      "Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red"

      @Seaworth Don’t kid yourself. When a shark hasn’t caught a seal for a few days, just about anything is on the menu - just like that poor Russian kid who got ate by a tiger shark in Egypt last week. Oh, and sometimes when they take a curiosity bite, it’s usually the initial taste of the wetsuit that repels them - like when they know within a millisecond they are biting into a decoy seal.

Also, not every attack is an accident and there are 2 reasons for this. Great whites and tiger sharks are pretty curious creatures and bite people in a gentle way. People bitten by sharks say they don't even feel the pain. The second reason for attacks are territorial reasons, big sharks are pretty territorial of their kill since other sharks and predators want their food.
