World's Deadliest Sharks

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

   Great White sharks are not as deadly as most think. Most attacks are accidental, and shark attacks are rarer (estimated) than a plane crash, and the bite is usually a test bite. Sharks tend to disfavor humans for food anyways due to our bony bodies to them, and were often mistaken for seals, a favorite for them. And why are people so scared if WE are the ones who are threatening them to extinction? We need to stop killing endangered animals, people!

   I was watching shark attacks and the Great White Shark will not know the difference between a person or a seal because they have little legs but the shark will still think it is a person cause because they both have legs and arms but the seal just a little shorter that is mainly why they eat people and seals because they do not know the difference. If you have questions you can comment and leave a message for me.

2. 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

   Bull Shark is 100% the deadliest in my opinion. Just because they don't get a lot of fame from movies, doesn't mean they arnet deadly. They can swim in freshwater as well as salt so they can live almost anywhere, they have high testosterone and are territorial so will attack almost anything! Great whites it is usually mistaken identity or test nibble and then the spit ya out. Bulls don't care what it is they will just attack. That being said they are still beutiful sharks and need our protection not being culled that is bad

   Bull sharks are mean sharks that can be in both fresh and salt water so that can be a problem. Though despite the bull shark being in the fearsome three (it, tiger shark and great white shark), the tiger shark and itself has kills in the double digits while the great white shark has kills in the triple digits. Don't get me wrong, very good silver medal but when it comes to statistics you can't argue with that

3. 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

   Megladon was the most dangerous shark that ever lived because it could kill ANY animal in the sea basically and the great white shark which is claimed to be the most dangerous shark ever are actually very weak compared to megladon the only reason megladon is extinct is because the temperature of the ocean got colder and they got weaker but great whites were used to it and it didn't effect them so scientist say that most likely that a great white shark bit a megladon causing is to bleed out fast because the water tempurature of the water effected it so much there for the megladon died and went extinct

   How is this 3rd? This is the deadliest shark. It was probably placed third because it is old and extinct and so other sharks such as Great whites or Bull sharks became deadlier than the Megaladon. The Megaladon is longer than the Titanic. It however holds record as the biggest animal alive. However it does not hold the record for being the biggest animal alive. Taken by the Blue whale. this beast could swallow about 40 - 70 Great whites and still be hungry after a large amount of food. I might be wrong on it's size and food but it's pretty big compared to many things. this was my opinion on the Megaladon. What's yours?

4. 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.

   I am 15 and I saw one of these before when I was boogie boarding on the water. It was about 11 feet long and it was coming towards me so I started to run with my board back to shore. I told my parents and they told the lifeguard, who actually did see it too, and started shouting through the megaphone to get out of the water. I was kind of traumatized for that vacation, but I still enjoyed it, because they had great ice cream. That's besides the point though. The point is, I saw one at 5 feet in the water, and that is rare, I think. I was shocked, but then later, my friends knew about it somehow and they thought I was really cool and brave. Basically, if you want to be popular at your school, you have to see a shark coming towards you. Nice society that we're living in.

5. Shortfin Mako

   

   Ok, mako sharks are scary all the way. Something tells me this thing should even be ahead of the megalodon (because it's dead). Now the most deadly aspect about mako's is its sheer speed. But then again out of all the shark attacks a year by a mako (about 20), there is an average of just 4 fatalities. That sounds like a lot until compared to by great white sharks, bull sharks and tiger sharks. Mako deadly not deadliest.

   This is my favorite shark. This should be number 1. It is the fastest shark in the world and a very large and dangerous shark. There has been 20 mako shark attacks a year. 4 are fatal. The size is 10 - 15 feet for this shark. Also, its life span can reach to 30 years max! MY FAVORITE SHARK :D Please like.

6. Oceanic Whitetip Shark

   

   Whitetip sharks are dangerous no question, also popular. Though again stated from "titan", only 5 people died from that creature. The ship story in Indianapolis sounds a little sketchy to be true. And if it was, it was multiple sharks not one. I mean if I said three great whites were biting your body to pieces what would you say about that. Again deadly, but not deadliest.

