10 Deadliest Sharks
Good show on the Discovery Channel on the
10 most dangerous sharks. Showing again Dec 1st, 2nd, 3rd. http://dsc.discovery.com/tvlistings/...=0&channel=DSC 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. More information http://www.sharks.com/ 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. |
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. RB 35s5...sharkproof! NY |

Hmmmm, Interesting.
I have pics here of my daughter at 14 swimming with grey reef sharks. They are virtually harmless so it doesn't say much for 7 8 9 and 10 I've handled a Spitting Cobra in the years when my father did lectures for the NY Zoological Society, but it does not make them safe. I've handled a lot of deadly animals in fact....Coral snakes, Eastern Diamond Backs and even a darling little Brazillian Yellow scorpion, whose sting is pretty awful. Don't play with them...and don't screw with sharks. RB 35s5 NY |

In bright light, in shallow water, a well fed reef (nurse or sand) shark is no more dangerous than a kitten... feeding cues are totally absent... safe for people to get their picture taken cuddling them! Hammerheads can definitely be killers. I'm surprised they're not higher up the list, although maybe it's because they don't usually grow big enough to seem like a threat. But even a relatively small shark can cause a serious enough injury to be fatal, and once blood is in the water then all the sharks within reach will attack. But the statistics show that sharks really aren't that dangerous... more people die of bee stings every year. DSK |

But the statistics show that sharks really aren't that
dangerous... more people die of bee stings every year. The gore associated with such an attack, played up by Hollywood to great effect has made shark attack appear to be a rough way to go. The man eating shark does manage to be a true monster capable of living up to it's billing. Burning is worse as is slow suffocation. RB 35s5 NY |

60 mph is exaggerating and guessing. "Capt.

I'm going from memory. I ws pretty sleepy while
watching the show. The list was based on the number of attacks and the number of fatalities. The number of fatalities was pretty low 0 to 3 fatalities at the bottom of the list, increasing to138 for the Great White. Many of these sharks hit and run. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/sharks1.html "DSK" wrote OzOne wrote: Hmmmm, Interesting. I have pics here of my daughter at 14 swimming with grey reef sharks.

I really wasn't planning on going overboard any time soon....and we probably
won't do much more than coastal cruise anyway since we're not set up for offshore sailing at all...we'd have to either get a macerator pump or get the y-valve replaced and we don't have a radar...there's nothing wrong with coastal cruising...especially when you have wide open spaces like Pamlico and Abermerle Sounds to explore....
