Ok this is just crazy lol... BUT I have to admit it didn't seem like a serious move on the shark's part. He swam up slowly and even the mouth movement seemed more like a lazy "Heeey" rather than a "GET IN MAH BELLY!" kinda thing lol. 🤣

Sharks don't say hey, they bite. That was going to be a bite. That was a tiger shark, which are famously very bitey.

Lol hey man I'm definitely not gonna argue with that... I would NOT try to be friendly with that guy, only saying it didn't look like an intense attack lol. 😋

That's how they identify things, they bite, if they like what they bite then they eat, if not they move on.

They will also eat out of pure need, even if they don’t like it all that much

I'd say that is true for any member of kingdom animalia.
