Tamara Jones+FollowShark Bites Back: Fisherman’s Wild EncounterA Nantucket fisherman tried to do the right thing by dragging a caught shark back to the ocean—only for the shark to chomp his leg! He’s not alone: a Florida surfer and even a 9-year-old snorkeler were bitten recently. Shark Week host Forrest Galante says we’re just guests in their house. With shark bites on the rise this summer, maybe it’s time to rethink those ocean dips! Would you still go in the water? #Science #SharkBite #SummerSafety31Share
Michelle York+FollowShark Bites: What’s Really Going On?Shark bites in South Carolina and Florida have everyone buzzing—two people bitten on Hilton Head in one week, and a 9-year-old girl in Florida nearly lost her hand while snorkeling! But here’s the wild part: experts say shark attacks are still super rare (you’re more likely to get struck by lightning). If you’re hitting the beach, remember: swim in groups, avoid shiny stuff, and stick to lifeguard zones. Sharks are out there, but attacks? Not as common as you think! #SharkBite #BeachSafety #HiltonHead #Science111Share
