And today's good news the number of unprovoked shark attack incidents decrease significantly in twenty twenty four. The latest International Shark Attack File showed that there were forty seven unprovoked attacks worldwide last year, a decrease of twenty two incidents from the previous year.
Billy bullied me about that good news, but hey, I think a decrease is good news. And thank you for joining us for another week of the Daily OS. If you are looking for something else to listen to that's not about sharks, make sure you catch up on today's Deep Dive, where we unpack the story of Bell Gibson.
We'll be back tomorrow with all of the good news you might have missed from the week. Hopefully it's better than chasing shark attacks. Until then, have a great evening.
