America is turning into the shark attack capital of the world

The United States has become the shark attack capital of the world, amid a series of horrific infections in Florida, Texas, New York and California, according to the Daily Mail website.

Despite Australia's reputation as a hotspot for shark attacks, more than half of the world's 69 confirmed shark bites last year occurred in the United States.

These numbers, as well as the increased media interest in the attacks in America, have led many to wonder whether sharks around the coast of the United States are somehow becoming more aggressive.

Former President Donald Trump raised the idea that an increase in the number of battery-powered boats is causing humans to be attacked by sharks, and other experts have hypothesized that global warming and rising sea levels may be changing the behavior of the predators.

But experts told the Daily Mail that they believe it is a combination of the surplus of fish migrating to the coast and environmental conditions, while other experts said that the reason is America's efforts to clean the ocean.

Over the Fourth of July weekend, a 14-year-old boy was attacked while training as a lifeguard in Florida. When Dempsey Man Heart jumped into the water, he landed on top of a shark, which bit him in the leg before swimming away.

The teen was taken to the hospital where he needed 17 stitches to close the wound. Many experts believe that US conservation efforts to reduce pollution in the oceans have changed shark hunting behaviors, bringing them closer to land-based waters that were otherwise inhospitable to life.
