Shark behavior

Shark behavior is driven by instincts related to hunting, navigation, and survival. They are highly sensitive to movement, vibrations, and electrical signals in the water, helping them locate prey. Sharks often patrol specific territories, guided by their sense of smell and electromagnetic fields. They are generally cautious, but will attack if they perceive a threat or prey. Many species have social behaviors, such as forming temporary groups, but they are primarily solitary predators. Understanding these behaviors helps us coexist more safely and appreciate their vital role in ocean ecosystems.
