Most terrifying Sharks – Sharks are one of the most dangerous, terrifying, and misunderstood creatures on planet earth. Many of us fear them, stemming from the few shark attacks that do happen each year. Although you are more likely to be killed by a car crash or a falling coconut than a shark, the fear remains. In fact, you’re statistically more likely to be killed by a cow, and most people aren’t scared of those at all. So why are we so afraid of sharks?

Maybe it’s the fact that they are masters of their domain. We might be king of the land, but when we go into the water, we’re in their territory. They can outswim us, outmaneuver us, and they are most definitely stronger than us. They can kill us with just one bite – and even if we manage to get away, death from blood loss is still likely to occur in almost all cases.
Then there’s the fact that some of them are just downright terrifying. In honour of the scariest creatures of the seas, we bring you a list of the 12 types of shark we would least like to meet underwater. Even if we were in a cage, these species are so terrifying that we wouldn’t want to meet them at all. Just remember while you read this article that these guys are lurking in the seas and oceans of the world, just waiting to say hello. They probably wouldn’t mind being the last thing you ever see…
12. Black or White Tip Reef Shark
The reason this shark is so scary is because it looks like the kind of archetypal shark you might expect to get the munchies for your leg. They’re also prominent in a lot of popular holiday destinations where you might get into the water. The Maldives are home to them, for example, as are the seas off Australia and Costa Rica.
Generally speaking, these sharks are actually quite timid, and will swim away when you approach them. Unless they think you’re a fish. Or you have a fish that they want.
They have been known to “argue” with spear catchers, even engaging in tugs of war over bait which have led to fishers being dragged overboard. They don’t actively engage with humans, however. Going fully under the water is often enough to discourage them, as it prevents them from mistaking your feet and legs for a smaller creature.
