1. Territorial References: When it's mating season sharks attack other sharks in their territory, and humans may be seen as interlopers in a shark's territory. 2. Feeding: A shark may see a human splashing and mistake him for prey, especially on the surface where they only see the part of you that's in the water. 3. Self-Defense: If cornered or agitated, a shark may strike out at a perceived enemy.
1.They attack people because shark mistaken us as seals. Dont blame the shark he didnt know you were a human. Also some sharks are females and that they have babies. If you ever go near a female sharks terrritory they will kill anything that is in there way.

2. It is very uncommon for a shark to attack people, but if they do, they probably are hungry and think that the person they see is an animal like a seal.

3. They may also feel territorial and think that you are going to attack them so they attach you first.

4. They eat meat and if you are bleeding they smell it and will go into a frenzy until they find you and eat you.
Shark attacks are usually a case of mistaken identity. Most sharks eat primarily seals, and far from going out of their way to attack us, they usually avoid us. So why are people bitten by sharks? When a surfer is paddling out, they lay on their stomachs on their boards. The shark is swimming under the water and looking up. The shark sees the surfer from below. Outlined against the sun, laying on his board, the surfer looks like a seal. The shark thinks "Ooh, lunch!" and attacks. Once the shark bites in, and tastes a skinny human instead of a fat seal, it usually gets bored and swims away.
Seals are one of the shark's favourite meal. If a shark attacked you it thought you were a seal and was going up ready to have you as a meal so it bites you.
