How many people have been attacked by the White Shark in The last Century?
493842
I don't know about world-wide, but there have been 110 attacks in the US since 1926, very few of them fatal- Great Whites almost always take one bite, then as soon as they taste the person (presumably) they let them go- It's likely that they are fooled by the shape into thinking the person is a fish or seal, since attacks are especially targeted to people on surfboards, etc.  A study on hammerheads and another on tiger sharks showed that mechanical dummies, covered in fish chum, were not attacked if paddling legs back and forth, but the mechanical dummies where the legs were together were attacked.

Here's a big database of all that have been killed over there so far.\n\n\nAnswer your question?  Leave me the credit!   :-)

About a 110 billion humans.

Not to many, I would guess. People haven't lived in caves in quite some time, so probably it is limited to hermits and the horrible subspecies of Morlocks.\n\nBut if you mean "how many people live on the world," well then that is a different matter entirely.

I haven't heard of any shark species being endangered.  I know "Jaws" author Peter Benchley was an advocate of their conservation (which was reported at the time of his recent death), but I was and am still unaware that there was a need for conservation.  The only shark species I know to be extinct is the Megalodon (the much larger ancestor of the Great White).

hey bud - \n\ni have seen the film\n\nA Great White Shark decides to make the small beach resort town of Amity his private feeding grounds. This greatly frustrates the town police chief who wants to close the beaches to chase the shark away. He is thwarted in his efforts by the town's mayor who finally relents when nothing else seems to work and the chief, a scientist, and an old fisherman with revenge on his mind take to the sea to kill the beast.\n\nit is a great movie\n\nJaws won Academy Awards for Film Editing, Music (Original Score) and Sound. It was also nominated for Best Picture, although Steven Spielberg was not nominated for Best Director. The film is consistently on the Internet Movie Database's list of top 250 films.[11] Jaws was #48 on American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies, a list of the greatest American films of all time, and #2 on a similar list for thrillers, 100 Years... 100 Thrills. It was #1 in the Bravo network's five-hour miniseries The 100 Scariest Movie Moments (2004).[12] The shark was anointed #18 on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Heroes and Villains, opposite Robin Hood. In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. In 2005, the American Film Institute voted Roy Scheider's line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" as number 35 on its list of the top 100 movie quotes. John Williams's score was ranked at #7 on AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores.

I do not know exactly what you are looking for here. I guess you have never seen "Jaws". \nGreat whites are killers. They usually bump prior to attacking to test the weakness of their prey. Since their skin is like sandpaper, in the process of bumping it can cut skin. \n\nSharks have very acute senses; they can detect smell (like blood & urine) & vibrations from far distances. This is one reason you should never swim in the ocean with a dog. Their swimming makes vibrations that sound like struggling, inviting sharks to attack. \n\nFor more information on sharks read " Twelve Days of Terror: A Definitive Investigation of the 1916 New Jersey Shark Attacks" by Richard G Fernicola (ISBN 1585745758) & "Close to Shore" by Michael Capuzzo(ISBN 0767904141).

Yes sharks kill people unless a person shoves another person in a sharks mouth

I do now they replace their teeth every 6-8 weeks allowing the front row to drop out and a new row to come up behind. They typically have 2-4 rows of teeth showing at any one time. This means that the shark goes through thousands of teeth and hundreds of rows in a lifetime.\n\nThey must shed atleast 50,000 teeth then...if you're counting. Its one reason why prehistoric shark teeth are the most commonly found fossils.

There are sharks in all seas and oceans aaround the world. \n\nThere are many species of sharks found in the Mediterranean, especially in the western and central Med - including Hammerheads and Great Whites. Unfortunately the numbers of these sharks, of all sharks in the med, are in great decline and in many areas the numbers are close to non-existent. The culprit for this is commercial fishing (for blackfinn tuna and swordfish - both as a result of being caught in netsAND having their natural food sources depleted, in some cases to extinction - bluefin tuna became extinct in the Med in the 1940's)and, ironically enough, tourism. Especilly around Croatia in the late 90's there were several 'Jaws Tours'operating. The 'chumming' undertaken to attract sharks obviously attracted sharks into tourist areas which resulted in the culling of many, many sharks so as not to endanger tourism!\n\nSo, yes, there are sharks in the Med but I wouldn't be put of swimming in the Med as shark attacks here are almost non existent. Between 1508 and 2004 therewere a total of 38 shark attacks in European/Mediterranean waters. 18 of which were fatal with the last reported fatal shark attack being in 1984.  \n\nBut please get your friend to put the possibility of shark attack into persective. WORLDWIDE shark attacks between 1508 and 2004 totalled 1,986 of which 486 were fatal - in almost 500 YEARS! More people have been killed by deers running into their cars than by sharks!

Well the best thing to do is to keep away from them.  sharks usually don't attack humans unless they are provoked.  \n\nHowever, if a shark does try to attack, punching it in the noes does help.  a sharks noes is full of ultra-sensative nerves that helps them detect prey.\n\nAlso, avoid wearing yellow, black or silver when swimming in shark-infested waters.

The biggest Great White ever caught was a female of 6.4 meters, which was caught off Cuba in 1945. It weighed 3312 kilos and its girth reached 4.5 meters; several lorries were needed to tow and transport it. A 10 meter specimen is also said to have been captured, but neither photo nor expert account exists, only subjective statements. The record specimen are always female, since in the sharks, females have larger measurements than males.

There is 1 baby female living at Sea World San Diego, but I don't know if she's visible to the public. This little 7 footer currently has the record for surviving in captivity - 54 days as of 11/7/2006.\n\nGreat Whites don't survive after they're captured, and scientists are trying to figure out why. The previous record was 16 days back in August 1981.\n\nFor some reason, after about 10 days sharks stop eating, start swimming erratically, bumping off of walls, and eventually sink to the bottom of the holding tank, where they drown. If a shark doesn't keep water over its gills, it doesn't get any oxygen and dies.\n\nLots of things have proven to be involved - great whites can detect as little as 0.01 volts of electricity in the water. This transient voltage interferes with their guidance or feeding instincts and they batter themselves against the cage trying to get to the source of the signal. \n\nThe facility in San Diego has no electronics of any kind directly mounted on or near the tank. The tank is also significantly bigger than previous efforts: 1,000,000+ gallons. The researchers also took several days to acclimate the young shark in a fenced off area of the ocean, gradually reducing the size until it was the same size as its million gallon intended home.\n\nDespite years of research, very little is actually known about Great Whites. How deep they can go? What are their reproductive habits? How often do they give birth? Why are their movement patterns over a lifetime? All of these questions are still mysteries.\n\nGive it a few years. Once we get answers to some of the basic questions, we might be able to keep them in captivity. Hopefully we'll be able to not only learn from them, but protect them so our children and grandchildren can enjoy them, too.\n\nHope that answers your question,\nOdd

Really rare. It's nothing to really be afraid of only if you have a cut on you. If you have a cut I would storngly recommend staying out of the ocean for both your own and the public's safety since blood can attract sharks from miles away. This is why shark fishers dump blood and guts in the water when they're fishing for sharks.
