If a shark was not hungry and you were next to it what would happen?

While it cannot be guaranteed due to individual behaviors and situations, in most cases, if a shark is not hungry and a person is nearby, it is unlikely to engage in predatory behavior unless it feels threatened or provoked. Most shark attacks typically occur due to mistaken identity or due to feeling defensive when sharks feel trapped or harassed. As long as one doesn't behave unpredictably or threaten the shark's habitat and space, the chances of being attacked are significantly reduced. To further prevent any potential encounters, it's generally advised to follow recommendations during water activities near known shark habitats.