   This shark killed hundreds of crew members from the Indianapolis when it was down. 900 crew members escapedtho the water, and only 316 were saved. Tue Whitetips have feeding frenzies which are insane. This shark is brutal, and is a natural predator. Amazing

7. Hammerhead Shark

   

   Hammer heads look ferocious at first and can be if not dealt with correctly but think about it, how many fatalities has it done a year? That I'll leave you to research

   This shark can nearly shred any stuff one day I went to USA then saw a hammer head with 5 Swiss Army knives in its gut

   This is my favorite shark besides tiger sharks

8. Sandtiger Shark

   

   I think that the sandtiger shark should be number 5 or 4 because if you look at the teeth you'll freak I know a lot about sharks but the sandtiger shark has about only a couple attacks thanks!

   If anything this should be one if the last. Sand sharks are completely harmless to humans. They only attack if they are messed with first.

   They look scary but have never attacked a human. All they eat are crabs anyway. That's why they have the sharp teeth

9. Blue Shark

   

   Ready to kill you blue sharks are extremely deadly but not deadliest, still very dangerous creatures

   More deadly then the extinct Megalodon

   Blue Sharks have NEVER attacked humans

10. 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

    The Goblin Shark has only been seen about 50 times since it's discovery in 1897. It's a strange shark, indeed, with its protrusible jaws and crooked teeth. I can see where it gets its name.

    I don't know how you would think a deep sea dweller like that would be a threat to humans.

    Yeah it's scary, but it's been reported to not be naturally aggressive towards humans

    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

    Man its dangerous it just lives in deep waters where no one swims. In fact, it could probably beat the Great White Shark in a fight.

    Silky Shark

    
The Contenders

13. Lemon Shark

    

    Leomen sharks are really aggressive you can get killed in you go to close to them

    20 reported deaths since 1892 make this shark very dangerous. Aggressive if provoked.

14. Thresher Shark

    

    Tail can grow about it's body length which they can grow to 10-12 feet with tails up to 11ft! One whip of the tail can knock you unconscious and can even kill

    They have the longest tail of all sharks. They also have shorter snouts and big round eyes.

    The shark's tail is powerful, able to knock you unconscious, paralyze you, and even kill you

15. Greenland (Sleeper) Shark

    

    It can grow pretty big and live long and has poisonous flesh so if another predator eats lots of it raw it would die.

    Deadliest shark alive. Big, fast and with amazingly deadly jaws, it deserves to be number one.

    I don't get how you could put a shark like that in the contenders.

16. Leopard Shark

    

    These sharks kill more people every year than Great Whites! Definitely should be number 1!

    Its small but its teeth can knock you out

17. Blacktip Reef Shark

    

    They are a close relatives to the white tip sharks often found together in feeding frenzies.

18. Basking Shark

    

    If this shark bashes into your boat you will be knocked out

    And it the 2nd largest shark behind the harmless whale shark

    What? This is such a friendly shark with the whale shark, they are called gentle giants for a reason.

    This thing will scoop you up. But otherwise, it is harmless.

19. Dwarf Lanternshark

    

20. Angel Shark

    

21. 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

    They are not deadly! I went to the Atlanta Georgia aquarium (the only aquarium to ever have whale sharks) and man were they beautiful! Too bad one of them passed away recently. RIP Whale Shark.

    This is not a dangerous shark. These beauty's are very gentle to scuba divers, and although they do look dangerous to people who don't recognize them, they are mostly harmless. Their diet consists of only Plankton, too.

    Actually, the Whale Shark isn't really a threat to humans. It doesn't mess with humans and feeds on small things like plankton and shrimp. Some people need to watch more educational programs or do more research.

22. Hybodus

    

    Why are their extinct species on here?

23. Salmon Shark

    

24. Sevengill Cow Shark

    

25. Grey Reef Shark

    

26. Cookie Cutter Shark

    

    It is not capable of killing a whale they are one of the smallest sharks there is.megalodon is the only shark that can kill a whale in one bite get your facts right

    Cookie cutter shark should be the top 10 because they will kill u

    Made a hole in a sub once.Capable of killing a whale in one bite.Makes circular bites in people.

27. Cretoxyrhina

    

    This shark is extinct, so why is this on this list?
