None, they are all out to kill, if you encounter one it will kill you. It will hurt, and you will bleed, a slow and painful death.ANSWERSharks do not seek out and kill humans. Occasionally some sharks, such as the great white shark, attack humans because they mistake them for their preferred prey (seals in the case of the great white). Shark attacks are relatively rare, although I don't advise going up close with most species of shark without a professional. Most species of large sharks have been known to attack humans occasionally, although the whale shark (the largest species of shark in the world) are not known to have ever purposefully attacked a human, although an accidental blow from its tail could be dangerous.

Sharks can not eat whale sharks as whale sharks are proportionally bigger than sharks.

Megalodon, and in the same waters.That contributed for the whale shark to be included in the megalodon's menu although they have been extinct for millions of years.
