I would Love if Minecraft Developer's add this animal as a mob to the game
Shark's variations
Tiger Shark:this mob can be seen on coastal waters,this aquatic mob will be special because of a fact,since sharks are scavenger hunters,if you kill a bull shark,there is a small chance they actually drop items like armors,rods and rotten flesh,this mob can attack adult turtles!
Great White Shark:This mob can be seen on the oceans,the behavior of this mob is passive but there is a small chance of spawning "Jaws" shark,the "Jaws" shark will attack humans and even boats,to prevent issues with that mob,this type of mob variation will be rare,but you can spawn it by using nametag with the name "Jaws"(Without quotation marks).
Special item:Both Sharks Variations will spawn a special item called "Shark's Fin",it can be used on potions and stews,if you use the Shark's Fin on potions it will give two benefits: 8-3 minutes of breathing in water and,and a increasing of 50% of the speed on water
I Hope you like this idea,if you dont like it,say how to make this suggestion better.
Bull sharks are nastier-tempered than great white sharks are, by a lot. This is the shark that terrorized east coast river communities in the late 20th century (events that inspired the Jaws movies), and kicked off movements to specifically endanger multiple shark species (this call originally started out as just bull sharks, since that's what was eating kids and pets, but because people get really crazy when really scared folks started also hunting great whites and other sharks as well). This is the shark that hunts for fun, this is the shark that will hunt you down to the ends of the earth to get revenge, this is the shark that will kill you slowly (ie, torture) because you got it extremely pissed off. Great Whites are almost docile by comparison.
All sharks suffer from really terrible eyesight, so really the only way for them to explore the world around them up close and personal is to put it in their mouths. This is akin to playful nipping by a dog/cat, so they aren't really putting their full bite strength behind it...but because evolution filled their mouths with steak knives even this "kiss" can prove catastrophic.

So you think the good vision of the Shark's fin potion is a bad idea? Ok
These ideas don't look bad, but there is something to be said for letting the changes of the Aquatic Update play out before further changing that environment.
This might be incorporated into a mod, but MS/Mj's absolute stomp-their-feet-and-shake-their-curls insistance that sharks will never (ever) be added makes this something of a windmill*1 suggestion.

Unfortunately, it may never happen because of their stance on sharks being misunderstood.

That's the weakness of shark as a hostile mob. They're very bland and generic, and also hard to apply use to in Minecraft. So Shark Fin is basically a discount water breathing potion? Why add sharks when their role can be covered with Pufferfish (water breathing potion). And the quick swimming can already be covered with Dolphin's Grace and Conduit (in fact, conduit also gave you water breathing).
I Hope you like this idea,if you don't like it,say how to make this suggestion better.
Think about this: Why Shark? There's literally thousands or millions other option that Mojang can choose for underwater hostile mobs other than the cliché generic shark. In fact, it can be infinite if you consider fantasy fictional mobs (which fits more of Notch's vision of the game)
While sharks would be great, Mojang is too busy adding random fantasy crap that makes no sense.
So what you're saying is that Mojang wouldn't add this to the game because they're adding fantasy mobs? That's quite absurd. Also, you do know they consistently added real life mobs in the game from previous update, right? (with the exception for 1.9)
1.8 - Rabbit
1.10 - Polar Bear
1.11 - Llama
1.12 - Parrot
1.13 - Turtle and Dolphin
Also, the fantasy mobs. It's called fantasy. Of course it wouldn't make real life sense. And i wouldn't call them "crap". They have a place in their game and their fantasy behavior make each of the mobs retains their uniqueness.
For example the method of which Shulker attack and defend is different from skeleton despite the fact both of them are hostile and shoots projectile. Shulker also drops their shells which can be made into a backpack-like item. They also poses a threat in the End City which expands the End dimension. I think Shulker makes the game better because of my previous statement, and it wouldn't bothered me if they're still a fantasy creature.
I actually saw a poll on Minecraft Forums the other day. A lot more people voted for more realism compared to more fantasy, so I'm not unique in my preference.

This seems balanced enough. How much health would the sharks have, and how much damage would each shark do?
Tiger Shark:
HP:20
Damage:3
Great White Shark
HP:25
Damage:5

Sharks should begin to attack your boat if you stay in one spot for too long (in hard difficulty)
