    Attacks: 34 Fatalities: 1The hammerhead sharks are actually a family of sharks (Sphyrnidae) which range in size from less than a metre (3ft) to over 6 metres (20ft). It is believed the strangely shaped head allows the shark better all round vision. To most observers the different species are difficult to tell apart, especially when they’re biting y...

    Attacks: 41 Fatalities: 1The blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) is both common and widely distributed throughout the tropical /subtropical shallows of the world. It gets its name from the black tips and fringes to its fins and tail. Generally blacktips are fairly small measuring less than 5ft (1.6m), however bigger specimens can reach up to 9ft...

    Attacks: 64 Fatalities: 2Many people are familiar with the sand tiger (Carcharias taurus) as the large sharks you see when visiting an aquarium.

    Attacks: 32 Fatalities: 4Another member of the requiem shark family, the Blue Shark (Prionace glauca) is one of the most widespread and common sharks.

    Attacks: 35 Fatalities: 2The bronze whaler or copper shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) gets its name from its colouring and the fact that this and other sharks would congregate at the sites of whale kills in the days of whaling. It is common in war, but not tropical waters around the world where it spends its time in shallow bays, harbours and estuar...

    Attacks: 45 Fatalities: 3The shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), or blue pointer, is a member of the mackerel shark family (Lamnidae).

The warm-blooded mako can grow to a fair size....

    Attacks: unknown Fatalities: manyThe oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) is the first of the sharks on this list I would genuinely classify as a “man-eater”. It has almost definitely killed more people than all the other sharks put together. The reason it is not at the top of the list is the vast majority of these attacks were complete...

    Attacks: 155 Fatalities: 29The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is big, common and aggressive. The name comes from both its temperament and the stripes running down its sides. It is also known as “the garbage can of the sea” as it commonly swallows anythings it comes across. Objects recovered from tiger sharks’ stomachs include bottles, tires, cloth...

    Attacks: 104 Fatalities: 26The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is considered to be the most dangerous shark of all by many. However, it doesn’t seem to have acquired quite the reputation of the great white and tiger sharks. There are several reasons why this shark is considered particularly dangerous including its physical attributes. Bulls also g...

    Attacks: 400+ Fatalities: 74Just the name Great White Shark is enough to send people running from the beach. Already notorious the Jaws movies of the 1970s further demonised this shark (if that was necessary?!) and consolidated its reputation as a man eater. Carcharodon carchariasis though, without doubt, one of planet Earth’s ultimate killing mach...
