Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier): Tiger sharks are known for their aggressive feeding behavior and broad diet, which includes marine mammals, sea turtles, and even other sharks.
Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas): Bull sharks are known for their tolerance of freshwater and are often found in rivers and estuaries.
Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Carcharhinus longimanus): This shark is known for its presence in open ocean environments and is considered one of the most dangerous sharks for shipwreck survivors due to its bold and persistent hunting behavior.
Mako Shark (Isurus spp.): Mako sharks are fast and powerful predators known for their aggressive behavior when hooked or threatened.
Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus): Despite being a filter feeder and not posing a direct threat to humans, the basking shark is included here due to its large size and occasional accidental collisions with boats.
Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus): The whale shark is the largest fish species in the world, reaching lengths of over 40 feet. Although it is gentle and primarily feeds on plankton, its immense size could pose a risk if accidentally struck by swimmers or boats.
