Tiger Shark
When people think about shark attacks, the image that most people have in mind is of a great white shark, like the one from Jaws. Despite being bigger and more powerful than tiger sharks, great white shark attacks are rare – and easier to manage.
While great white sharks are notorious for taking one large bite out of their meal and then fleeing, tiger sharks are infamous for attacking their victims repeatedly.
