Editing Shark attack (section)

== Terminology ==
While the term "shark attack" is in common use for instances of humans being wounded by sharks, it has been suggested that this is based largely on the assumption that large predatory sharks (such as great white, bull, and tiger sharks) seek humans as prey. A 2013 review recommends that only in instances where a shark clearly predates on a human should the bite incident be termed an "attack," implying predation. Otherwise, it is more accurate to class bite incidents as "fatal bite incidents". Sightings do include physical interaction, encounters including physical interaction with harm, shark bites include major shark bite incidents, including those that require medical attention, and fatal shark bite incidents that result in death. The study suggests that only where an expert validates the predatory intent of a shark would it be appropriate to term a bite incident an attack.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Pepin-Neff |first1=Christopher |author-link=Christopher Pepin-Neff |last2=Hueter |first2=Robert |date=23 January 2013 |title=Science, policy, and the public discourse of shark "attack": a proposal for reclassifying human–shark interactions |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235930824 |journal=Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences |language=en |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=65–73 |doi=10.1007/s13412-013-0107-2 |doi-access=free|bibcode=2013JEnSS...3...65N }}</ref>
