This Wednesday, a shark was caught on camera off the coast of Alabama. This fact worries the population around the approaching 4th of July festivities. The video was shared on social networks and has already generated controversy, as the bathers can be seen quite calm.
This suggests that they are not even aware of the danger they are in. So far, the specifications of the marine animal are not known, but its size is quite small. What is worrisome is the possibility that there are some larger ones near the coast. Considering this fact, some recommendations have been issued to take care of yourself during the holiday.
The main way to avoid a fatal attack is to stay calm. Keep in mind that you should only get out of the water. Also, it is recommended to know very well the route to the nearest hospitals or assistance centers, considering that not all attacks are potentially deadly. Finally, this video is a reminder that shark attacks in the United States are common. In 2022, there were 57 unprovoked attacks, so be prepared and know the best ways to escape unharmed in the presence of one of nature’s most voracious predators.
