10 Most Dangerous Creatures On Earth

10. Bull Shark

The deadliest shark in the world is not the Hollywood favourite great white, but its much smaller and aggressive cousin, the bull shark.

Bulls are unique due to the ability they have to traverse from their oceanic roots and survive in fresh waters, finding themselves at home in much shallower water than other sharks. These waters can be as little as a metre deep, meaning they come into contact with humans more frequently than any other shark.

As the name suggests, the belligerent nature of the sleek predator is similar to that of a raging bull, using sheer ferocity to overpower its prey. This aggression paired with an ability to sink its razor sharp teeth into prey at over 5,900 newtons makes this beast truly terrifying. Due to the extremely territorial nature of the bull, it has become synonymous with unprovoked attacks due to its need to assert dominance.

The deadly streak in these majestic sharks is used to rule the waters, making these apex predators a terrifying feat of nature.
