The five most dangerous sharks

Reaching up to 14ft in length, the Great White has attacked more people than any other.

These are known to be both curious and aggressive when they encounter humans, and rank just below the Great White in number of known attacks.

With a speed of up to 20mph these are the fastest of any shark. Their population has been reduced due to the popularity of shark fin soup.

The Florida Museum says this shark 'should be treated with extreme caution' and is primarily found offshore.

Known to have attacked 69 people, experts believe the number could be much higher - potentially more than the Great White.
