TasteWhile sharks probably don't count calories, many choose what they eat depending on how it tastes. A shark's mouth is lined with taste buds. Some sharks will eat anything; others will reject food because they don't like the taste (which may include the taste of humans). For a shark to use its taste sense, food needs to be close enough for it to take a bite.
