Default 10 Deadliest Sharks

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.
