Although their dangerousness is often exaggerated, certain species can be aggressive, especially if they're hungry or during the breeding season. They're known for their sharp teeth and powerful jaws.

Bull Shark

Considered by many experts to be the most dangerous shark to humans due to its aggressive nature, presence in shallow waters, and tendency to frequent areas where humans swim.

Great White Shark

Famous for its size and role in the media as a fearsome predator, the great white shark is capable of causing fatal attacks on humans, although such incidents are rare.

Tiger Shark

While generally not aggressive towards humans, moray eels can inflict serious wounds if provoked. Their bites can lead to infections due to bacteria in their mouths.
