Sharks are very fierce animals, and they are often seen in TV programs and movies. So, do sharks really attack humans as shown in the movies? In fact, generally speaking, sharks will not take the initiative to attack humans, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke them, do not let them lose their temper. However, this is only in general, because different sharks have different personalities, some sharks will be more irritable personality, relatively easy to attack people, such as the great white shark.
In some cases, sharks will attack humans. For example, in the case of human injury and bleeding, sharks may be attracted, at this time sharks may attack humans. Another is when humans provoke them, especially when they encounter a more ferocious shark. In addition, sharks may attack humans by mistake, for example, when humans lie on surfboards, sharks may mistake them for their prey, such as seals, which will lead them to attack humans.
Whether sharks will eat people depends on the specific species, some species of sharks will eat people, some will not. For example, sharks such as whale sharks generally do not eat people, and basically do not attack humans. However, if the tiger shark, great white shark and other species, there will be the possibility of cannibalism. Nevertheless, humans themselves are not on the shark's diet, and it has been said that sharks do not attack humans on their own initiative, and cannibalism may only occur when they admit mistakes or are provoked.
