Shark Bite

One half of shark attacks are attributable to great whites. New research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" and then releasing their victims rather than hunting humans.

Tiger sharks, large blunt-nosed predators, have a duly earned reputation as man-eaters and are second only to great whites in the number of recorded attacks.

The Great White, one of the most feared predators on earth, is an incredibly efficient hunter. Scientists have yet to understand the drive behind their feeding behavior.

"No other animal works as well... Anywhere they want to be, they can be, and then look at you, bare their teeth and sink back into the gloom. It's almost more terrifying than anything."

The megalodon is an extinct megatoothed shark that existed in prehistoric times and may have been the largest and most powerful macro-predatory fish in vertebrate history.

Great white sharks are the largest predatory fish on Earth. They are streamlined, torpedo-shaped, and have up to 300 serrated teeth arranged in several rows.

The Frilled shark has upwards of 300 three-pronged teeth. They can open their mouths extremely wide and swallow something up to one and a half times their length.

Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators with mallet-shaped heads that improve their ability to find prey. Their wide heads house a wide array of specialized sensory organs.

According to a new study, the world's slowest swimming shark may have evolved a slick move: sneaking up on snoozing seals.

A tremendous 18 foot great white shark was caught and released off the coast of Mexico. Scientists hope the behemoth can lead them to shark aggregation sites in the Pacific.
