Good show on the Discovery Channel on the
10 most dangerous sharks.

Showing again Dec 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

10: Lemon Shark--8 feet, great night vision, likes shallow waters.
9. Blue Shark--8' - 13', Fastest shark.
8. Hammerhead Shark--Fastest turning, 7 senses
7. Sand Tiger Shark (Grey Nurse Shark)--10' - 14', found in numbers
around shipwrecks and plane crashes.
6. Grey Reef Shark--fights over food, attacks each other in mass feedings
5. Short Fin Mako--6' - 12' Fastest shark. Exceptional jumpers
4. Ocean White Tip--best sense of smell, numerous, very hungry.
3. Tiger Shark--10' - 20' and will eat anything
2. Great White--14' to 23' long. Attack from underneath into the air.
1. Bull Shark--8' long. Found in fresh up to 300 miles up river and salt
water--even some lakes. They sometimes school in large groups. Many
previous attacks attributed to the Great White were probably Bull
Sharks
--the most deadly shark.

I found it interesting that the ocean sharks are among the
most persistent and aggressive--because food is less abundant
offshore--something to think about.

I was also expecting the Bull to be #2 and the Great White to
be #1.

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.

Just ask "Two Bite Bob" for any info on how to evade shark attacks..... :-)

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

Check out the picture of the Shortfin Mako catching
some air. It is the fastest shark.

Nice.... but I've eaten all but maybe 3 of those types of sharks!

I don't go into the bush unarmed... and I follow that rule in the water.

Sure, do what Sloco does and stay away from the water.
