1. Bull Shark (often mistaken for a great white. It is thought that most fatal great white shark attacks are often really bull shark attacks as they are one of the most aggressive of all sharks and look very much like a great white. The bull shark can also survive in fresh water for some time in rivers such as Indiana and Ohio river also is commonly found in the Mississippi River. It is commonly found in the waters and rivers in africa and south pacific islands.

3. Mako Shark (A deep water shark the Mako is the fastest swimming shark out there. They have been recorded at high speeds of 30mph and bursts of around 45mph.

4. Oceanic White Tip Shark (The Oceanic White Tip is the most aggressive of all sharks but is a slow swimmer. They are one of the most rarest seen sharks as they live in the extremely deep oceans. They can go on for weeks without finding food and are opportunistic as finding food in deep oceans can be rare and it has been observed eating whale feces. Before the modern era of when shark attacks were documented it is thought that the Oceanic White Tip has killed more humans due to shipwreaks in the deep ocean. There are stories where Oceanic's have feasted on hundereds of survivors of a sunken ship. If you ever survive a boat sinking in the deap ocean and the elements dont get you, better believe the oceanic white tip will find you and put you out of your misery. Your feces and urine you throw out of your life raft will only act as bait for these guys. Although all the fuss with its dangers divers have swam with them before.

5. Tiger Shark (Found in tropical or sub-tropical waters the Tiger shark is known for its rows of small curved serrated teeth made to cut through flesh and bone with the most ease. It is infamous for eatting ANYTHING! License Plates shoes and even other tiger sharks have been found in the bellies of these beasts! Some native Hawaiians consider this shark sacred.

Cookiecutter Shark

Isistius-brasiliensis.jpg

The name "cookiecutter shark" refers to its feeding habit of gouging round plugs, like a cookie cutter, out of larger animals. Marks made by cookiecutter sharks have been found on a wide variety of marine mammals and fishes, as well as on submarines, undersea cables, and even human bodies. It also consumes whole smaller prey such as squid. Cookiecutter sharks have adaptations for hovering in the water column and likely rely on stealth and subterfuge to capture more active prey. Its dark collar seems to mimic the silhouette of a small fish, while the rest of its body blends into the downwelling light via its ventral photophores. When a would-be predator approaches the lure, the shark attaches itself using its suctorial lips and specialized pharynx and neatly excises a chunk of flesh using its bandsaw-like set of lower teeth.
