击是极为罕见的事件，同时为那些希望了解更多关于该主题的人提供易于获取的资源。
