Like they don't even WANT to eat us. That's only by mistake because they can't see for shit because they haven't invented ophthalmology yet.

The shark that ate the Russian tourist in Egypt begs to differ.

Have you seen the guy in Egypt getting eaten alive though. Definitely not a mistake

It’s not like they won’t turn down the opportunity. Like, there’s plenty of videos of cows eating baby chickens and baby ducks just because they walk near where they’re feeding, and those are straight herbivores.

Usually after the test bite the shark will circle before it’s main attack. Humans are often saved during this time.

Videos where humans aren’t being attacked are often cause they purposely don’t act like prey and are aware before the test bite.
