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 |
