I knew there was a reason I liked trout streams , at least there i'm top of the food chain.
I'm sure the old Grizzly might disagree with you on that one. Having said that, at least you guys can carry protection in most areas that you are likely to encounter one.

Yeah luckily the streams I fish only have black bear . They usually leave as soon as they realize what you are . If not that's what the 44 or 10mm is for.

Am told that black bears kill more people than browns, grizzlies and polar bears. Probably true, more interactions I guess?
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
I've read that too , couple of reasons probably . Mainly like you said interaction and i've heard that when a black bear attacks he's looking at you as a food source.
Sharks and surfin' pretty much standard fare. Sometimes you see them, sometimes not, but they are always there. Only time I got the jitters from it was at Sebastian Inlet, FL when a great white presented as a silhouette view in the wave behind the one I rode. Ballpark 20' or so...sent me to the beach, the car and a different beach in that order. That said, I had more concern about tigers and lemons than the whites.
Tigers and Bulls here.

according to the news reports, the boy thought it was seaweed, and his board leash got caught on it. His father was taking pictures, thought he saw something odd. When the boy got back to the beach they were scrolling through the pictures and realized what it was.
anytime you get in the ocean past your knees you become part of the food chain.

Well in two weeks of summer Dec 19 -Jan 3 ,... 18 people drowned in home swimming pools, rivers, beaches, and that was only in one state...but no shark attacks were recorded in Aus. nationally.
No shark attacks in the swimming pools either.

There used to be a running joke in East Texas. Salesman or friend would ask what color you wanted the lure in. Answer would be, "Any color is fine, as long as its chartreuse".
Ha. Havent given that a thought in 40 years until remembering when, just now.

swimming pools alone take way more lives than sharks do each yr.
2016 shark attack deaths Aus. national total = 2 2016 drowning deaths Aus. national total = 280
So much paranoia about sharks, but so much complacency about a big killer with no teeth or appetite, water.
