Which shark spieces attack the most people?

My guess would be the Bull shark, they are frequently in the shallows and that's where people usually are.

The biggest of the 9 hammerhead shark species is the great hammerhead.\nThe average great hammerhead shark is up to 11.5 feet (3.5 m) long. The largest reported was 20 feet (6 m) long. These large sharks average about over 500 pounds (230 kg) but can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds (450 kg). The width isn't listed but looking at pictures it seems the "hammer" width is about a third of the body length. Hope that helps.

I do not know exactly what you are looking for here. I guess you have never seen "Jaws". \nGreat whites are killers. They usually bump prior to attacking to test the weakness of their prey. Since their skin is like sandpaper, in the process of bumping it can cut skin. \n\nSharks have very acute senses; they can detect smell (like blood & urine) & vibrations from far distances. This is one reason you should never swim in the ocean with a dog. Their swimming makes vibrations that sound like struggling, inviting sharks to attack. \n\nFor more information on sharks read " Twelve Days of Terror: A Definitive Investigation of the 1916 New Jersey Shark Attacks" by Richard G Fernicola (ISBN 1585745758) & "Close to Shore" by Michael Capuzzo(ISBN 0767904141).

Hurricanes, earthquakes, mud-slides...natural disasters. Not to mention, we think we're the biggest, badest things on earth. The top of our food chain. Yeah. Right. Go swimming in the ocean w/ sharks. That's a really good way nature teaches us we aren't all that.

Ironically, sharks don't seem to much like the taste of human beings. \n\nUsually it's a case of "mistaken" identity, where they thought they were going after seals or some other aquatic food source. This is especially common when a human is paddling on a surfboard/kickboard -- the silhouette is that of a seal.\n \nMany times a shark will take a bite, then leave. Not nearly all shark attacks are fatal, often they're just long enough for the shark to decide better cuisine lies elsewhere.\n\n(Sharks in a "feeding frenzy" are a different story, where they simply attack anything within range.)\n\nI think they are terrifying simply because (1) it reminds us we are not in control as much as we think, (2) it dehumanizes us since the shark is viewing us as mere "food" rather than sentient beings with feelings, (3) the shark comes out of nowhere and could be lurking anywhere out of sight in the water, waiting to strike (at least, that's what it feels like), (4) physically we are weaker than the shark in its element, and (5) the wounds are terrible ones to suffer and/or look at, and loss of limbs and thus disability can occur.\n\nI think #2 is why people often "feel" as if sharks are evil.

never heard of sharks being mans best friends but I have heard of dogs being mans best friend and I know thats true at least for me. I love dogs but sharks not so much at all they need to come up with something better then that. Maybe instead of sharks they should say dolphins I love dolphins there sooo cute.

sharks are really not as dangerous as there reputations shows them to be.  more people are killed by flying toilet seats every year than sharks while we kill over 100 MILLION sharks every year.  Now to answer your question, there is no real set of rules but there are guidelines you should follow\n1. don't swim alone\n2. always keep your eye on the shark\n3. do not wear jewelry or anything else shiny\n4. try to avoid the colors orange or yellow\n5. don't panic

Sharks in general aren't very tasty.  I'd rather eat a Macrel.

The whale shark is the biggest fish.\nWhales are mammals and cannot be called "fish".

Shark as long as i wasn't bleeding as they most likely wont attack unless you are. Where as lion's see meat and want to eat. Depends if they have been in capitivity for a while though because then i'd go in the cage because the lions would be used to humans and wouldnt attack and i don't really like fish.

The sharks of course. Thornton is proven while the rest are wannabes.

I guess you wonder about the likelihood, not the possiblility. \nThe International Shark Attack File reports that since 2000 a downward trend both in numbers and in severity of attacks has been observed, incidents fell from 85 to 72 to 60 in 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, and fatalities from 13 to 5 to 3 in the same years.

The Tasmanian Devil (sarcophilus harrisii), a marsupial would for sure win the fight as it is an extremely aggresive animal and has very sharp teeth too. The devil will attack while a wolverine and badger would only defend themselves. The badger would lose the fight though.
