appear in GTA V as hostile animals, capable of attacking and
killing the player. They spawn at random in all depths of the
oceans around San Andreas, particularly in Blaine County,
usually by themselves or in groups of two or three. When a shark
is in the area, it appears as a red dot on the map, and will
circle the player or their boat in curiosity. If the player is
swimming, the shark will continue circling, gradually getting
closer. Eventually the shark will attack, but only if the player
is in front of it. Being killed by a shark unlocks the "Out Of
Your Depth" achievement/trophy.  According to Abigail, a
Stranger & Freaks character, sharks in GTA V are "San Andreas
White Sharks", a fictional subspecies of the great white shark.
They are endangered, hence why they seldom appear in-game.
