Believe it or not, great white sharks are not the scariest sharks in the ocean.

When we think of the scariest, most dangerous shark in the ocean, many of us immediately think of the great white shark. Our minds conjure up an image of a huge, gaping mouth, a large gray body marked with battle scars, and razor-sharp teeth, and we start sweating at the mere thought of sharing the water with such a creature. While that idea is correct in many ways— great whites indeed are the most common perpetrators of shark attacks on humans—the lesser-known tiger shark, also known as the man-eater shark or the sea tiger, is not far behind when it comes to violence and ferocity.
