The MEGALADON or

The Whale Shark, Rhincodon typus is the most humungous shark in the entire world. Luckily, they are not predators and are just another slow moving filter feeder similar to the Basking Shark. The Whale Shark can grow as long as 41 feet and weigh as much as 15 tons! The whale shark can be found in tropical and warm water oceans; they have been known to live as long as 70 years.

Despite the reputations of the great white and tiger sharks, the bull shark is probably the most dangerous. It enters fresh water at times, and is responsible for most shallow water coastal attacks.
