There are many marine animals in the oceans.And none of them is the source of such hatred, disgust and irrational fear, like a shark. This train has been continuously accompanying it, apparently, ever since the man decided to sail on the trunk of a fallen tree for the first time in history from one island to another. The whole history of navigation and exploring the seas and oceans is dotted with bloody meetings of the king of nature and the indomitable predator.
Самая опасная акула в мире представляет собой living machine of death, which natural evolution has polished and perfected over millions of years. The law of evolution was harsh, but not failing: if you do not have time to eat the prey, someone else will eat it. Or someone will eat you. And because of this incredibly subtle intuition, high-speed streamlined body and mouth, resembling a guillotine, made the shark almost invincible.
However, if you seriously considerwhat is the most dangerous shark for the human race exists, the usual ideas about the underwater beasts can seriously shake. What to choose as a criterion of danger? Certainly not the size: the 15-meter whale shark peacefully sways the toothless maw of plankton and good-naturedly allows the divers to ride on its back.
Frequency of attacks?It seems to be the right way, and here in the undisputed leaders of the white shark, in the bloodthirstiness of which there is no doubt. But is it because of this immediately label her ogre? It's crazy to read about it, but ichthyologists say: the white shark bites its prey ... for research purposes! And in the case of a man floats away, disappointed. Compared with any marine pinniped, this fatty bag, people have too large skeleton. A person, however, can be killed by such a "research" bite.
In recent decades, reasonablesuspicions that the most dangerous shark in the world is “disguised” as a young white individual, to which its bloody “feats” are attributed. This is a gray bull shark. Here appears a rational criterion for assessing the danger - aggressiveness. And in the case of the gray bull shark, even "turretless". An increased testosterone level was found in her blood, which explains her aggressive behavior. In a fit of insane rage, she literally attacks on everything that moves and is located in her territory. Even if it inflicts mortal wounds on her, like the blades of a ship propeller. Considering that this species is capable of living in fresh water for some time, the possibility of meeting it with a person and, therefore, the chances of getting the title of “the most dangerous shark in the world” increase significantly.
Another serious criterion for hazard assessment isunprovoked attacks on humans. If we proceed from this, it is generally recognized that the most dangerous sharks for humans are tiger, mako and hammerhead. As for the latter, it is true, they believe that it confuses people with its usual diet of the inhabitants of the coastal waters, but this does not make it less dangerous. Tiger sharks, sluggish in the normal state, completely uncontrollable in search of food. Probably easier to list that did not fall into their mouths. Once a tiger shark swallowed ... a depth bomb. True, this was her last meal: the fuse worked. As for the mako, there is only one fact documented. This shark is the only one among its kindred that jumped onto the land and tried to bite the man who wounded it!
The most dangerous shark in the world is also grayreef, long-winged oceanic, lemon, blue ... But this does not mean that all of them, without exception, are fiends. We do not consider elephants to be such, but they kill twice as many annually as sea predators. Sharks today are known for more than four hundred species, and the cannibal label can only be glued to a dozen of them. On the other hand, it is not infrequently that divers swim around quietly even beside deadly beasts. And this shows once again how little we know about the worlds of hydrocosmos ...
