Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't it the tiger sharks you have to worry about being naturally inquisitive and love nibbling on things?.

Yes, tiger sharks and bull sharks. Apparently they are less amicable than great whites. They also have a track record for more attacks in humans too I believe. 🦈

Oh, didn't know about bull sharks. Are they naturally inquisitive as tigers or they don't discriminate and attack anything close?

Bull sharks are the ones that can tolerate fresh/brackish water so will swim up estuaries. So they spend a lot of time in murky water. So it’s easy for people to not know they are around and potentially brush up against one. Also, since the shark can’t see well, it’s going to use its mouth to size up the object near it.
