The Great White Shark is considered the "#1 deadliest" due to having the most recorded unprovoked attacks and fatalities, followed closely by the Tiger Shark and Bull Shark, which are also highly dangerous due to their presence in coastal areas and opportunistic feeding habits. While Great Whites are powerful apex predators, Bull Sharks are known for their aggression and ability to live in both saltwater and freshwater, making encounters more likely.
