Considered extremely dangerous, probably the most dangerous shark in the world.

They attack in poor light conditions and it is rare they will attack during the day.
When they attack they bite and tear, humans are more hard to digest so often they will take one bite and go!
Great whites when hunting can reach speeds of up to 40k and can launch themselves into the air sometimes as much as 10 meters which they regularly do to catch marine mammals such as sea lions. Ref: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/751
