Despite the common motivations for a shark to bite, there is another motivation that always includes at least a second bite, as well as a minimum of two different body areas. A shark commonly bites due to exploration, stress, competition or provocation. Most often that's that and the shark refrains from biting a second time but on rare occasion the person kicks or hits the shark right after the first bite or even during it and the animal "compensates" with another bite, in this case with a defensive bite.
