Depending on what type of shark it is but the great white shark doesn't have a set amount of times it eats instead Great white sharks assess the energy value of prey in the first bite. If the prey doesn't have enough energy value to justify the energy needed for a full-scale attack, the shark releases it. If however the great white perceives the prey to be energy rich, it will give a devastating, powerful bite and wait for the prey to bleed to death. White sharks swallow creatures without chewing them, and can swallow objects half their size.
