Actually, the bull shark, while be very aggressive, is not the most dangerous.
The bull shark is probably the fourth most dangerous shark. These sharks are very dangerous (as mentioned above) because they are known to be able to survive in fresh water as well as salt water.
Next, comes the tiger shark, these can get up to twelve feet long and they are VERY aggressive. There are a lot of known attacks from these sharks and you should be very, very careful around these animals.
Next in line is the great white. These sharks can get up to twenty feet long and are the largest sharks next to their ancient cousins, the megalodon which could grow up to 60 feet long (however you don't need to fear. These beasts are exitnct.) These sharks are the usual causes of attaks because they can survive in water temperatures down to 54 degrees.
While most people consider the great white the most dangerous shark, they are sadly mistaken. The real culprit is the Oceanic White Tip. They can sense a ship sinking from up to a mile away. They are very fast swimmers and are usually the first on the scene to investigate an interesting noise.
Ever heard of the U.S.S Indianapolis disaster? Of 896 men that went into the water when the ship was sunk due to a torpedo, only 317 were rescued. Some falling victim to dehydration and exposure, but most others being attacked and in some cases devoured by prowling White Tips.
But the white tip only haunts the deep waters so worrying about them trying to eat you in deep water is silly.
