they circle the prey then strike from underneath
Sharks hunt by (if a school of fish) circling around the group forming them into a ball then the shark opens it mouth and swims threw the group. If a larger animal (like a Human) the shark will bite and rip the prey's limbs off. Note: Sharks usally take one bite of a human and spit it out.
sharks also detect their prey with sensory receptors that run along their sides. These receptors make up the "lateral line," an organ similar in function to the ear that can feel pulses or vibrations in the water. A shark might sense the flailing of an animal in distress and swim closer to investigate.
