5. Blacktip Shark
Species: Carcharhinus limbatus
Total number of attacks: 29
Named after its fins, all of which have dark tips, the blacktip shark comes in contact with humans quite often due to its habit of remaining in shallow waters. However, they mostly make do with a single bite that leaves their victim seriously wounded, but luckily not dead. Only one of this shark’s unprovoked attacks have resulted in a casualty, while the consequence of the rest has been an injury.
