The Carcharodon carcharias or the "White Shark" seems to be the most dangerous shark with 373 attacks.
Added by Sarahgtucker: the great white shark is assumed to be the most dangerous shark in the world due to all its bad publicity in the ocean and with Jaws. actually, the most dangerous shark is the bull shark often found in the Mississippi River, the Tennessee River, and the ocean will eat anything. it is the only shark that can live in fresh and salt water. the great white only attacks people when it is starving to death or thinks it is its food. the bull shark will eat anything no matter what it is.
Great White
At the top of the list (in terms of recorded attacks 1580 to 2002), the Great white appears at the top of the list, with 373 recorded attacks. After the Great White, the Tiger shark has 137 recorded attacks. Then comes the Bull shark, the sand tiger, blacktip, requiem, hammerhead blue blacktip reef, and shortfin mako sharks. Still, these are just based on the recorded attacks. I would imagine there have been many others not recorded. (Mongabay.com)
The most dangerous shark, easily in the lead of "most recorded attacks" with over 200, is the Great White Shark. This is the species of Shark that the Horror movies "Jaws" are centered on.
The Great White is able to consume 20-30 pounds of flesh with each giant, sharp-toothed bite, with the force of each bite measuring over 1 ton per square inch.
However, They usually stay in deep waters and are fairly rare.
With out a doubt, it is the great white shark. The great white is the only shark known to actually kill humans on purpose and not just because they thought it was a seal.

That is false. The most dangerous type of shark either the bull shark of the tiger shark. They are the all around most aggressive. The great white is seen as the most dangerous simply because it is the most famous due to Jaws, but in reality it isnt. And I have never heard of a shark killing humans on purpose.
