Sharks Attack More During a Full Moon

According to PETA, a shark is less likely to kill you than a champagne cork. Shark attacks are considerably more uncommon than most people realize, whether or not that is totally accurate. In 2020, unprovoked shark attacks claimed the lives of only 10 individuals. However, if you want to increase your chances of avoiding the net group of 10, pick your dive time properly.

It seems that sharks are the sea's equivalent of werewolves. When compared to other periods of the month, attacks typically occur more frequently during a full moon. More attacks occur when the moon is full. This gives the impression that shark attacks may increase because of the moonlight, despite the fact that most attacks actually take place during the day and coincide with these lunar phases.

Given how the tides affect the oceans, we are aware that the moon has a distinct impact there, but it is also plain that some sharks get upset by it.
