Default 10 Deadliest Sharks

The short fin Mako probably faster. Anyone who says
60 mph is exaggerating and guessing.

While I'm certain I could survive an attack due to my speed and
strength, I'd do better not dealing with an animal as large as the
White or Tiger. BTW, a Great White typically swims at a few knots with
max speed of 15-20 MPH. A Blue shark can attain 60 MPH in short bursts.
Pretty amazing.
