While Bull sharks are the most likely to attack, they are not truly the
deadliest. Do the bite radius and dental profile, damage done by a single Great White bite is more likely to kill a human than one from a Bull shark. Most Bull shark victims survive. Quite a few missing swimmers in Australia may be full out consumption by Great Whites, a true man-eater. While I'm certain I could survive an attack due to my speed and strength, I'd do better not dealing with an animal as large as the White or Tiger. BTW, a Great White typically swims at a few knots with max speed of 15-20 MPH. A Blue shark can attain 60 MPH in short bursts. Pretty amazing. RB 35s5...sharkproof! NY |

The short fin Mako probably faster. Anyone who says
60 mph is exaggerating and guessing. "Capt.

Check out the picture of the Shortfin Mako catching
some air. It is the fastest shark. http://www.newenglandsharks.com/shortfin.htm "Capt.Mooron" wrote "Capt.
