Are sharks the most dangerous animals in the world?

Answer 1

Depends on the species.

The two biggest, the basking shark and the whale shark, are filter feeders and can't hurt humans unless they ram or swipe at you.

Many are too small to be a realistic threat.

Sharks will eat a dead animal, and kill if necessary. But shark attacks to humans are quite rare. If you are swimming where sharks are, the shark might mistake you for a seal, a dolphin or some other animal. In fact, it is extremely rare for a shark to attack a human knowing what their victim is. Sharks can smell blood from miles away, and are easily attracted to it.

Answer 2

Yes. The tiger shark and the bull shark are the most dangerous. Lots of people think the great white shark is but that's wrong. They may have a good attack but the other two are more dangerous.

Answer 3

The Cousteau Society (see link) says:

...more people die each year from bee stings than from shark bites.

So far it is but there is more species to be discovered. Divers in sea have seen creatures that are over 600feet long!!!. but they said dont worry they are seaweed eaters not meat eaters.

Answer 4

Depends a bit on how you measure dangerous, but in the bigger picture far more people are killed by cows and horses than by sharks every year.

Answer 5

No it is the most dangerus shark but not most dangerous animal.

Answer 6

Although sharks seem very deadly, and are quite powerful, the number of shark deaths in comparison to mosquito bites or bee stings are way fewer.
