Sharks are believed to be attracted to white and may choose a lighter victim.
The analysis of the claims regarding sharks being attracted to white and selecting lighter victims reveals insufficient evidence to support either claim. No authoritative fact-checking or scientific studies directly address or validate these specific assertions. Therefore, both claims are rated low on factuality and confidence. The claim that sharks are attracted to white cannot be substantiated by the current evidence, and the suggestion that sharks might choose a lighter victim is speculative without scientific backing.
