Careful: Sharks May Like Your Swimsuit!

If you’re headed to the beach, you may not want to wear a swimsuit with a certain color combination.

A newly released study shows that a majority of shark attack victims in Florida were wearing black and white swimsuits. According to the study by the University of Florida, it’s the preferred color combo for sharks. The study, which looked at shark attacks over the past 52 years in Florida, said that swimsuits featuring a color combination of black and yellow were also common among shark bite victims.

Results also showed most bites happen on weekends and 90 percent of the shark attack victims were males, and 98 percent of them were white. Surfers account for at least 60 percent of bites.
