So ladies and gentlemen, a lot of people tend to have discussions online about which shark species is the most dangerous, and some of you who have had an interest in sharks for a while would’ve heard the main names, such as great white, tiger, and bull shark. However, for me, another contender has come to my attention. Now, you’d think it’d be something like one of the two mako shark species, or another gruesome looking species like the sandtiger shark. No, it's what you’re seeing on screen right now. This little goober is the oceanic whitetip, or what some have dubbed the world’s most dangerous shark, and this brings up an interesting topic of shark attacks, and even other animals.
