Shortfin Mako
Another aggressive species is the shortfin mako. As far as the records go, this shark has attacked 45 times and killed three people. Unsurprisingly, as part of the mackerel family, it’s relatives with the great white. Adults grow up to ten or even fifteen feet. Known for their incredible speed at 46 mph, you can forget about out swimming this beast. Actually, they’ve landed in fishing boats several times because of their outrageous leaps. Wow, you aren’t even safe in a boat!

Sand Tiger
Perhaps, the fierce sand tiger is just as afraid of you as you are of it! Turns out, the species is vulnerable, not quite endangered, because humans hunt them for their meat. If you would rather not take your chances searching for a glimpse of the deadly creature in the ocean, you can find sand tigers in many aquariums. This shark, which can grow up to an incredible ten feet, has been recorded at twenty-nine attacks.
