Best Shark Species

The Top Ten

  1. Great White Shark

    The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the white shark, white pointer, or simply great white, is a species of large mackerel shark found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. It is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing up to 6.1 m (20 ft... read more

    They're the biggest predatory sharks ever. If you ever encounter another dangerous shark like a bull or a tiger, just hope there's a great white there to save you.

    I love sharks and have always wanted to see a great white. It's sad that they die in aquariums.

    The great white is the most recognizable shark ever. It's the one mostly used in movies, so everybody knows it. In my opinion, it is the king of the sharks.

  2. Tiger Shark

    The tiger shark is a species of requiem shark and the only living member of the genus Galeocerdo. It is a large macropredator that can grow to over 5 meters in length. Tiger sharks are commonly found in tropical and temperate waters, particularly around central Pacific islands.

    The most dangerous shark I'd want to swim with.

  3. Hammerhead Shark

    My all-time favorite shark. It's like a great white with a hammer for a head! It's just awesome!

  4. Whale Shark

    The whale shark is the world's largest living shark as well as the largest living fish. Whale sharks grow up to 45 ft (13.7 m) long and can weigh as much as 13 tons (11.6 tonnes). Their mouths alone are a whopping 6 ft (1.8 m) across. This is big enough to gulp down three percent of their body weight... read more

    While it looks like a terrifying giant, this shark is completely harmless. It feeds on plankton.

    Largest shark ever! The whale shark is the ocean's gentle giant.

    World's biggest fish right here.

  5. Mako Shark

  6. Bull Shark

    The bull shark is a requiem shark known for its aggressive nature and ability to thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments. It is often found in warm coastal waters and can travel far up rivers. Bull sharks are one of the few shark species known to tolerate freshwater for extended periods... read more

  7. Megalodon

    The megalodon, an extinct species of shark, lived until about 1.5 million years ago. It reached lengths of up to 59 feet (18 meters), making it much larger than today's great white shark.

    Megalodon had more than 250 large, razor-sharp teeth, and its massive jaws could easily swallow a human. Fossils... read more

    It should be #1 for many reasons:

    A. It's a badass.

    B. It's 60ft (18m).

    C. The great white (the closest relative of the Meg) can swim up to 35mph, so imagine the Meg's speed.

    This should be number 1 because this is the most dangerous shark that ever lived.

    I would go wild if we were to discover this shark somewhere, deep in the ocean. It's never going to happen, mind you... but it would be awesome.

  8. Great Hammerhead Shark

    The biggest of the hammerhead species, there are only 10 known species to exist, and I pick this one.

  9. Basking Shark

  10. Shortfin Mako

    Totally the best shark - it's got the shape, the teeth, the coloring, the eye... and it will kill you.

    That picture is intimidating.

    11. The Newcomers

    Spinner Shark

  12. ?

    Zebra Shark

    13. The Contenders

  13. Greenland Shark

    The other comment is a lie. These sharks are extremely docile, and you can even swim with them. Look it up.

    This thing can devour a human. We just do not swim in the cold waters. This shark ate fish, polar bears, deer, and much more.

  14. Sand Tiger Shark

  15. Angel Shark

  16. Blue Shark

  17. Goblin Shark

    Goblin sharks are deep-sea sharks notable for their strange appearance and scientific value. They are most recognized for their protruding flattened snout, giving them a distinctive "goblin-like" look. These sharks live at great ocean depths around the world and are sometimes called "living fossils"... read more

  18. Nurse Shark

    The first shark I ever saw in the ocean were two. One was around 7 ft, and the other was a bit bigger. My brother, my uncle, and I fed it some fish. I was 10 or 11 at the time.

  19. Oceanic Whitetip Shark

  20. Lemon Shark

  21. Thresher Shark

    Gotta recognize them for using unique strategies.

  22. Epaulette Shark

  23. Megamouth Shark

    Megamouth sharks are a species of deepwater shark that were first discovered in 1976 when a U.S. naval ship found one caught on its sea anchor. Scientists named the shark megamouth because of its unusually large mouth. Since then, the species has remained extremely elusive. As of May 2017, only 63 specimens... read more

  24. Scalloped Hammerhead Shark

  25. Blacktip Reef Shark

  26. Whitetip Reef Shark

  27. Cookiecutter Shark

    I can't imagine what caused this shark to evolve the peculiar jaws it has.
