They are very active, fearless and potentially dangerous and have been known to approach divers and boats in the open sea. They have probably been responsible for attacks on people in open water from air and sea disasters.

Requiem Sharks have some of the most potentially dangerous sharks in their family and are responsible for over half of shark attacks. They can also be difficult to identify! Ref: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/carcharhinus-longimanus.html
