4. Requiem Shark
Species: Carcharhinus spp.
Total number of attacks: 51
Requiem sharks belonging to the genus of Carcharhinus are very hard to distinguish from other species, which is why the Florida Museum is the most uncertain about the number of attacks originating from these specific sharks. They are of the view that the actual number may be much bigger than the one currently recorded because some attacks go unreported, owing to the fact that the attacker could not be readily identified. Taking that into consideration, the requiem shark may be more aggressive that it is given credit for.
