Shark Week: The Podcast

Man-Eating Sharks: Myth vs. Reality


Listen Later

FACT: Statistically, only 1 in 11.5 million people are bitten by sharks each year, a rare occurrence that contrasts sharply with the fearsome reputation sharks have in popular culture. FICTION: Hollywood often portrays sharks as relentless man-eaters, lurking in the waters to attack unsuspecting swimmers. Join host Kasha Patel as she dives into the reality of shark attacks, debunking myths with Behavioral Ecologist Dr. Tristian Guttridge and shark attack victim turned advocate Paul de Gelder.
