Everybody chill. Most sharks are not dangerous to humans — people are not part of their natural diet. Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals. Only about a dozen of the more than 300 species of sharks have been involved in attacks on humans. Hell, you’re more likely to get killed by a vending machine than a shark. True story. That said, here are the sharks that have been responsible for the most attacks on humans. Enjoy!
