Shark

The Shark is a tier 10 animal.

Mechanics

Hammerheads evolve into sharks.
- 48,000 XP is required for a hammerhead to evolve into a shark.
Sharks do not evolve into any other animals, as they are one of the latest animals.
Sharks drop meat upon death.
As a shark, friendly fire is turned off for all tier 1 animals: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

You are alerted to the location of all bleeding animals.
- A red blood drop will appear at the location of where a bleeding animal or low health animal is in the same way you see chat messages.
The amount of time an orca can grab you for is lower than for other animals.

You will lose oxygen if you stop moving.
- You will instantly lose all of your oxygen if you get grabbed by an orca.
You boost faster
You have a slow turning speed while boosting.
You cannot eat food while boosting.

This is a complete list of food that sharks can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	XP	Description
Barb	All except for the stonefish who spawned it	0	Spawns behind a stonefish using their active ability. Deals damage upon eating it (7% of max life). Poisons anyone who eats it with a base DPS of 10% that lasts 5 seconds (except poison-immune animals). Despawns after 4 seconds.
Bird Poop	All except for lamprey and seagull	10	Affected by gravity. Automatically spawns below any seagull every 10 seconds.
Plankton	All	25	Spawns in the ocean.
Ice	All	50	Spawns in the arctic and deeeep.
Volcano Food	All except lamprey	125	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
Person	Tier 9 to tier 10 except sunfish and stonefish	300	Spawns just above the water. Does not spawn in the arctic.
Flappy Duck	Ray to tier 10	675	Spawns in a horizontal line just below the height limit.
Meat	All	1000	Spawns where an animal dies (tier 2 to tier 10 animals only). The amount of meat that spawns depends on what animal it was.

Sharks cannot hide anywhere as they are a tier 10 animal.

This section highlights all the changes made to the shark in documented updates so far. A full changelog can be found here.

Update	Changes
Pre-November 4th, 2016 (Release)	Added 7 animals: fish, crab, squid, ray, hammerhead, dolphin, and shark.
November 4th, 2016	Sharks can no longer stay still for too long, as they will stop breathing.
January 21st, 2017	Shark has new passive (Bloodseeker) and active (Rage) skills (rage increases speed for 4 seconds, but slows rotation speed). If a killer whale grabs a shark, it will now lose all of its oxygen. Sharks without oxygen lose 10% of their max life per second.
February 2nd, 2017	Sharks can no longer eat food while in rage.
February 13th, 2017	Killer whale's maximum grabbing time for a shark has been reduced from 4 to 3 seconds. DogJelly's idea: Whale's attack increases when killer whales or sharks are near. 5% per shark and 15% per orca, stackable 5 times. Attack only increases towards Sharks/Orca.
February 28th, 2017	Sharks and orcas can now eat NPC fish (pollock). Removed whale damage bonus for sharks (and bonus for orcas is divided by amount of whales near).
March 18th, 2017	Giant Squid can now grab a boosting shark.
