Top Ten Harmless Shark Species
XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX Sharks are often seen as deadly predators, but these shark species are nothing close to being deadly predators. Actually, all sharks are quite harmless if you don't mess with them, but these sharks are the most harmlessThe Top Ten

It might be the most gentle shark ever
Adorable whale shark. Look at its mouth.-Vestalis
This shark is just so cool! it just looks like a whale
Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the a large species of shark, by far the largest fish species, found in tropical and warm seas. It's the only member of its genus
This thing is a giant, but it only eats planktons. It's beautiful too... - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX

Megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is a rare species of shark
Self-explanatory, it's a shark with a big mouth. Same thing as the whale shark, it feeds on planktons - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX

Aww, how adorable. He doesn't look horrifying, give him some love.-Vestalis
Goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a rare species of shark sometimes called the "living fossil" found in depths greater than 100m (adults found deeper than juveniles). It's the only extant member of its genus
This guy may look horrifying, but hey no need to be too afraid of it. It lives at the deep-sea, which is far far away from us - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is a large species of shark, second largest fish species after the whale shark found in temperate oceans
Same thing as the whale shark. A giant, but only eats planktons - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Wobbegong is a common name given to 12 species of carpet sharks found in shallow tropical waters of western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean (except for the Japanese wobbegong which occurs as far north as Japan)
This thing may not look like a shark at all, but it's a shark. It spends most of its time resting on the sea floor, feeding on little fish. It's harmless, yes, but it's sometimes accidently stepped on or touched by people, which causes it to bite those people - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Sandtiger shark (Carcharias taurus) is a species of shark found in subtropical and temperate waters
While it's a close relative of the fierce and dangerous great white shark, and the name is similar to the crazy-eating-machine tiger shark (this guy eats ANYTHING, including things that aren't even edible, like tyres, nails, etc), it's harmless to us, despite looking fearsome and being a strong swimmer - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a small species of shark found in tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Ocean
Not to be confused with the blacktip shark, which is responsible for some shark attacks (not all of those attacks are fatal though) - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) is a small species of shark found across the Indo-Pacific region. It's the only member of its genus
Not to be confused with the aggressive oceanic whitetip shark - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
School shark (Galeorhinus gales) is a species of houndshark found in temperate seas at depths down to about 800m. It;s the only member of its genus
We usually see sharks as a threat, but actually, WE are a threat to this shark. Its other name is soupfin shark, and of course, it got its other name for a reason... - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
Crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) is a small species of mackerel shark found in tropical waters
That name alone sounds like something that would come out from your nightmares, right? Despite that, this shark is considered harmless to us - XxDarkStorm_PhoenixMothxX
The Contenders
Greenland shark!
