Indeed, as the unprecedented seven shark attacks in the span of a few weeks off the coast of North Carolina have shown, sharks are ace killers, apex predators perfected for the hunt. They pick up on the scent of blood from miles away, their sleek, torpedo-like bodies and powerful jaws no match for the unsuspecting fish or seal.
